the Sreond, Third. Fourth ana Firih

ID EN- ocrntIc Aidermanic Nominees in

Ia the Second ward. Martin f. o Reilly
is the nominee. He has been hard
working mechanic in Rock Island for
twelve years. He is moulder in the
foundry at the Rock Island pillow shops
and has worked steady at his trade since
he came to this city from Brooklyn, n,
Y, where he had been employed for nine
years on the South Side railroad While
Mr.. O'Reilly has always been a democrat
in principle and has voted nothing but
the democratic ticket all his life, he has
never taken prominent part in politics,
though he has taken great Zeal of in
terest in city affairs. He is honest, i'm
dustrious and capable and will make a
competent alderman, Mr. OReilly lives
at the corner of Ninth avenue and Flew
enth street.
In the Third ward Mr. G. w. Negus is
the candidate Mr.. Menus was born and
reared in Rock Island, and has grown up,
so to speak in the ward which is now to
elect him alderman. He is a thorough
busln ess man. and is popular with all
classes. The democrats of the Third
ward should compliment Mr. Negus with
a big majority next Tuesday,
In the Fourth ward, Mr.. Matthias
Schnell is the candidate of the democracy.
A man who by his own eXertions has
been very successful in business life, and
through his experience as contractor

Is 1Ee a Fraud 7

There is smart, active boy, twelve OF
fourteen years old around town soliciting
aid TO continue his journey. Two Of
three weeks ago he visited some of our
citizens, claiming he was from Iowa
working his way east, that lis parents
were dead and he was left lone orphan.
Within few days he has represented
himself from Wichita, where his mother
recently died poor, that the little house.
hold goods she left were sold to pay her
funeral expenses, that his father was in
sane and now in an asylum in Topeka,
and he was soliciting money to get to
Milwaukee where he expected to live
with an aunt. He said the Milwaukee &
ST. Paul ticket agent here agreed TO let
him have ticket at half price. His tale
is well calculated to excite sympathy.
If he is fraud, as seems no doubt, the
police should arrest him.
This is probably not the same youth
who received funds from the overseer of
the poor in Davenport TO convey him to
Geneseo, as detailed in last nights ARGUS,
though there is such thing as the two
persons being the same and that he has a
new song" in every town.

the Orion CatastrOnhe.

A correspondent speaking of the terri
Bile death of Mr. Rockwell Rutlege, of
that place, heretofore mentioned in the
ARGUS, says:
He was formerly of Alpha. He was
living on Mrs. Jordan's farm and was
saving his summers wood with steam
saw, and the saw caught small stick of
wood which he had hold of, and pulling
him in, killed him instantly. He was the
noblest of young men. l was personally
acquainted with HIM; was present at his
funeral. The funeral was conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Gage, of Alpha, and Rev. Mr.
Gray of SwinimiHoc. Mr. Rutlege was
a member of the Baptist church at Al,
pha. He leaves a wife and one child, his
father, mother, brother and four sisters
and many friends to mourn his loss.

a Lunaeic's Caper.

During last night-supposedly about
midnight--Henry Hoffman, who occupies
rooms with his father in August Rand's
building in Greenbush. escaped from his
sleeping apartment and not even half
clad, walked to Moline, where he was ar.
rested at an early hour this morning
bare eaded, bare, footed and decided
scarcity of general wearing apparel. His
feet were badly bruised and cut from
walking over the frozen ground. The
impression is that he had slippers on
when he started out. The unfortunate
fellow is about twenty five years of age,
and under ordinary circumstances is ra>
tional, but appears to have periodical
spells of mental arrangement.

As TO Government Buildings.

A mass meeting was held in the court
house at Monmouth yesterday to consider
the matter of location for a government
BILL should Congressman Gest's bill tor
buildings at Monmouth and Rock Island
pass. One of the most remarkable Incl.
dents was the address of Howard Pattec,
who began by repeating "a prophet
without honor" etc, and saying he
wasn't a prophet, but would prophecy
one thing. There is no money now app
propriated for this building, and you ca
bet your bottom dollar there never will
be. The whole thing is political scheme
of Mr.. Gest to get reelected, and when he
goes back to Washington the matter will
drop"
This announcement of his disbelief,
the Monmouth Gazette says, was bailed
with cheers, and amid the noise was heard
the voice of Phil Stewart suggesting that
the question be made an issue in the
presidential campaign.
