The Ketchum Social Club.

At the last meeting of the clut
the platforms of the four respective
political parties were read and freely
discussed. Each party was duly
represented. The peoples party
having the greatest number Of ex.
ponents in the club. It was awfully
hard to give up Frances and Baby
Ruth, but you know, Grover, the
planks in your platform are not
strong enough for some of US. The
prohibition party has q faithful
sentinel in our worthy vice-presi-
dent, who will not be found asleep
at her post. The members were
most enthusiastic in their argu-
ments. After the political debate,
there was an informal discussion
upon questions ip general history.
En- PEASANT, there is no more clap
ping of hands by the fair eek in the
way Of applause in moments Of po-
litical enthusiasm. The latest fad
is the fantastif waving of fancy be-
ribboned payasols and umbrellas
gotten up foJ the occasion. There
will doubtless be . large importa-
ton OF them for the political cam
paign in Idaho. Mounting the

Poverty Flat mines, Silver Rule
and Skylark closed down July 31st.
Only two men left at the Skylark
and none at any of the others. The
tools from all the mines except the
Skylark have been brought to Clay
ton and stored away. The indica-
tons are that no work of any kind
will be done by the company this
year, and that the once thriving
mining camp of Clayton will be-
come almost depopulated in q short
time. The people remained by the
camp in hopes that Wall street
would be defeated and silver placed
in its rightful position, but their
hopes were shattered. They are
satisfied that the camp, and in fact
Custer county, would prosper if
silver would rise above so cents, for
the mines are looking better at pres
ent than ever. Every man, woman
and child should say hurrah for
Weaver and Field, and down with
the traitors, Cleveland Harrison.
For by the cowardly acts Of the
two old parties in robbing the West
on every ounce Of silver produced,
they are ut the same time robbing
every farmer and producer.

FOURTEENTH AVENUE.
a Plan to Further Improve the Thor
aughfare at Once.

There is probably no more impossible
thoroughfare in Rock Island than Four
teenth avenue is at times when there
is any occasion for bad roads anywhere.
At the same time IL ere is no avenue that
can be made of more importance to the
city by proper development than Four
teenth avenue, as it reaches a territory
that has not heretofore been brought N
proper communication with the city. 1t
was in realization of the vast possibilities
of development up in that neighoorhood
that THE ARGUS was led to so strongly
munication TO the locality and the putting
in of q track at once without consideration
of the rail to be used. The council did
the right and proper thing in passing the
Island Railway company, which has come
to the aid of the Tri-Cities in so many
public improvements, and thus was made
the first step in putting the avenue in
proper condition.
And, as street Improvements have
everywhere followed the street railway
company's tracks in the three
cities. so they promise already to On
Fourteenth avenue A proposition is
likely 10 come before the council at to-
nights meeting looking to the permanent
grading of the avenue and the putting OF
it in good condition for traffic at once.
As evidence of appreciation of the coun-
ellis always fair disposition toward rail-
way company. President Louderback
has offered $3.50 toward defraying the
expense of the improvement if any
arrangement can be made whereby the
| city and other interested property hold
ere may make up the difference and thus
| make the improvement at once.

Tower Notes.

Miss Rosa Ma made two more success
ful balloon ascensions in front of the
Tower Saturday and yesterday. The
fl st of the two was particularly
remarkable feat. the daring aeronsut
attaining height of fully 1000 feet
directly above the island from which the
ascension was made, anG Cut loose only
when the balloon began to descend
again. The parachute opened besuti
fnllv, the little lady alighting in tree,
bat escaping injury. Yesterday she
made another thrilling ascension and
leap, going up about 1000 feet.
The new slide at the Tower is now
operating successfully, electricity being
used as motive power 10 return the
boat to the starting point.
In further pursuance OF his determina-
ton to have everything conducted in a
neat and orderly M amer at the Tower +.
President Louierback has delegated to
Louis Cohen duties of special po
licemau, and has ordered a sndsome
uniform for him, the color to be gray as is
customary with park police in other
cities. Mr.. Louderback will ask the
authorities Having lawful jurisdiction
over the premises to clothe as msny men
as he may reed for police with police
powers, and the right will no doubt be
readily acceded, as in the case of watch
men.
The manifest carelessness of the
men running the special Sunday trains on
the Tower line in the matter of uniforms
is matter that is frequently commented
upon. That on this line above all
others the rule of President Louderback
should be diregsrded, is in no sense
commendsble of those to whose change
the management of this branch is dele>
gated. and it seems that the only way the
rule can be enforced pending Supt Hum
toons return to health. is for some one
in higher authority TO ia Ike the matter in
hand. The past two Sundays, while
some of the men have appeared in regu-
lation uniform, others have presented
the most slOvenly appearance of any on
the company's lines. Men who can't
obey the companY's rules are unfit for
the comp Iny's service.
Mrs. August Herkert is to have charge
of the culinary department of Black
Hawks Inn hereafter as her many
friends will be pleased to know.

If the 600 men frozen out of work
and homes by the tyrannical methods of
Carnegie & Co., a: Homestead, desire
employment at gcod wages, Rock Island
offers them the same, and a home free
from the expressions which have been
imposed upon them in Pennsylvania. 1t
is not an exaggeration 10 say that Rock
Island can furnish work to 1000
good men at the pres ent time. and there
is not a contractor in the city or vicinity
Who is not in need of men and teams and
all are willing to pay good prices to Sc
cure them. Edwards s. Walsh on the
Moline avenue paving contract, the
Rockford Construction company on
Third avenue the contractors in charge
of the Hennipin canal constructiCn-all
ARE advertising for laborers, and the la
ho- worthy of his hire need not
stand by idle in Rock Island these days.
In few days, tie indications are that
active operations will be commenced on
the Columbian grounds, the building OF
| fences and buildisgs. and completion of
grand stand and track grading. These
contracts mentioned are all large ones
requiring goed men. while all through
the city, business houses haye signs out
calling for two. four, six and 10 men
each.
The demand for men in Rock Island
is sign of the times, indicative of whs,
Rock Island is doing, and the opportuni
ties here for people seeking homes where
| they may earn an honest livelihood.

The secretary of war was asked May
22d by Muscatine parties if the Musca-
tine slough is part of of the Mississippi
river, and the following sent by Maj.
Mackenzie, of this city, to whom the
matter was referred. is of interest:
L. s. ENGINEER's OFFICE. Rock Isl
and, July 1S, 1892 -Respectfclly re
turn to Chief of Engineers, L. S Am :
Muscatine slough has never received any
consideration in connection with the ic =
provement of the upper Mississippi
river. 1t is cut off from the river by
dams and railroad bridges. 1t
has not been used by the Missis-
sippi river commerce, accord
ing to enclosed letter, for
35 years, or within the recollection
of such of the oldest nsv!gators as
have been consulted. 1t is reported TO me
that portions of the slough are almost dry
at low water. While its waters may be
connected by minor channels with the
waters of the Mississippi, the slough,
which lies wholly within the state of
1owa-like many others along the river
is not needed for purposes of Mississippi
river navigation,
SO far as the interests of navigation
are concerned. it would not appear to me
to be necessary or dc sirable to msintsin
that Muscatine slough forms any part of
the navigsble waters of the Mississippi
river or the United States.
