n Dastardly Attack.

The Free Lance, a temperance and
profcssedly religious paper, published
at Reno, makes Il dirty and most uu-
warrantable fling Mt Postmaster
Smith, of Elko. Mr.. Smith has lived
in this world considerably more than
threcscore years and ten, and the
only attack upon his character, en-
cept 10y the Reverend" editor Of the
Free Lance, that VIC ever heard OF
was made by the equally reverend G..
W. James of ~unsavory memory. When
Mr.. Smith was Postmaster at Decth,
the fellow James wrote n parcel of
lies concerning him to Senator Fair,
asking his removal and the appoint
ment OF an individual who was posing
in that section rs Il preacher, but who
it wus afterwards ascertained was n
tinhorn gambler, n biglmist and n
thief. James made unauthorized use
OF this scribe's name in his letter to
Fair in confirmation OF the false
hoods, and afterwards ienicd that he
had ever done So until confronted with
the letter itself over his own sigma
ture. II his reverend assailants, ut
the old gcntleman's age, can look

The Day Of Doom.

This is the day set apart by the
bareheaded bycicle blk for the de-
struction of Oakland, San Francisco
and other cities. Many foolish pei
sons were deceived by the alleged
prophet" and induced to "hec to the
mountains" to escape the impending
calamity. So sure we're some OF the
followers Of the fanatical Mrs. Wood
worth Of the impending doom that
they sacrificed their property in order
to tiy TO a place of safety. How un.
utterably silly they will feel when to-
morrow's sun rises on the doomed
cities and finds them undisturbed by
the mighty tidal wave which failed
to come at the bidding OF n religious
crank. Such idiots are entitled to no
sympathy from the public, and when
they sneak back to their former
homes they will be greeted by the
jeers OF those who we're too intelligent
to be moved by the warnings OF n
weak minded enthusiast who was in
cited to prophesy by n fanatical
woman.

Elk Senator Ainsworth. Mayor Nc
Conochie and Fred Haas, of Rock Island.
and Mr.. Wylie, of Davenport, called on
Secretary Proctor this morning to see
what could be done towards establishing
gun foundry on the arsenal grounds
The secretary of war was we'll disposed
toward the idea, and gave the delegation
long interview. He had not received
the report which Col. Whittemore had
been directed to make, and would
necessarily be governed somewhat
by that. The secretary evident
" looked upon the subject as
one which would receive congress
sionsl sanction if any positive steps we're
taken by the department. An estimate
of 81 ,000. 900 has been made for the arse
nal. and if this Is all that is appropriated
the secretary is of the opinion that the
money should be spent on the arsenal. as
the sum would not justify beginning
work on gun foundry; but the project
of An ordnance factory in the Mississippi
valley commended itself to his judgment.
and the visitors feel assured that the in
f1uence of the secretary of war will not he
against them Az s5on as the reports are |
received from the officer at Rock Island, |
The senators and representatives for iii,

posed Change In the Tram Running
servlceson the Rock lslana Road.

New Rumors Concerning the Pro-
posed Change In the Tram Running
servIceson the Rock lslana Road.
The fact that the Rock Island road is
soon to inaugurate change in the run
ming of its freight trains on the Illinois
division which is to work benefit to
Rock Island as the ARGUS explained
some time ago, has given rise to many
rumors. one of which promises so much
of detrimeut to Rock Island. had it
foundation in fact. that il is really sensa-
tional 1t is TO the effect that the G r
l. & P. is soon TO double track its Iowa
division west from Davenport to Dies
Moines the same as the Illinois division,
and run It's freight crews through from
Chicago to Des Moines without change.
Such plan would take great MANY
families from Rock Island, who reside
here in consequence of the present divis-
ion terminus. but the consequences of the
most diligeat investigation, indicate that
there is not much danger of such disaster.
The best time that passenger trains can
make between Chicago and Des Mones
is nearly twelve hours. and the fast
freights can't do better than eighteen,
while the ordinary running time would
take twenty four.
1t may be that the Rock Island has an
idea of running its crews from Chicago
to Des Moines each way, and turning
them b ok either way as soon as they
reach here This would take tie homes
OF the men from Rock Island, and Wig
orous protest that would mean something
would be heard from Rock Island. that
the c., R l & p. would find it worth
while to heed, but 1t is hoped that no
such plan is seriously contemplated.
1t is quite probable, though, that the
freight train crews will soon be running |
through between Chicago and Rock Is
land, instead of changing at Peru. but
this change will be advantageous to the |
city, as it will bring more crews here. |
Changes are also talked of in the psssen-
ger service, but they will not affect Rock |
Island in the light of misfortune.
