The Gr..a Array Ent.rpr,.e.

The coming fair and series Of en-
tertainments to he given under the
auspices of the q. A. X. and W. X.
c.. Of this. city. will be one of the
great events in the history of these
organizations. Col. Lew Ginger.
who has been engaged by the COM
mittee. is a gentleman who has made
u study of this work. and is recon-
mended by all the most prominent
men Of Kansas. Nebraska. Colorado
and Missouri. having in those states
placed over *l25.OOU in the funds of
the Soldiers associations by these
enterprises in the past five years
He has the endorsement of the de
partment commanders of the above
states. as well as those of such men
as ex-senator John j. Ingalls,. Hon.
+. n. Morrell and other men prom
inent in the history of the nation.
Col. Ginger has just concluded "a
successful fair at Kansas City, Mo-.
for the second time in that city.
Every business firm in the CITY was
represented with a handsome pres
ent donated to the fair. and received
in return many times the value of
the articles in the original way Col.
Ginger advertised them.
Unlike other fairs. the patrons will
not be importuned by solicitors ask
ing them to take chances on these
articles. but tickets will be issued Mt
81 each. which admits the purchaser
to the theatre. where the opening |
performance takes place, and to the |
Armory hall also during the three
days and nights Of the fair. and then
the presents are given to the holders |
Of the tickets. The G. A. K. posts |
and Relief Corps of the surrounding
cities will sell hundreds of tickets t. |
their citizens. thus bringing many
dollars to swell the relief fund here |
that will be expended in relief work
this winter. It is "a noble cause, and
the people Of Rock IsIand will not be
behind the western cities where Col. |
Ginger has worked, and will help to
make this affair the greatest ever
attempted in the city. The time is
fixed for December 10. 20 and 81.

The Popular Heterogeneous Back In

| The Popular Ex-Coagressaan Back In
Rock Island.
Ex.Congressman Ben I. Cable
reached home this morning after his
energetic campaign as member OF
the democratic national committee,
one Of the most bitter and aggressive
fights fo- patronage ever known, and
one which would have conquered the
zeal Of men of less determined dis
position than Mr.. Cable. His time
has accordingly been pretty much
occupied politically. and this is the
first time he has been home since
last April.
Pleased With the Nominations.
Mr.. Cable was in Chicago yester-
day. and the Herald says of him:
Ben I. Cable. the Illinois member
of the national democratic commit
tee. said yesterday concerning the
Chicago federal appointments which
were made last Saturday:
II think the appointment Of W. J.

cnue is an excellent one. viewed from
any standpoint. Mr.. Mize is capa-
bic business man. and am satisfied
that he will successfully and salts
factOrilv administer the affairs of the
office. The bestowal of the Office
upon him was the deserved recogni-
! tion of a faithful and consistent dem
! ocrat who has given much valuable
service to the party.
Il am also well pleased with Mr5
Hesing's appointment. 1t will. am
sure. meet with the approval of the
business men Of Chicago. and am
confident that the management of the
Office will bc entirely satisfactory
during the peroid of Mr.. Hesing's in

for this honorable and responsible
position the president. am con-
WINGED. was actuated largely by de-

fact. One of the best authenticated
of this kind is recorded concern
ing the vicious old monster known for
years as Wicked Bill. When and by
whom this whale was first attacked no
one knows, but several harpoons were
left in him, and he was identified, when
seen afterward, by his scars. During
six OF years he was unsuccessfully
tackled several times, in every instance
smashing n or more boats, and some
times killing from one to a half dozen
seamen. His reputation got SO bad that
whalers who recognized him by his scars
would not trouble him. This respect for
his prowess began just after a story was
bold of his sinking a Russian merchant

Later in his career, one day in the ff.
ties, he made o breach" suddenly among
the boats OF the Salem whaler Mary

men were perfectly willing to lose tho
whale they had killed if by that means
they were assured Of immunity from
Wicked Bills fury. Some days after

was found to be following the ship. 1t

part of the officers and crew he made a
bold dash at the vessel, striking her

Encounters with fierce whales were
the chief dangers feared by>those whal-
ers who sailed tropical waters only In
search of oil producing prey, but the
whalers of the north, who followed the
right whale, yielding bone, oil and ivory,
to its Businesses in the Arctic had both
whales and ice to fear. The latter was
much the greater danger, and thanks to

In whaling as well as every other bust

sails as a propulsive power renders the

few years ago that a feet of 80 vessels

Enforcing the Antitrust Law.

Circuit Attorney William Zachritz
Tuesday filed 20S suits in the circuit
court against corporations that have
failed to comply with the antitrust law
framed and passed April 2, 1891. This
law requires all corporations to file afi-
davits once a year, stating that the firm
is in nowise connected with q trust or
pool. Several suits of the same nature
were brought last year, but the delin-
quents came to time, and they were dis
missed.
Mr.. Zachritz said to a reporter last
night in regard to the cases that they
would be pushed against every v~iolatol
this time. II cannot see," said Mr..
Zachritz, why corporations should not
be made to comply with the law the
same as individuals. The penalty is q
fine of not less than $50 and not more
than 81, 1000. Each delinquent can BIZ
