The arrangements for the excursion to

sumed definite form. A special train

placed at $3.50 and will be on sale from
today at Carse & Cos. shoe store, and
Charles Oswald's grocery. and can also

rs possible. AS soon as all the seats in
the care have been disposed of. all re-
naming tickets will be absolutely with
drawn from sale. In Peoria there will be
a reception by the local workmen a great
labor parade and demonstration will be

Work of wedding the street edges has
commenced, men now being at it near the

there will not be weed in Fort Madison
within few weeks time. They should
be kept constantly down and our streets
constantly graded; then our city's ap.

Charges Perjury.

The Fulton Journal is claiming that
there is lie out somewhere with regard
to the Modern Woodmen affairs. 1t saws
that DIR. McKinnie testified before the
master in chancery at Sterling on the
goth. that DR.. Ernest Mammen and John
A. Sterling. of Bloomington, had given
him permission to sign their names to the
sworn application that secured the now
famous Woodmen Injunction against the
meeting of the head camp at Des Moines.
The doctor is said to have testified that
Sterling gave-him consent in writing and
that Mammen telegraphed him. Then
the journal says that at the Des Moines
conference, August 10, both Mammen
and Sterling positively declared in the
presence OF the delegates, thst they never
signed the application for the Injunction
nor gave any person permission to do so
for them.

yITRIFlED BRICK.
Fresh Facts In Favor OF the Material
adopted by Rock Island as the
standard for Paving.


standard for Paving.
One of the latest converts to the idea
of vitrified brick as good material for
paving is the Economist. the weekly
financial. commercial and real estate
paper of Chicago. The Economist recites
the fact that after years of Improbable
experience with wood pavement. the city
of Chicago-the street traffic of which is
naturally heavier than any American city
except New York-has laid granite blocks
on all the principal streets in the busi-
ness district. 1t then says that while the
result as to durability and cost of main
tenance have been excellent, yet the cost,
noise and the slippery condition which
granite assumes when worn. are serious
objections to this pavement.
Then referring to the wide adoption
that Bloomington has used brick for
paving for the last fifteen years.
Decatur laid some in 1885 under five
year guarantee. and the report on this
pavement shows that in that time not q
dollar has been laid out for repairs, al
though the pavement has been exposed to
the heaviest traffic, and that guarantee
for twenty years would hsye been safe.
The advantages claimed for brick paving
are economy in construction, smoothness
of surface, comparative noiselessness, nc
slipping by horses. freedom from filth,
durability almost equal to that of gran
lite, and economy in repairs.
The Economist further says that the
question whether this material would
stand the extra heavy traffic of Chicago
has not been fully tested. although the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad
company some six months ago paved in
front of its Chicago freight depot with
vitrified brick. which. it is said, fails to
show any appreciable wear from the
heavy traffic at that point.
Tests made of specimens of this vtri-
fed brick manufactured in the west have
shown resistance of crushing strength
of from 900. 900 to 100000 pounds. An
other advantage is that the brick does no,
glase when worn, but remains rough or
the surface.
The heavy expense of keeping grave
or macadam road in repair on black prai
rie soil is so great that some papers. nota
bly, the Burlington Hasckeye and the Cour
Ter. of Evansville, Ind, seriously advo
/ cate the use of brick as a pavement fo
country roads. In the city of Evansville
Ind, the cost of materials and repairs or
the gravel roads amounted to $1,000
more than the first cost of them in per.
iod of fifteen yearO.
The growing importance of this move
ment is best shown by the fact that in the
last six months over 100000 has beer
invested in the west in the manufacture
of paving brick.

STICK TO THE RECORD.
An Evasive Reply Given by the Eigh-

teenth street Organ.
The plain facts set forth in last nights
ARGUS concerning the matter between the
late Mr.. p l.. Cable and Caroline Wald-
man, called forth clouded and bewild>
ering reply from the Union this morning.
That paper, as usual, avoided the issue.
Last Sunday it went out of its way to
hunt up damaging facts against Mr. Ca
Bile. and. as must have been expected, it
failed. AS nothing truthful of deroga-
tory nature could be found. lies were re-
sorted to. These lies were signed by
"One Who Knows" and it matters little
whether the signature was by some one
who wrote the libel in the Union Office or
by anyone else. Every imputation and
assertion in that malicious little squib
was proven to be false, and proven too
by the affidavit of one of the parties in
terested in the railroad accident, and yet
the contemplate talsitier on Eighteenth
street says that 1.-THE truth is substantial
~ as set forth in the UhOins explana.
tion." The man who wrote that got as
near the truth as he ever expects to get
by willful lying. He begs the question
by saying it was not Swedish widow
but German girl. as if that could make
any difference whatever.
Again, this bare-faced prevaricator,
when shown by affidavit that Mr.. Cable
generously handed the girl $500 in add
ton to the 81 600 already paid-out of
which $500 Mr.. Gest was not entitled TO
one cent either in law or equity-says
that the ARGUS shifts its ground to show
that the generous act was performed by
the present Mr.. Cables father. To discuss
any question with the Union one would
be obliged to shift his ground every mo-
ment in order to keep within range of the
characteristic vagaries of that irrespon>
sible sheet. But in this instance there
was no necessity of shifting ground ex-
cept by way of imitation. The Union
said. "Mr. Cable got the girl into his Of
T.
talking off Did it not attempt to make
the public believe it was Mr.. Ben T. Ca
BILE? And if not, why speak of the mat
ter at all? Surprising the present Mr..
Cables father had done precisely as the
Union charges him with. He had a per
feet right. legally and morally, to
treat any question of damages against
his road in manner most beft
ting its interests. And had it been
thought necessary or judicious to retain
the services of Mr.. Gest for the same pur-
pose that gentleman would gladly have
undertaken it. But whether the deceased
MIR. Cable was more or less just or gen.
erous in the matter cuts no figure here
That he did what was right and just and
generous, no one can deny, and with his
actions Mr.. B. T. Cable has nothing to
do.
When the Union mentions the name of
Mr.. Gable again it should specify which
one of the family is intended and not go
vapOring about in its lunatic way and
then when brought to task for its imbe.
cility and impertinence, cry out that some
one is taking the ground from under its
feet.
The Union never had any ground to
stand on.
