appreclstive entertainment at their home
on Elm street last evening. to a company
Of ato 1t one hundred friends. 1t par

Holmes In Chicago.

The Chicago Herald has this of c.. r
Holmes. president of the tri-city street
Car syndicate:
Any one who has seen c. B. Holmes
drive his rig through the streets can vel
believe that he is in favor of rapid transit.
MIR: Holmes is president of the South Side
cable road, and is one of the most expert
drivers in town. He can get through
bigger crowds and smaller holes with his
rig than almost any one else in town
He used to drive An old buggy which was
sturdy enough to rip the driving wheel of
OF Il locomotive in collision, and it was
pulled by spanking team. When the
State street road was in course of con-
struction he used to get in that old buggy
and drive along the torn-u street. going
over hills of concrete. mountains of iron,
and pillows of mud like ship in heavy
sea. And he has never had AN accident
How he drives his lively team to q little
inclosed carriage like a doctors rig, and
the way he escapes collisions aud gets
over the ground is caution He drives
as he walks-on the jump.

The proposition to consolidate the
cities OF Rock Island and Moline, seems
to be meeting with considerable favor il
Moline as we'll az in Rock Island. anC
there. too the more sensible view seem!
to be taken. A gentleman who is inter
ested in one OF the most prominent man
ufacturing industaies there. butt whose
home is in this city. in conversation with
an ARGUS representative the other morn
ing remarked:
II am most heartily in favor of the con-
solidation, and particularly am | favora
BILE to the adoption of the name Of Rocl
Issand. I'll tell YOU why: Much as hat
been the gain of Moline in point Of dis
tinction through its many and varied
Industries. Rock Island is. by its advan
tageous location. its great railroad and
river facilities. the government arsenal
ETC., the better known city. l will cite
an Illustration Of this that came under
my own observst on and experience-and
by the way it Is only one of a great many
such similar incidents that have come to
my attention. Not long ago while trav'
cling in the west, making one Of my reg
ular business trips. l registered at hotel
in growing western city, as from Mo-
line. In conversation with citizen
there one evening | was asked by him
as to the location of Moline. Why.
said l. 1t is three miles east of Rock ISL
and, and manufacturing city that does
not take a back seat to anv in the coun-
try oh. know where Rock Island Is
we'll enough. the gentlemen replied, but
| never heard of Moline before"
so this. you zee, is the reason, that
while my business interests are all in
Moline. l would rather have the consoli
consolidated. Moline, while famous as 6
dated city called Rock Island-if they are
manufactur city, is known only to the
dealer-nOt the consumer, and Rock Isl
and is known to all. SO you see 1t would
be mutually advantageous to unite under
the name of Rock Island. Moline In
dustries might preserve their trade marks
just the same, though the city's name
would be Rock Island"
Rock Island is the county seat, the
larger city. too, and always will he. 1t i:
