The Twins Defeat st. Joe In Pretty Game
Ycsterday-Cuincy Out and In.

While there was not very large
attendance at Twin-City park ycster-
day to see the second game between
Rock Island and St. Joe, the threat
ening weather being the cause, the
people who did attend were well re-
paid for their trouble-the clubs put
up a nice exhibition. Sonier was in
the box for the Twins and did nice
work, holding the Missourians down
to four hits and giving but one man
bases on balls. The score stood ?
and up until the fifth inning. and
was fun of sharp plays and quick
field work. Then Rock Island rot
three runs on Andrews 2-bagger and
Cantillon's home run. The visitors
were only able to get two runs in the
sixth and seventh, ciphering the rest
of the game, while the home club got
three more in the seventh. Only one
error was made by each Of the clubs.
the fielding being nearly perfect.

While driving down Seventeenth

FEAR MORE DELAY.
Brick Supply too Slow on Nine
teenth Street.
CONTRACTORS NOTIFY TEE COUNCIL
State That Unless the Material Is
Changed the Work Can Not be Com
pieted This Year-To BE Decided Tomor-
Sxu~e

row Night.
In the brief session that the city
council held last night communica-
ton was received from the Edwards
Walsh Construction company.
stating that the brick supply being
furnished by the National Clay COM
pany for the paving of Nineteenth
street and Sixth avenue wGs so re-
stricted and so uncertain that unless
a change was made in the material
the work could not possibly be COM
pleted this year. The council put
the communication on file until
Wednesday evening. when it will be
taken up and considered.
Provoking Delay.
1t seems that the same provoking
delay that has hindered and delayed
paving operations all through the
season in the matter of delivering
brick, is now annoying the con-
tractors on not only the Nineteenth
street and Sixth avenue jobs, but
that on Twentieth. rs the contractors
claim that at the present rate OF pro-
gress they will be lucky if they reach
the top of Twentieth street hill, to
say nothing of Nineteenth street.
The fate OF the latter undertaking,
rs far as this season is concerned.
will be settled. probably tomorrow
night. but whatever it is, it is to be
hoped the council will permit no OBJ
! struction to be thrown in the way of
doing the work this season.
Rock Island had good years work
in paving laid out, and the street i'm
proyements made are probably as
important as any the city has put in
subsequent to the principal business
streets. II the Nineteenth street Job
is allowded to go over solely for the
lack of material it will be much re-
| GREETED.
AS to the Clay Company.
As far as the National CLAY compa-
ny is concerned, TIE ARGUS has al
ways sustained it. as it would any
local industry, and hopes to continue
| to do so, but the interests and well
fare of the public should not be en-
tirely sacrificed for the sake OF one in
stituiion. There is no question but
that the Clay company's brick is
equal to any. and the complaint that
is now being made not only by the
contractors, but by others is not 81
much on the character of the ma
teriai as in the delay in furnishing it
This has been notable throughout the
season. The Seventeenth street ioi
was set back considerably bv tht
same cause, and progress after tn,
commencement much impeded by th'
unsatisfactory manner in which tn,
brick was delivered
1t is to be hoped the Clay compan,
will bestir itself and keep up will
the times in Rock Island. 1t will b.
obliged to. if the remainder OF tn
city is to be paved with home brick

Mrs. Schmitt, residing ON Elm

this morning aud said that while the
parade was going on yesterday she
was standing on the corner of TWEEN
tieth street and Fourth avenue. she
noticed three strange fellows stand
ing around her, and when the crowd
had somewhat thinned out she
reached for her pocket book, but il
was gone. The purse contained
81. 65. She had some loose money in
her pocket. but it was not taken.
John Smiths residence on Eighth
avenue and Sixth street was entered

watch and a revolver taken. Fred
erick Wehling's house on Eighth
avenue and Seventh street was also
ransacked and a hunting case gold

~ Wehling," on the inside of case.
taken. The burglaries are supposed
to have been committed by followers
of the show. The police have no clue
TO the miscreants.
Victor Martins, arrested by Officer
Carnes for causing some trouble on
Moline avenue Sunday night, was
brought before Magistrate Schroeder
this morning and charged with as
sault and battery. his case being con-
tinued until = o'clock tomorrow af-
ternoon.
All the suspicious characters ar
rested yesterday and last night were
turned out this morning and told to

skin anybody until he BUYS some
new ones. Those found in his pos
session were kept at the station.

distance from the other rigs and went
in TO see the show. But after the en-
tcrtainment was over. the rig wa,

standard Of the Republicans who have
done the country's tariff tinkering for
the past quarter Of a century and
more. MCKINLEY allowed the pro-
tsctsd monopolles to write their own
schedules in his tariff measure. But
Mr.. WILSON. while he courteously ac-
espted their statements, framed his
tariff dill, himself, with the aid Of his
committee, according to his best judg-

than the demands Of the people and
and his party's platform.
Whatever may be entered in COM

RoBBERY oF - INDIANs.

The United States government can
better afford to do justice TO It's redskin
wards than to permit them to be robbed
OF their possessions and thus undo much
that has been done toward their eiyiliza-
tlon. It would likewise be cheaper to
the government and, ia addition 10 be-
ing an honorable act, which would re-
Store the confidence Of the Indians in
the sincerity Of the government, would
prevent another probable murderous
and costly frontier war.
In 1891 an act was passed "tO provide
for the adjudication and payment Of
claims arising from Indian depreda-
tions."
Some Of these depredations date back
to the war Of 1912, and 5000 claims
have already been filed, many Of which
have been settled.
The claims are paid out Of the trust
funds Of the Indians in the hands Of the
government.
These funds amount to SIG, 900, 900.
The claims filed up to date amount to
about $50, 900, 600.
But . small percentage Of al the
claims that will be fled-Or half Of
those, already filed-wiu totally wipe
out every cent Of the money the gov
ernment holds in trust for its redskin
wards. This would leave them with
some acres Of land apiece, but without
a dollar for their cultivation. IL would
force them back to uncivilized methods
Of life, increase their distrust Of the
white man, destroy their confidence in
the honor of the government at Wash
ington, make it necessary TO solve the
Indian problem all over again, and cost
even more in the end than it would to
pay these claims directly out of the
Treasury. Moreover, the Indians are
not half civilized yet and the outcome
would probably be a bloody frontier
war
The law is unjust, for it is certainly
unfair, taking everything into cOnsid-
GRAFTON, 70 make the present genera
ton Of Indians pay for the depreda-
tlons Of their savage fathers, and 1t is
impracticable because all OF the In
dian trust funds would not pay q small
part Of the cost
1t might be borne in mind, also, that
the Indians we're the original pOssessors
Of this country, which is now the greatest
Of the white races possessions. Surely
the civilized aud superior white Ameri-
can can allow the original American to
live in it without robbing him OF the
little be has left.
