Almost all the secret orders are

members and comrades resting in the
cemetery and it has come to us that
several graves, which should be look
ed after by the societies are sadly in
need of attention. The association
therefore thinks that the societies can
materially help them in the work, and
then on Decoratin Day they can orna-
ment the graves in far better spirit,

all parties spend the day which has
been set for May Il, Friday. either in

in caring for the property of some

The Cemetery Association States
That we want to be prepared

~ The success of the cleaning up day
appointed by the town was so pro.
nounced that the Cemetery Associat-
ion wants to try and do likewise as re.
CARDS the adorning of the grounds of
the cemetery. preparatory to the exer
cises on Decoration Day which is the
latter part of this month.
1t might not be amiss to state that
this association has spent both time
and considerable money this spring in
putting the ground in good condition,
erect ng a hog tight and respectable
fence around the entire ground; that
the council has had the ground re
plated, stakes put in and the alleys
and streets PLAINLY marked. All this
work has been done that our cemetery
might be a place we need not be
ashamed of and while tn ework has been
we'll done, there is yet lot that needs
attention before the place is in the
shape IT ought to be. A number OF
graves are sadly in need of building
up, a number of dilapidated fences

At A Mass Meeting Where
The Executives Were Appointed
Council and Association
Together
One of the Best Meetings held
by kendriCk Citizens Since
the Fire. What They Done.

According to the call of the Plesi-
dent and chairman of the Business
Mems Association a meeting was
held in the town hall Wednesday at
eight p. IN. and we are glad to state
that there has never been a larger or
more representative body OF business
men at any meeting than there was
out Wednesday evening.
Aftrr the adjournment of the coun
Gil the chairman, A. G. White, took
the chair and called the meeting to
order and briefly stated the object of
the call, which was whether Kend-
rick should celebrate the 4th or not
| celebrate it, and then left the matter
open to discussion by the members.
Pungent remarks were made by sew
eral OF the citizens and it appearing
to be the sentiment that we do cele.
brate, a motion was made to that
| effect which was carried unanimous
ly, and the chairman appointed an
executive committee consisting OF j.
Z. Barackman, Fred $. Beck with
and John Bradbury, who have full
power to appoint sub committees
and bring the celebration to Il sue
cessful finish.
The matter OF a sprinkler for the
summer months was then taken
| under discussion and on motion Il
committee was appointed to arrange
for this matter, SECURE the necessary
data and while making the best bar
gain or contract they could, to see
chat Il sprinkler was in operation on
our streets during the dry months
No matter OF Importance then
.omin~ up the association adjourned
subject to the call Of the chair.
AT meeting of the executive com
mittee held Thursday afternoon in
the bank a general discussion Of the
plans for the coming festivities was
| nad and the appointment OF the main
committees was made as follows:

The San Francisco Disaster.

One of the greatest disasters of the
times has befallen San Francisco.
Not since the Galveston flood and
before it the Johnstown flood, has such
catastrophe overtaken a city on this
continent.
The earthquake shock that visited
the metropolis of the Pacific at an
early hour this morning is filled with
horror in all it's attending circum-
stances and conditions.
The eyes of the entire nation and OF
the world are in a twinkling turned to
the city of the Golden Gate, and hearts
rended with pain and pity will prompt
deeds of generosity and humanity to
an afflicted people.
San Francisco is not unaccuStomed
to seismic shocks. and the present dis
turbance will be attributed by scien-
lists to the same causes that occa-
sion the volcanic eruptions of Vesu-
vius. So that while the people of the
Pacific slope may have been in meas
ure prepared for quake, one of such
astounding proportions was, of course,
not anticipated.
The work of relief Will accompany
the clearing away of the debris. The
entire nation may be relied upon to
respond to whatever extent may be
necessary to relieve the distress and
suffering
And in proportion TO what it has al
ways done. Rock Island may be counted
upon to do its full share In this spirit
The Argus. as in the past, will cheer
fully and earnestly cooperate.
In the hour of overwhelming misfor-
tune San Francisco will look to the
world for aid. and that aid will not
be withheld.

Abraham Lincoln was elected president.
The announcement was signal for an
opening of those secession guns that

man, one of the numerous colonies

but that did not save me. One evening

to force me into fight, but went inn

matter. He sat thinking for a few
minutes, then said quietly:

A United States senator who has as
many millions as he has fingers and
toes decided to buy an automobile and
selected a machine valued at $4,000
But before concluding the purchase he
spent a week dickering with the agent
and then he demanded all sorts OF
demonstrations. He called his son
from New York to Washington and
after the young man had examined the
machine the agent took the two for
another run. On returning he said TO
the senator: "Good-by. | think I'll be
going now" where are you going?'

The Horse Still Leads.

The automobile has not discouraged
the useful animal, the horse. Official
reports show that the equine is still
paramount. In 1905 there were 1857,
702 horses in the United States, against
14,213,S37 in 1890 The export price
averaged s30S.99 last year, against
S174.50 in 1892. The horse is flesh.
blood and intelligence, and people OF
natural and practical predictions can
have an affection for him. He has the
graces of instinct, and if he gets prop
er attention is thing of beauty and
satisfaction The spread of the auto
mobile is amazing, but it is still to a
great degree a fad and a toy. 1t is
a product of prosperous times, when
men are making money and have the
means of treating themselves to novel
ties. Its best use is for heavy delivery
transportation in cities, but it has
nothing to commend it over the horse
for family driving or pleasure riding
1t goes faster than the patient four.
footed beast. but the horse is as rapid
as is necessary. 1t goes at as great a
pace as ought to be permitted in the
streets of a city, and is less tempest
uous than the believing and snoring
motor Anybody with human instincts
can acquire a positive affection for a
faithful horse. but who could love a
greasy automobile. with its absurd
odors? The horse, the noblest of al
beasts-if, in deed, it is not a shame
to call it a best-is creature OF
bountiful and beautiful nature, while
the horseless wagon is a senseless
ponderous machine that is not bride
wise. and has to be guided at every
motion By /, man in spectacular over
coat and wearing on his eyes horrid
goggles. The automobile has not ad
vanced much save in devilment. 1t is
still largely vehicle for the transpor
tation of grotesque exhibitions. 10y
