Police Points.

John Flynn and Dan Heating, the two
Africans who do some o. the specially
business in the Lilly Clay performance,
went into the alley back Of Dressen's ss>
loon on Second avenue after the show
last night to settle a little difference of
opinion. The police took care of them
until this morning. wien Magistrate
Wivill imposed fine of s. and costs
each.
Sarah Jane Remley entered proceedings
before Magistrate Wivill last evening
against Peter Peterson, an employe at the
lower saw mill, on the charge of bas-
tardy. The couple had had pretty
good undo rstanding for some time, but
Peterson deferred marriage on the ground
that his finances would not warrant the
increased responsibilities yet. When he
saw the warrant last evening, however,
he consented to the union without furth-
er delay, and it was contaminated by
Magistrate Wivill.

Practical PLAY.

A number of children down town have
adopted q means of amusement that is as
thoroughly practical auo will be about as
beneficial in results as any that children
usually hit upon. They have organized
q kindergarten of which Misses Dodie
Halves and Grace Know ton are the in
structOrs. They have daily sessions in a
room which Mrs. Knowl on has placed at
their dispose. in her house and where they
are permitted 10 pursue their studies
wholly undisturbed. The strictest disci.
pline is enforced and course of primary
study is taught every day. commencing
with the A. B. C's. Quite a large num-
Der of little folks attend. and it is safe
assertion that they take more interest in
the play school and actually learn more
than they would in many times the length
Of time consumed in the real school. A
tuition fee of one cent day is charged
and none of the parents of the scholars
are at all begrudging of the money thus
spent. The kindergarten had q picnic
on Mrs. Knowlton's lawn yesterday, and
a more well behaved and ladylike little
lot it would be difficult to get together.

A Sidewalk Dispufe

There is dispute between the city am
Capt. I. j. Robinson as to the grade OF
the new flagstone walk that is being con.
structed the second avenue and Six
teenth street sides of the Rock Islam
National bank building. The captain
wants the grade raised about five inches
while the mayor rightly holds that the
established grade must be maintained
The firm of Lsrkin X Stephens who have
the contract for laying the walk, are
holding to the grade line and are doing
the work under police surveillance,
though not themselves opposed to doing
so, and are not disposed to do otherwise.
There will be no interruption of the pres,
ent work until the corner in front of the
bank is rounded at any rate.

At the Theatre

The Lily Clay Gaiety company gave a
performance at Harper's theatre last
evening that must have been a disap-
pointment to many of the strictly mascu>
line audience, who expected something of
the vulgar order and received first-class
variety entertainment embracing many
new and novel features. and none that
were in the least offensive to modesty,
morality and good taste. 1t is surprising
that the company should feel itself called
upon TO put itself in such questionable
light by reason of Its advertisements in
order to draw a crowd.
The next entertainment will be the
production of Newton Beers Lost in
London" at Harper's theatre next Satur,
day night.

BIG DAMAG ss DEMANDED.

y. r. Atwilt. Of Davenport. to sue
Chas. Hanson rtr $4,000 for False
imprisonment.
The Davenport papers report this morn
ing that j. F. Anvil, of that city, had en-
tered suit in the Rock Island county cir
cult court yesterday for SIS. 900. No such
papers have as yet been filed with Circuit
Clerk Gamble, though they are being
prepared by McEni-y & McEniry. and it
is likely will be put on record yet this
afternoon. Hansen. readers of the
ARGUS will remember. had Atwill impris-
oned at Davenport last week on a charge
Of embezzlement and then permitted the
case to 60 by default by failing to appear
and prosecute.
The petition now of Atwill states that
the plaintiff is member of the Iowa bar
and was admitted eighteen years ago in
New York state. He practiced some in
the state and federal courts of that state
and then removed TO Texas. where he
practiced for about three years. He then
came to Rock Island. and in 1881 was
employed by Deere ~ Msnsur Co..
as assistant bookkeeper and collector,
and had charge of the shipping de-
partment, contracted the freight rates
with the railroad companies and the
boats. hired the men in the depart
ment and had full control. 10 1885 he
removed To Gilbert, in Scott county. and
settled on farm. where he resided a
year, after which he removed to Daven-
port, entering the Office of Grant & Grant,
where he remained until the summer of
1888. at which time ne opened an Office
for himself He states that he has been
married thirteen years and has child
ten years of age.
The plaintiff then details at length his
professional relations with the firm of APP
pelquist Il Hanson, and states that he
had paid Appleauist ia full the amount
of $40. which was due the firm as indg-
ment obtained by him (AtwilD as attor-
ney in the case of Hanson and Apple
quist VS.. Christian Lamp. assignee of the
Globe Plow works.
Atwill recites the Story of his arrest
last week upon information sworn out
by Hanson. charging him with embezzle>
ment gives the account and the result of
the hearing before the Justice of the peace
upon the failure of Hanson to appear to
prosecute, and then sts ties that his arrest
and imprisonment with tramps. thugs
and thieves was wilful, malicious and
without probable cause; that it was done
for the purpose of disgracing him; and
Hanson in so doing was guilty of express
malice. Atwill claims that he is man
of nervous temperament, fine sensibility
and physically weak. and by reason of his
arrest and imprisonment he suffered uns
told mental anguish and great bodily
suffering and inconvenience, and has been
damaged in his business reputation, in
jured mentally and physically.

Charley gets puzzled. but this morning be
was put 10 his wits end. but he got there
in the end, as usual. 1t was all over the

after trying almost every means of as.
certaining whether the combination
WAS out of whack, and finding the tum-
blers were all right. thought a gen.
eral tumbling of the entire mould
was what was needed, and the way he
pitched that great iron box about was a
caution. He displayed Herculean
strength, and Marshal Miller and the off
GERS that CHANGED to be in at that time,
fled from the trembling building in alarm,
but Fiebig tossed the safe about and
played foot ball with it until the door
finally flew open. Fiebig is bound to &C.

he can't in another. He is genius in
everything except politics.

A NIGHT SCHOOL.
The Likelihood OF One In Rock Island
l. ---Prestdeut ThOmus' Views.

The Likelihood OF One In Rock Island
| ---Pre sident Thomas Views.
The board of education at its last
meeting discussed at length the propriety
Of establishing night school in Rock
Island and it is very likely that the board
will establish one the coming winter
season. President Thomas. who has been
heartily in favor of such an institution
ever since becoming a member of the
board, said this morning when asked by
an ARGUS reporter as to the prospects OF
such move:
"Of course | cannot say anything
def mite yet. as the board has made no
formal decision. though the matter has
been discussed and the other members
like myself, are in favor of it. l don't
believe we can estimate the immense ben-
efits to the public and consequent good
to the city that would accrue from night
school. There are a great many poor
boys. yes and girls too, for that matter,
who are denied because they must work
TO support themselves and their families,
the privileges of a schooling. 1t is these
classes, of course, that we are after and
we feel that il we can accomplish our
purpose in this regard that we will be
doing something that will be appreciated
and that will rebound to the credit of our
educational system. We feel that we
must and ought to extend facilities to the
poor people as far and as fast as possi-
BILE, and the night school will be one of
the best ways that we know of doing
this"
THE intention of the board is to pro-
vide room in the old high school build.
ing now No. 4-as soon as our new No.
is completed so that we can relieve No
4. We think that one of our principals
can be given charge of 1t at reasonable
increase in salary and to have the SEES
sions. say two hours to two and half
each evening In the week, from the first
of November to the first of March"
In Davenport and in other cities round
about us. the night school has been for
years successful and well patronized
Institution. and Rock Island should and
will have one.
