ing wise and mysterious. and getting ready
for the event. The nobby young gents,

getting themselves up for the occasion.
Those who read the mysterious hints in
the papers were wondering who it could
be-and the fair young lady. who was the
cause of all this mystery. greatly enjoyed
herself in the supposed secrecy Of her
plans, just as though, in such an affair,
everybody didn't know all about it.

And Rock Island and Moline might en-
joy the benefits of city delivery if they
were consolidated, as they ought to be, and
as they will be sometime. Under one city
charter and one city government our terri
tory would then be less than Davenport.
If Milan, Moline and Rock Island were
under one charter they would then about
equal the territory covered by the charter
ON the other side they would fully equal
it in population and more than double 1t,
as they now do, in business. The principal
odvontares decentralization would be max

should hope never to hear politics mention

for the leading business men and property

If you insure with travelling life and fire

They are generally a class of men who
cannot make living at home, where they

represent companies that are not worthy

is to 60 to your local agents, who will fur
nish you reliable insurance as cheap as il
can be done by any one The undersigned
