As has been said the ladies of the
Industrial Relief society in their ef-
forts to care, for and help the I'M
fortunate. have seen the direct need
of n hospital. After discussing vari-
Gus ways of providing it. they ar
ranged the petition which Mr.. Mix
ter circulated and whose object vas
to have the 2-mill tax proposition
submitted to the people. The ladies'
therefore who earned the gratitude
of the community for what they did
for st. Luke's hospital in the past
are to be thanked for the origin Of
the new hospital idea.

Men Embark in Real Estate-To be Con-
Quoted In wide.Awake styIe-wm Help
Build up the City.
That Rock Island is rapidly forging
ahead is apparent upon every side,
and in no branch of business is this
fact more strongly evidenced than
the real estate market, where the
and successful engineering of trans
actions has led to the formation of a
new firm that completed its arrange
ments today Richard A. Donaldson
and George F. Roth have established
Real Estate & Loan Exchange in
rooms 3, 4, 5 and 6. Masonic Temple
block.
Thoroughly Competent.
Probably no more reliable or thor
oughly competent men could have
formed co-partnership for a bust
ness of this kind than the gentlemen
mentioned. Mr.. Donaldson was for
II wears connected with the county
clerks Office, II years of which he
was county clerk, and on his retire
ment in 1890 entered into partner
ship in the insurance business with
Hon. f. W. Hurst, and has since
been selected secretary of the Home
Building & Loan association. The
NJ
resident of the city 10 years and for
| 10 wears held a responsible position
| in the offices of Weyerhauser & Denk-
mann. The past two years he has
been superintendent of the loan de-
| partment of the law firm of jackson
4 Hurst. Both gentlemen are pecu-
liarly adapted to this line of business
and their past experience both hav-
ing been associated more or less in
this line, has amply qualified them
to undertake and carry on success
fully business of this kind.
Success Assured.
! The fact that the two, members of
| the firm are connected with the
building and loan, and loan proper
business will be of inestimable bene-
fit to them in carrying on a real es-
tate business, as they can provide
investors or persons seeking a home
at moderate prices and on easy terms
with almost any kind of a deal they
wish. They are thoroughly convers-
f, ant with every detail of the business,
and being gentlemen of push, energy
and sound business Judgment, they
can be fully relied upon to look after
| any business that is intrusted to their
care. The new firm starts out with
bright prospects, and combines in a
happy degree, ability, experience and
the other requisites of success.

1t VIII he Successful.

That the proposition to be submit
ted to the voters ut the forthcoming
election will be successful the ARGUS
does not in the least doubt. So far
not a word OF objection has been
heard with reference to it, the people
with one accord realizing the neces-
sitv for = hosital in Rock Island.
Once erected and properly equipped,
the hospital would be almost self
sustaining. There are numerous
cases every week. where the Wet ms
of accidents of various kinds are not
cared for as they should be-not by
any means to say neglected-but who
do not receive the attention and
skilled nursing that they would have
in a hospital. VIII Rock Island un-
der these circum stances and in view
of all the facts surrounding the mat
ter. turn q deaf ear to the eutrearies
of the situation? VIII it ignore the
appeal OF charity and mercy? There
can be no question a to what the re-

ANTE-ELECHON GOSSIP.
| Schroeder's Grave Chrrges Against Nc
Conochie-Taiked of Candidates.


The internecion warfare which is
raging within the local republican
ranks seems to grow more fierce and
deadly as time brings on the city
conventions. If anyone thinks for 4
moment that Aid. Schroeder is not
in earnest in his opposition to Mayor
McConochie's denomination. he has
not become acquainted with the
Sixth ward alderman's methods OF
campaigning. The most serious breach
that has occurred in the lines of the re-
publican party is due to the charge
vigorously made by Mr.. Schroeder
that the mayor has deliberately and
shamefully broken faith with him.
Mr.. Schroeder AYERS that two years
ago when he was a candidate for the
nomination, McConochie went to
him and told him that if he would
get off the track and out of his way
he would reciprocate two years
hence by throwing his support to his
candidacy. This pledge was made in
the presence of a friend of Schroeder's,
and agreeable to the understanding
Schroeder withdrew Now the time
has rolled around for McConochiez to
make good his part OF the pledge
but is he doing it? His own course
offers the answer and Schroeder is
contenting himself with the convic
ton that his honor is merely carry
ing out the course that has character
lied his policy with reference to all
his promises.
AIdermanic Possibilities.
In the Fourth ward the democrats
are talking strongly of nominating
Henry Lemburg for alderman.
DR.. c. b. Kinyon is being discussed
/ as an available republican candidate
| in the Third ward. He would make
as good figure head as any, for the
! people of the ward have decided to
! return Aid. Dan COrken.
| The Second ward democrats are de
! termined to have another alderman
| in the council this year. and looking
| to that end are talking OF eX-Ald.
! Charles Durham and +. d. Mozart
! nev. either one of whom would de-
| feat Hetter or any other man the re-
! publicans could put up, with ease.
The Fifth ward democrats are de-
termined to have an alderman this
spring. and are talking of Julius
Junge. Jacob Scherrer' and Robert
! Kuschmann, the nomination of any
! one OF whom would mean election.
! AID. Knox's friends want to nominate
/ him. but c. A. Schoessel has avowed
his disposition to run. and there's the
| hitch.
|. d. Burgh comes boldly out in
yesterday mornings Union with an
announcement of his candidacy for
the nomination for collector on the
republican ticket. Burgh has proved
! gallant officer in the ranks of the q.
| O. p. and is now ready to show his
willingness to do or die for its sake.
j. Alex Montgomery has decided at
last to openly cast himself at the feet
OF the republican party and has come
/ forward with formal announcement
OF his candidacy for the city clerk
snip nomination. AS there is a
strong bitter feeling existing between
Montgomery and Koehler. this last
act on the formers part was all that
was necessary to stir up hornets
J nest.

THE LADIES
the Proposition for a
City Hospital Originated.
THE INDUSTRIAL RELIEF SOCIETY.

The Great Need of such an Institut ion
Comes Directly Under the Eyes of the
Organization-The Plan TO be submit ted
to the Voters of the City Was the Re-
suit 1t VIII Surely be Endorsed.
The proposition to be voted upon
in connection with the city election
to be held April looking to n special
2-mill tax for the purpose OF city
hospital, had its origin, it may be
said, with the Ladies' Industrial Re
lief society. In its work OF charity
and mercy many cases of suffering
came under the eyes OF the ladies of
this organization, which fully dem
onstrated the need of such an insti-
tuition. 1t will be remembered it
was the ladies of Rock Island. ire
spective of religious denominations
who formed the St. Luke's hospital
guild, and whose sacrificing devot on
to the noble cause carried it on sue
cessfully for a number of years, I'M
til indeed, unreasonable attacks
upon their methods of raising reve-
nue. to sustain them in carrying on
the enterprise-the charity ball for
nstance-caused its failure and so
disheartened the ladies of St. LuEe's
that they were obliged to finally
abandon the thankless undertaking.
The opposition to the charity ball
triumphed in its effects, but the
chief of these effects has been that
Rock Island has not had hospital
since.

STATE NEWS.

Barn,s Greeley, the only surviving
brother of Horace Greeley, lives, at the
ace of 10 wears, on the old Greeley home
stead at Chappaqua He is described by
a recent lady visitor as tall, loosely
iointed, stumbling of gait, with snowy
hair and beard, mild blue eyes, peaceful
yisage, and tongue that is the nearest
approach to perpetual motion yet DIS
covered.
The st. Adams Messenger has this To-
cal: A mau in Montpelier had money in
a savings institution of that town. For
several causes, probably due to the IL
nancial panic the country is undergoing,
he withdrew $1,000 from the bank. After
withdrawing this he celebrated his es-
cane from financial ruin by getting into
glorious state of intoxication, and
while in that condition hid his money
for safe keeping. Now that he is sober
he cannot remember where he hid it.
Now. whether the moral that adorns
this tale" is not to withdraw your money
from the bank, or not to hide your
money, or not to get drunk, or all three,
or any one or none of the three men,
toned acts, is left for the reader to de
eide.
The new city charter adopted by Rut
land, contains clause making it mis-
demeanor for any merchant to wash the

The example might be emulated to adj
vantage by other places. 1t is certainly
disagreeable to take ones chances of be
ing spattered with dirty water Will,
passing along a public thoroughfare. A
provision might also be adopted prohib
iting the washing of sidewalks during
business hours.

THE CAMBRIDGE FAIR.

The fair at Cambridge, N. Y, this year
will be greater exposition than ever be-
fore. Last year there was the largest
exhibit of horses, cattle and sheep ever
shown at any fair in this part of the
country. Over 600 sheep, over 400 head
of cattle, more horses than could be
stabbed, fine display of poultry, a
splendid exhibit of farm products, vege-
tables and fruit were shown on thu
grounds and entries so far this year show
that the coming exhibition will be supe-
riOr tn that of a year ago. The manage
ment each year are making improve
ments on the grounds and this year in
addition to the enlarging of the grand
stand, several new structures, for gener-
al and private exhibitions will be built.
The racing will be very fine. On the
first day, Tuesday, there will be the 2:5O
class trotting and pacing for purse OF
5000 and the three year old class will con-
test for purse of $3.50. On Wednesday,
Sept. 6, the races will be the 2:27 Ass,
trotting, for purse of $3.50 and fol OF
1891, 2:34 class, for purse of $3.50. The
third day, Thursday, the racing will be.
gin at 1920 a. M, and the contest Will
continue throughout the day and will in
clude in the forenoon the road-wagon
race for green horses for a purse OF 500
and the race for ioals of 1892, and at
O'Clock p. M, the 2:40 class for purses Of
$3.50 and 2:30 p. M, the colt race fol-
toals of 1889. On Friday, the last day
the racing will include the colt races for
foals of 1889 and the 2:22 class pacing
and trotting for purse of $500.
1t will thus be seen that the racing
will be very attractive to the horsemen
in this vicinity. Besides these races
there will be Wild West show giver
every day. On Wednesday there will bt
the foot ball game and on Friday there
will be the grand coaching parade.
On the other days will be seen the re
views of standard bred horses, cattle ant
other special attractions.
The exhibits OF farm products, house
hold manufactures and of the work by
school children will be very fine. In fac
there is no fair in this part of the coun
try that offers so many attractions as tn
fair at Cambridge.
The rates of admission are very rea
enable and all who attend the fair Wi
be sure of getting their moneys worth

MIR. PHELPS ON THE BERING SEA.

MR.. PHELPS ON THE BERING SEA.
The attention of ex-Minister E. j.
Phelps was directed to copy of the re-
marks of Washington lawyer to the eff
feet that this country had lost its control
of the seal industry through the Berlng
decision and the waters of Alaska were
thrown open to every poacher IN the
world except those of England and
America. Mr.. Phelps spoke of the mat
ter as follows:
al do not think the speculations of this
writer are of any consequence. de EVIL
IDENTIFY does not know much about the
case and l do not understand what he
saws or what he means. The real ques-
ton. and the only material question in
yolved in the arbitration, was whether
the seals should be protected from exter-
mination. 1t was contended on the part
of the United States that pelagic sealing,
that is to say the pursuit of the seals In
the sea, was not only barbarous and IN
human, but also necessarily destructive
to the race, and that it ought to be pro.
hibited. 1t was contended on the part oil
Great Britain that pelagic sealing was q
right that could not be interfered with,
whether it was destructive or not; tna'
it was not so destructive as COMMENDED oy
the United States, and that only sucn
regulations should be adopted as were
consistent with the prosperity of the
business of hunting seals in the water.
1.-THE tribunal has imposed such re
strictions upon that business as mus
virtually put an end to it, since undel
those regulations it can no longer be
pursued with profit.
This decision is, of course, satisfac
tory to us because it gives us substantial
ly all that was commended for, and almos
all that we claimed in the outset OF tn
discussion under Mr.. Cleveland's forme
administration, and it gives us NOR
than Mr.. Blaine proposed to accept dur
ing the subsequent negotiations in MI
Harrison's administration"
