About-3 O'Clock this morning the
Rock Island police were called upon
by the Davenport authorities to arrest
a colored man who has been bootblack
at the Harper house and goes by the
name of "kid Harry" Officer Nc
Carthy placed him under arrest and
he was turned over to the Davenport

The trouble which led to the arrest
occurred at Rhodes place. on Fifth

holding a dance at Hibernian hall last
night, and kid Harry was in at
tendance He went into Rhodes
place and there met Fred Haak, Dav-
export roofer. who was not attending
the dance. The two got into trouble,
which ended in the negro drawing a
razor and slashing the white man in

this side. 1t was an hour before a
doctor could be secured to sew up

HORSES HAVE PINK EYE:
MANY GASES OF DISEASE

and the manner in which it affects the
patient, is almost exactly similar to the
grippe and its effect upon the human.
1t cannot properly be said to be
contagious, for it turks in the atmos-
phere, affecting an entire community
at once, and any horse is liable to be
afflicted without regard to location or
association with other animals already
in its clutches. The constitutional
condition of an animal has more TO do
with its liability to contract the dis
ease than any other circumstance.
The symptoms of pink eye vary
slightly, but the one most evident to
the ordinary observer is the soreness
and stiffness shown, the patient some
times being unable to walk or to rise
when down. Generally there is swell
ing Of the legs and sometimes Of ether
parts. Sometimes the animal will
eat and sometimes it viii not, but it
always loses flesh very rapidly. Or
dinarily a suspension from work with
good nursing will bring about cure
in time, but it is always wise TO con-
suit a competent veterinarian.

While it has been generally known
that the disease called pink eye
has been prevalent among horses
in this vicinity for several weeks,
and the press has. IN several
cases, referred TO it, there may be
some misrepresentation as to its ex-
tent, the danger it involves and the
manner in which it is communicated.
a prominent veterinarian in con-
vorsation with an ARGUS representa-
tive last evening. said that the dis
ease has been in the city about four
weeks and in that lime he has handled
about $50 cases. OF course other
veterinarians have also treated large
NUN Der of cases, and it seems that it
prevails for miles around. There
is no sign of abatement as yet,
and ii will probably continue for an
indefinite period. Few. if any, of the
cases in this chg have proved fatal,
and the veterinari. above referred to
stated that where n oderate care was
taken there is very httle danger.

The city council of Peru, ILL.,, has
taken cognizance of the fact that the
front gate, the hammock and the side
porch have failed to give the young
people of that town ample facilities
for their propensity for indiscriminate
spooning. AS action had to be taken
in protection of the people of Peru
who had got past that stage, the coun-
ell adopted an ordinance providing as
follows:
Whoever shall in said city congre-
gate on or upon any of the streets in
the city of Peru for the purpose of
counting, making love or spooning or
carrying on courtship shall be guilty
of misdemeanor and shall be fined
not less than 80 or more than 800 for
each offense.'
Financial ruin promises to follow in
the wake of that ordinance for many
of the young men of Peru. 1t might
even be attended with disastrous con-
sequences for young people in most

July 6, 1900, during all of which time
Mrs. Bielefeldt asserts, she conducted
herself as a true and loving wife. Mr..
Bielefeldt, however, according to his
wife's statement. has been anything
but kind to her, was cruel and inhu-
man in July last, and in February

She says he choked her July 6, the
day she left him, and put her in con-

Address on Home Missions.
Mrs. Potter, home missionary of
Utah, spoke at o'clock. She said
We are most interested in humanity,
to build up and help on to better liv
ing and higher thinking the human
race. What great need have we of a
home missionary society? Not one
of the many organizations can do the
work set apart for the home mission
airy society. No nation rises above
it's woman. The Woman's Home
Missionary society has the world for
it's parish. Thousands come from
other lands. In the First ward of
New York there ought to be
500 missions instead of 500
saloons, but instead there are
only five missions and 800 saloons.
In the south there are five bureaus,
II model homes and schools.
I'VE have great work among the
Indians and Spanish. Probably New
Mexico will be the next state adj
mitted into the union and great work
should be done there. There have been
500 treaties made with the Americans
by the Indians, and the Americans
have not kept one. There is a great
field in Utah. We have in Utah schools,
and deaconesses. There is
no heather doctrine like polygamy.
They believe God is a man, going on
to perfection. AS man is, God was;
as God is, man will be. The Mormon
church wants political power, not re-
ligious, and it is getting it. These
territories that border on Utah are
under control of the Mormon church"
Mrs. Potter followed with remarks on
B. H. Roberts and his speeches not
long ago given in Utah.
The evening service was under the
direction of Evangelist Sturgeon, who
preached with his usual power.
