At SIS some one exclaimed: II

our glasses and there they we're. We
recognized more and more distinctly
six hOrSemen coming fast, for they
grew bigger and sharper as each sec.

As we watched eagerly. they reached
the open gate, dashed through it, and
the instant they were inside, the five

far as WI could see. had been riding
until then at a canter, broke
into a hand gallop, and then into a
full gallon, and came tearing up the
hill.
AS he neared US, we saw he was a
hussar Otficcr-a boy he did not look
eighteen. He charged past us, his
sword uplifted, his head thrown back,
his eyes fixed straight before him,
and one of us cried out: '.By Jove,
if that fellows mother could see
him, she'd have something to he
proud Of for the rest Of her time"
The yOung,ter raced on far ahead
of his men, but at the Ar n OF
Triumph the blouSes faced him. So,
as he would not ride them down IN
order to 60 through, land il be had
tried it he would only have broken
his own neck and his horse, too,
in the trench he waved his sword at
them and at slackene speed passed
round. We caught sight Of him on
the other side through the archway,
his sword h I'll up, as if he were sal
uting the Nanuuished city at his
feet. But he did not stop for scnti-
mcnt.
He cantered on came back, and as
his FIVE men had got up Ivy that time.

The plant which supplies the most
sugar for human use is the beet; next
comes the sugar cane. and these two
excel all others. The hard maple,
however, produces alarge quantity OF
very pleasant sugar. The soft maple
and the box elder produce a whittier
but a poorer sugar. There are many
species CT palms which yield j Juice
almost as rich as that Of the tropical
sugar cane, and much purcr. Clari.
fed sugar palm sap is as clear as
spring water. The wild date palm
produces the most sugar. sugar has
been made from watermelons, and
even from the American field corn,
but not prodtably. Sorghum is a
most promising sugar plant. 1t is.
undoubtedly, the Northern sugar
cane, and when better sugar produc-
ing varieties have been selected, the
manufacture OF sorghum sugar will
certainly prove a large and profitable
industry.

The ARGUS regrets the situation
the Rock Island Lecture association
finds itself confronted with, as
shown by its announcement else
where. 1t appears that upon the
strength of pledges made at the be-
ginning of the season for entire
course tickets, arrangements were
made for the usual series of meritor-
iOus entertainments. But since it
has been found that a large number
of those making the pledges have
Withdrawn and the association must
either foot the expense of the enter
tainments as provided, or abandon
them, unless the seat sale, which is
now open, warrants it in assuming
the responsibility of going ahead on
the original plans.

Catarrh starts in the nasal pas

and is in fact. the great enemy of the
mucous membrane. Neglected colds
in the head almost invariably pre-
cede catarrh. causing an extensive
flow of mucous. and If the mucous
discharge becomes interrupted the
disagreeable results of catarrh will
follow, such as bad breath. severe
pain across forehead and about the
eyes. n roaring and buzzing sound in
the ears. and oftentimes a very often

TWO FATAL FIRES.
Davenport the Scene Of Painful
Catastrophies.
ABLIND wEAvER's AWFUL DEATH.
Ferdinand Giese Twice the Victim OF Fires
Paula Peshinski. a Little Girl. Painfully
Burned While Playing with Matches and

Davenport had two probable fatal
tiles yesterday from the effects of
hre. Last night Ferdinand Giese. a
blind carpet weaver, died after IL
hours of horrible agony, the result
OF fire in his work shop early yes
terday morning. His house ad bins
his shop, and aroused by fire. he has
tened to the workshop. Picking his
way to the rear door he opened it,,
and instantly a tongue of flames shot
out. enveloping the unfortunate man
and setting fire to his clothing Re-
tracing his footsteps he hurried back
toward the house, all the time en-
deavoring to extingush his burning
clothing. He was found later in an
clubhouse in an almost nude condi-
ton, his clothing having been almost
completely burned. He was taken
into the house where it was found
that he had been frightfully burned
from head to foot. Giese was well
known in this city, having been seen
on the streets here at various times
with a hand organ. The fatal expe-
rience of yesterday was the second
affliction the poor fellow had sus-
tanned through fire. A number of
years ago he lost his eyes while fight
ing fire in the Congregational
church at Davenport, being then a
member of the Davenport volunteer
department. The cruel fate which
it seems has pursued him, took his
life at last.
Little Girls Fate
Paula Peshinski, little girl four
years of age, living in North Daven-
port, was so severely burned yester-
day as to leave but little hope of her
recovery. With her 2-year old
brother she had been left in the
house while her mother went on an
errand, and they succeeded in get
ting some matches with which they
began to play. The girls clothing
caught FIRE from the matches lighted
by her little brother, aud she dashed
into the street screaming with
fright. She threw herself on the
ground and rolled over several times
in her cndeavor to extinguish the
blaze. A citizen seeing the lit.
tie girls peril from distance and
rushing to her assistance soon had
the fire subdued. She was fright
fully burned, however. and although
DR.. Bowman, who was called, left
nothing undone to relieve her suffer
ings. her condition is very critical
with no hope of recovery.

 The stage has furnished many amusing anecdotes, and has in many instances served to bring out the latent humor of the masses. One of these, told of the actor Taillade, illustrates the aptness of the gallery god in the hour of need.
 1t seems that Taillade was acting in some forgotten piece with an abnor- mally ponderous actress, Mile. Suzann e Lagris by name, whom he was supposed in one of the scenes to carry off half fainting on his back. But his arms were too short to embrace the well-de- veloped figure of Mile.
