Rock Islanders who attended the
national democratic convention at
Chicago last week are circulating a
story at the expense Of one Of their
numb Der which leaves the impression
that he had never seen the electric
cars aud high buildings before.
The gentleman in question stands
a fraction over seven feet in his cot
ton socks. and was kept under con-
slant surveillance by Windy City
sleuths, who suspected him of being
the ..long" man. He is a man who
has been around bit. He was at
the republican convention at St.
Louis. Any how. while in Chicago he
and party Of friends were taking a
ride on the lake when he espied the
gambling department. He inspected
the various games and finally paused
before the ball throwing deal. But
he had better sense than to 90
against any OF these games. he
assured his friends, who were stand
ing in the background. just then a
smooth-looking man came up and
took hand in the game. He was
not all lucky and proposed to ''stick"
the Rock Islander for throw or two.
The latter bit. He won once, twice.
He winked at his friends and kept
doub ing his money. 1t only re-
quired a few throws until he was on,
s25. His lower jaw dropped and as
he slowly walked away the band
played ..Reuben Glue"

1t May Be ..Eagleriver..''

The following is taken from a Wash
ington dispatch to the Chicago Chronicle:
There is little subordinate depart
ment OF the government known as the
board on geographic names which is
making itself very unpopular out in
Wisconsin just now. 1t is to certain
extent, the function Of this board to make
itself unpopular, forits particular bust
ness is to change the names of towns,
rivers, islands, creellsand i'll fact any
thing that it takes d fancy to change.
In the course OF it's wanderings it
struck the town of Eau Claire and
promptly decided that no western city
had any business to part it's name i'll the
middle. 1t is accordingly the ultimatum
OF thesboard on geographic names that
the Wisconsin town shall hereafter wear
it's name pompadour fashion and go OH
it's furths r journey as Eahclaire.
1t is understood to be the intention of
this board to ''clese up all double-joint-
ed names. La Crosse, for instance, will
become Lacrosse, Fond du Lac will be-
come Fondulac, and with that title it
might as well be in fireplace it's name
signifies. What the board is going to do
when it gets around to New York, ST.
Louis, Sault st. Marie and Terre Haute,
nobody knows.
Theboardon geographic names was
constituted SO that uniform usage i'll re-
gard to geographic nomenclature and
photography should obtain throughout
the executive departments of the govern
ment. The decision of the board has
hitherto been final, but the Wisconsin
delegation has promised to rally to the
aid OF the threatened name of Fan Claire
