TALES OF THE TOWN.

Down in Muscatine there resides .
maiden for whom a Rock Island
young man holds a warm spot in his
heart. He drops down there of q Sum
day occasionally to see her He is an
up-to-date, attractive appearing
Young fellow and attends strictly to
his own affairs. and that he shsUld
have been suspected for a crook by
the Muscatine police is what is both
ering him. He has been rubberiDg at
himself in mirrors ever since to aatis-
fly himself that he really does not look
like a con man. He says he never
took any bad money or handed any to
any one else. However, as be was
lingering about the railroad depot Of
the watermelon burg awaiting train
foT home he noticed policeman siz-
ing him up rather closely. Finally
the officer of the law placed his hand
On the Rock Islanders shoulder and
said:
Consider yourself under arrest"
For what, pray?" answered the
frightened youth.
''Aren't you from Dubuque?"
mo sir; / am from Rock Island"
The copper smiled wisely and re-
awhile, anyway. In the meantime the
sheriff of Dubuque, who was in Mus
catine on the trail of a man named
Kelley, who had stolen diamonds in
the Iowa town, and who, by the wav,
was captured later here, was sent for.
The sheriff said the policeman had
made mistake, and the young man
was released in time to catch his train
for home.
Rock Island has many chicken fan

guments as to the relative merits OF
the fighting qualities of the different
focks naturally results in meetings
at the pit. In former years it was
always considered policy in order TO
avoid prosecution to pull events of
this character off in some secluded
spot outside the city limits. And

was prepared TO this appeal in which
Il is understood this government agrees
to an armlstice for the purpose Of re-

the various legations and the
people under their protection, either at
the inner gate Of the city or the outer
gate. whichever the officers in COM

safety will be assured in moving from

this government will agree to an arm

specified time cease hostilities with o
view to arranging terms Of peace.

members OF the committee were unani-
nous in submitting report TO the
convention.
The resolutions advise the people TO
withhold their support from Mckinley
and 70 give direct support 10 Mr. Bry-
an as the most effective means OF
checking Imperialism. At the mention
Of Bryan's name the delegates arose
in body and gave three cheers for the
Democratic candidate.
Moorfield Storey. Of Massachusetts,.
said he cordially Joined In the state
ment Of principles contained In the res
olutions. but stated that he reserved
the right to support a third candidate
II one were nominated who satisfied
him better than Mr.. Bryan.
Thomas M. Osborne. OF New York,
leader Of the ''NationalIsts," was al
lowed TO speak on the resolutions.
Mr.. Osborne said there were many
who could support neither Mckinley
nor Bryan. believing 1t not right to
remedy one wrong by substituting an
other.

party as It stands today" (cries Of
boshD and How much did Mark
Hanna pay you to come here?"
Mr. Osborne continued:
Il believe a third ticket must arise

science Of the voters. When you tie
up question OF conscience with some
thing which large majority Of your
people do not believe in. you destroy
the force Of your argument"
Mr.. Osborne moved ar amendment
striking out that portion Of the resolu-
tions supporting Bryan.
Colonel Goldman spoke against Mr.
osborne's motion. He thought the
crisis in which the country stands needs
immediate attention.
As one member Of this congress. .
