Better study Local Geography

McConochie walked into blacksmith
shop on Forty first street the other day
and of man who was sweating over the
forge inquired;
Am / in Rock Island or Moline2"
you are in Rock Island SIR" replied
the blacksmith with a much greater indi-
cation of pride than McConochie takes in
the city.
"Oh! is that so. replied the "masheen"
nominee, well my name in McCono
chic"
"Ah?" responded the blacksmith, "do
you live in Rock Islard?"
why. of course do" was McCono-
chie's surprised reply; am the republic
can candidate for mayor and | want your
vote"
"Oh. you dor was the blacksmith
prompt retort. Wei. you 60 home and
study the geography Of this part of the
country few years, and then If you can
get the nomination in respectable man.
ner. come around and I'll talk to you"
The "masheen" candidate went on up
into the city of Moline begging for votes
and reached Riverside cemetery be-
fore old Sol hid his face on that day.

At the Theatre.

Mrs. Alice j. Shaw gave one OF her
novel and enjoyable entertainments be-
fore small sized but delighted audience
at Harper's theatre last night. OF Mrs.
shsw's whistling nothing can be said save
in praise. The high, bird like tones. fine
shading, thrilling and the accuracy with
which each note was given, was all that
could be desired In this peculiar school
of musical execution. The other menu
bers of the company were good. the en-
tire programme being one of the highest
order of merit.
The Germans, the originators of spec
tacular effects In Minis relsy, will appear
with their great com ,anY at Harper's
theatre next Monday e1ening.

THE "ARTFUL DODGER."
How McCOnochie straddled the 81
900 License QuestiOn-VOting on
Two Sides Of the Issue.

How McConochie straddled the 81
900 License QuestiOn-VOting on
Two Sides of the Issue.
The manner iu which Aid. McCono
CHE, the "msshe en-" candidate for the
may orally, first earned the title OF thu
''artful dodger" is a matter which, now
as be is posing rs a candidate for thu
mayorality OF the city. should interes
every citizen. The ARGUS has, hereto
fore. asserted that the liquor license
question should not be made an issue il
q political canvass. That is q matter
that should be left. wholly and entirely
with the city council. But the ma
sheen" and the ''masheen" organ have
sought to bring il out as one of the ques
tons which should affect the results Of
the pending nun icipal election. Whal
may be the idea of the "mssheen" il
pursuing such course is a matter bes
and only known to itse If; unless it be te
pose its candidate on either side of the
question, according to the sentiments OF
the people with whom he may come In
contact, in his pill grimage for votes.
lnasmuch there fore, ss the "masheen'
has sought to make political capital ou,
OF the license question. 1t will be inter
esting to note how McConochie lodged
the Issue, finally recording his vote as an
alderman. on both sides OF the PROPOSE
ton and thus earn ng from his friends the
title of "srtful dodger." At the meeting
OF the council January IL, the question
OF increasing the saloon license to 81 900
per annum was introduced, Aid. Hamp-
ton making proposition that the matter
be submitted to the people TO vote upon
at this spring election. The city attor
ney was asked II the question was one
that could be properly submitted to vote
and he decided thai the proper method
to pursue was to regulate the same by
ordinance.
SAio' AoulptOu lucieupOu OucItu u
resolution that the ordinance committee
be instructed to draw up an ordinance
making the saloon fcense 81 .000-and no
sooner was the mo ton made than Aid.
McConochie seconded it. Viva voce vote
was taken. McConochie voting In the
affirmative. The mayor being unable to
decide how the vote stood, called for the
ayes and noes. McConochie prot ested
against a recorded vote and argued in
favor OF having the motion Withdrawn.
The mayor declined to permit Aid
Hampton's motion to be Withdrawn and
1t being put on an aye and nay vote,
MoConochie Hoped completely over and
voted against his own motion, thereby
showing his cowaI dice in carrying out
his own convictions-his desire to have
liquor license increased to 81 600 per an
mum by the council and voting for it
himself, until he saw that his. action was
to be made public, when he placed him>
self on the other side from that which by
his own motion he had opportunity to
vote upon. Truly the "masheeu" title
of the 'srtful dodger" is we'll put in its
application to McConochie.
