HUGE DEAL is ON
Progress of Land Purchasing Me-
gotiations East of
Moline.
sl5O,OOO SPENT IN OPTIONS
The Property Secured Lies Along
the Railroad
Lines.

Newspapers of the locality have
been guessing for some weeks as to
what is back of the negotiations for
the requirement of large tracts of
land east of East Moline. The Argus
learned of these transactions at their
outset and applying to the correct
source of information was urged to
withhold reference to the same until
deals had progressed sufficiently for
to prevent premature publication
such as might prove detrimental to
the contamination of important en-
terprises. While it is still deemed
prudent not to divulge the exact
character of what is to result from
the land transactions. the fact is
known that il is to be one of the
greatest industries ever brought to
the county, and will result in mater
tally increasing the population of
both Rock Island and Moline. 1t is
also known that already over 600
acres of land have been placed in OPP
ton involving considerations of near
Iy $15O.GOO, and that a strip has been
practically secured a mile in width
and running along all the railroad
tracks to the extent of mile and
half.
Need for Interurban Service
1t was with the knowledge that
what might develop beyond East Mo-
line that The Argus has repeatedly
urged upon the people of this city the
extension of interurban street car ia
cilities into Rock Island from the
east end of the county, and when the
public understands. as it will in due
time, what is TO be the outcome of the
negotiations now on east of Moline.
il will realize the desirability of rap
id transit up that way.

TIE TIME OF SINGING BIRDS.

There's 4 murmur and stir in the under
world,
"A hurry Of life to greet the sun
The little green leaves are wide uncurled,
And primroses open one by one;
The boisterous winds blow kind and soft
AS they feel the kiss Of the rainbow
showers,
And the merry brown larks sing high
aloft,
And woods are alight with flowers.
You seemed 80 weary, o Earth, and old,
A feebler traveller scant of breath,
y With the blood in your veins grown dull
5 and cold
You dwelt in the shadow-land Of Death!
And then, on q sudden, we scarce knew
You rose with the break Of the first
Spring; day
And laughed in the face Of forgetful men
And passed on your royal way!
You whispered q word to the wandering
breeze, E@
And the almond blossoms their petals
And soon will laburnum and lilac trees
Give place to the hawthorn white and
red:
There's mating OF birds and bleating Of
flocks,
The plowman goes whistling up the
dawn sE
And the river is leaping Ger fern-fringed
rocks
Like creature newly born!
Come out, o dwellers in cities bred
The dewey meadows are cool and sweet.
There's cloudless canopy for your head,
A daisied pavement to rest your feet:
And the gold that you hoard In mint and
5Es mart stt;1 f@s gaE .t,.N#r
Is surely poor and passing thing
TO the Heaven-stored wealth of Natures
heart #
In the first glad days Of spring!

ELEPHANTS LIKE SNOW.
A Troop Of Trained Pachyilerma
Gives nm mprOmptu Show at
Hartford, Conn.

"A troop of trained elephants have
been performing at Hartford, Conn.,, re-
Gently, says the Courant, and after the
big snowstorm they gave an i'm
promptu entertainment out of doors.
1t seems that though natives of a warm
climate no animal loves snow better
not even the polar bear. Prof. Lock-
aardt was telling some gentlemen about
this, and finally invited a half dozen to
visit the stables where the animals are
CHARTERED. The party found the stable
yard allied with snow, and two or three
large drifts piled up. Mr.. Locl1hardt
told the stableman to let the elephants
out IN the yard, after telling his friends
to post themselves high up in the wag
ons under thes beds: Then Prof. Lock
ha1dt told the elephants they could
have just as much fun in the snow as
they wished. They Immediately rushed
for the highest drifts, and made the
snow fly in decidedly lively manner.
The beasts would take large quantities
of snow up in their trunks, and seemed
to find great delight in throwing it as
high as possible, letting it fall upon
their backs. Then they began snow
balling, and schoolboys never took
more delight than these huge animals,
rearing on their hind legs, trumpeting,
and giving signs of intense satisfaction
every time one gave another trunkful
Of snow in the face. At length Mr..
Lockhardt told the largest of the quar-
tette to lie down, and then permitted
the other elephants to cover her over
with snow, which they did with much
dexterity. At word the big elephant
arose, shook off the snow, and amid
trumpetings and general excitement
the animals were returned to the barn
The feats at the Coliseum were gone
through with that evening with much
speed and vim, and Mr.. Lockhardt said
he thought the snowballing of the
afternoon had really done the ele-
plants good. ... .~ ~.

VEGETABLE ARTILLERY.
Some Plants That Have Curious and
Interesting Ways of Scattering
Their Seed.

Certainly you would not look for a
cannon or shotgun among the weeds
and bushes; but if you were to observe
closely some of our native vegetation
when their seed are ripening you
would be strongly reminded of them.
The four shown in the accompanying
illustration, are very interesting, be-
cause of the way in which they scatter
their seed by shooting or throwing
them forth.
The witch hazel pod is miniature
cannon loaded with two shining tor
pedo-shaped seeds, which it expels
with remarkable force, often sending
them to distance of 40 feet.

time it opens fusillade and feel the
singing sensation of the little mis-
siles on your face and hands, you

BRIEF BOOK REVIEW.
atical, But IL n Pleasing Depart
ure from the Hackneyed Style.

The following brief paragraphs are
copied from Encounters Between
Famous Men," the forthcoming book
by j. Ellington Bildad. They simply
show, says the Ohio State Journal,
whittier the historical novel is drift
ing:
GAS George Washington came within
sight of Rome he observed that the
city was in flames, and, having drunk
all of the fire extinguisher from his
bottle at the previous stop, he turned
his horses head and was about to
gallop away, when his quick ear
caught the strains of music. George
paused, and, looking upward, beheld
Nero perched on the city wall playing
a violin solo. Waving his hand in
adieu to the cruel tyrant, General
Washington rode away, leaving the
cracking flames behind him, because
the Father of His Country had no use
for cracking flames where he was
going"
'"This is the only instance on record
of meeting between George Wash
ington and Nero. It's authenticity
cannot be doubted, inasmuch as the
writer's grandfather was present
when it happened"

Girl Paid the Penalty.

Readers of Jacob Grimm's beauti-
full stories will remember that one of
his prettiest tales ends with the
words: "Whoever refuses to believe
this story owes me thaler." One
winter morning a little girl rang the
doorbell and asked the servant if
Herr Prof. Jacob Grimm was at
home. When informed that he was
not she said, politely: evil you
please hand him this thaler when he
returns?'' The servant took the
coin, glanced at it curiously and in
quired who sent it and what it was
for. II owe him the money myself"
said the little girl. ''Why? What
for?" Because I don't believe the
