possible to estimate how many for

United States who, though eligible TO
citizenship, still do not take out natu-
ralization papers, and the suggestion
is @fered to our Legislators that natu-
ralzation be made compulsory. In
such u composite population as we

"A Brave Act.

This morning Mr.. Phil Mitchel's well
known horse started from the postott1ce
on little tour of his own through the
town. He cut across Seventeenth street
and through the alley, neatly Guiding
the entire ARGUS force which had been
sent out to capture him, turned into
Eighteenth street and pursued souther-
ly course to Second avenue, and after
stopping at the corner for a second as if
contemplating which way TO 60, started
west, but in the middle of the block,
Police Officer Pat Cary and the modes

and desperate effort succeeded in captur-
ing the wilful beast and returning him to
his master.

Reasons why the a., IL. ~ q. Bridge
May BE Built This Year-Interest-
ing Interview.
The ARGUS has recently noted the
presence of c., B. & O. surveyors in the
lower part of the city, the object of their
Investigations being the locating of a
second bridge across the river. The
Davenport Democrat Gazette has the fol-
lowing on the same subject:
"Do you know that the Q. folks have
an idea that they will be able to build a
bridge of their own between Davenport
and Rock Island if they choose to do so,
after they have got through with the
railroad companies with whose lines they
have connection, and which have refused
to accept freight from. or deliver freight
to, them since the strike of the engineers
set in, 1t is a fact. Now, there are
| forty cars in Davenport loaded with
| freight for Stations on the lines of the
G B. & Q,-side- tracked at the Glucose
| works, the Eagle works, the saw mills
and other manufactures. Daily the Q.
| agent demands that these cars shall be
delivered to his line in Rock Island &C.
cording to contract, and daily the c., II.
|. & P. folks decline to so deliver them,
but say get an engineer to haul
them and you can have them
Over in Rock Island city there
are nearly 100 car loads of freight
on the Q. tracks consigned to merchants
and manufacturers in Davenport. Daily
number Of these cars are hauled into
| the Rock Island yards for transfer to
n, i, 80,
the part of the c.. II l. & P. yardmaster
over there to send them to Davenport.
These acts are repeated daily by the Q.
folks for the purpose of securing evil
dence in the trial of the great suit for
damages they intend to bring against the
c., r. l. 81 P. under the inter- state
commerce law"
What is the penalty in that law for
refusing to deliYer cars at such point as

1T is S5,OOOl So you see that the re-
lection of the forty cars in Davenport
and the one hundred cars across the river
