A LADY'S VIEW.
The Dance Not Diminished In Popular
fty by MI. Marquis Sermen---The
Hospital Alone Affected.

Hospital Alone Affected.
Editor ARGUS:
ROCK ISLAND, Feb 9-Before the sub
Ject of dancing at the charity ball is
dropped l wish to express the opinion of
at least one woman who is in no way
connected with the management of the
| hospital.
First. l think the ladies' of the hos
pital guild have a right to feel that the
| remarks of Mr.. Marquis were more of an
| attack upon their work than upon dane
| ing itself. because dancing parties have
| been repeatedly given and dancing clubs
and classes formed by the members of
his flock. 1t seems Inconsistent that
| dancing for mere pleasure in private
| houses should 60 unrebuked. or at least
so mildly rebuked, that they have not
been stopped, while dancing ut the char
ity ball. which would encourage good
women in a noble work, has been so
severely censured as to cause it to DE a
financial failure.
Second. know that more evil
thoughts have been put into innocent
minds by the sermon, than would have
been implanted by years of dancing.
pital guild is great, as stated in last
nights ARGUS. The balls in former years
have netted $500 and 800 to the
guild. This year the gain is but little
over 800. However if great social
evil granting for moment that it is a
social eviD, has been put down, a mere
money loss is not to be considered. But
has this been donef No. The reply has
been made more than once in time it
will all blow over, but just now l don't
Want to seem to oppose our pastor" Il
didn't 60 to the-chari y ball, but l don't
intend to give up dancing"
Fourth. If 1 under. TODD Mr. NJ arquis,
he is not opposed to the stately minuet
nor the dignifed Quadrille. Then. since
be thinks the work Of raising money for
the hospital laudible, why could not the
members of his congregation have gone
TO the ball and shown their principles by
steadfastly refusing to join in the soul
destroying altz As dancing is an evil
which tegan very early in bible days, the
reform must come slowly. 1t cannot SO
be choked in day, nor by a single SER

INDIANAPOLIS POSTOFFIOE.
The Civil Service Commissioners on the
Grounds to Investigate Affairs.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 17.-Messrs.
Lyman, Roosevelt and Thompson, civil
service commissioners, arrived here this
evening Mr.. Lyman is president of the
commission. In answer to an inquiry he
said: I'VE are here to ascertain what the
situation is in the postoffice. There has
been good deal of talk in the newspapers
that the civil service rules were not being
strictly enforced here; that a good many
changes were necessary i'll order to make
the office efficient; that in order that these
changes might be made it was necessary
to hold an examination at once, at least
before the regular examination IN August.
All these things have been brought to our
attention. On the other hand it has
been alleged that an examination
would be move wholly in
the interest of the Republican party; that
there was nothing in the condition OF the
office or in the situation that demanded the
number Of changes which alone would
Justify an examination"
Mr.. Lyman added that the commission
had reason to believe that almost all the
men who demanded the examination since
the appointment of Postmaster Wallace
were Republicans, "and that" said the
commissioner, sis condition of things
we want to break up. We want the people
of this community, Democrats and Re
publicans alike, TO understand that the
examinations are open to all and that no
discrimination will be made in the work
ings or the certifications to follow"

WANTS MAIDSTONE TESTED.

KANSAS CITY, June IA Times special
from Sedalia, Mo-, says two weeks aRo DR..
Ed. n. Small, chief surgeon of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas road, was the owner
of seven valuable hunting dogs Five of
the number died last week of hydrophobia
Today the sixth was found to be afflicted
with rabies, and the seventh also exhibited
symptoms. Il. A. Blair and Dr. T. E.
White, of this city, have in their possess
sion so-called madstones which they claim
are sure antidotes for mad dog bites.
Small asserts that a maidstone possesses
no virtue whatever, and to test the matter
he offers $500 to any person who will sub
nit TO being bit by the rabid dog now in
his possession who will run the risk of the
maidstone removing the poisonous effects
of the bite. The offer is made in good
faith and is open to all.

THE WABASH ORDERED TRANS
EERRED

FERREO.
TOLEDO, O., June 11.-Judges Gresham
and Jackson were on the bench of the
United States circuit court here today in
the Wabash railway case. The special
masters, in their report, demanded that
the rolling stock of the company be sold
and the proceeds divided among the mort
gage holders, either by a mileage division
or according to priority of mortgages.
General Hubbard, representing the pur-
chasing committee, asked that the prop
erty be turned over to that COM
mittee on July l. Hon. d. II. Cham
berlin, ex-governor Of South Carolina,
on the part of the first
mortgage bondholders said there was no
objection to the delivery of the property at
that time provided the terms of the sale
were complied with. The court ordered
that the deed be made out and the prop
erty transferred on July /. General Hub
bard said that notices had been sent out
that meeting of the stockholders would
be held on July 2G for the purpose of con-
solidating the lines east and west Of the
Mississippi. New bonds will then be
issued to take the place of all outstanding
ones, the Central Trust company,
advancing the purchase price on
the personal security OF the purchasing
committee. When the point as to The
of the proceeds of the rolling
stock came up it provoked a discussion
which continued all afternoon, Judge II.
Crawford, of Chicago, objected to the df-
visions as to mileage, because in that
event the Chicago division which owns
but about one five-hundreth of the rolling
stock of the entire system, would be en-
titled to one-third OF the proceeds. The
case Will be resumed tomorrow.
