G. w. Negus Buys a PAGER that
Sets a Mark.
A HOT RACE Is TIE RESULT

c. w. Negus bought . PAGER over
at Orion recently which has been the
source of NO end of rivalry among the
local owners of fast stock in the
roadster class. At first mono of
those who can size horses gait as
far as they can hear the c lex of his
hoofs on the pavement viewed with
any degree of suspicion the reeutry
OF Charles Negus into the field Of
local Workmanship. For some
time those who pride them.
selves in the possession OF q
good sample Of equine stock have
gone along in the even tenor Of their
way. each one pridiug himself on the
superior qualities of his own animal.
But when Negus brought his new
PAGER over from Orion he caused bad
feeling right away. He INDUCED in
little brushes, first with one and then
with another until he began to be
talked about. but nothing serious
happened until he bumped up against
Fred Kinney. There was couple of
lively spurts in which Fred was
given the dust. and then the trouble
began. Fred issued a challenge.
N.gus accepted. Then Bob Harper
wanted to get in. SO did John OIL
weller and j. G. Junge, and then they
induced DR.. Eyster to say he wanted
to take part. A purse was formed,
the old fair grounds track selected as
the place and the time set for o'clock
this afternoon.
WIN Negus be There?
At last accounts Negus, who con-
siders it is his horse against the
field, and that there is q combine
against him due absolutely to jeal-
ousy, was not disposed to race at all.
He told an ARGUS representative he
was going out of town. When asked
if his PAGER had q record before he
bought him, he said: "He has never
had a record. except the one made
here in the past week or 80, when
have put all the owners of fast
horses here to sleep. I've shown
them all q trick. and beat Fred Kin
ney twice in succession in fair test.
My horse has never been on a track,
but he has got it in him to beat any,
thing around here, and they all know
it."
Those who pretend to know claim
that Negus will show up all right
this afternoon, but there are others
who say that he will not.
All all events there is prospect of
some fun out at the track, if the
weather permits.

TROLLEY PARTY PELTED.
Hoodlums Smear Ladies' and Others
with Eggs.

HoodIums Smear Ladies' and Others
with Eggs.
An outrage was perpetrated on the
trolley party given under the auspices
of G. J. Dempsey Forum last even
ing. As the gaily illuminated train
was passing through Center Station
in South Rock Island, it was sub
jected to fusilade of Anticipated hen
fruit. which smeared the dresses of
several of the ladies and the clothes
OF others. while one lady was struck
squarely in the face with one Of the
obnoxious missiles. The train was
running rapidly or it might have
been possible to have stopped and
made an attempt to apprehend the
guilty wretches who were concealed
in the darkness.
The Tri-City Railway company is
greatly incensed over the incident
aud offers reward of $25 for any in
formation that will lead to the arrest
OF those committing the dastardly
trick.

Jay Andrews In Town.

Jay Andrews, who tossed crooked
ones for the Rock Island team when
it captured the Western association
penrant two seasons ago, tarried in
the city few hours last evening on
his way to Cedar Rapids, with the
Des Moines club, which he is twirl-
ing for this year. Jay is the same
old jolly fellow OF yore and manages
to hold on to his usual amount OF
avoirdupois. although it is evident
that he has been working hard lately.
He is doing excellent pitching for the
Hawkeye boys. He has been hold.
ing down short until recently, when
he was put into the box, and he has
not lost a game as yet. The Des

JOYS OF JUNE

June is the month Of roses, the happy season of
flowers when all nature is glad But there are
other joys, for instance getting nearly two
dollars worth of groceries for what one dollar
used to buy. That's what makes home happy.
There Is ONE place and ONLY ONE where
the measure and quality keeps the same, while
the prices keep getting lower. Shields 1t is who
keeps them guessing.

'ARlFF POLICIES CONTRAsTED.

For the first two fiscal years of the so-called
Mckinley Tariff the receipts from customs
were $3.50 SO1 $50 Al this writing the Wilson
Tariff act has been in force for nearly two full
fiscal years: but the total receipts, actual and
estimated cannot exceed 1912. Oh A steady
deficit constantly depicting the resources Of
the Government and trenching even upon its
gold reserve has brought about public distruSt
and business disaster. II has, too necesSitated
the sale Of S2G2 ,VD0, 900 OF bonds, thereby in

VIII be remembered that in no year Of the
more than a quarter OF century Of cOntinu-
Gus Republican Administrator succeeding the
Civil War, when our industries were dsinte-
grated and all the conditions Of business were
more or less disturbed. the National debt
Increased by single dollar; ii was. On the con-
trary. steadily and rapidly diminished. In such
a condition OF affairs this, II is idle to argue
against the necessity of some sort Of change
In our fiscal laws. The Den ocratic party de-
clares for remedy by direct taxation upon
