THE TOWN SITE CRAZE.

There is just now mania for town
building which, if not checked in
time, will prove very destructive to the
citizens of the Quapaw agency. The
scheme first originated in the mind Of
WIN. Labedie, Esq, who incorporated
the town of Charlottesville on Tar
creek. Mr.. Labadie's success was SO
sudden-having sold 80 lots in so days
that party of gentlemen prepared
bill aud pushed It through congress
giving them a town site right, also on
Tar creek and within stones throw
of Labedie's town, and now comes
James Moore and James Palmer with
q new town site near the big sulphur
springs. 1t will be called Jimtown In
honor of tho two proprietors and so
far as location and general surround
ings are concerned, is ahead of all
Others. J. p. McNaughton and sever
al other parties are prepared to have
town sites laid out and in short time
each man in the nation will have
blooming, prosperous, thriving town
on his own plantation. 1t was report
ed that AL. Dively would lay out the
whole OF his pasture in town sites, but
this is a mistake. AL. has but little
faith in town sites, but will do all in
his power to help them out.
We wish our town site friends every
success aud we believe they are on the
high road TO prosperity. What mat
tiers it whether crops are good or bad
so long as your farm is laid off in
beautiful city lots? In order to raise
grain you would have TO toll and
sweat and perhaps then raise only a
measley lot of truck aud find no mar
ket for it, but with good town site
OH Tar creek and star route, or one
eyed mule, mail line twice week,
what more could you desire? These
Kansas farmers may think they feel
good to look over their fields of golden
grain, but if you want to see supreme
happiness go TO the territory town
site owner and watch with what joy
and satisfaction he gazes over his
magnificent farm all staked off in city
lots and waiting for buyers. And
there can be no doubt that buyers will
come. 1t is true there are no railroads,
schools, churches, street cars, hotels or
even houses in most Of these towns,
but then they have the star route mail
line twice a week and a man ought
not 10 want the earth, and if he is the
owner of one o. two lots on Tar creek
what more should he ask tor?
Mr.. Labedie informs us that in an-
other week he will have newspaper,
national bank, Touring mill and car
wheel mandatory. He says there is
an immense water power OH Tar creek,
but as il only holds out for few days
in the spring il will not be utilized
right away. There seems TO he some
difficulty between Mr.. Labedie and
some of the adjoining towns, as IL Is
almost impossible to tell where one
town commences AND another leaves
of but this will not interfere with the
sale of lots as deeds are made To cover
any niece of ground in the territory
aud as soon as sufficient money can be
raised each town will put up neat
barb wire fence and keep out iutrud-
ers.
We would like to say good deal
more In this connection but these
town sites are getting so thick and the
subject is so pCrplexing that we will
defer saying anything further for the
present. Far COSTRIBUToR.

Alarge audience greeted Miss Davis
at the opera house last Friday evening
In. two parts-"Aux Italians" and
"The Chariot race" Miss Davis exhib-
tied admirable and yet totally differ
ent qualities as an elocutionist IL
the former she exhibited an unusual
power of expressing pathos without
aflectation--a faculty not common
among professionals. In the latter
was displayed a spirit and power Of
action that was infectious in high
degree, and there cannot be better
test of general effectiveness in such
part than this.-LincOln Beacon.

Keep at it. The man who takes
hold and holds on is the man who gets
there in this life. There is nothing
truer than that the man who is "full

a man who never succeeds. But the
man who works steadily aud manages
wisely is sure tO be comfortable in this

The Adam renaugh ShoW,

The great Forepaugh show was founded
by Adam Forepaugh and his name is as
firmly associated with it as that of Horace
Greedy, who established the New York
Tribune, is with the Journal which he
conducted for so many years.
The name Of "Forepaugh" is a house
hold word, from ocean TO ocean, from
border to border. Il has always been q
synonym of all that was meritorious in
the show world. 1t is a priceless trade
mark that has never been lessened in
value by chicanery. 1t has but one trans
lation. 1t means a good show-pure,
clean and respectable. For almost 80
years it has trsversed thousands upon
thousands of miles-its aim to instruct as
well as to smuse--other idols of the
spaug,ed world have risen to fall: but
the great, the grand old Forepsugh show
has outlved them eli. 1t has been truly
Survival Of the fittest." 1t was stall
wart in our fathers days. 1t is a very
giant now, overtovering. all powerful,
larger, more attract ng. better than ever
before during its ma-honored existence.
"Old friends sre the best" Character
and reputation are not gained in q day,
but must grow. The past Of the Adam
Forepaugh Show opens warrant for its
future. and it csn well afford to stand
upon its merits and its unsssailable rec
ord.
The newcomer is but an experiment,
the greed of gain may inspire exaggera
ton. pledges may be kept, and they may
not, envy may engender Islander; but an
existance of more than a quarter OF q
century, has proven to the public that
the great Torepsugh Show is truthfully
advertised Exhibition, and that it Away
fills the bill
Mushroom concerns with mercenaIy
ends may assault the old monarch of
amusement enterprises; but it is too sure
of public favor too firm in the hearts of
the people to fear the result.
The management CT the Forepsugh
Show understood that energy and enter
prise, not ease. won the day. Therefore
no expense is too large. no risk too great
for it to assume. 1t is worthy the patro-
mage of the entire community everv-
where. and when its neutrality-suspicious.
are reared here on Thursday, July IA, it
is safe 10 predict an immense attendance.

TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

The Morning Papers Misrepfesen:a-
tion and the Correct Facts in the
case as shown by the Davenport
Democrat
The Davenport Democrat of Friday
contains the following:
The meanest things in the whole arti-
Gle of the sDemocrat are its personal
filings at Capt. Robinson. The Democrat
states: Capt. T. j. Robinson. who in
vited himself to be present" etc. The
statement is false. Mr. Tillinghest. of
the Democrat, invited him to go to the
meeting, and assured him he would be
fairly heard if he desired to speak"
The foregoing appeared in the Rock
Island Union of Wednesday morning. 1t
is an attempt to criticise the report of the
Davenport Business Mems association
meeting given in tie columns of this
paper Tuesday morning and also in the
evening edition of th 1t day. The Union s
stupid slur would have been corrected
earlier had it not escaped notice.
The statement that Mr.. TIllinghsst in
vited Capt Robinson to attend the meet.
ing on Monday even ng has not one grain
of truth to rest on. Fifteen minutes be-
fore the time of holding the special meet
ing of the Business Mems association
Capt. Robinson and Congressman Gest
entered the business office of the Demo-
crat. Cabt. Robinson asked if he could
attend the meeting. In reply Mr.. Till
inghsst said substantially this, and wit
uesses fortunately heard it
The meeting tonight is specially called
to consider the delay in beginning work
on the Hennepin canal. 1t will be at e.
tended by members of the association.
If you 90 to the rooms you probably will
not be kicked out TheE,only specially
invited person is Capt. Wheeler. the as
sistant engineer"
Congressman Gsst at once turned to
go home. He said the meeting was no
place for him and he would not attend it.
Capt. Robinson urged him to go to the
meeting second time. but Mr.. Gest de-
clined. Then. Capt. Robinson said: 81
am going to that meeting il have to go
alone"
W. c. Wadsworth stood on the side-
walk in front Of the Democrat building,
and Capt. Robinson asked him for an in 9.

worth answered that he had no right to
take any outsider to the rooms of the
Business Mems association at that time
Mr.. Tillinghast gave Capt. Robinson
no assurance of hearing. whatever, and
he is prepared to prove it. He left Capt.

APainfui Accident.

S. D. Perry, pressmsn in thu ARGUS
Office, met with a painful accident Friday
evening. He was in the act of reaching
under the paper folder attached to the
press, to get some of the edges" cut
from the paper as it was folded. when the
cloth of his shirt caught between pair
of cogs and dragged him into the machine
with such force as to stop not only tie
folder but the press and electric dynamo
furnishing the power. As soon as pos
sible he twas released from his position.
and his left arm was found to be severely
lscersted, just above the elbow. DR..
Craig was summoned and dressed the
wounded arm, taking several stitches. the
sufferer bearing the operation with re-
markable igrit. While the wound was
such as to entail great suffering, it is not
likely that it will result seriously, al
though Mr.. Perry will always have scar
on the part of the arm injured.
Mr.. Perry moved his family from
Bushnell recently. and is comfortably
domiciled at 513 Fourteenth street, he
having accepted position as pressman
on the ARGUS The Bushnell Record in
noting his departure, speaks very COM
plimentarily of his skill and experience as
pressman. and of his steady indus
trious habits.
