RAILROAD QUESTION
BEFORE THE MERCHANTS

Approaching the necessity for i'm
mediate action if Rock Island is to re-
tain railroad interests now located
here, and the removal of which other
cities are seeking to accomplish, the
Retail Merchants association, at its
meeting tonight, is to make this
question the leading topic. In order
that full expression of the mem ber-
ship may be obtained all those belong
ing to the organization are urged to
attend.
A special meeting of the Rock ISL
and Club has been called by President
L. j. Medill for tomorrow evening at
ESQ for similar purpose.
The object of both gatherings, so
far as kno Wn, is to have the city coun-
ell act in conjunction with the merch-
ants and club in the adoption of such
measures as shall promote the mutual
interests of Rock Island and the rail-
roads having rights here.
Last winter was confined to my
bed with a very bad cold on the
lungs. Nothing gave me relief. FL
nally my wife bought bottle of One
Minute Cough Cure that effected a
speedy cure. L. cannot speak too
highly of that excellent remedy" T..

people. not the politicians. So that
anything done that smacks of politics
should be distasteful not only to the
president, but to the people gener-
allv.
The invitation to President McKin-
ley was extended by Congressman
Lane in behalf of the three cities,
purely in patriotic and non-partisan
spirit.
The Presidents Train.
Whatever the program of the presi-
dents stay in the tri-cities. he will
not be in need of the hospitality of
their people. His special private
train will have every convenience,
comfort, and luxury that was ever
put on wheels. The composition of
the train upon which the president
and his party will make the 10. 0O0-
mile trip to the Pacific coast and re-
turn has been determined. Il will
consist of an engine and seven cars
the com bination baggage and smok-
ing car, Atlantic; the dining car, St.
James; two compartment cars, each
with seven state rooms and two draw
ing rooms. the Omena and the Diana;
two dissection drawing room sleepers,
the Pelion and Charmion. and the
private car Olympia. which will be
occupied by President and Mrs Nc
X nley.
This will be one OF the finest trains
ever put upon a railroad track. The
Olympia has been used by the presi
dent on several other occasions. 1t
is 20 feet long, has five private rooms
and one sofa section Two of the
rooms contain brass beds, large mir
rors, wa, drobes and every conven-
fence. The dining and observation
room is at the rear of the car. 1t is
10 feet long. has an extension table
and contains two cabinets. 1t is
finished in vermilion, the private
rooms in ma pie. mahogany and koko
aud the kitchen in English oak The
car is lighted with gas and equipped
with steam heat. The Campania is
almost a counterpart of the Olympia
except that it contains a parlor in
which is sideboard, an organ and
writing desk.
The compartment cars, in which
the members of the cabinet and their
wives and other guests will travel,
are finished in vermilion, deliberately
carved, and the rooms are painted in
ivory and gold. The ceilings are
beautifully decorated and the uphol-
stery and draperies are in harmony
with the general color scheme. The
com bined baggage and smoking car is
fitted up with barber shop, bath
room, writing cabinets and library.
Nothing seems to be lacking.

citizens. and qualified judges. nor
were any of them associated in the
construction of the building. so that
their verdict is unbiased, impartial
and sound. The report as returned
was this:
Muscatine. Iowa, April 20, 1901
To Whom 1t May Concern: The under
signed have this day made a careful
inspection of the building known as
the Grand opera house, at the corner
of Second and Walnut streets, in the
CITY of Muscatine. We ma our ex-
animation thorough, because it had
been asserted that the plastering had
been cracked and the walls sprung
because of crowd gathered there on
a recent occasion.
I'VE cannot find any indication that
any weight thus far put upon the
building has had any effect upon it.;
we cannot find that any of the walls
have been sprung or settled. While
there are some cracks in the plaster,
yet we find that they are old and the
result of shrinkage of the wood and
lath, and do not in the least weaken
the building or lessen it's carrying
capacity. BONE of the cracking of
the plaster is probably the result of
Mr.. Kaiser taking large safe up the
stairway and thereby jarring the plas-
ter. The separation of the casing
from the walls is due to the shrinkage
of the wood and does not weaken the
building. The walls do not to any
large degree carry the weight of a
crowd in the gallery. Any overload
ing of the gallery would not be dem
onstrated by springing of the lower
walls.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-04-22

Last week number of Rock Island
people received copies of a Musca-
tine newspaper containing an articlere-
flecting on the opera house built in
that city by George H Johnston, the
papers having been apparently for
warded here by enemies bent on in
juring his project here. The follow
ing from Sundays Muscatine News
Tribune is selt.explanatory:
"Muscatine theatre-goers for years
have been terrorized by bugaboo
tales of the danger of collapse in its
play houses, and even now when we
nave the new Grand opera house, one
of the most substantial, complete and
best equipped theatres in the state.
there still abide in Muscatine escaped
victims of the fool-killer's wrath who,
by their hue and cry and blatant
vaporings. are attempting to preju-
dice the public mind as to the safety
of the structure. Such stories are
not only silly and puerile, but are
maliciously damnable as well, as
nothing could so mitigate against the
house or hurt the business of the
future in keeping superstitious peo-
pie from attending the attractions.
cit is stated that 'sour grapes was
the prompting motive of the ridicu-
lous squib appearing few days since
in another paper, and being without

the mind of a youthful reporter suf-

iota of credence was to be placed in

the building experts in the city to
visit the premises yesterday and
thoroughly inspect it. All of these
gentlemen are trustworthy, reliable

Activity of Republican Committee
Distasteful to Citizens

Capt. Ii. A. j. Mcdonald, Chairman

receipt of the following from Con-
gresham j. r. Lane, relative to the
demonstration in honor of President
Mckinley:
Davenport. Iowa, April 19.-H. A.

Dear Sir: lam today in receipt of an

tary in communication with the
chairman of the local committees of

Some action has already been taken in

and if you will kindly notify ne of
the name of the chairman l will be
obliged.
81 would suggest in this connec-
ton, that if the three cities arrange
for separate committees, that these
committees should meet together at
once and have some concert of action,
and it might be we'll to have one sim
gle committee to communicate with
the presidential party. Please let me
hear from you, and oblige."
COMMITTEES Ia Cheeky
The Union, after giving the fore
going in it's Sunday morning issue,
takes exception to the stand of The
ARGUS that the presidents visit
should be entirely a non-partisaH
affair. There could be no fault to
find in the republican committeeman
participating as citizens, if invited, in
the arrangements for the entertain
ment of the distinguished guests,
but for the organization to break
in and attempt to usurP the priv
ileges of the committee that extend
ed the invitation to the president. is
not only displaying poor Judgment,
but is cheeky, to say the least.
President Mckinley was invited to
visit the three cities by the CONNER
cial organizations of those cities, Pres
ident L. j. Medill and Secretary Con-
nelly, of the Rock Island Club. and
President G. IL. King sbury and Secre-
tary George Schneider, of the Retail
Merchants association, acting for
Rock Island. To them the acceptance
properly comes. To them the ar
ranging Of plans of entertainment as
far as Rock Island is concerned clearly
belongs.
For any political organization to
seek to intrude is absurd. Patriotic
bodies are different. They have a
right, as well as all other non-politi-
cal organizations, to take part, but
should first report to the original COM
mittee.
Prominent republicans have COM
mended the course voiced by The AR
GUS. President Mckinley is coming
to the community, as stated Satur-
day, not as a politician, but as the
chief executive of these great United
States; as the representative of the
