"rhe Shores of Silence"

A poem entitled 1.-The Shores
Of Silence" credited to The In
dianapolis Press, is going the
rounds. 1t seems to be the work
of Hector Fuller, one of the best
and brainest newspaper men in
the west. Two stanzas are as
follows:
Through the dark, grim gateway OF
Silence
There com es not an echo of sound
And the land of the hidden hereafter
To men is an untrodden ground;
But why do | strain sight and hearing
TO catch but a fragment so small?
Oh, why should wait for the swing of
the gate,
Or hope for the future at all?
"Ah. sweet in the moment of slumher
The glimpse Of happier land,
And bright is the light and the glory
That falls on the wide golden strand,
For sometimes l see the light simmer,
In fitfnl but glorted CLEANS
Onthe sea and the shore of a glad
evermore-
The fanciful Island of Dreams. "

A FINE SENp-OFF
FOR THEATRE PROMOTER

Here is what the Muscatine News
Tribune has to say of Theatre Pro-
moter George H. Johnston: sour
neighboring city CT Rock Island, up
across the creek, wants a new opera
house, and her chances are good for
getting it, provided the citizens of
that enterprising hamlet get the pro-
per hustle upon themselves. George
II. Johnston, who built Muscatine's
elegant new theatre, is only waiting
for the word to put up $50. 600 play
house in Rock Island, and over half
the amount of bonus he requires has,
according to THE ARGUS already been
subscribed in the shape of a sale of
seats for the opening night. The
people of Rock Island will find that
Johnston has peculiar habit of do
ing everything he agrees to do, and
doing it just exactly right-no cure,
no pay.
Every visitor who has inspected
Muscatine's new theatre pronounces
it most thoroughly equipped modern
play house, and all contributors are
pleased with it. Citizens are now en-
ioying q series of entertainments such
as the city has never before been able
to accommodate, and the Grand has
been playing to standing room, not
outstanding its capacity"

When Gov. Richard Yates an

favored.
Walter johnson, editor of the
Union, believes he has the quali6ca-
tions that would make it to the inter
est of the state to call him into the
reformatory. He wants to be a COM
missioner of that institution. Hon.
William Jackson, of this city, is now
serving in that capacity, and probably
would like to be continued.
DR.. j. r. Hollowbush has stack
of Inducements that would ordinar
lily land an applicant in any old
position-from am bassador to the
court of ST. James to minister to
Dahomey. But the doctor is asking
simply to be counted in on the state
board of health. He enjoys a wide
popularity among the politicians of
the state, who are doing their best in
his behalf.
For Railroad Commissioner.
G.. l. Walker, though modestly
denying he is after the position,
would not back up very far if state
railroad and warehouse commissioners
ship were rendered him.
Christian f. Gaetjer, who wore
kahki, bought lime light ammunition
and led all the principal parades in
this city during the recent campaign,
expects his reward today in appoint
ment as colonel on Gov. Yates staff.
The other selections in the military
department, including the adjutant
general. etc., will not be made until
after the trip to Washington for the
presidential Inauguration next March.
