The woods where the red der run;
The woods where the rabbits scatter,
Al sound of the hunters gun,
Where the cool fresh wind comes stealing,
And the crisp and brown leaves lie,
And the caUnt trees stand revealing

The woods where the squirrels chatter;
or the Office dim and musty,

Where the foul air is dusty
And the buildings almost meet.

To stick at a sorlid trade;

Bitten by q Rattlesnske.

While engaged in moving weeds
on the Hennepin canal banks near
Lock sc yesterday, Henry Simmer
ZACH was suddenly bounced upon by
an ugly rattlesnake. which buried its
poisonous fang in his right leg
before he had an opportunity to es-
cape from its presence. A fisher
man fastened to Simmerlach's as
sistance and drew out the poison as
best as he could by suction, the
wound being afterward bandagcd,
and the bitten man started to Milan
for medical aid. 1t seems a portion
of the poison entered the veins and
on the way Simmerlsch became
deathly sick. his almost PROSTATE
condition attracting the attention of
another gentleman, who placed him
in a wagon and hurried to Milan.
There DIR. Virgins administered the
necessary remedies, and although
Simmerlach's chances for recovery
were decidedly doubtful at first, he
gradually improved. and by night
the phy sisian considered him out of
danger.

Disgrace.

The Rock Island levee is a dis
grace to the city. 1t is more so now
than it has ever been before in the
city's history. People coming to the
landing on the ferry are readily i'm
pressed with this fact. The appear
ance is unsightlv and the impression
is anything but favorable.
Privileges granted by the munich
pality have been abused. The levee
has became a general dumping
ground. Heaps Of sand and stone
are the most noticeable objects to
one approaching the landing, and to
the stranger the natural beauty of
the river front is apt to be obscured
by the spectacle alluded to.
To city blessed with the river
advantages that Rock Island has
possessing the facilities that other
cities less fortunately situated covet,
the levee should be as the front yard,
the door step, the best entrance.
This is not the case here, and the
neglect that is apparent is that it is
not, and should be remedied. De-
sirable opportunity 20 unload should
be given 10 boats, but there are other
places along the river front than
those now made use of. Aside from
the appearance given to the city the

the East Moline manufacturing site,
and they have been running around
trying to verify the same, and, failing

of the announcement, they have be-
come saucy again. Never entire
~ recovering from the shock of
The ARGUS having skinned them ON
the first publication of anything tan
gible relating to she actual purpose
OF the East Moline project in the es-
Establishment of the first factory there,
this somewhat mild recurrence has
produced an effect that is really
startling. Not having located the
source OF news pertaining to devel-
opments at East Moline and intimat-
ing that they have been industrious
in their research to keep themselves
posted and that all that they can
find out at the office of the company
is that it deprecates premature ex-
posute of its plans, they fall upon
Bemiss, the boomer. The fact that he
has been putting up in Rock Island,
has stuck in their craws from the
first, and now. putting this and that
t'gether. they have put Bemiss down
as the "squealer." Poor, mild tenn
pered, unoffending Bemiss has been
letting the cat out Of the bag, and
thus grievously offending the press
of the proud city that seeks to claim
him boots and bride. 1t would
seem almost unnecessary to attempt
to vindicate Bemiss of so grave a
charge, but The ARGUS will never
theless of its own volition, and for
sake of his reputation in proud Mo
line, state that he is not guilty. He
is as innocent as q new born babe, as
well in thought, act and inclination,
and his feelings toward the Moline
papers are as pare as the air he
breathes. and he is pretty particular
about that by the way. He is guilty
of no offense against society but he is
SOou IccucIs anu uc uOH care
who knows it. and with the example
of the Moline papers before him he
is not taking any chances on dys-
peptic requirements.
Rejsice With Them.
As far as The ARGUS is concerned,
it is sorry the Moline papers are so
touchy about the interest it takes in
East Moline. 1t cannot though,
even upon the love it bears for it's
professional brethren there, deny
that it rejoiceth in the fact that new
industries are to be located in a COM
munity whose prosperity is our COM
mon happiness; nor can it restrain the
emotions that prompt the disclosure
of what it knows about further evil
denees of our new industrial center
without waiting to see how far the
Moline papers are posted.

KNOCKED SENSELESS,
Charles Mcdonald Has IN Accident OF
Which He Knows Nothing.

| Charles Mcdonald Has IN Accident of
| Which He Knows Nothing.
Knocked into insensibility by what
it is conJectured was a collision with
| some sort Of vehicle, Charles, the
17-year-old son of MIR. and Mrs. W.
c. Mcdonald, 1O7 Fourth avenue, ar
rived home on his bicycle about
o'clock last evening. his features
showing evidence of an accident
but he was unable to explain whether
anything had happened to him. His
bicycle. too, was somewhat dam
aged, but the young mans memory
seemed blank. The questioning by
his parents brought out no enlight-
eminent as to how and where he was
injured. DR.. Craig was summoned
and administered for his injuries.
The physician attributed the young
mans mental condition to the stun
ming blow which he received, but
anticipated nothing serious. Charles
was yet unconscious of yesterdays
happenings this morning. but is
gradually recovering and occa-
sionally can remember an inkliug
Of the affair, which he believed
was a collision with vehicle.
Mrs. Mcdonald stated that the
boy was subject to dizzy spells
and very nervous, and she was in
clined to believe that this, together
with the fright and stun of the COLI
sion, if such it was, was alone re-
sponsible for his condition.
Third Avenue Accident,
An accident occurring on Third
avenue. near Twenty-third street,
yesterday afternoon, when a buggy
and bicycle collided, is supposed to
be the one in which Charles was in
jured. The wheel rider was picked
up in the street delirious, and
after attempts at resuscitation went
his way. AS Charles had been to
Davenport it is not unlikely that this
is how aud where he met his unfor-
tunate accident.
