THE ROCK RIVER BRIDGE.
HOw the City Came to Its Own Res.
cue Once Before.
A Suggestion That the same Course
be Pursued Again-Of Consider
able Interest to Rock Island.

"In 1862" said A. G. Dart, last even
ing. capt. McDermott. quartcrmaster
of the U. 8. army. came here suddenly
with orders to erect 100 barracks to ac-
commodate 100 men each at Rock Island
arsenal. At that time the city had no
communication with the island except
the old slough railroad bridge. and the
only way the island could be reached by
| teams or pedestrians was by way of Mo
line. 1t was at once apparent that Rock
Island should have better communica-
ton with the island. A meeting was
providing for the construction of the
bridge. The city was petitioned to take
steps, and it did. The council borrowed
the money and built the bridge over the
south channel. and afterward sold it to
the government. and the result was that
Rock Island was put in communication
Ior furnishing army supplies. Afterward
| the ice carried away the bridge. and in
is its place the government built the
present bridge across the south channel.
Now my suggestion is that the city
| adopt just such course in relation to
the bridge connecting Big island during
the canal construction. not only to get
the benefit of furnishing the supplies for
the workmen, but as a ste piping stone
to the lower END of the county. Otherwise
all supplies will have to be hauled away
around by the city bridges several miles
| out of the way"
Apropos of Mr.. Darts suggestion, and
the action of the Improvement associa-
| ton looking to the same end. THE ARGUS
hopes that if bridge is built. it will be
| down far enough so that it will not only
afford the temporary advantage during
the canals construction, but that it may
eventually lead TO direct communication
with the lower end of the county. so much
desired and which would bring TO RockIsl
aud the tradeMuscatine has been fattenlng
on so long, this matter having been treated
at length in THE ARGUS frequently here
tofore. and more particularly when the
route of the canal was finally deter
mined.

STRANGE AS FICTION.

RI markabie and Romantic COinci.
dence OF the Reuniting ola Family In
the Upper End OF The County.
One of those strange cases of the
reuniIing of families after years of sep
aration has just come to light in this
county that teens of the romantic.
About three weeks ago a stranger
giving his name as William Ennor made
his appearance at Port Byron in search
of three grand children whom he had
reason to believe were residing in that
vicinity. After some diligent inquiry
h. found trace of them and later dis.
covered that one of the missing ones he
sought was now Mrs. Lamont Letting
well. of Port Byron. who had been reared
from bsbyhood by Samuel Bruner and
one as Grace Bruner. Her foster parents
knew nothing of their adopted daugh-
ters relations, except that her parents
name was Oliver. This they told her
when she grew up. and the girl always
took a delight in looking up the people
by that name in the hopes Of finding
some of her relations. A few months
ago she noticed q marriage announce
ment of Miss Elizabeth Oliver. of Coal
Valley, and upon writing to her she
learned for the first time who her peo-
pie were, and also was amazed to find
that her own brother. George Oliver, had
been living few miles distant from her
for years, neither Of them being aware of
the existence of the other. lowing
upon the steps of this came the arrival
of the grandfather in search of the chil>
dren. and happy reunion resulted. Mr..
Ennor, the grandfather. is a wealthy
resident of Galena, Ill.

select Little Party at the Harper
Fixes Things Up For Gest-He Is
Formally Notified and Accents.

A SELECT Little Party at the Harper
Fixes Things Up For Gest-He II
Formally Notified and Accepts.
A select little party of republicans
Gest republicans-held a conference in
the ladies' ordinary at the Harper las,
evening. Chairman 8. j. Collins of the
city committee called the assemblage to
order and stated that the object of the
meeting was to consider the propriety of
bringing out home candidate for con-
gress in view of the fact that the candi-
dates from the other parts of the district
have been here"
E. E. Parmenter was then elected
chairman and 1. D. Burgh secretary of
the meeting, evidently considering that
it was not only necessary to show that
the Rock Island republicans had a can
didate. but that he came from distinct
part of Rock Island.
Morris Rosenf1eld was the first speaker
and he opened without any ceremony or
formslity with declaration for Gest, and
Gest only. E. D. Sweeney. Mayor Nc
Conochie, Col. Henry Curtis and Gen
w. A. Schmitt Clipped in their mites in
support OF the theory that it was high
time for Rock Island republicans to be
stirring in the matter of a candidate and
that a mistake had been made IN not do
ing something before this.
Then Steve Collins offered a resolution.
the drift of which was that it be the
sense of the conference that Hon. w. II.
Gest should be the candidate of Rock
Island county in the congressional con-
vention.& This passed. as matter of
course as did resolution following for
committee of seven, to which the chair
man and secretary were added to formal
ly inform Mr.. Gest of the expression of
the meeting. BY some hocus pocus
it became whispered about that MIR. Gest
was in his office, and the committee on
notification being so enlightened, fastened
there, fearing in the meantime that Mr..
Gest might have gone home. To their
great surprise they found that he was still
there. He was overwhelmed with sur
PRISE at the greeting, and before he could
recover himself or imagine what was
coming. E. D. Sweeney explained the
committees mission.
Mr.. Gest replied. He modestly told
what he had done while congress- man,
and what he had tried to do. He had
abstained from coming out before. be-
cause it might not be for the best inter-
ests of the party 10 do so. Now. how
ever, he would run, and do his best to be
nominated and elected. He would value
the denomination highly because it would
give him further opportunity to serve
them and the people of the district"
Mr.. Sweeney then reiterated the OBJ
ject of the committees visit. and asked
Mr.. Gest to put his acceptance in writ
ing. the committee evidently feeling that
it had required such an effort to persuade
Mr.. Gest to accept. that it was desirable
to get his answer in shape where there
would be no going back of it.
The committee then retired-in the
best of spirits.
