Police Points.

Chris. Olson, the inveterate drunk
was gathered in by Officer Brennan last
evening in sad state of helplessness and
decentralization. This morning Police
Judge Wivill looked seriously at Olson
as he emerged from his cell in the Armory
and thinking that he was in need of
further repose, committed him to the COM
forting mercies of Sheriff Silvis and
charged him $50 and costs in advance.
John Marley. a wearied commercial
traveller. was found reposing in door
way on Second avenue last evening by
Marshal Miller and Officer Kramer. He
was given softer couch at the Armony
and this morning fined SIS and costs.
He paid and left the city.

among the fashionable ladies of this city,
who say that she trims hats and bonnets
simply elegant.
Business is picking up on the Rock
Island g. Milan street railway. With
warm weather the watch tower becomes
the popular rendezvous for picnic parties
and pleasure seekers.
The Moline board Of education has ap-
pointed Miss F. E. Stratford principal
OF building No. Q, at a salary of 81, 900
year, in place of Principal Bishop. who
comes to Rock Island.
Agent Cook and the boys about the c.,
r. l. & P. passenger depot. have been
ordered to don regulation white caps,
similar to those worn by Pullman con-
ductors, the first of the month.
Collins Bros, the contractors and
builders, have moved their shop into the
rink building, on Sixteenth street and
Fifth avenue. where they will be ready
to receive orders for all kinds of carpen-
ter work.
The old club rooms of the republican
csmpsigners on Eighteenth street are
being utilized just now for the manufac-
ture of boats to convey Boss Wells and
his crew up Salt river just four years
hence. Good idea.
Edwin Warren. the comedian, seems to
be playing under an evil genius. There
was very light audience at his benefit
last night, though with the assistance of
the Rock Island minstrels, he gave a
clever entertainment.
Mr.. Alexander Steel arrived from
Wichita this morning for brief sojourn
among old friends in the city. When he
reads in tonights ARGUS what Rock ISL
and is doing for itself this year, he will
wish he was back here to stay.
Mr.. A. r. Stoddard, late of Hampton,
has been appointed postmaster at Brisr
Bluff, Henry county. where he has store
and large coal interests. Stoddsrd is one
of the very few democrats who will be
appointed to Office under the Harrison
regime.
Elk Circuit Clerk Bowman arrived
home this afternoon and was sent for by
Sheriff Silvis, who informed him that he
had been indicted for misfeasance in
Office. Mr.. Bowman promptly gave
bonds for appearance when wanted, in
the sum of 81 900.
A young engineer. weight eleven
pounds, arrived at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. F. W. Means, on Moline avenue,
this morning. Means has to count five
heads now when he gets them in line for
roll call before going out on the road, but
it Is with wonderfully self-satisied air
that he checks up the new one. =.

linton City special says: Corporal Tanner,
being asked about report that lot of Gen.
Blacks political correspondence had fallen
into his hands, said:
Politically I am an enemy of Gen Black,
but personally we are friends. Hence want
to deny absolutely the story that certain per-
sonal letters, written TO him by special pen
sion examiners, are in my possession. When
this story was first related to me called Mr..
Brock into my office and questioned him on
the subject. He replied that such state
ment was a fabrication out of whole cloth.
No such confidential political letters exist,
according to my knowledge and information,
which is derived from a careful investiga-

PHILADELPHIA, May is Postmaster Gem
eral Wanamaker addressed over 5000 of his

partment of the store

Among other things Mr.. Wanamaker said:
1.-THE sum paid out in monthly payments to
sales-people over and above regular salaries
was $50, 1858. 80 With what has been already
paid and what shall be paid tonight there
will be added SAG, 0sa. 20, making a total of
$l04, 3455s Last years distribution was
