1t is rumored that the commander
of the Gneisenau committed suicide
when he saw that all was lost. A
nephew of the Imperial Chancellor,
Count Won Buelow, named Berndt, was
among the saved, though he was in
jured about the head. A sailor who
survived the wreck went mad as re-
suit of his experience. The first engi-
neer, the assistant engineer, and a
number of petty officers, were drown
ed.
1t Is hoped that the guns, the
treasure chest, and perhaps part OF
the hull may be salvaged.
OVER 100 WERE DROWNED.

Some, too. have been suggested in
an irresponsible manner, to which no

BARROW At MOL Inc.
Chicago Orator Addresses a Large
Democratic Gathering
There.
HITS TRUSTS AND IMPERIALISM
Big Procession and Great Enthu-
siasm.-The Republicans
Have Doings.

The Moline democrats had the first
big rally of the present campaign
Saturday night, and to say that it
was an enthusiastic affair is putting
it mildly. The procession. several
blocks in length, headed by the Light
Guard band, and including the local
clubs and the Bryan Club Marching
corps of this city, was cheered by
large crowds all along the. line of
march.
The speaking was at Turner hall,
which was filled to the doors when
the meeting was called to order by
President Myron Jordan, who intro
duced the orator of the occasion,
Clarence S. barrow, of Chicago. The
speaker received a warm welcome
He declared Imperialism to be the
chief issue of the campaign. He held
war unJustifable and that America
was wrong in engaging in the con-
fict with Spain. The war over Cuba
was not to give the islanders liberty.
As soon as the Spaniards were driven
out it was the plan that we should
send down a lot of land and franchise
sharks.
Turning to the Philippine war, Mr..
barrow said we have wandered far
from the principles on which our gov
eminent was founded when we march
out and shoot to death innocent peo-
pie in far-off land and compel them at
the point of the sword to recognize

moons. The Verdict mau still wants
to go to the Legislature. He
wants TO GO, bad. The people
of Illinois need "a newspaper
man there about the size of the
Verdict man. We want to see the
wheels 60 round at Springfield. we
want to see where statesmen become
great, where men are bought and sold
and bribery stalks forth in its be-
witching costume of great love for
the people, Perhaps it isn't all true
what the papers tell about it. The
papers are wicked and lie some, but
we want to see for ourselves. Then
there is Matt McEniry, of Rock Is
land, who wants to go. Matt has
met fighting conventions and tist1-
cuffs. He has had his teeth knocked
out and his honesty questioned in his
race. But he won the first heat in his
own county, as did the Verdict scribe.
Matt has us handicapped some in
this last convention. He has more
delegates than we. He may sit on US
and sit on us hard. This will please
Charlie Ladd and Earn Mayhem. They
fear if we get in the legislature we
would get bill passed DISTINGUISHING
them for their monkey business in
local politics. Come to Cam bridge

four miles before the usual Saturday
night crowd in order to lend their aid
toward having the thing done right.
The ceremonies included numbers by
Adair Peasants and Emory Graves,

The defamation of the first named
was calculated to show that the re-
publican party is the whole thing.

Many expressions of appreciation
have been made of the position taken
by The ARGUS that in the filing of
the vacancies on the board of educa-
ton self-seekers and unknown q uan-
titles should be avoided, and men who
are known to be ft for the positions
selected. The Rock Island public
schools are. above the aspirations of
any one man or any number OF
men, and the people are anxious to
keep them aloof from personal design.
The system now attained is eq ual TO the
best. and it is the earnest desire of all
friends of that System to keep it so.
To this end the board should be
guarded in the selection Of the men
who are to Eli the unexpired terms in
the membership. The ARGUS has in
defezence TO proper requests here.

HOME TEAM BEATEN
Rock island and Moline High
Schools Meet on the
Gridiron Saturday.
FORMER PLAYS AT DISADVANTAGE
Weight and Experience Against
the Local EIeVen..The
Lineup.

The Rock Island High school foot
ball team Saturday afternoon suffered
the fate that fell to all but one of the
losers in the games between the col
leges and universities played on that
date throughout the east. a white
wash. 1t is a strange fact that the
only game in which the losing side
scored was that. between Pennsyl-
vania and Lehigh, at Philadelphia.
The knowledge that they Jared NO
worse than so many others ought to
be source of great consolation to
Rock Island.
Saturdays game was played in
Commute halves. and the score at the
close was &c to in favor of Moline.
The latter. team proved greatly SUI
perior to their adversaries in both
weight and experience. Over half of
Moline's team are last years men and
all of them average not only heavier.
but older, than those of Rock Islands.
The best work of the winners was
done in end plays, though they made
good gains through the line.
Rock Island had the ball in the
start, but Moline quickly secured it
and made a touchdown in four min
utes. At the end of the first half the
latter had 10 points and the former
had only had the bali in their possess
sion twice. In the second half, touch
downs were made by Huntoon, Smith
and Anderson, and Kelting kicked
goal The home team had the ball
several times and made some good
gains, but they were weakened by the
loss of four of their heavier men,
who were replaced by light substi-
tutes and could not hold thei1 advan-
tage.
Good Grit Shown.
The home team had no reason to
feel discouraged over the result of the
game, for they showed magnificent
grit in the face of overwhelming odds
and never once displayed a lack of
courage. They have the precise quail
ties that go to make up firstclass
team, and hard practice, with the
that practice gives, will
put them where they need not fear
the result of contest with any high |
school in these parts.
