MEETING OF ADJUTANT GENERALS.

Gen. Reece Going to Washington to Con
fer With Heads of National Guards OF
other States and Militia Committee OF
the House-Ordnance Stores and Camp
EquIpaGe as Property OF United States
Adjt. Gen. j. n. Reece, of Illinois,
is planning To 60 to Washington
to attend conference which
will he held on the 18th between the
adjutant generals of the different
states of the union and militia
committee of the house.
The meeting is one that will be
watched with much interest i'll nation
al guard circles in Illinois as also in
other interested states, inasmuch as
it concerns the improvement of the ar
mament of the militia, so greatly de-
sired by the national guardsmen of
the nation.
A bill which meets the wishes of the
adjutant generals in most respects has
been introduced in the house by Mr..
Starks, a mem Der of the militia COM
mittee of that body.
Provisions of Measure.
The measure proposes to approPri-
dIc fZ,OOOb OOU duuudlly lOI IlIC puI
pose of providing arms, ordnance
stores, quartermaster stores and camp
equipage for issue to the militia. This
appropriation is to be appOrtioned
under the direction of the secretary
of war among the several states and
territories, according to the number
of senators and representatives to
which each is entitled in the federal
congress. 1t is further provided that
the purchase or manufacture of arms,
ordnance stores, quartermaster stores
and camp equipage for the militia
shall be made under the direction of
the secretary of war, as such arms,
stores or equipage are now provided
for the use of the regular army. They
are to be the property of the United
States, but to be distributed to differ
ent governors and be annually ac-
counted for.
Over in Iowa renewed interest is
being taken in the national guard
since the brigade system of organiza-
ton has been abandoned and bill
gone through the house allowing each
private 10 cents an hour at drills.

GROWS UP WITH THE WEST,
Rise of John ;. Hickey, Who Left Rock

Rise of John ). Hickey, Who Left Rock
Island in 1869.
John S. Hickey left Rock Island 81
years ago, accepting the advice of Hor-
ace Greeley to young men, go west
and grown with the country" When
Mr.. Hickey left Rock Island he was a
poor boy. All he had was plenty of
am bition and energy. Today he is
wealthy and superintendent of the
foundry department of the Ana
conda Copper Mining company, at
Anaconda. Mont, the chief property
of Marcus DAILY, the copper king"
Mr.. Hickey is enroute for home, after
a visit to Washington and other east
ern states. He stopped off in Rock
Island to see his aunt, Mrs. Ann Dolly,
and other relatives. 1t is the first
time he has been here since his depar-
ture 81 years ago. The city has
changed, and so have the faces
of the friends of Mr.. Hickey's
youth and there were very few
that he could recognize, aud few
who recognized or remembe red him.
Among those, however, who knew
him at first glance were Phil Mitchell
and Richard Champion. Mr.. Hickey
did not forge; The ARGUS in his calls,
for as a boy he worked in the office of
The ARGUS. He was employed in the
composing room, the press room and
in the circulating apartment fol
lowing the paper from it's makeup to
its delivery. He still has warm
spot for Rock Island, although his
home and family and property are in
the far west, and he hopes to be allie
to drop in the city again some day.
Mr.. Hickey is not discussing the
Daly-Clark senatorial contest, because,
he says, he is not in politics.

FAIR IN FULL SWING.
Postponed Inaugural Exercises
Held Last Night at Ar
mory Hall.
SPEECH BY MAYOR MO0NOOHIE.

CongratuIates Industrial Association for
Insight Displayed in business Transac-
lions and Upon Successful Character of
Exhibition. w. Cavsnaugh Tells of
the Efforts Made to Secure the Home.
The largest crowd that has attended
the Industrial fair this year turned
out last night to hear the speeches
that had heen postponed from Mon
day night, and to enjoy the many
ether attractions offered.
Mayor William McCOnochie was the
first speaker, being introduced by j.
W. Cavanaugh. He began by con-
graduating the association upon the
successful character of the fair, upon
the business insight manifested by the
association in the selection of the site
for its building, and upon the energy
and financial ability displayed in the
reduction of the debt from $50, 600 to
$40, 900 in so short a time. The mayor
launched into the future, predicting
the victories that will be won through
the Capitalization of labor interests,
and reviewed the past in order to YER
ify his predictions.
James Cavanaugh was next intro
duced. He spoke of the object of the
fair, recounting the efforts that have
been made by the association in the
reduction of the debt. The home, when
finally completed, is to be a model one
and all but the first floor entirely
given up to the use of labor organiza-
lions. There will be reading rooms,
smoking rooms, bath rooms, gymna-
SUM, halls in which the unions can
meet, etc. 1t will be to the laboring
man what the Y. Nj. G. A. is to the
average youth. In conclusion, the
speaker urged all working men to
affiliate with some labor organization
and do their share toward the compile
ton of this home.
Musical Features.
After the speeches came the music
cal act by Zeignor and Clinton. First
a flute and piccolo duet, then n per-
Torrance on an instrument resemb
ling q calliope called an organaphone,
after which followed a sleigh bell
solo, and one on Nylophone, con-
structed of blocks of wood, all of
which the audience appreciated in
the highest degree. Buck and wing
dancing by Charles Golf closed the
performance.

DRYING preparations simply develo

Drying preparations simply develop
dry catarrh; they dry up the secre-
tions which adhere to the membrane
and decomPose, causing far more
serious trouble than the ordinary fern
of catarrh. Avoid all drying inhalants
and use that which cleanses, soothes
and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such
a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold

AMUSEM ENTS.

In What Happened to Jones'
which come to the Harper's theatre
Saturday evening, George IL. Broad
hurst has provided a farce that pro-
vokes genuine and healthy laughter
it's situations are so extremely humor-
Gus, and it's lines so bright and genu-
the groundwork for the play is quite
simple, but there is not dull mo-
ment from the opening to the fall of
the curtain.
That it pays to keep faith with the
public accounts for the tremendous
success which has always attended
Lewis Morrison's grand production
of Faust" to be seen at Harper s
theatre tonight. Every season since
this attraction was originated some
thing new in the way of effect, cleo
trical, scenic and otherwise, has been
introduced until the production was
presumed to be without the least
thing lacking and without room for
the infusion of new ideas; in short.
as near perfection as possible.
Now comes the report that Morrison 5
new Faust" this season will be found
much changed from first to last act,
with some of the most startling cleo
trical and general effects ever at
tempted in its production. Promises
from this attraction have always been
kept, and therefore opportunity to
view Morrison's new Faust is
looked forward to with pleasure. 1t
is 10 be regretted, however, that this
will be the last of the many success
full seasons this play has enjoyed.

CHICAGO MARKETS,
PRODUCE.

Chicago. Dec. 6.-January wheat
opened A@Ac lower, at 71A@71Ac, in
f1uenced by a decline at Liverpool. A bit
$50 loads of wheat and 100, 900 barrels o.
flour, rallied the price to 71k@71Bc dur
ing the first hour, out the bulge did not
hold. Considerable long wheat came
during the forenoon, and although the
afternoon saw less liquidation, the lib
eral receipts and lack of outside support
kept the price on the downward road.
At 7OAc, which was reached about /
O'Clock, the market steadied and reacted
to Tic, shorts taking profits, but the hope
was o lost and the close was weak at
the bottom, B@1c under yesterday, at
70Ac.
Corn was strong all forenoon, but
eased off some later in sympathy with
the wheat weakness. Shorts We're still
on the anxious seat, as today's receipts
-13S cars-included only three of CON
tract grade. Country offerings were still
small, although more liberal than they
were last week. December sold between
37A@3Sc and closed 1c higher, at 37Ac.
May closed a shade higher, at 367sc.
Oats were again very dull. May closed
Mc lower, at 32Ac.
Provisions advanced early on light hos
receipts, a fair outside demand and local
buying. Later a heavy local operator
turned seller and most of the early az
vance was lost. January pork closed
2Ac over yesterday, lard 21sc higher and
ribs 71ac up.
