SOME FAST TRAIN TIME.

An interesting feature Of railroad
life IS the way engineers of the differ

the capabilities Of their respective
companies to make time records.

any other attache. but he is Just as

Fast Runs on the Rock Island.
The publication OF this announce.
ment has set Rock Island engineers to
insisting that their own road does a.
well as that frequently and does not
say anything about it. "Why it has
become a regular thing for us to clip
off a record" said one, sin fact we are
getting so accustomed to it that We
don't say anything about it at all.

The Rock Island has inaugurated
a scheme to ascertain the prefer
ence of it's patrons with reference
TO the eating question. Heretofore
one had to shell out dollar no mat
ter how much it required to satisfy
the appetite-nothing less than a
meal could be ordered. This rule
created considerable displeasure
among passengers and has resulted
in the company deciding to give the
European style a trial. If after a
reasonable length OF time it proves
satisfactory it will be continued.
The scheme has been started on train

evening. On these diners you can
not contract for meal; you simply
order as your appetite dictates, and
settle accordingly.

SELECTS A NEW LEADER.
Msjor ingalls, Retired by the Sixth Regi
ment-said win His Successor.

Capt. W. +. Baldwin was chosen
major of the Sixth regiment Of the
Illinois National Guards at the cleo
tion held in Moline last evening,
succeeding Major Ingalls,. of Sub
lette, who was a strong candidate
for reelection. the new officer
comes from Dixon, and although yet
a comparatively young man, he
stands high among his comrades as a
fearless conscientious and cool
headed adviser in business as well as
military affairs. and the important
duties Of his office are known to have
been placed in competent hands.
Mr.. Baldwin has been in the service
about twelve years.
There were several candidates for
the majorship. but only three were
given passing consideration in the
ballotiDg: Capts. McGur. of Gales
burg, and Baldwin, Of Dixon, and
Major Ingalls,, of Sublette. The
election was attended by q COM
missioned officers, representing the
several cities embodied in the regi-
ment, those alone being entitled to
vote on the election of a major. The
cities included in the Sixth regiment
are: Rock Island, Moline. Gales
burg. Cambridge. La Noble, Geneseo.
Dixon. Morrison. Sterling, Freeport.
Sublette and Monmouth. The ma
jor's term of office is five years. The
duties OF the office require careful
attention, as the regiments welfare
depends largely on the man in that
position.
The election was attended BY
Lieuts. Will Johnston and Charles

COLLEGE. CUT.
President OLSON Of Augustana
Writes a Note.
TO REDUCE SALARIES.

Says the Matter VIII BE- COnsidored in =
Dssnifed and Respected Manner and In
Inmates That Reports Of the Eject Have
Beea Ovcrdrawn.
The following card was received
at The Argos office last evening, ac-
companied by q note from President
OLSON, of Augustana college. re-
questing that it be published:
1.-The recent inquiry addressed by
the board Of directors Of Augustana
College and Theological Seminary to
the general faculty of the institution
as to the sentiments Of the professors
in reference to n contemplated tenn
porary reduction of their salaries.
has been received and given prelimi-
nary consideration and will be taken
under further advisement in . dig
nified and respectful manner.
1.-The reports OF this matter in the
papers are simply burlesques.
"Augustana College. Rock Island,
Feb. s. o. OLSON. President"
AS far as DR.. Olsson's assumption
of the reports of the proposed cut in
salaries at the college being bur-
lesques are concerned. 1t is very ap-
parent that he is not thoroughly in
formed as to the feeling of the faculty.
The fact that the heads Of many Of
the departments of the institution
are most vigorously opposed to the
suggested reduction and that an en-
iphatic demurrer will be entered
against such course does not indi-
cate that such an attitude will carry
other than q dignified and respectful
conduct, nor is it conclusive evidence
that reports of the matter are neces-
sarily burlesque. As far as The AR
GUS source of Information is con-
cerned it is perfectly satisfied that it
is reliable. and it is further con-
WINGED that it was furnished in the
same spirit that it was solicit ed
without the least spirit of prejudice
to the institution.
Chairs May be Vacant.
Furthermore. The ARGUS, from its
careful investigation of the effects
of the curtailment proposition, lie
satisfied now that the feeling is
much more intense than the learned
doctor realizes, and unless there is a
marked change in the sentiment of
the faculty he will discover that il
the board of regents we're to insist
on submission to the reduction, that
some of the chairs of the institution
would be quickly vacated. and be ii
said that some Of them might not be
as capably filled as they now are.
