The Kind Of Brick TO be specified-.-
What ID to be Done Next.
This afternoon Mayor McConochie,
City Attorney Haas and the street and
alley committee are in conference with
Atkinson & Olof at the city clerks Office
for the purpose Of designating which kind
of brick-Bloomington or Galesburg-
shall be used in the pavement of Second
avenue. City Attorney Haas has the
bonds and all other necessary documents
in readiness, so that there need be no de-
lay as far as the city snd the contractors
are concerned. Atkinson s. Olof may
order their material. engage their men
and get everything in readiness to pro-
coed with the work as soon as the county
court proceedings are attended to and
the assessment made.
The fact that we are to pave is one
that while affording much qualification
to all endowed with the spirit of progress,
has already advertised the city to a
greater degree than people would suppose
and we will no sooner get the pavement
down than we will realize the benefits of
the same.

High Art.

A great many readers of this paper will
no doubt study and wonder what is
meant by these two words. The meaning
is this, that the Golden Eagle clothing
store proudly claims to be the high art
clothiers of the three cities, or, in plain
language, to be always in the front with
the newest novelties and latest styles in
the clothing. hat or gentlemen's furnish
ing goods line.
Yesterday morning (after long delay
in importing) the Golden Eagle placed on
sale an elegant and beautiful line of gen.
tlemen's imported silk shirts, something
which cannot be found anywhere west OF
Chicago. and which must be seen to bt
appreciated. They have been marked
$3.50 each, which is an extremely low
price for this line of goods.
In connection with the above line o.
goods. they also received a consignment
of gentlemen's imported silk sashes anC
belts. These goods, although decided
novelty in this section of the country
are uni versallY worn throughout the cas-
and bid fair to catch on" here.
The Golden Eagle is also showing tn,
finest and cheapest line of gentlemen
h OF weather clothing ever brought to thi
city, embracing more novelties and newe
styles than can be had anywhere in tn,
three cities. Call and be convinced
Remember the place-Golden Eagl,

To.Morrow's school Election

Tomorrow occurs the election for
three members of the board of education.
two for the regular term of three years.
and one for the one year to fill out the
unexpired term of Mr.. j. n. Yore. Indi-
cations all point to the election of Capt.
G. W. Durham and DR.. G. g. Carter
for the long term. while the withdrawal
of W. L. Aster, and the Discrimination Of
any one to run for the one year term,
gives Mr.. Knowlton a certainty OF
election to the short term place on the
| board.
Mr.. G. J. Larkin has formally with.
drawn. and this leaves no contest for the
long term except as between Mr.. Sears
and Capt Durham. and in this the lat
ter's election is practically conceded. The
ARGUS reiterates that it would most
cheerfully and enthusiastically support
Mr.. Sears for the short term, and run
ming under such circumstances his elec-
ton would be certainty.

Other Side OF the Story.

At the time of the episode of the, Rev.
Hoover and the Corey boy last week the
Davenport DaUenport- Gazette was inclined
to be rather severe on the girl Daisy
Corey, and to sustain Mr.. Hoover's
course entirely. The ARGUS, while not
touching upon the character of the girl,
simply spoke of her course in this case
and reported Mr.. Hoover's actions as un.
becoming gentleman in his position,
and 1t is probable that that gentleman
did not better himself in public estima>
ton by some of the accusations and de,
nunciatioDs published over his signature
and at his request in the ARGUS and other
tri-clty papers of Saturday.
But the Democrats Gazette on SATURDAY.
made conservative investigation of the
case and as result, prints the following:
After careful investigation in which
several persons have testified who saw the
scene and heard the talk on the ferry boat
last Thursday afternoon, the Democrat
Gazette is convinced that the account pub.
lished was incomplete and unfair. The
young lady in question, Miss Corey, so far
as the evidence goes. acted in lady like
manner, clinging to her brother as she
naturally would. The third party in
terested, Rev. Geo. X. Hoover, used
language unbecoming gentleman.
Capt. Martens, of the night police says,
Mr.. Hoover was excited. VIM. Cam
eron, fireman of the ferry boat, says
Hoover acted as If he was crazy" Act
ing Captain Adams confirms this. and
several persons who were on the boat
add their voice in the same direction
To say the least, Mr.. Hoover over
stepped the bounds of propriety in his
words and conduct 1t is not at all
strange that the passengers knowing
nothing of the circumstances. except
what they heard and saw, should act as
they did in taking up collection for
Miss Corey, and offering to assist her.

POLICE POINTS.

Several Light Burglaries in Rock Isl-
and and One I'm Moitne-.-Peter Hev-
erlinx's Barber Light. Out.
Bungling burglars who are probably
just advancing from the next degree be-
low-the tramp species-hsve been at
work in Rock Island and Moline within
the past few days. but the police have
captured one bold, awkward fellow who
acknowledges himself tramp by PRO
fesh." He had already earned the more
desirable title Of burglar and sneak thief
when Officer 5chaab found him last
night in an alley in the center of
town and locked him up. He gave
his name as Thomas Daily. of No.
where. During the afternoon he had
| entered the house of Peter Ecker, of
1918 Fourth avenue, and was sneaking
off with go d-headed umbrella, when
he was detected, but while leaving the
umbrella. made good his escape. Later in
the day he entered the house Of Miss
Constance Mulack, on Second avenue,
between Nineteenth and Twentieth from
the rear, and got away with some silver
knives and good healthy dinner. The
police. however, secured the knives. but
not the dinner. But when he was fin
ally captured he had a pretty nice as
sortment of white fish, which await the
owner in the ice box at the Turner hal
saloon. where Marshal Miller sent them
in order that they might be kept.
Last night burglar entered the house
of Antonio Pa missanio, a banana seller
living on Twenty second street, and stole
$500 in hard earned and we'll saved
money. together with six gold rings, two
pair of earrings and several silk handker-
chiefs. This promoted tramp has not
yet been heard from.
Saturday afternoon about o'clock a
tramp rushed into August Colberg' s
second hand store in Moline, and picking
up several knives, rszors and revolvers
boarded csr OF hOck lslanu. L ne

Der region embraces about ne-twelfth
of its area. A large proportion of this
is young timber of different varieties,
chiefly oak, elm, maple and poplar, but
small bodies of burr oak may be seen in
several parts of the county, skirting the
rich prairies. There is also considera-
Bile timber along the Western Wapsi-
pinicon and in places along
THE OTHER STREAMS.
Dotted over the prairies are many
cultivated or ''artificial' groves of ever
greens, soft and hard maple, box elder,
walnIts and b~utternuts, ETC., some of
them furnishing a sufficient supply of
fuel for the thrifty owners, and all add
to the beauty of tile scenery and to the
comfort and pleasure of the prairie
homes and the herds and t1ocks. For
the culture of fruit and forest trees
there is a liberal exemption of taxation.
There are frequent exposures of rock
along nearly all the streams, furnishing
good quarries of excellent building
stone.
Howard county is quite well watered.

The pure running water of the nu-

the atmosphere salubrious at all sea-

scourge of some of the Eastern and
Southern states, the fever and ague, are
seldom, if ever known now in Howard
county.

no alkali, with a limestone and clay
