One Was Blind and the ether Deaf.

4 peculiar as well AZ amusing incident
occurred authsxFnit stand which is stu
ated in The arcade leading TO the Union de-
pot the other day.
The man who guards the peanuts and
barriers with travellers for gold is stone
blind. He generally has somebody with
him, but on this particular day he was
alone.
a strange looking old fellow limped along
to the stand, and taking out pad and pen
ell scrubbed something upon it and start
ed TO hand it to the fruit man. The fruit
vender did not seem 20 notice him, and the
old fellow jabbed his thumb in his ribs sew
eral times to attract his attention.
Get out" howled the blind man.
Somebody take him awayl'
Again the old man punched him in the
ribs, and again the blind man shook him
off and howled.
The little old man angrily pointed to the
writing on the pad, and had just started to
punch the fruit seller third time to get
his attention when a humpbacked boot
black came into the arcade.
whats the natter" he inquired of the
olind man.
Take him away said that parsonage.
The beotblack took the pad from the
little old man and read: Pm deaf. Give
me dozen oranges. Albany Argus.

sible. II is not known with what road
Mr.. Truesdale will be associated here
after, but is supposed he has received
position of considerable Importance in
the service of the Rock Island, and that
he will move from Minneapolis to
Chicago. The Minneapolis Trl-
oune devDtes a column and
half to Mr.. Truesdale's retirement
from tie Minneapolis & ST Louis, and
says Minneapolis IS soon to lose one of
her best and most respected citizens, a
man honored by all for his splendid
ability and integrity. Railroad circles lose
a man ackno Tledged to be experienced
in every department of that complics ted
business and possessing rare ability aud

notice of Mr.. Truesdale and his

the fact that he has time and agaia re.

BRICK PAVING PROGRESS
West on Second Avenue and East on
Fourth Avenue.

SUI gesrion-Market square.

Brick paving is progressing nicely in
Rock Island in all directions.
Ga lower Second avenue, the Rockford
Construction company has completed two
blocks and half below Fourteenth, in.
Guiding the space between the car tracks
and reached the end of the double. The
company IS doing beautiful JOB and the
Rock Island brick used is showing up
nicely. Without the intervention of
something at present unforeseen. three
weeks will witness the completion of the
the contract.
On Fourth avenue east of Twentieth,
Edwards & Walsh are making rapid head
way with the excavation and curbing
Already the entire street for two blocks
has been excavated with the exception of
the street car tracks, and the delay in this
particular is occasioned by the trouble in
getting ties, the company having realized
the necessity of doubling the number put
in when the track was originally laid. A
block of curling has been put in and it is
understood that as soon as an intersec-
ton is finished in Davenport, the firm
will put on force of men in Rock Island
that will rush the paving at the rate of a
block and half week. Rock Island is
| looking for great things from Edwards s
Walsh, and the indications are that the
city is not to be disappointed.
Already there are so car loads of paw
ing brick and 40 of curling on hand. so
that there is no prospect of delay because
Of material.
In eXcayating between the street car
tracks this morning a number of the
| ground wires of the electric street railway
syndicate we're cut by the pillow share. but
not enough to interfere With the running
of cars. The street car people will be
apt to hold somebody for damages
! however
| The suggestion is made that when the
Moline line is reached early next spring
in the paving of Moline avenue, and the
pavement of that city joined, the two
cities unite in a suitable demonstration,
| aud put in silver brick. The idea will
probably meet with favor in both cities.
THE ARGUS hopes so, as it would be one
more link in the chain which is drawing
the two cities nearer together and hasten
lag the day of con solidstion.
The council, it is very likely, will at its
next meeting advertise for bids for the
paving of Market square, so that they
may be received at the meeting folio wing
and the work done this summer. All the
preliminaries have been attended 70.

We have jus, received the sad news
Of the death OF mn old pioneer, w. j.
Hanks, who died ut the Wells, Elko
county, yesterday, says the Silver State
of Monday. The cause of his death was
blood poisoning. 1t occurred while
Mr.. Hanks was repairing fence and
FIR the purpose used some rawhide
taken from IN animal that died last
winter. He had scratched his hand
before handling the rawhide and
blood poison set in. Mr.. Hanks was
in the neighbood of So years of age.
and an old resident of Elko county.
He represented that county in the
Legislature two terms. The more you
know of Hanks the more you knew to
admire. His friend, Bob Hamil, was
at his side when he cancelled his in
debtedness with his maker. Elko
county has one good soul less to-day.
Peace TO his ashes.
Mr. Hanks was we'll and favorably
known To many people in Eastern
White Pine. who will sincerely regret

Good Place for Ghost DANCES.

The effect of the Indian ghost
dances is becoming apparent in the
Centr al and Eastern part of the State.
The Central Nevadan says: Battle
Mountain contains number of hunt
ed houses. To which effect the occu-
pants of the haunted houses will
swear. Unearthly sounds are heard
in the bewitching hours of night
when ghosts reyel through the streets,
murmurs issue from the wells and
pandamonium reigus. The Indians
have transferred their ghost dance
fom Deeth 10 Battle Mountain, as
being the more appropriate place.
