and was one of Krell & Maths most
elaborate and richest collations.

1t has been suggested that an econom-
ical, and at the same time an effective
and advantageous way of advertising the
city would be to arrange magic lantern
outfit with views of the many excellent
points Of interest in the neighborhood,
such as the largest pillow works in the
world, the largest round house in the
world, the largest arsenal in the world
and the many other attractions here
abouts, and start some worthy man to
the eastern states this winter to give ex-
hibitions. The sale of photographs, the
fac simile of the views, and the price o.
admission to the entertainment would
much more than pay all expenses. and thu
locality would get the advertising free.

AFTER THE Ours.

Twenty.eight Unmuxxied Dogs Laid
Ont 40 Far-..An Unjust Attack Upon
an On,cer-.- Course.
Officer Sexton is the dead shot OF the
police force when it comes to tackling
dogs, the owners Of which have not COM
piled with the law, though all OF the
force have proved themselves pretty gem
orally skillful with the rife, and it is the
exception that the first shot does NOT
settle the unfortunate brute aimed a..
This morning eleven dogs were siain'
making the total number slaughtered 10
date, twenty eight.
This morning the Union makes an un>
just and unfounded attack upon one OF the
force for shooting an unmuzzled dog
on Fifth avenue yesterday afterno on
| The article alluded to states that the dog
was lying at its masters feet when the
officer fired. This is untrue. The own
er of the dog offered to pay the officer q
dollar to kill the animal, and it was in the
owners yard when the officer fired. The
shot did not take effect and the wounded
dog dashed into the adjoining yard and
into the house of another citizen-not the
owner of the dog, however-and the off,
Ger. knowing that the dog in its wounds
ed condition might do injury, pursued it,
and recapturing it later put it out OF its
misery and removed the danger.
The officer did no more than his
duty, and the attack upon him
is as uncalled for as it is vicious. The Off
Ger realized that he had no right to &c
into private premises to kill a dog, and
would not have done so had he not known
that the dog was dangerous, having sho
it upon the request of its owher, and
he was therefore justified in doing as ht
did.
The ARGUS does not believe in tn
promiscuous shooting of dogs. In fac
it would be much better if the unmuzzle,
dog as well as the unchecked, should b
impounded for few days before bein.
killed, but under the present circumstan
ces where there is danger of hydrophobi
the police cannot be too vigilant. The
should use care, but no unmuzzled do
should escape.

where. and believed that he had worked
more wilful injury to the town than any
other instrument.
Dimick replied by stating that he al>
ways told the truth, and believed the way
to abolish an evil was to expose it, and
then he got onto his old hobby about mu-
nicipal rings etc., and taking his hat, left
the chamber.
Mr.. Saville Johnston made practical
talk about the determined and energetic
move that must be made in order that the
objects of the association may be accom-
plished. He voiced much logic and
brought much truth to the surface. The
value of everything, he said, was regulat-
ed by the value of real estate. The way
to enhance the value of real estate was to
encourage foreign capital. He was glad
to see the proposition of the railway syn
dictate to enter Rock Island. He hoped
the syndicate would succeed in acquiring
the rights desired and the gentlemen
would come to Rock Island and bring
their friends. He agreed with Mr.. Guyer,
who had said that the city had got to get
out of its bottled up condition. We
have natural advantages unsurpassed and
it was only necessary to get the acquired
advantages to build great city here. He
believed in forming an organization that
| would make itself felt
Ex.Mayor Carse made happy adj
dress, speaking encouragingly of the ad-
vancement of the past twenty years--the
| period covered by his residence here. 1t
was considered a lively place them but
was nothing 10 the present city with its
| manufactures, waterworks, sewers, new
bridges. etc. He had advocated special
assessments when mayor, aud thought it
great mistake that the system was not
put in practice years ago. He declared
himself in favor of abolishing the Rock
river bridge tolls now, and spoke of the
necessity of getting the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific trains to run to a union
depot in the heart of the city. This
could be accomplished and it certainly
must be-
Mr.. Leopold Simon also favored the
union depot idea and he believed there
would be no difficulty in getting the c..
R. /. & P. trains to run into it if the
proper steps were taken. He also be-
lieved coed deal could be accomplished
for the city's good by speaking well of i
everywhere, to be more stuck on tn,

Mr.. Guyer then took the floor and
made plain statement of facts as to the
city's condition and the steps that must
be taken in order to have it progress as
it should and will. He favored the OPEN
ing up of the avenues of commerce and
traffic on every side and the removal of
everything that even might be construed
into being the vestige of wall about the
town. He advocated the abolition of
the Rock river bridge tolls, by quo
warranto proceedings if necessary, and
the improvement of streets, sidewalks,
ETC., by special assessment. He made q
stong plea for cooperative progressive
movement for the advancement of the
city and offered many valuable sugges-
tons.
Mr.. o. J. Dimick made plea for the
/ encouragement of outside enterprise and
the granting of the required rights sought
by the gentlemen of the Chicago syndi'
cate who were anxious to bring money
| into Rock Island and invest it. He
favored the double track railway from

A PRISON CELEBRATION.
How the Convlcts at Folsom Observed
Washington's Birthday.

How the Convlcts at Folsom Observed
Washington's Birthday.
A REcoRD-UNIoN representative was dis
patched to the Folsom State Prison last
Wednesday to attend the celebration held
by the inmates of the prison in honor and
commemoration of the Birthday of the
Father of his country. The arrival at the
prison was made after an hours ride across
the valley and into the foothills, on one of
the loveliest mornings, and over section
bright with the verdure of opening spring.
At the prison everything was in perfect or
der, and the grounds to the eye presented a
charming view. The lawns are thor
oughly well kept and are especially beauti-
full after the recent rains, succeeded bv these
glorious sunshiny days. There are not many
flowers in bloom at present, as the plants
have been recently trimmed up, bnt the
promise for full floral wealth is seen on
every hand. The garden presents a most
pleasing aspect to the eye. 1t is in min
ature valley, surrounded on three sides by
grass-grown slopes over fifty feet in hight.
On the eastern slope the gardeners have
planted various small, low-growing plants
of different hues in the forms of anchors,
| crosses, Grand Army badges, ETC., and
when the flowers are in full bloom these
designs will be very handsome, and be a
very striking feature in the landscape of
the prison grounds. The drives and walks
are as smooth and hard as cement
walks, and almost as serviceable. The
cell buildings are well kept, and the
new addition, erected by the prisoners, is
almost completed. The building work of
the prisoners is admitted to be much
superior 10 the original work of the con-
tractors that erected the main buildings
! The courses are more evenly laid and better
pointed, and the blocks of granite are more
| uniform in size and fitted much closer to-
gether. 1t was in this building that the
celebration of the day was held. In one
| corner large stage, some thirty feet wide,
bad been erected and was inclosed on three
| sides by cloth partitions. 1t was fitted
with roller curtain, on which was painted
view of Southern plantation. The per-
formance was "a Minstrel Show"
and was managed and conducted solely
by the prisoners.
They made their own costumes, and all
the characters assumed were original with
| them. The performance opened with the
usual first part of a minstrel show, with
w. E. Green as manipulation of the bones,
w. Gilmore as the tambo beater, and
Timothy Buckley as interlocutor and foil
| to the end-men's gags. The orchestra was
composed of prisoners, and rendered very
creditable music. demonstrating that they
had been drilled by some one who well
understood his task. All the instruments,
