Kansas City Was Dry.


KANSAS CITY. July 21.-The Sunday law
had it's desired effect for the first time to-
day since it's attempted enforcement, and
Kansas City was as dry as prohibition
Kansas. For three weeks the police have
attempted to close the saloons ON Sunday,
but without avail until to-day. Arrests
were first made under a city ordinance
which provided that no saloon should be
kept open within the municipal limits.
Convictions could not be had under that
ordinance. the police judge holding that
saloon-keepers who admitted their custom
ers through the side alley doors were not
keeping an open saloon. Then the
police commissioners ordered that
arrests be made under the State,
or Downing" law, which makes it q
felony to sell intoxicating liquors on Sun
day, and renders it obligatory upon the
part of the trial Judge TO revoke the license
in every conviction. Forty arrests were
made last Sunday under the latter law.
Appeals were taken by all of the prisoners
from justices to the Circuit Court, and the
trials have not yet occurred.
To-day Chief of Police Speers placed in
the hands of forty-five police officers blank
State warrants for the arrest of saloon keep
ers who violated the Downing law. The Off
GERS were In citizens clothes and they kept
a strict watch on their respective beats for
chances TO serve the warrants Only three
of them found the chance. Besides those
three there were only five other arrests in
the whole city, and but two of these were
booked as "drunks." The city was dry.

CINCINNATI, July 2l.-It was rumored
yesterday that the saloon-keepers had
made secret combine to defy the law by
keeping open to-day. Never since the be-
ginning of the attempt to enforce the Sun
day law were the saloons so generally and
so tightly closed as they have been to-day.
There have been fifteen arrests. all
told, and six of these were bar
keepers representing three saloons,
and nine were saloon-keepers. Less than
half dozen of the other offenders were in
the heart of the city. OF the remainder,
one was on the borders of Clifton, one was
in Woodburn, the extreme eastern part of
the city; another in Price Hill, near the ex-
treme western corporation line; still another
was near Cumminsville, and the other two
or three were OIL the edges of the city, in
out-of-the,way places remote from each
other. The police were very vlgllant IN
carrying out their instructions.
Mr.. Geo. +. COan, q member of the law
and order league, and printer In the en-
plOy of Mr.. Huston, secretary of that
league. visited Eichler's big saloon near
Burnet Woods and on the borders of Cliff
ton, about noon, and made it generally
known that he was of the law and order
league, and was there to call on the police
to close the establishment. Thereupon a
crowd of rougbs among the customers set
upon Coan, knocked him down and began
to beat him. The police rescued him before
he was badly hurt, and took him in patrol
wagon to place of safety. They then ar
rested Eichler. the proprietor, and his four
barkeepers. In rescuing Mr.. Coan some of
the police were struck with canes by men,
bers of the riotous crowd, for which they
got knocked down on the spot by official
clubs.
That the saloons were closed tonight was
evidenced by the numerous applications
of old ''soakers" at drug stores for
whisky. The drug stores were not per-
mitted to sell any thing but medicines, and
sOda-water, with acid phOsphates, but
without syrup, was classed as medicine, as
were Vichy and other mineral waters. Not a
cigar or plugof tobacco could be had except
clandestinely. Cigar stores that are news
stands were allowed to keep open to sell
papers. Barber-shops were shut up tightly.
Altogether it was a quiet Sunday. 1t is
universally understood here that the clos
ing of drug stores and cigar stores, butcher
shops, bakeries, etc, is retaliatOry move
ment by the aloon-keepers. inasmuch as
the law and order league is moving against
the saloons only.

last evening, and was conducted by
Messrs. G. o. Bloom. F. P. WEIGH and

A Bird's-Eye View OF Rock Island
which is also u Landscape OF Beauty
and Artistic Merit.
In October last, representatives of the
American Publishing Company Of Mil
waukee, came to Rock Island to look
over the ground and prepare to make a
bird's>eye map or view of.the city. The
advertising committee of the Citizens
Improvement Association investigated
the matter and determined if possible to
induce the company TO give us work OF
art, superior to anything heretofore at
tempted in that line. and on terms which
would make it possible to secure great
advantage TO our city.
Mr.. Henry Wellge. the president of the
company, and one of the finest artists IN
this country in this line of work, if in
deed he has peer, was induced to come
to r ock Island and personally make the
sketch, from which the engraving is to
be made. An examination of the work
will show how well it has been done. The
smallest details have not escaped the eye
of the ARTIST, and are depicted with min
ute accuracy While the background

river, and extending from point east o!

from Black Hawks watch tower. The de-
tail work Of the picture is really wonder
full, showing as it does the actual appear
ance Of every building, even to the small

The view is supposed to be taken from
an elevation up two miles over the ferry
dock at Davenport, enabling the observer
to look over some seven miles of the

SUPT. ssCHNITGER'S SYSTEM

Detailslof:the he, Running Arrangement
of Cars on the Holmes: Lines In the
-Ctties---The Track Laying.
Supt. Henry Schnitger. of the Holmes
syndicate lines in the cities of Rock ISL
and, Davenport and Moline. has about
perfected the details of the running ar
rangement of his cars on the various lines
aud routes comprising his system. There
are to be thirty-thre cars in all, distrib-
uted about ss follows: fourteen on the
two lines between Rock Island and Mo-
line, two on the Elm street plug. SIX on
the Davenport and Rock Island bridge
line, eight on the Third street line, in
Davenport, and three on the Sec
ond street route across the river.
The routes will be designated by the
colors of the cars as follows: Direct line
between Rock Island and Moline, red
Rock Island and Moline via Thirty-fifth
street, blue; Davenport and Rock Island
line, green; Elm street plug, yellow;
Third street. Davenport, Pullman, choco
late; Second street. Davenport, blue.
The east bound track of the Moline s
Rock Island route Is being connected
with the old one on Second avenue be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets,
and when this is done the cars will be
| switched into the new track, while the
west bound track is extended from
Twenty first street west and Joined.
Then Mr.. Schnitger will be able to
run his Thirty fifth street cars down
| over the main line to Fifteenth street
and reduce the time of cars between
those two streets to seven and one-hali
minute cars. When the track laying
operations are completed in Rock Island
| the Second street line in Davenport will
be double tracked west to Scott anC
| Third streets. The island track will be
double all the way across and nicely
paved, a tent having been erected un
der the viaduct at the end of the cause
way to prepare the paving cement, etc
VIM. Totten, in charge of this work, in
formed an ARGUS representative las
evening that he expected to get at thu

MOLINE WANTS HIM.

Principal Hatch Receives a Very
Complimentary Call, which He May
Accept.
Mr.. w. w. Hatch. for nearly seven
years the popular and efficient principal
of the Rock Island high school, has been
elected by the Moline board Of education,
superintendent of the Moline city schools
to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Supt. Mack. The offer is very
complimentary one to Mr. Hatch. in that
it came TO him without solicitation on his
part; indeed when first approached on
the subject BY committee of the Moline
board, some time since. he refused to con-
slider such proposition. He was urged
to do so however Last Monday night the
! Moline board elected him, and yesterday
formal tender of the position, and this
Mr.. Hatch is now considering.
The offer is a very tempting one as the
salary is much larger than his present
compensate and more in keeping with
the demands of his ability, but the duties,
while probably of more responsible and
exacting nature, are not so combining, and
would, should Mr.. Hatch accept them, be
more pleasant for him as he is at present
almost broken down as a result of close
application to work

the friends of public education and the
public generally. would regret ex-
ceedingly, any decision on Mr., Hatch's
part that would sever his connection with

ing of which he has been in such a great
part instrumental. twas largely through
