From the Washington Mirror,
There lives cut in Joe Cannon's S
district IN illinois an old farmer who
is a Jealous Republican, one of the
red hot partisan stripe. When he
heard of Cannon's defeat he said to
his wife, who is one Of those women
Who obey their lord and master
blindly:
MARY, pack up everything. I'm
going to move"
"Why?" asked Mary.
..Because, Joe Cannon Is beat and
/ won't live in Democratic dis
trict."
"Yery well,'' said Mary, with a
little resigned sigh.
Then the old man went to town to
sell his farm. There he heard all
the election news. He returned
home, and entering the house, said i:
"MaFY, you can quit packing up.

guilty TO murder in the second de-

sentenced to ten years in the penI-

ley is but 18 years of age. which to-
gether with the fact that he was in

Heaps Of Strange TlilgS
IN THIS WORLD.

1t is very strange that so many
manufacturers of clothing are dong
business for the fun of supplying
the retailers with goods at less than
cost, Cf you let the retailer tell it. }
They make. the best clothing sold,
and hand it over to the retailer for
less than the cloth cost, (if you lis.
ten to the retailers story,) Yet
these same manufacturers are get
ting rich at this business. "How
strange!" And again, these same
philanthropist retailers are giving
this same clothing away to the dear
people. tStill stranger!" If you
will read the advertising columns of
the papers through the country you
will come 10 the conclusion that nine
tenths Of the clothing manufacturing
establishments of the U. S. are de-
fnnct; yet we have not heard of a
single failure. They will mako n
suit of clothes that cost them $50 to
manufacture, then sell it to the re-
taller for SIS; then the retailer will
sell it to the dear people for $40, and
yet all are getting rich. "Thrice
strange!" We will not so far ques-
tiOn your good sense as to ask if you
believe these taaIesi be' We will pro-
ceed to tell you something of more
Importance. We buy our clothing
from live, energetic, progressive
clothing men, who guarantee tue fit,
fabrics workmanship and price of
every garment they sell US, and ne
in turn guarantee the same to our
trade. We don't want to bust the
houses we buy clothing of, nor bust
the trade; we sell clothing too. We
do fair, square and legitimate bus
iness. We benefit those whom we
trade With and benefit those who
trade with us. We are very particu-
lar about the fit OF our clothing. II
a suit does not fit you we will tell
you so. We frequently hear of peo
pie saying, 60 to Stephens & Tram
mel if you want to get perfect
fitting suit. And we see that our
efforts to please the people are ap-
preciated, our trade is increasing
every day, and we know that square
dealing, good goods and low prices
has the merit 10 win, and if you are
hunting for that KIND of d house
Stephens & Trammel above all 9TH
ers is the place for you to go. Their
house is chuck full of all kinds of
clothing, mems fine dress suits, bus
iDess suits. farmers every day suits,
fine overcoats, good, cheap substan-
tial every day oYer5oats, all at bot
tom prices; s pair of mems wooden
hose for 81, underwear In endless
variety; winter caps, winter gloves
and everything to make you COM
Portable and happy. We have just
received line of neck wear WHICH
rivals in teaaty anything we ever
saw, and at prices that will suit you.
Stephens & Trammel are becoming a
household word throughout this
county, and If you have not been
to see them you have failed to take
advantage of the golden opportuni-
ties presented to you. They will
give your moneys worth every time;
you can't pay too much, because
they only make one price to every
body, and reason will teach man
that this price must be the lowest,
and our success proves that it is,

A Liar From Detroit.
From the Detroit Free Press.

ItOlu tue Detroit FREE 1reSS.
A Detrolter who was in a collision
on the Baltimore & OHIO road two or
three weeks ago says he was sitting
just back of farmer and his wife.
The train was running so fast that
the couple were nervous and by and
by the woman turned about and in
quired:
Mister, do you think there is any
danger?"
"No, ma 'am-not IN the least" he
replied.
Five minutes later, tue speed hav-
ing perhaps increased a little, the
woman again turned with:
"Mister, where are you from?"
"DetroIt, ma am"
"And there is no dangrr?"
"None whatever.n
Ten seconds later came a grand
crash, and the coach reared up and
fell over. AS 1t went, with every
body shouting and screaming, the
voice OF the woman was heard above
everything, crying:
"Ohl William, what liar that
man from Detroit has turned out to

WASHINGTON and Oregon.

This new empire Of the North west
is attracting universal attention, and
the reason for this, Is the almost un-
limited resources that have recently
been opened, and the surprising
growth of this region. Large agricul-
tural areas; vast forests and immense
deposits of precious metals are to be
found in Oregon and Washington, and
by reason of the varied natural re-
sources Of the country this section
offers unequaled opportunities for the
investment OF capital and location of
industries that are not surpassed by
the older sections of the United
States. The Union Pacific on account
of It's fast time, through Pullman
sleePers and dining cars, free reclining
chair cars and free colonist sleepers
from the Missouri river, is conceded
to be the favonte route for persons
going to either Washington or Oregon

An Arternonn disturbance.

3. Henderson, of this city, and Frank
Robinson of Davenport. got into an alter
cation and scufile in the Rock Island
house saloon at 6 o'clock last evening,
but the intercession of friends prevented
a serious outcome. Manager Gaver. of
the hotel, induced the men to separate
and thus the disturbance was quelled. A
little while afterwards Robinson and John
McDarrah, of this city, got into fight.
which the Union says grew out OF an at
tie mpt made by NcDarrah to eXtort money
from Robinson under the pretense that
failure to comply would result in his
Q2obinson) being written up in the ARGUS
in connection with the previous fight
NcDarrah denies this charge, but if
he is guilty of it Robinson was not
only justified in striking him, but
should not let it stop there. There is a
remedy at law for such fraudulent prac
tees where attempted. The ARGUS has
no concern in any of the facts of yester>
DAYS alteration, but its editor has
tens to say that McDarrah has no con-
rection with the ARGUS in any capacity
and has never had. and if he is guilty as
charged, he not only merits the severes1
condemnation. but he has used the nams
of the ARGUS in a manner that will lead
| him into serious trouble if repeated Tit
ARGUS, as the public knows. does no
suppress any item of news under any con
alteration, much less permit q crimina
olackmail in its name.
