COLD WAVE COMING.
The First Radical Change of the
Season.

Flag.

That omen of cold weather. the black
Nag. made its appearance on the flagstaff
surmounting the ARGUS building at 10
o'clock this morning. The message came
from Observer Fitzgerald. ano the un>
welcome signal was fished out from the
bottom of the box of well caraphored.
moth proof winter garments, which
had been stored away In the attic since
last spring. Its appearance. az it again
caught the bretze, was a signal for com.
ments OF various natures. The first
man who saw it said he did not
believe there would be any cold
weather, that "Frz" had sim ply been
guaging the weather and bssing MS prog
nostications on the atmosphere that was
prevailing over the sections Of Bawkeye-
dom heretofore inhabitated by the sub
jects Of tine fast-fsding line of re publican
kings.
The street car drivers pulled their caps
over their ears and those on the open
ours shuddered as they glanced back over
their shoulders. while laborers working
in the vicinity in their shirt sleeves shlv-
cred involuntsriy as they looked up at
the signal.

likely to occur on very short notice. The
ARGUS will continue to hoist its signal of

THE FIRST FIRES.

Meeting.

They Are Burning In Iowa for Demo
cratic victory---saturday Nights
Meeting
The fires of democratic enthusiasm
over the triumph of Hon. Horace Boies
for governor, which are burning all over
Iowa. were kindled at Davenport Satur-
day night and the Democrat Gazette of
yesterday morning paints itself in pstri-
otto hues in celebration of the glorious
victory. A number of representative
democrats on this side of the river were
present. The Democrat Gazette says:
The people of Davenport have ratified
and rejoiced many times, but never be
fore was the natural impulse to give
thanks for blessing so widespread as it
has been since the dispatches brought the
news of the election of Horace Boies on
the 5th Of November. 1t was more than
a party triumph. 1t involves vastly more
than temporary success. 1t means q
radical change in the Legislation of the
state; a removal of burdens; revival of
moral and material prosperity. The
irresistible impulse was not born to die in
day. The more fully the victory is
realized in all its bearings the greater be-
came the desire to give thanks.
In answer to this spontaneous feeling
the people met last evening at the Turner
Grand opera house. The great auditor.

Of 10000, would have been better

and in other places. An hour before the
sssemblage was called to order the hesv>
ems were illuminated by fireworks dis
charged from the roof of the building
The windows were frightened by thous>
snds of candle flames. II was a brilliant
scene and was witnessed by great crowds.
There would have been miles of blazing
torches had the streets not been impass>
able almost from days OF rain.
Within the opera house it was human,

walls and festoons of tri colored hunts

ABOUT A TITLE.
A Misunderstandinga s TO Business
Firms Name Causes Trouble---An
Injunction

A MISUNDERSTANDING as TO Business
Firms Name Causes Trouble...An
Injunction.
Saturday evening Deputy Sheriff j.
Cavanaugh served on Messrs. W. L. As,
ter and Fred Jahns papers enjoining
them until further notice from transact
ing business under the firm title of As.
ter, Jshns & Baker. The hear,
ing on the application was set for
this morning before Judge Peasants, but
a postponement was taken until Wednes.
day morning.
The application for the injunction is
made by Willard Baker. whose name
heads the old firm, and who has third
place on the new firm. Tue partnership
of Willard Baker s. Co., according to Mr.
Baker. was formed five years ago, and
expired by limitation Sept. 18th last.
Since that time the copsrtners, Willard
Baker. w. L. Aster and Fred Jahns have
been negotiating among themselves for
closing up the business. but have been
unable to agree. In the meantime the firm
name has been changed without his ap-
proval. and be now seeks to enjoin them
from advertising name of which be is
not q member.
The side taken by Messrs. Aster s.
Jahns is that when the time came for the
old firm to disbsnd, they were anxious to
buy Mr.. Baker out, as both had more
financial interest in the firm than he, and
yet he had drawn more money out. But
he would not sell out, and could not buy;
he once did agree to buy the others cut,
but changed his mind and agreed to new
name. in which he was to take third
place, but he finally backed out of that,
too, and thus the present condition of
affairs.
The firm has been one of the most sue
cessful in the city and it is to be hoped
that the differences Will be amicably adj
justed to the satisfaction of all members.

Such are the almost Incredible re-.
suits reached at the close of the year
ending in 1881. It must be stated, too,
that since that date the yearly receipts
have.steadily increased until, at the OK
piration of the twelve months closing
with the commencement of this present
year, 1880, they reached the enormous
sum of $4,000, 900 francs. -
From the facts and figures which have
been laid before the reader it is easy to
realize the exact standing and condition
of Monaco as regards the gaming tables,
and to see that the power to abolish
them rests neither with the Prince Of
Monaco nor his government. The only
possible method to attain that end would
DO to indemnify the society, but mo-
ment's reflection will show what an
enormous and well-nigh impossible sum
they would be entitled to demand in
consideration of their twenty-five years
of lease which have yet to run.
The financial obligations of the vari-
GUS European states would not permit of
their sacrificing the sum which would
be necessary to achieve this end, and it
is to be feared that, however DESTROYS
the new Prince of Monaco may be to
break off his connection with the ad-
ministra tion of Monte Carlo, it is for
him, certainly at present, an inpossi-
bility.-Chicago Tribune.
