j. w. Cline. organizer for the In

There is 'contagion and death at the
Davenport Mile Track, and horses are
dying from it's dread effects. Irene
ID. racer of the PIG class. is dead
and she was a Davenport horse. or
rather mare, of great promise. The
that serious apprehensions are enter
tafn rn Inns WI hat
the disease is remains conjectural.
Accepting the Union as authority,
papers in the neigh borhood are already
beginning to refer to us as wicked
Rock Island" While none will doubt
that this city Is in no wise as black
as her accusers. yet the instance
shows how eagerly the false light in
which the morning paper has placed
the city is seized upon by rival cities
in an attempt to show that there are
influences for our good
works and advantages.
A radical change in the tempera-
ture is predicted by the weather bu-
reau tonight. A fall of at least So
deSreesis not unlikely, Judging from
present conditions and indications. |
This morning the cold wave flag was
ordered up with the promise of de-
cline to about 10 above zero. AT the |
time the change was announced as
probable, the therm ometer registered |
40 above, and at noon it was 40, |
showing that the atmospheric change |
that awaits us tonight is to amount |
almost to rapid transition from that
which borders on the summer to gen.
uine mid-winter conditions.
As sequence TO the woeful picture |
it drew for Rock Island in its issue of
yesterday, the Union gravely an
nounces this morning that things are |
not so bad here now. For such CRATE
full assurance from such a source due |
acknowledgement should be made, |
and the outside world will please be
guided accordingly. But the manner
in which the morning paper seeks to
impress upon Johnny Jones the obli-
cations he is under to it for diverting |
trade into his channels would be more |
effective, but for the fact, according |
to the versatile John, things have not
begun to come his way yet in the |
indicated by the Union. I'm
Mr.. Jones would, there
fore, like to have the aforesaid Union
give 'em another whirl.
