THE BEST COURSE.
Columbian Note signers Meet TO Com
slider il

Endorsers on the Colum bian land
and celebration notes to the number
OF 20 met last evening at the office of
+. +. Morgan, in Moline, to consider
the best course to pursue in view of
the action of the State Savings bank
in Moline in bringing action against
the endorsers of the 81, 200 note I'M
der which so much money was OBJ
tanned from that bank for the first
payment on the Brooks tract. After
an extended discussion of the situa-
ton, a committee was appointed
composed of Messrs. H. A. Aims
worth, l.. Simon. Morris Rosenfeld
and f. H. Guyer, to see the SO note
slgners and try to make arrange
ments whereby each shall either pay
his proportion of the $4,000 and ac-
crued interest or sign individual
notes for the amount, with an ac-
ceptable endorsement, and thus take
up both of the joint liability notes.
Messrs. Jackson and Velie as trus-
tees of the land and who are not
only Jointly responsible with the
note signers in all obligations as
sumed for the first payment, but in
addition thereto for the balance due
guaranteed to the Brooks heirs by
mortgage, presented an agreement
for the signatures of their associates
IN the purchase, making the 80 equal
shares in the liability and placing
them under obligation to help carry
1t until such time as the property
shall be disposed Of This was not
accepted last evening however, as the
note signers preferred time for con-
sideration, but it is likely that
some course of procedure will be
adopted that will insure mutual pro-
lection to all interested. A number
of propositions were considered last
night. one being offered by Mr.. Guyer
to be one of 10 to form Il syndicate
and guarantee bid covering all
| liens.
should stand Together.
In whatever is done it is to be
hoped the gentlemen who through
their enterprise and public spirit
have become involved in this under
taking, will stand together, with no
be Sinking of responsibility or at
tempt to take advantage of whatever
situation may present itself. There
need be no fear Of the outcome. the
ARGUS is confident, if the move is
made cautiously and in Il cool-headed,
/ business-like manner. The land is
worth much more than the purchase
money originally agreed upon, and
surely some means Will eventually
be devised whereby those who have
interested themselves in it will be
recompensed to the fullest extent on
what they have risked.

4 Genuine Fraud.
How About Twentiethe

The Edwards & Walsh Construc-
ton Co. has completed the paving of
Eighteenth street. and Mr. Edwards
has taken his forces to Davenport to
assist in the completion of the work
in that city. Meanwhile Twentieth
street, which was included in the
contract under which the company
undertook Fourth avenue and Twen-
ty-fourth and Eighteenth streets. re-
mains undisturbed. The same for
malities that were necessary for the
paving of Fourth avenue and the
other streets were discharged as to
Twentieth, and it is difficult to con-
ceive what should cause the DELAY on
the latter street. To be sure the
brick supply is little short, but
that does not hinder the contractors
making a start south of Ninth ave-
nue.. The property holders of linn
tied means all over the city have
borne their proportion of paving
cheerfully and uncomplainingIy. and
the work of progress and permanent
improvements must not stop the
moment it strikes the extensive land
owners.

That Displayed by Bogus Priest Here
Recently.
Two weeks ago last Sunday a man
apparently between 30 and so years
of age made his appearance at the
rcctory of st. Mary's church and
represented himself to be a mission
airy priest travelling. Father Kopf.
the priest in charge, gave him on re-
quest S25. The bogus priest then
performed the service of the mass
and in two or three instances Father
KoPf detected something wrong. On
the following Monday he left, and
during the day Father Kopf received
notice from Bishop Spaulding. of
Peoria, to watch out for Il bogus
priest, and described accurately the
man who had been there. Nothing
more was heard of him until this
week, when the Dubuque Telegraph
asks the state press to warn the
Catholic community against him
He has number of aliases. and his
general story is that his is a mission
airy order for outstanding the Indi-
ans.
\ Genuine Fraud.
1t is stated that he is we'll acquaint-

here and tried to swindle Father
Mackin, but he did not succeed
Then he went to Davenport and did
succeed in swindling Father Nier-

city.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

the discovery that the Silver men
who passed the bill reducing the
salaries Of the Rep ibiican deputies
afterwards had tie bill stolen in or
der to throw blame on the Republi-
cans, and tina. the work was too
course. Now it occurs to the APPEAL
that this is about the most original
solution Of tie mystery We have yet
seen aud that the Tribune is entitled
TO frst prize.
Ii also occurs 10 US that if the Re-
publican deputies in the Capt. ]
really wish to convince the public
that they are anxious to do the
RE lit thing, al they have to do is to
return to the State Treasury the
difference petN cen their salaries I'M
der the old law and what they
would be if the stolen bill had be-
come law. Here lndsed is golden
opportunity to convince the taxp y
ers that they reilly wait economy

TWO PISTOLS AND A TRUNK.

A few years ago Richard Page
Jessup fell in with lawyer who told
him that he was entitled to big es-

The youth signed paper allowing
the lawyer 10 per cent of what he
got, anu the ball Of litigation started
rolling. He was decreed 1900.
But of course he never got cent
His lawyer reached for it.
Jessup with a SlOU,O 900 award of

driving about in style and swilling
champagne.
The other day the case was closed,
the boys estate wound up and the
court made an inventory of his eff

He has nc. use for his trunk as he
has nothing to put in it. He might
find use for his pistols plugging his

money to buy load for the weap-
