HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

Back Number OF Paper Reviswlng Cuban
Conditions as they Exist To-day.
A constant reader of The ARGUS
residing in South Rock Island has
brought to this Office a copy of The
Argos published April go. 1859. in
which the burden of the Geographic
intelligence is the news OF the reoel-
lion then prevailing in Cuba, in which
there are rumors of wars and other
sturbances in England and France
The coincidence is that the same gen.
eral conditions prevailing abroad
then, exist today. The spirit of un.
rest in Europe is indicated. The
headings of the telegraphic budget
reflect the events of the day in the
following manner: ..Rumors of Ap-
preaching War;" France and Eng
land Will Oppose the Annexation Of
Cuba;" .iOpinions of the English
Press on the Cuban Rebellion;'
Spain Putting Forth Vigorous Ell.
forts" IAN Active Campaign Com
mencing." etc.
The uprising on the oppressed little
isle had at that time reached the same
stage that it has today. The crisis had
arrived, but the patriots seem nearer
the attainment Of their liberty now
than they we're then. They were
crushed then, but will they be now
So far as this is concerned, it is q
case where history may not repeat
itself.

Prospects for Beginning Construction.
MIR. Blair has just returned from
Chicago, where he went after the
meeting the Rock Island council
Monday night, and he expects to go
to st. Louis this evening. The prep
arations for the commencement of
work on the new bridge are keeping
him very busy these days. One set
of plans is in the hands of the stone
men at Stone City. so that they can
have their material ready as soon as
it is wanted. The advance force Of
Carriers men is expected next week.
so says Mr.. Blair. Their tools and
machinery are said to be on the way
here from st. Louis now, and may
arrive auy day. Altogether. every
is given to the pub
lie to believe that active work will
soon be in progress, and that ere
another winter has rolled around the
structure, it will be well along to-
ward completion, with the draw
span alone to be built while the river
is closed to navigation next winter.
The preliminary details are being
rapidly cleared up so that there will
be no bitches or delays, after work
is actively commenced.

Mrs. Alice Shannon Granted Divorce and

There was one divorce among the
matters disposed of by Judge Peas
ants in the circuit court today.
Alice Shannon said that she could
no longer withstand the cruel treat
ment of her husband, Frank Shan
non. whose unhusbandlike and I'M
fatherly conduct, made life to her
self and her two little children one of
misery. The couEt considered the
lady's testimony strong enough to
justify a decree and with it she was
granted SIS per month alimony.
Shannon originally began proceed
ings for divorce after his wife had
him arrested for abandonment. He
charged infidelity. Mrs. Shannon
thereupon filed cross bill and it was
given precedence. The suit COM
menced by Mr.. Shannon was dis

We are $50 out of date, they say,
Ned and /;
We love in an old fashioned way,
Long since gone by.
He says am his helpmate true
In everything,
And I-well, will own to you
He is my king.
We met in no romantic way
'Twixt "glow and gloom"
He wooed me on q winter day
And ina room.
Yet, through life's hours of stress and
storm,
When griefs befell,
Love kept our small home corner warm
And all was well.
Ned thinks no woman like his wife
But let that pass;
Perhaps we view the dual life
Through roseate glass;
Even if the prospect be not bright,
We hold it true
The heaviest burdens may grow light
When shared by two.
Upon the gilded scroll of fame,
Emblazoned fair,
cannot hope to read the name
proudly bear;
Bat happy in their even flow,
The years glide by.
We are behind the times, we know,
