WHEN David Darrah, of this city, was
defeated, Robert Meyer, the Democratic
candidate for Clerk of the Court, got off
a terrible racket in the columns of the
Gazette about wonderful dream he had
the night before the election. "He was
wandering in a graveyard in which there
were none but political remains inferred,
and he noticed large handsome slab
upon which was inscribed the name of
Mr. Darrah." Say, Bobby, have you had
any dreams since the last election in
which you noticed any monuments with
this inscription on: For Clerk of the
Court, Robert c. Meyer; died November
5th; immediate cause of his death, lack
of Republican votes .'-Bellaire Tribune.

On last Thursday an attempt was made
to wreck the Wheeling Express, No. 1, on
the c., L. & w. at bridge near Freeport.
A wood-chopper who was working near
the railroad in going after drink noticed
cross tie placed across the track and
tied with rope. Knowing that the pas
senger train was due he started out to
flag it and succeeded in doing so. The
train was running at high rate of speed
and had it struck the obstruction fright
full catastrophe would have resulted
The obstruction was placed on cnrve
and could not have been seen by the en-
gineer in time to stop the train. This is
the third time such an attempt has been
made in that locality.

Editor ARGUS:
Rock ISLAND. H., Jan. 81 The i'm
preston is being conveyed by editorials
and communications appearing In your
paper that because the clergy of this city
are opposed to charity ball, they are
opposed to ST. Luke's hospital. This
impression is to mt, unfounded and I'M
fair. We preach a gospel of charity.
Our churches practice 1t to an extent the
general public knows nothing of. The
benevolent work of the Broadway
church alone amounted last year, as the
published reports of the church show. to
81 254; most of which was expended
here at home
Other churches, doubt not, have done
as we'll. But we cannot do the work
which the hospital does. We cannot
provide home for the sick or injured
stranger. Therefore we need the hos>
pitsl We cannot as community afford
to let it go down or want for means. II
ought to be lifted above all catch penny
and questionable methods. And in order
that 1t may be. and that l may for one,
prove that while opposed to a charity
ball, am not opposed to the hospital,
make the following propositions:
First. l will be one of two hundred
persons to give SEQ toward an endow
ment fund for St Luke's hospital; or
| will be one of two hundred persons to
pay. until further notice. an annual subs
scription of S. toward the support of st
Luke's hospital.
These offers are good for acceptance
for thirty days. and for completion in
sixty days from Feb. 1
The conditions of the first offer are
that all subscriptions shall be cash or
note with seven per cent interest.

Female MinstreIs

Duncan Clark's female minstrels and
Arabian Nights troupe appears at Har>
per's theatre on Saturday evening of this
week. The Louisville Journal says:
Duncan Clsrk's lady mnstrels played
last night TO perhaps the largest house
that any company of this kind has eyer
drawn in this city. The lawmakers
were well represented and considerable
merriment was had as they arrived and
took seats in the front row. The com
pany was very much as the audience ex-
pected and to those who enjoy such, it
was decided treat. The clog dancing
and songs by the we'll known comedian,
Billy Lee, was one of its most pleasing
features. also the military drill by ten of
the young ladies in tights with Pearl
May as commander, was simply grand.
The statuary scenes were beautiful and
had striking effect.

NOrth--ExcellenI Prospects for a
Busy season.
For some weeks past there have been
discouraging reports received from the
pineries, TO the effect that there would be
u scaut supply of logs for the mills next
summer because of no snow. The Min
neapolis Lumbe,man. the authority on
saw milling in the northwest, in the issue
of Jan. 25, contains the following:
The past two weeks have offered ideal
conditions for putting logs on the bank,
with the exception, perhaps, that little
more snow might have been welcome in
some localities. But the general condi-
tons have been above the average.
W. A. Remick, of the Shell Lake and
Barronnett Lumber Co, made little
trip recently to several points in Nebras>
ka. He says: II saw good many of the
yards and saw men who run systems of
yards all over the state. From what |
saw and from what these parties told
me, am convinced that the stocks are
very low. They are much lower than
the dealers themselves intended them
to be. The stocks were not very heavy
in the fall and the open winter has served
to lower them much more than would
naturally have been the case The dealers
have not bought any in the face of this
because they expected that every week
would see the end of the mild weather
Collections in the country have been
rather slow, but there is good del of
activity in the hog market just now aud

excellent for heavy spring trade"
Since the rain of last week, Black
river lcggers have had everything their

not stopped even by the rain, while the

Mayor Gobble and D. Hayes arrived
home this morning from Dubuque, where
they have been investigating the famous
high bridge erected at that point, which
WAS completed last year. They are armed
with maps, diagrams. estimates. plans
and figures of the Dubuque bridge They
talked with the merchants and business
men and learned many interesting facts,
such as the doubling of the over>river
traffic. the immense increase in the holi
day business. etc. The gentlemen are
also familiar with Dubuque's plan of
raising the money for the bridge, as well
as other no less important details Incl
dent to its construction. Messrs. HAYES
and Gobble found that Dubuque people
thought bridge at Muscatine would be.

profitable than Dubuque, as a much bet

ARGUS has been advised through num-
Der of telepho mic messages of the forma-

was either abruptly broken or the answer
was "never mind about that"
The same has been the case with one

OF one Of the Moline journals returned
from dinner today, he found on his desk
