with a Crippled Hand He knocks
Dat w. R. Mohr In Throe Rounds
A Case or Cause and Effect.
Mai. j. M. Beardsley last evening re>
scented in q manner more forcible than
eloquent q reflection upon his reputation
by giving w. r. Mohr, local represen-
tative OF a collection agency, sound
thrashing that he will not soon forget,
and the said Mohr owes it wholly to the
intervention of Maj. Beardsley' s friends
that he escaped without ife long disfg-
urement. The episode occurred In front
of the Rock Island house. where shortly
after o'clock Mohr and II Dixon were
seated talking. Major Beardsley came up
from the postoffice and approaching Mr..
Mohr accused him of being instrumental
in having his name published among a
list of bad debtors, as "a man who could,
but would not" pay his bills. In the
same breath the major took occasion to
inform Mohr that while he did owe bills,
he was not dead beat, and bad never
refused to pay when he could. and that
if he (Mohr) would pay the amount he
owed him for professional services in de-
Tending his boy on charge OF stealing
and saving him from the penitentisry,
he would have enough to pay all his
debts. The major further informed Mohr
that he was in contemplate business and
he stated his opinion of the bad de bt
agent in even palmer language when the
latter attempted to rise, whereupon the
major hit him slap that caused him to
fall in such manner as to place Jimmie
Dixon in pretty uncomfortable quarters
for a moment. Mohr regsined his feet
and the sngered major seized him by the
collar and hoored him in an instant.
Twice this performance was repeated, the
major twice breaking away from friends,
who tried to restrain him and who were
obliged to make several attempts before
succeeding. At last the two were seps-
rated and each one went his way.
Mohr. whose business may be legitimate
enough, has made many enemies by his
indiscriminste manner of conducting it
in going about hunting up the names of
men who owe bills and sending them
threatening notices that unless the sc-
counts are settled in certain time their
names will be published as unreliable
debtors. Maj. Beardsley had just res
ceived a notice that his name had been
so circulated. when he met Mohr last
evening, and smarting with indignation
and anger he made the attack.

About STREET PAVING.

With the approach of the rainy season
some movement may be made toward paw
ing portion of the streets. Whenever
such movement shall be made, it should
be in harmony with well-matured plan
for permanent system hereafter. 1t is
believed that the city authorities are fully
alive to the necessities of the case. and
that what they decide upon will be
worthy of this thriving. growing city of
brilliant prospects.
The ultimate plan for paving the streets
must be with the best of material and in
the most permanent manner Ultimately
the streets must he paved with basalt
blocks laid in the most substantial man.
ner.
Bat at present, except to 8 limited ex-
tent, this is irnpracticable Some tempo
rary expedient must be adopted, looking to
the best of stone pavement as finality.
For temporary purposes the choice lies be-
tween planking and laying cedar blocks
In making this choice three considera-
tons should control-sound economy, con-
venient use, and regard for the public
health. AL OF these considerations point
TO planking as preferable to the use of the
cedar blocks. With heavy teams passing
over them the cedar blocks are depressed
irregularly, and in a short time the street
presents a rough uneven surface. which is
not observable with the longer bearings
and stringer supports OF the planking. As
consequence the cedar block pavement
requires more frequent repairing. and the
cost OF repairing it is necessarily greater
than that of repairing planking. In the
one case worn plank has but to be re-
moved and a new one substituted; in the
other case each block has to be taken I'd
snd the foundation re-halIasted.
The unvarying experience Of all cities
which have tried the cedar blocks goes To
prove that they are prolific breeders of dis
ease. They absorb and retain moisture.
and when struck by the rays OF the sun
emit mephitic gases. rank with the seeds
OF pestilenee. From sanitary point Of
view it were better 10 have the streets knee
deep Ia mud than To pave them with these
disease cedar block devices.
II is perfectly clear that the true policy is
to pave the streets in permanent manner
with stone blocks as far as practicable. and
10 plank for temporary use where IL Is not
possible 10 pave permanently at present.
