Rock ISLAND. Feb. % Editor ARGUS
Yesterday afternoon in one of the So
looms of the city. VIM. Glass. the police
man, while slightly under the influence CT
tangle'foot got into q controversy with 8
boy about Is years of age and wanted to
bet the young man IS that he had son
that could whip him, and telling the
young man that he need not be afraid Of
being arrested, as he would see that it
was all right. and if he was arrested
would pay his fine. The young man had
the sand, however, to tell the drunken
policeman that he could whip him or his
boy, and from these words both came
together, the boy getting the best of the
policeman and taking his club away from
him. Last evening he was in another
saloon offering TO back his dog against
any other mans dog in the city of Rock
leland.
What q model policeman this man
Glass is! And how many more like him
has the mayor of Rock Island on his list
waiting for positionsf This man was
recommended by Aid. Kennedy and l

more peace disturbers like this one wear

Wonder if the mayor will show the

The Latest Fa1.

Progressive ghost parties are the latest
society fad, and it is played something
like this: You invite party of friends
to your house, both ladies and gentlemen.
The guests change partners for supper by
the matching OF fancy paper caps. Al
ter supper the gentlemen are invited up.
stairs to await developments. When
they are again called to the parlors,
great surprise is in store for them, for
during their absence the ladies have
donned cambria Mosques and sheets, and
and look more like ghosts than the fair
ladies who had just partaken of supper
with them. Each lady is labeled with a
number, and beside each lady is vacant
chair, which is to be occupied by gen.
tleman. who is allowed a two minutes
conversation with his ghost-like partner,
and in that two minutes conversation he
is to make guess as to who his partner
is, and write her name and number on a
slip OF paper and then he is to move on
to the next lady until the circle of the
room is completed. The gentlemen who
guesses the largest number of names cor
rectly is awarded the head prize, while
the gentleman who guesses the least nun
Der gets the foot prize. This kind of q
performance creates no end of merriment
and if the ladies are careful in their dis
guises and change their voices. they can't
be re recognized by their own husbands.

THINGS POLITICAL.
Talk Of the Municipal Election
Already Heard.
A Republican once III oid,ur Comb,r..
taon Which Deaes the Party
The Outlook.

As each SUGGEST We day draws nearer the
time for the conventions which are TO
nominate candidates for city offices. the
discussion becomes more animated as to
possible and probable nominees. Thus
Tar the republican side has commanded
most OF the attention, owing to the COM
oinatlon which has been formed by Mays
or McConochie, City Clerk Koehler and
City Attorney Haas to defeat the indie
pendent movement led by Aid Schroeder.
The hight is an interesting one, as it IS
the fercest in the Sixth ward, where the
mayor and Aid. Schroeder reside. and
the friends Of both claim the
party majority in the ward.
All over the city republicans had looked
for change at the city building this
spring and many who had for years fond
~ nourished the ambition to receive the
nomination biennially accorded to Koehler
are to be disappointed if the combination
wins as also are those aspiring legal lum-
mares who talked their throats hosrse last
fail for Gest in order to have their vslor
recognized in the nomination for CITY az.
torney this spring. The encouragement
they received with the fall of Haas as
campaign manager has been cruelty
shattered by the McCopochie- Koehler-
Haas combination. Il was supposed thst
after Mr.. Haas ,smentsble failure last
fall that he was out OF politics, aud he
frankly confessed that he was through
with politics. But since those sorrowful
days, Mr. Haas has experienced wonder.
ful change Of front. The mayor has
been exerting his cunning tactics over
him and has won him to his standard.
The mayor was shrewd enough to know
that with Mr.. Schoeder as a candidate for
the nomination something must be done
to split the German vote and be therefor
conceived theidea of getting Koehler and
Haas into league with him. He had no
dif1culty whatever in bringing Koehler
around OF course and he soon persuaded
Haas. thus leaving Schroeder against the
held, and this is the situation today.
80 far democrats have given themselves
no unessiness as to nominations, being
fully satisfied that when the time comes.

tion will have no trouble in putting to

Ali in this pain-stricken world. why

the lower end of the chain is a strong
double catch hook. A diver is sent
down with each pontoon as it is lowered
to the position needed, and by descend
ing the ladder he is able to fix this catch
hook upon the hawser block or sfanchion
on the deck of the sunken vessel.
When a vessel is resting on the bottom
it always has a list to one side. The
plan adopted by the managers OF this
new system, is to lower two pontoons,
one at the bow and the other at the
Stern of the vessel, on the side to which
she is listed, and then pump out enough
water, supplying the space with air, to
right the vessel.
Then the other pontoons are lowered
and placed in position, two at the bow,
two at the stern, and two, four or more
amidships, as may be needed. Then
the pumping apparatus is set at work on
the wrecking tub, and it is claimed that
the water in the pontoons can be forced
out through the outlet at the bottom at
the rate of forty barrels a minute, and
that in eight minutes the sphere will be
filed with air and be floating on the sur
face of the water.
The wrecked vessel is not raised above
the water, but is brought near the sur.
face. In this manner the vessel is toweo
to the nearest port and placed In or!
dock.-Neu York Herald.

THE GRApE

In grating grapevines that are an inch
or more in diameter, cut them off two orr
three inches below the surface of the
ground, then insert the cion just as YOU
would in a branch of an apple tree of the,
same size. Wind with a piece of cord
or bass bark--no RAJ should be used
and after tying, draw the soil back, COW
erlng the stock and cion, leaving only
the upper bud on the latter exposed.
We prefer performing the operation as
early in the spring as possible, or as soon,
as the frost is out of the ground, and be-
fore the buds show any signs of growth.
Some vineyardists cut the cions in win
ter and store them in a cool place where
they will remain dormant until the vines,
have pushed some of their leaves, then
the cions are inserted as we have di-!
rected. We may say, however, that.
grating the grape is rarely a success ex-
cept when performed by those who have
had considerable experience in the pro-
.pagation of vines. Try it, and secure
the needed experience. american Agri!
