That stone Telegram.


The veteran editor of the Rock Islander,
who, according to his putting it. twas a
bad man thirty or forty years ago, is &C
cording to the inference, a model of truth
and fairness now. This model has taken
the trouble to clip paragraph from the
ARGUS of Thursday evening. which says
1t has received telegram about the
stone for the arsenal dam, and then goes
on to assert that mo telegram came
from Washington to the ARGUS from
anybody" and proceeds to give dis
patch from Mr.. Schureman to his assis>
tant, which contains the same informa-
ton in more egotistic form: Il have
their scalp. The stone will be cut on the
island. Will be home Saturday night"
Now it 30 happens that the writer hereof
has seen the dispatch to the ARGUS, and
therefore knows of its existence: 1t is
dated May 90 (nighD and reads as fol-
lows:
WASHINGTON, May 30.
To Z. l. ARGUS: Gest and have be en-
making streng fight to have stone cut on
the island. Prospects are elegant.

As the Union has kindly refuted the
malicious lie of the monumental old hal
of the Rock Islander in regard to the
ARGUS receiving no dispatch from Wash
lngton on the Both. it is needless for us
to inflict the public with any further ref :
erence to this latest false assertion of ole

vice-..Plans or the syndicate.
The Holmes syndicate will soon be in
shape to give to the public its promised
improvements in the street car service of
the three cities. Everything necessary
to such q change has been ordered and
before thirty days have expired there
will be a new order of things In the sys-
tenn under Supt Scbnitger's supervision.
The latter part of next week twen-
ty>seven new open cars will ar
rive from st. Louis, eighteen OF
which will be assigned 10 the route
between Rock Island & Moline, half
on the red and half on the blue line.
Six will be put on the bridge road be-
tween Davenport and Rock Island.
These will be painted green. Two will
be used to fill out the quota of cars on
the Second street line in Davenport and
one will go onto the Third street route
over the river, that being all that is
necessary to fill out the equipment
of that road, the two Union line
open cars which are as good as new .hav-
ing been sent over there, and there were
a number of new open cara on the road
when Mr.. Holmes took it. The Daven-
port Second street car running in this
city now will be returned and then Mr..
Schnitger will have his open Car service
completed. Enough closed cars to match
the open ones, are also being built to fill
out the service with the good ones now
on hand. and they will come along
through the summer.
1t is learned, too, that President
Holmes has ordered the iron for the en-.
tire work of rebuilding On both sides Of
the river. and the repairing where it is
necessary.
The new Moline avenue car barns will
be under way in few days, and it is not
improbable that new barn will oe built
for the Third street line in Davenport. 1t
is needed badly enough.

Secretary Of the Interior.
JOHN WILCOX NOBLE,
OF ST. LOUIS.

John Wilcox Noble was born in
Lancaster, Ohio, October 26, 1881.
Among his brothers is Henry c. No
BILE, a prominent lawyer of Columbus,
Ohio. He passed his early days in
Columbus and Cincinnati, where he
enjoyed good educational advantages.
He attended Miami University and
afterward Yale College, graduating
from that institution in 1851. Upon
his graduation he studied law, first in
the office of his brother and then in
that of Henry Stanberry, subsequent
ly distinguished as Acknowledgement
of the United States under President
Johnson. Mr.. Noble settled first in
st. Louis in 1855. Not meeting with
the success in the practice of the law
that he expected, he removed the
following yeal to Keokuk, Iowa,
where he became prominent at the
bar.
At the breaking out of the war he
enlisted as a private in the Third
Iowa Cavalry. This regiment was
actively engaged from the beginning
to the close of the war, and distin-
guished itself in many battles, and
Mr.. Noble was steadily promoted I'M
til he became Colonel. He was in
the battle of Pea Ridge, was present
at the surrender of Vicksburg, and
took part in the cavalry raid into
Alabama and Georgia. At the close
of the war he was promoted to a
Brigadier- Generalship for meritorious
services. He was mustered out in
1865. General Noble was married in
1864. Two children were born of the
marriage, neither Of whom is living.
After the war Gen. Noble settled in
st. Louis where he was made United
States District Attorney by President
Johnson. He resigned his position
in 1870, and has since been engaged
in the private practice of law.
The gentleman who, it is confident.
ly believed, will be Secretary of the
Interior in the Harrison Cabinet, was
the particular friend of the President
elect when they were at Miami Col
lege together.
