Irrigation Congress.

OFFICIAL CALL.
by the authority OF the national ex-
ecuiive committee, the Third National
Irrigation Congress is hereby called to
meet in the city OF Denver, Col, for the
seven days beginning September Q,
1891.
: To the people Of the western half Of
the United States this congress presents
both an urgent duty and supreme OPP
por,unity. In.this moment Of extrsordi-
nary political, social and industrial un-
rest, the nation may well recall Mac
auley's prediction, that the real test OF
our institution would come with the
exhaustion Of our public domain. The
nation faces that situation today, with
all its perilous possibilities, unless the
arid public lands are to be made fit for
homes of men. To suggest the means
whereby this may be done, so that idle
energies shall find employment and
landless citizens find homes and indus
trial independence, is the duty and the
opportunity OF western men.
Irrigation commissions in seventeen
states and territories, created by the last
Irrigation Congress, will render reports
To the Convention at Denver. Upon
these studies OF existing conditions and
iature needs IN all parts OF the arid
REGION. it is proposed 10 construct
national policy and code Of local laws to
be submitted TO the federal congress and
the legislatures OF western states.

Patrick Gavin Keeps . whole Nelghb0r-
hood In . Hubbub.
Patrick Gavin is one of the pro-
prietors of the ..Irish meat market, :"
1924 Fourth avenue. and ordinarily
is nice fellow, but when Pat gets
"a drop Of the cratur" he becomes
intoxicated and when he gets two
drops he becomes crazy. Yesterday
Pat took two drops, and the conse-
qucnce was that last evening he was
about the widest Irishman ever seen.
He became enraged at his partner,
and few words of Pats most abusive
language brought on blows, and he
received decidedly the worst of it.
He was released finally from a very
unpleasant position, and as soon as
he was he began abusing the owner
OF the building in which his butcher
shop is located, and that gentleman
gave Pat some more of the worst of
it. BY this time people to the num-
Der OF about one hundred congregat-
ed about the front of the store and
listened to Pat declare that his
''name was Gavin" and that he sswas
born in the County Clare" Friends
tried to quiet him, but of no avail.
He made more noise than a regiment
OF soldiers. and attempted on three
or four occasions to knock out the
front windows, etc., of his store.
When the police arrived Pat had just
been taken upstairs, but he was
taken down again and escorted to the
police station by Officers Mulqueen
and Ryan, and his pugnacious ire
given a chance to cool off.
Pat was taken before Magistrate
Schroeder this morning and was
fined IS and costs.

Endorsement Of the city Hall Proposition.
w. B. Ferguson then offered the
following resolutions, which were
adopted unanimously:
Whereas, The mayor by special
communication to the city council at
its last meeting called the attention
of that body to the need of a city
hall; and
Whereas, In view of the condition
OF the city's Indebtedness, it would
be impossible to erect such building
by additional taxation; and
Whereas, The plan submitted by
the mayor obviates the increase Of
the city's Indebtedness and the con-
sequent increase of taxes, and such
plan having been demonstrated to be
practical, having been adopted and
successfully carried out in other cit
les; therefore be it
Resolved, That we heartily en-
dorse the plan and will lend the
project our joint and individual aid
and support.

NJ. E. Sweeney spoke of the delay

the last on the list of the public
buildings. whose plans were await
ing the action of the supervising ar
chitect, while others since provided
for were further up on the list and
that he had had it put at the head.
Remarks were also made by A. M.
Blakesley and M. M. Sturgeon, and
upon the latter's motion, the presi-
dent and secretary were instructed
to write Congressman Post, and
urge that he give the matter his at
tention at as early a day as possible

Dividing the Court Work.

Messrs. H. f. Blakemore, of Rock
Island; G. c. Siecrist, of Monmouth,
and j. +. Blakemore, of Galesburg,
the official court reporters of the
Tenth judicial district, have had an
other disagreement. They came to
Rock Island last night, and related
their grievances to Judge Peasants,
having formerly stated them to
Judges Glenn and Smith. The ques-
ton at issue is the adjustment of
the assignments of the sterogra-
piers in the district.
Several years ago the gentlemen
were assigned as follows: H. E,
Blakemore, Rock Island and Mercer
county circuit court, and all but the
February term of the Henry county
circuit court; C. c. Siecrist, Hender-
son and Warren counties, the Octo-
Der term of Knox county and the
February term of the Henry county
circuit court, and j. E. Blakemore
received the remaining terms in Knox
county. The Knox county bar has
petitioned thatJ. f. Blakemore be as
signed all the Knox county terms.
and MIR. Siecrist is willing to lose
the Knox county term he has if he
receives some compensation in an
other direction.
The three reporters went to Gales.
burg today to hold another confer.
ence with Judge Smith, and later or
Judges Smith, Glenn and Peasants
will meet and assign the work to the
satisfaction of all.
