A fierce fight occurred about 12:30 o'clock yesterday morning between the roustabouts of Buffalo Bill's show and 200 excursionists waiting for their trains, at Kewanee, where the Wild (West show went from 'Davenport. The fight arose over a dispute concerning a 10-cent ticket to the concert, one of the excursionists claiming he had to pay twice.

After the performance he went to the trains where the showmen were loading and began to swear at them. They jumped on him and beat him, whereupon, the other excursionists went to his assistance. The showmen gave a peculiar call and in a minute all the followers of the show ran up, -and grabbing tent poles made a savage assault upon the crowd. After half an hour's hard fight the showmen proved victorious and withdrew to the north platform of the depot while the excursionists who were able to stand up kept the south platform. John Docres of Princeton and Samuel Arms of Sheffield were badly injured.

KXTEX81VK IMPKOVKMESTO CONTEMPLATED AT GLUCOSE. Will Almost Itonble the Capacity of arc Started for Ylrrt Today-- Will Prove Large Government Contract to foe Filled Bjr the riant. Another Improvement and addition to the already extensive plant is contemplated by the Glucose Sugar Refining Co. of this city and the improvement will be made in the very near future. The proposed improvement is the erection of a new warehouse 175 feet long and 70 feet wide extending from the north end of the present warehouse almost to the Rockingham road.

The new building will be a two story brick with a cement basement and will just double the capacity of the present ware house. Supt. Harrison stated this morning that the plans had not yet -been fully completed but that the building would be completed in about 40 days- The building will be fitted up with the necessary tanks and machinery to make the work of filling and packing handy and will give much more room to the working force as welj as giving a larger capacity. In conformity with this increased capac- Ity for handling the finished product, improvements will be made all through the factory and the capacity ft as well as the working force will be increased until the outfit will be nearly double, that now being made. At present the works are far -behind the orders, although they are working day and night.

Among the improvements io be made in addition to the new warehouse are a number of new engines. The electric light and power "PI plant is just to be doubled, while minor improvements will be made in every department. The prospects are that the works will be kept busy for a long time to. cpjoae and there need be no fear that tie factory here will be i shut down. New Steejt Elevators Started.

The Illinois veterans are to take the initiative in -bringing the matter of allowing the soldiers of the present war to become members of the C. A. The following taken from the Galesburg Mail tells of the steps that havebeen taken as follows: "Probably the most vital question that will be conisdered at the national encampment of the Grand Army of the 'Republic this year will be that of allowing the soldiers in the present war to become members of the order. The reunion is to be held in Cincin- ri natti the first week in September. According to the rules of the order the matter can be propounded this year to the encampment.

Then it lies on the table for a year to be taken up at the next encampment. "The resolution asking for such a change in the policy of the order has already been, forwarded to national headquarters by Department Commander John C. Black of Chicago. AMUSEMENTS. Sunday Aug.

2L Among the attractions reappearance in this city, the musical farce "At Coney Island" is Miller Freeman this organization has enjoyed three seasons of uninterrupted prosperity and has been ia city of troncequeace in the country. It is more or less of a departure in the line of farce comedy from sie fact that it deals with a theme ire not touched upon by the It is surprising, but nevi ertheless a fact that the ubiquitous buUder of so called farce comedy has neglected a field so prolific of humorous phases. The scenes are laid in New York and of course at its taaious Sunday piay ground--Coney Isiantt. the production is given in a scenic in- vesture of so complete a nature that not one line or wine of the theatre's is coming near when a large supply of corn must be laid in and the elevator and large bins will" be needed. The capacity of these new steel bias is im- ntense apfd when filled will guarantee a' good supply of material on hand.

There will be no danger of "fire or an i v' explosion and a disaster like the one of a year ago will not be repeated. Since the factory baa changed hands a number of improvements have been made, and others are still in contemplation, which will make the factory, which is now the largest mixing concern in the world, one of the finest and best equipped, to be seen anywhere. The product of the factory is gaining a reputation that bids fair to keep the orders piling in sufficiently to keep the wheels humming. Get a Government Contract According to the. Chicago Tribune of yesterday a large amount of syrup scenic equipment is required.

The decision will be given a year later. There are many members of the Grand Army in favor of the movement, while some object. The men of Post 45 of Galesburg, representative of the organization here, have expressed their minds as favorably disposed to accept "The members who have been seen here feel that the one way in which to perpetuate the institution is by an infusion of young blood. They say that the younger generation of men who have been in the war are entitled to such recognition. The only mleo full membership now is that a man shall have served in ihe army between the years '61 and and shall have received an honorable discharge.

The older men feel that the younger who have enlisted in the present war should be allowed the same privilege. They point to the fact that impresses itself upon them more and more as the years go by and their ranks are thinned by death that the younger men must fall in line or the organization will die out "Oihers make the objeciion that the civil war is peculiar in itself in that was a war of the nation and not of two separate peoples. They say that confederate soldiers are not allowed to join the G. A. and that if sons of these men are entitled to join, they win want the courtesy extended to their fathers.

That paper announced that the government has let a contract to the Glucose Sugar Refining Co. for 500,000 three-pound pounds of syrup. This means 1.500,000 pounds ft he product of the local factory.

Although this is not what the factory here would consider a large order, yet it will take about six days to fill it besides the ciher products of the works. Sapt. Harrison is doing all in his power to run the factory to its full limit, and the people of Davenport can feel safe that at least for a number of years the Glucose works win star with us.
