ANOTHER DEAL ON.
That Involving an Important
Business Corner.
SYNDICATE BEING FORMED

Handsomo Block VIII Eventually He the
Result of the Contamination OF the
Plan Now Under Consideration a. Soon
NJ Leases are Disposed or
Another deal is on involving the
real estate surrounding the south
west corner of Third avenue and
Twentieth street. one of the most
promising business sites in the CITY,
and which if consummated will re-
suit in the erection there of fine
commercial block much earlier than
originally anticipated. When the
present options, heretofore referred
to, were secured on the corner and
the sale made of the adjoining prop
erty running half way across the
block west from Twentieth, it was
with the expectation that one of our
business men would come into pos
session of all the land included
forthwith. and that he would retain
it until such time as he should be
disposed to erect q massive block for
his business. The transaction also
anticipated the obtaining of the
Dimick block on Twentieth street,
for which conditional option was
secured. but this was eventually can
celed.
Present Plans
Now the plans concerning the To-
cality have been altered somewhat,
and instead of the original intention,
a syndicate to be composed of four or
five citizens is being formed to take
up all the options and titles of the
property from Twentieth street west
to the Dimick livery stable and erect
as soon as pending leases have ex-
pired a modern and model business
block four or five stories high with
store rooms on the first floor and
Offices above.
The corner, as said, is one of the
most promising in the city. and if
the designs now in contemplation
are carried out. they will have an
important bearing on our entire bus
mess center.
The amount involved in the &C.
quirement of title will be about $1S,-
900 on the property of Henry
Willms, Peter Sommers and John
Huss. The gentlemen identified
with the negotiations are: E. w.
Hurst, f. H. Guyer, l.. S. McCabe,
F. c. Denkmann and w. H. Mar

MT. Ament and His Views.

The failure on the part of Supt. of
Schools Ament to establish that
opinions attributed to him by The
ARGUS were absolutely false" should
serve to satisfy that gentleman of
two things-cne that he is not such a
very big man ina little town as he
has SO regarded himself, and as in the
position that he fills he is amenable
to criticism both in his views aud in
his methods, and the other that Rock
Island schools have always enjoyed
the reputation of being among the
best in the state.
There is no institution which
stands SO near the hearts of the peo-
pie as the public school system, and
no city has expended more money or
exhibited more pride in improving
them to the fullest extent than Rock
Island has. Good school buildings
with governing system abreast
OF the times. if not in ad-
vance, constitutes the best re-
fiex Of the tendency of the peo-
pie OF any community. The ARGUS
means to exhibit no evidence of un-
due egotism when it maintains that
1t has always been the consistent
champion of our common schools
and the improvement of their char
acter. Feeling the pride and inter-
est that it does in their condition it
has been careful to make no misrep-
resentation concerning them or
those connected with them, but it
will continue to reserve the right to
comment in its own way with refer
ence to those identified with them.

FURNISH NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS.
The business Has Grown to Great Propo
tions In New York.

The Business Has Grown to Great Proper
tons In New York.
There is a peculiar industry in Goth
am which has grown to astonishing pro-
portions. This is the business of furnish
ing newspaper clippings to individuals,
firms and corporations. There are half a
dozen OF these concerns in New York,
which supply customers not only in the
United States, but in all parts Of the
world. One Of these newspaper clipping
bureaus received an order from the Ha-
waiian government to send President
Dole all the notices, editorials, cartoons
and other published matter regarding
Hawaii, its government and its affairs.
Every prominent author, actor, poll
tician and professional man is now a
subscriber to one or more of the clip
ping bureaus, and a busy man finds the
system very convenient, for he is ena-
bled, as it were, to read his newspapers
by proxy.
The manager ola New York clipping
bureau in speaking Of the p%eculiaritics
Of his business said yesterday: MANY
Of our customers are folks with faGs
and hobbies. A man sent us an order
recently for all items about two headed
calves, three legged chickens and other
monstrosities. A leading politician or
dered 100 Memorial day addresses, from
which he could compile a Fourth of Ju-
~ Grafton which he had engaged to de-
liver. Society bellies are beginning to
make s%crapbooks of their newspaper
notices, and the custom will doubtless
become a regular social, fad in time.
The wives Of public men are among the
best patrons Of the clipping bureaus.
About the strangest order we have is
that Of a dealer in tombstones and mon
uments. He takes all the death notices"

A New Race of Roses perpetua,.

The Gardeners Chronicle calls atten-
ton to a new race of roses which has
been introduced by some Paris growers.
They belong to the Polyantha group
that is to say, they bear their flowers in
trusses. The new roses have the advan-
tage over the others Of being .'perpet-
ual," and consequently they flower con
tinuously all through the summer. This
advantage they owe to their origin, a
natural cross (croisement naturel), OBJ
served in the Lyons gardens, between
the flowers Of the first specimens of
Polyantha introduced from Japan and
some hybrid perpetual roses. By repeat,
ed and careful selections, a new race Of
s has been produced which, like IL
nuals, terminate, flower and produce
seeds in less than a year. The term
"dwarf''i is justified by the height, which
in adult plants is only about 20 inches.
The flowers are single, s%emidouble or
double, in almost equal proportion, and
present almost all the variations of color
observed in cultivated roses. Flowering
commences in the first year, and even
a few months after sowing. This pre-
cocity is one Of the most remarkable and
interesting features Of this new type

GREAT ANXIETY.
The Sit In Cuba Ia Admitted to I've
Very Grave.

The Situation In Cuba Ia Admitted to I've
Very Grave.
HAVANA, July 24.-Great anxiety has
prevailed here in all circles and news
from the province of Santiago de Cuba
is awaited with great apprehension.
On July IL the insurgents under the
command of Mendeoi, burned the vii.
lage Of Gumata and the farm Of Gui-
mata in the district Of M~anzanillo. The
insurgents have also burned the village
of Habanero in the province of Puerto
Principe.
A person who has arrived at Man
Bayamo says that on Thursday last he
heard forty cannon shots and on
tinued firing from a large body Of in
fantry. The firing is supposed to have
been from the column commanded by
General Suarez Valdez, which is on its
way from Bayamo to Holguin, in the
province Of Santiago de Cuba, for he is
known to have engaged the insurgents
on Thursday last. Reinforcements
of 5000 troops having arrived at Man.
z~anillo, the body Of men from the city
Of Santiago de Cuba and 5000 more
troops left Immediately for Bayama.
Captain General Martinez de Cam
pos, with troops from Hoiguin and Tu-
mas. had at his disposal last Friday
a force of about 1000.
M Dnnying the Gravity.
But there is no denying the fact that
the situation is very grave. The in
surgents have received reinforcements
from different parts of the province of
Santiago de Cuba and it is reported
that Maxine Gomez has arrived at the
front and taken command of the insur.
gent forces as general chief.
According to private advices received
here, the insurgents have united their
forces at Corojo, south Of Bayamo and
Manzanillo, in the province Of Santi-
ago de Cuba and about midway be-
tween those two places, and they are
said to have the intention of burning
Bayamo, Veguita, Yara and Manzan-
lilo, and if the sugar planters refused to
pay contributions to the insurgents
army, the leaders Of the revolutionists
threaten to burn all the plantations in
the Manzanillo districts. The insur-
gent leader. Solano. has died in the
province of Santa Clara of wounds
which he received recently in an en-
gagement with the Spanish troops.
