Drurv, Jan. 16.-Editor of THE AR
GUS: We have in our township what
is known as the "Drurv toll road. y
Now, while many are led TO believe
especially after reading the report of
the county board committee which
inspected the roadD that we have
fine road, must say that such is not
always the case. So far as the report
of the committee is concerned, it is
true enough. But why is it that the
road is inspected only when in fine
condition? If the supervisors want
to know what fine road we have let
them send their com mittee and inspect
the road now, and l think they,.will
change their minds. for there is not
another piece of road in Drury town
ship as rough as the toll road at
the present writing and has been for
several days And l think it about
time something be done about it.
This is not the only time it has been
so. nor am l alone in thinking as do

REPRESENTATIVE BEFORE CONGRESS

Large Gathering of the Members of the
City's New Commercial Organization
Last Night-An Address by President
Frank w. Bahnscn- Money for Improve
ment of Harbor.
The initiative was taken bv the
Rock Island Club last night in the
matter OF securing proper recognition
for Rock Island arsenal in the allow
ance of increased appropriations for
manufacturing purposes there. 1t
was the first business session of the
club membership. 1t was held in the
spacious reception room of thu club
house. and not since the davs of the
Rock Island Business Mems associa-
| ton has there been more represeu-
tative gathering of the citv's business
| and professional men, striving with a
common object in view-the enhance
| ment of the industrial advantages of
| their community.
President Frank w. Bahnsen occu-
pied the chair. and after rapping for
| order, made Il short address, in which
| he impressed upon the members the
purposes for which they were banded
| together. He stated that the club
was organized two years ago. the
board of directors was elected ac-
cording to law, the club was incor-
poraied, and enjoyed all the benefits
bestowed upon corporations by the
law of Illinois. He said the primary
! objects of the organization were and
had always been, as stated in
the charter, to advance the
interests of Rock Island. secure prop
4 in ba 6
| atoms of public money, and encoIIr-
age. new industries. and to assist in
the general upbuilding of the city,
| President Bahnsen said it was appa-
| rent to all that the enthusiasm mani
| tested in the club was steadily grow
ing, as was the meH bership. and he
| impressed upon each one the necessity
of feeling a personal interest in the
| club; that the comforts and accommo
dations provided were for the equal
enjoyment of every member.
Sound Foundation.
The fact that the officers of the clu b
had been able to provide such home
without exhausting the limited re
sources was Indicative OF business-lik e
| methods from the outset and was an
assurance that the organization was
bailded on a sound foundation. 1t
should live on. the president said, and
endeavOr to obtain the preferment and
recognition for Rock Island in the
c lannels of trade that city of its
size was entitled to. He hoped that
the ladies', too, would interest them
selves in the club, and that the Daugh-
| tiers of the American Revolution and
other similar societies would accept
an invitation to hold their meeting s
| at the club house. Ia closing. Presi-
dent Bahnsen announced that an cleo
ton of Il board of directors would be
held Saturday. Jan. %. Several
tickets had already been placed in the
iield and it was evident that the
members had interested themselves
to the extent of seeing that good, eff
licient men should be placed at the
helm.

SYMPATHY FOR BoERS.
An Enthusiastic Meeting ut Grand Rapid.
Mich. Uader the United American
Tr0nsvAol League.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 19.-One
of the largest and most enthusiastic
meetings ever held here took place il
the Auditorium last night, under the
auspices of the United American
Transvaal league, recently organized
here. The programme was unique,
sneakers having been selected from
the various nationalities, and each
speaker was preceded by national an.
thems rendered by musical organi.
cations of his nationality and in his
native tongue. The local division, An
cient Order of Hibernians, turned out
in force, but they were outnumbered
by the Polish clubs and almost
equaled by the German turner's and
members of the Arbeiterbund. The
speeches all expressed sympathy, adj
miration and hope of victory for the
Beers, and asking President McKin
ley to offer the good offices of the
United States in their behalf. The
national ode of the Transvaal repub-
lie was. sung again and again, many
parties of Hollanders continuing the
singing on the streets while on their
way home.

SILVER REPUBLICANS.
PArty Leaders Adopt an Address Saying
That the Old Republican Party Has
FOrsaken Ita Principles.

Washington, Dec. 19.-After the
passage yesterday by the house of the
financial bill the silver republican
leaders in the city held meeting and
adopted an address setting forth their
views as to it's effect and saying: In
the spring of 1897, the undersigned
took the steps leading to the organi-
zation Of the silver republican party.
Against the betrayers of the repub-
icanism of Abraham Lincoln that
party resolved to wage unending war.
To-day the necessity. for, its work is
more evident than ever. Come with
us and help us. We believe that the
highest devotion to the republicanism
you once venerated demands that you
oppose to the uttermost the present
tendencies of the party which still
wears the name but has forsaken the
principles of its heroic days.
The appeal is signed by Charles A.
Towne, chairman committee; Henry
NJ. Teller, r. F. Pettigrew. Frank J.
Cannon, EDGAR Wilson, Charles S.
Hartman, John Shafroth, Fred T. Du-
bOis, chairman ex-committee.

CHICAGO LABOR TROUBLES.
Indications Are That the Threatened Lock.
out In the Building Trades VIII
BE Averted.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-An agreement
was entered into between the building
contractors of Chicago and the union
labor representatives yesterday, un-
der which any adjustment arrived at
by the Joint conference for the settle
ment of the differences in the build
ing trades will be binding upon the
central bodies of each and their af-
tiliated organizations. Another inn
portant move was the decision to do
away with the rule of some of the
unions, which limits the amount of
work to be done by man in an eight
hour day. This rule has applied par
ticularly to the plumbers, steam fit
tiers, plasterers and fathers, and has
been the basis of many labor contro-
-versies. Another joint meeting will
be held Wednesday, when the sym
pathetic strike, restrictions in the use
of machinery, the walking delegate
and the establishment of a permanent
board of arbitration to adjust any
trouble that may arise in the future
will be considered. The indications
are that the threatened lockout of al:
union labor January by the building
contractors association will be
ayerted,

LOSS IS HALF A MILLION.
Madrid. Mo.-Passengers Escaped, But
Much Cotton Was Burned

New Madrid, Mo-, Dec. 1s-The
steamer State of Kansas, of the Ten
nessee River Packet company, burned
to the waters edge early today while
lying at the foot of Main street. All
the passengers escaped, but several
hundred bales of cotton, considerable
freight and baggage was destroyed.
The total loss is estimated at $4,000.
The fire started in the front cabin
about a. M, when all the passengers
and most of the crew were asleep.
They were quickly awakened and all
gained the shore in safety just in time
to escape the flames. The landing
stage was burned away, but planks
were run out to the shore and the
passengers crossed on these. Some of
them had been awakened so suddenly
that they had not time to dress. They
wore nothing but their night dresses
and were shoeless and hatless.

The Travelling Live Stock Agent for the

Ranges In Fair Condition.

Denver, Col, Dec. 19.-W. P. An
lerson, travelling live stock agent for
the Santa Fe system, who has been
travelling over this section of the west
during the present storm period, said
yesterday: ga careful analysis of the
official weather reports, together with
advices to officials of railways center
ing in Denver and Pueblo and private
kilograms from cattle owners, con-
corning the storm of the past week
show that there is no occasion for
ringing the annual live stock alarm
bell. The cattle growers of the west
and especially along the line of the
Santa Fe. where 1 am more familiar.
have had from six to eight weeks
more OF excellent weather than in
1898, and reports show that other sec.
tions have been proportionately ia
vored. No unfavorable conditions ex-
list on any of the natural winter
