The viaducf.

The plans for the Rock Island vIaduct
nave been returned to Capt. Lyons by
Col. Flagler, chief of ordnance, with his
approval, the alterations at the present
slough bridge being that the span at the
north end is to be raised three feet at the
south end. the second span six feet, the
third span nine feet and the fourth span
10 feet each at the south end,
making the grade over the bridge
to the viaduct the same as the embank :
ment now is. The viaduct proper will be
164 feet above the railroad track instead
of 10 feet, making the grade to
Third avenue much less than it has been.
Capt. Lyon expressed his opinion to
Mayor Nice onocbie and Fred Hass this
afternoon that the viaduct would be CON-
pleted and ready for use in 100 days from
now. Capt. Lyon also stated that Sthe
Rock Island bridge would not be closed

TeehnicaIities and Personal Prefer
tnees Not to stand in the Way of a
tsreat Project.
The Davenport Democrat of this morn
ing says editoually:
Hennepin is all right again. There was
little formahty in the way but it was
nothing more, and it has been brushed
aside. Gov. Fifer, of Illinois. called the
attention of the legislature to the custom
Of the government in requiring the state
to give its assent TO the purchase of land
through condem nation or otherwise. a
resolution covering the case was adopted
By both houses promptly, and it is now
believed that the lest technically has
been taken out of the way.
The telegraph brings practically some
information as far as the removal of tech
nicalities are concerned. 1t is not withs
out the pale Of possibility, however, that
ignorance and neglect of these little for
nalities at Springfield might have ieopar.
died the entire canal project. Neither is
il unreasonable to say that personal pre-
ferences have manifested themselves as
to the route and while the line adopted as
the most practicable may have caused
considerable disappointment, and too,
notwithstanding that there are many who
affirm that it is not as good route for
Rock Island as the one on the north side,
these merely local feelings should not be
permitted to endanger delay in
getting the measure through. For
in danger is delay and nothing
but the immense general import.
ance of the canal to the entire country
should actuate those who are working for
lis success. The canal is above local
interests; it is of more than local impor-
lance. It is q measure which looks 10
the best interests of the entire northwest
and of the entire country. 1t has been
| labored for as such, it has been counte-
nanced by congress as such and should
be built as such. No delay of any kind
should be permitted to impede the pro-
gress Of its construction. THE ARGUS is
happy in the knowledge OF the fact that
The threatened obstacle at Springfield has
been SO speedily overcome.
THE ARGUS is in receipt of q telegram
from Representative George W. Vinton
noting the passage of the resolution by
he joint session ceding jurisdiction &c

acquired for the Hennepin canal

After Her Lover.

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil states
that Emma Wickstrom, of Moline, is in
that city in search of her lover, named
Petersen. The young man courted her
in Moline, and they were engaged to be
married. But before the happy day ar
rived Petersen deserted his betrothed and
has not been seen by her since. But
Emma has courage left. She has fol-
lowed him to iucoln, where it was learned
he had gone. Not finding him there, she
went to Omaha, where she was informed
that Petersen was q resident of Council
Bluffs. Miss Wickstrom came here and
reported her case to the police Sunday,
She had been told that Petersen had been
employed in a carriage mandatory here,
but so far he has not been discovered. y

He Thought He Knew EVERYBODY.

Talking about svagger, too much of
this commodity has lately brought to
grief certain member of a well known
third rate London club. This gentle
man is one who, so far from admitting
that any member of the upper ten could
by any accident be unknown to him, is
always ready to boast of close and init
mate friendship with every one happen
ing to have either rank or position. His
failing is notorious; and three humorists
determined to give him lesson. Ac-
cordingly, in the club billiard room, one
of their number, Mr.. c.. casually said
''Are you going to Lady LIS to-
night
No replied the victim. Her lady
ship will never forgive me; but the fact
is, am tagged out and good people are
scarce.
''Quite right. I'llmake your apologies, .
said Mr.. c..
Aghast at this unlocked for PROPOSE
ton, but unable now to retreat from the
position he had taken up, the only re-
joinder of Mr.. j was feeble:
Thanks; / wish you would"
Half an hour later. just as the trio
We're about to leave the club, unhappy
Mr.. j drew Mr.. c. aside, and
after some beating about the bush was
at last obliged to confess that he did not
know Lady l., and begged Mr.. c.
not to mention his name to her.
''An right" said his triumphant tor
mentor, II won't; you may depend upon
that, for l don't happen to know her my
self. London Tit-Bits.

MILAN'S SENSATION.
The Richards-LeGrange Elopement-
The Couple suppos ed TO be in Hiding
in This City.

About three months ago Neis Lagrange
moved his family from Pleasant Valley,
Iowa, and settled in Milan. he also
brought with him one Anton Richard
who had boarded with him some time,
and who continued to do 50 after they
moved to Milan. There, however. seemed
TO be an attraction for Richard in the
LaGraDge family which turned out to be
the Oldest daughter, Miss Mabel by name,
aged l3 years. For some time past the
family have noticed that he paid her more
than ordinary attention and the mother
advised her daughter to treat him coolly
and not be so familiar. Things ran along
in this way until last Wednesday, when
the young lady, who is described as rather
pretty and somewhat tall for her age.
hired out to family in Searstown
and remained there. until Saturday
evening. Richard did not show up at
the Lagrange household after break
fast time on Saturday and in
the evening Mr.. La Grange hearing that
his daughter was in Searstown, went over
to see and there fouCd that they had lust
left on the last street car for this city.
He imme diately telephoned the police in
this city a description OF the pair, and
they in turn sent the description to the
Moline and Davenport police. but no trace
of the missing couple could be found A
young man who resides in Milan, and
was at Harper's theatre that evening. saw
the couple come into the theatre and af,
ter remaining little while they again
went out, and on Monday afternoon a
man living in this city, and who is well ac>
quainted with ali concerned, met Richard
in Davenport. since which time nothing
has been heard from them. Ri chard is a
man about So years % age and is said
no, to be very prepossessing in appear
ance.
Though no warrant has yet been issued
for Richards arrest. the girls father has
signifed his intention Of prosecuting him
if he can be found. This is one reason
why the police are making no effors to
find them. though it is it is pretty certain
that the couple are in hiding in this city.

A NEW RAIL WAY PLAN.
An Excellent Proposition Which
Mr.. LOuderback May Make.
To Ask the Council for-the Necessary
Ordinance to Equip the Pres
ent Milan Line viii
Eiecu lefty.

The indications are now that the unpopu.
lar plan OF changing the route of the
Rock Island & Milan road from the in.
tersection of Eleventh street and Seventh
avenue, will be abandoned by Mr.. Loud
eroack and that the council will net be
asked to pass its judgment upon an ordi-
nance pertaining thereto. According to
the best information The ARGUS can OBJ
tain. MIR. Louderback has under consider
alton another plan which will be as quick
to meet the approval of the people as the
other was to merit their disapproba-
ton. If he can complete certain
negotiations now pending by which
property holders propose to cooperate
with him. he will ask the council at its
next meeting for the necessary ordinance
to equip his road as it is at present loca-
Gated. with electricity, and if the council
grants the ordinance at once, as it no
| doubt will-THE ARGUS, basing it's iudg-
ment on its past attitude toward all
reasonable petitions of the street railway
people-the road will be equipped with
electricity within 60 days If Mr.. Loud.
er5ack decides to seek these rights he will
be anxious to secure the ordinance desired
while the Thompson Houston people are
still here. in order that he may make
contract with them for the electric equip>
nent of the Rock Island & Milan line.
THE ARGUS hopes that Mr.. Louderback
win decide upon such course, and in
stead of asking of the council changes
which could not consistently be granted,
will seek those which may be more read
lily given.
