Death Of CAPT. Harry Powars.

At II o'clock this Monday forenoon,
there died in this city man known in this
county for nearly forty years, and who, for
more than twenty years, has been an inva-
lid 50 crippled with rheumatism as to be
nearly helpless. Capt Powars was born
in Boston, June 6, 1907, and came to Rock
Island in 1886. He built the present Rock
Island House, and was, for many years, a
leading business man here-more particu-
larry connected with the warehouse and
river business, Through his long affection
he was patient and wonderfully cheerful,
enjoying the company of society and
friends very keenly. But the recent death
of his daughter MRS. Freeman) and of his
brother, Capt. Serene Powars, seems to
have had depressing influence upon him,
and he sank quite rapidly of late. Hehad
hosts Of friends who remember many hap
py hours in his society. He leaves a wife
and three children-Henry and Title, by
his first wife, and Sarah by his present
wife. OF the large family of brothers and
sisters only Mr., John Powars, Of Quincy,
survives.

Aecident--Arm Broken

On Saturday the 18th, Mrs Broderick,
wife of Mr.. James Broderick, of the Sham
rock House, was out TO their farm near Milan,
and was accidently overturned in the bug
gy, breaking one arm and badly spraining
one ankle. She is out there yet, but is
doing as well as could be expected, and
will probably be able to ride home before
many days. 1t will take about six weeks
time for the bones to unite again.
And yesterday Sunday afternoon Miss
Ellen Broderick went out to visit her moth
er, taking along with her Miss Lizzie
Byrnes, and a boy to drive. As they were
returning, when near the court house, or
Orleans street, one of the buggy shafts
fell, the horse ran and capsized the bug
gy, spilling its occupants, but luckily none

Lees Nolding MachIna.

Worcester, Mass, has long been the
headquarters for all kinds of machinery
en.ering into manufactures, and among
the most justly celebrated is Lees patent
moulding machine, which Is PROBABLY the
best article of the kind ever invented, COM
bining the great features of simplicity du-
rability and quicknass of work. 1t has met
with an immense sale from the first year
of its introduction and has merited the un-
qualified praise Of mill owners everywhere.
1t is manufactured by H. A. Lee, the pat
entee. at 1854 Union street, Worcester, Mass
who also deals ia all kinds of wood working
machinery, providing complete outfits for
planning mills, furniture factories, etc, in
the most advantageous terms,

Competition On the River Nesded.

This morning the steamer Rock Island
passed down. She was loaded with freight
from top to bottom, aud has been refusing
freight all the way down from Dubuque
At this point there were awaiting trans
portation about -four hundred packages of
freight which have been lying here for
two days past. The boat would not take
pound of it, and SO it has to remain here
for several lays more or the shippers will
have TO go to the additional expense Of
hauling it away to the railroad to be ship
ped by rail- Last week a gentleman who
was removing from Clinton 10 Davenport,
came down on the Minnesota. That boat
would not or could not carry his goods, and
now the Rock Island refused them, leaving
the gentleman and his family in consideIa.
bic trouble here. 1t seems to us the pack
ct company might provide some accommo-
dation for moving freight; this refusing
freight has been of very frequent occur
renee this season If the company cannot
afford 10 put more than four boats on the
upper river, they had better haul off alto
gether, and then shippers would know
what to expect. What is wanted is some
lively competition, and it is to be hoped
that an opposition company will take the
field, or rather the river, next season. =

In visiting the Chicago Exposition and
wandering among the maze of articles
manufactured in the Northwest, the eye
cannot fail to be attracted by the fine dis
play OF show cases on exhibition from the
famous factory Of J. Dixon & Co. This
firm has long enjoyed high reputation
for the elegance of its show cases, and as
may be imagined it has excelled itself both
in design and execution in producing some
thing worthy of the great Interstate Fair.
We understand that the premium cases
have been disposed of at high figures, but
j. Dixon Il Co. stand prepared to dupli-
cate them at any time at lower prices than
the same grade of goods can be had else
where. The Office is at ia Lake Street,

Cruelty.

1t is positive piece of cruelty for gro
Gerry keepers to fasten chickens into an
open work coop and place them on the side
walks in the cold winds and storms. In
rough weather they should be protected
A large coop of chickens, opposite the
Harper House, has stood there day and
night, through the cold and storm, the
poor fowls huddled together as best they
could, but exposed and suffering all the
while. There is law in this State pun
ishing cruelty to animals, and this kind OF
cruelty comes within the terms of that
law, declaring that any person who shall
torture, torment, or cruelty treat, or de-
prive of food or drink, any animal, shall be
fined not less than s., nor more than 500,
to be recovered on complaint before any
justice of the peace And the act defines
the word animal to mean any living
creature

Parties In chitsvo.
he Chicago Inter OCEAN says ::


ssFor convenience sake we attempt IN
enumerate the several parties now in the
field, who propose TO take care of the cash
boxes for the dear people during the en-
surfing two years. The Law and Order
party, the Independent Citizens party, the
Leading Citizens party, the Hesing Or
Hara party, the Grand Pacific Hotel par
ty, the Sherman House party, the White
Jussen -Gassette- Blakely party, the Sunday
Wine and Beer party, the Committee Of
Seventy party. There may be some 9TH
ers, but they escape our memory for the
present.
And the st. Louis Republican says:
Perhaps we can assist the memory and
add to the list of the Inter Ocean. There
is the Anti Taxation party, the Secession
from-the- State party, the Springfield Lobby
party, the Washington Lobby party, the
South Park party, the Lincoln Park party,
the Cook County party, the Railroad Monop-
oily party, the Grain Corner party, the Gus
tom house and P0st-ofice Ring party, and
the old. reliable unterrifed Dead Beat
party. The catalogue could be extended,
or the whole might be boiled down into
one-the Universal Grab and Gouge par-
ty, around whose standard Chicago has al
ways rallied, and by whose principles she
proposes to be guided, now, henceforth,
and forever. "

Bumme1s on both Sides.
Another lot OF ring politicians, office
| hunters, bummers, and SO on, met together
yesterday, and brought forth another
ticket" of candidates for city officers. 1t
is very much of piece with the ticket fix
ed up by the old ring masters and barna-
cles at the Pacific hotel Like that ticket
it presents the names of three or four per-
sons who are fit, or passibly fit, to be elect
ed, and shows an entire remainder of ut
terly unfit and untrustworthy candidates.
Colyin may be more capable man of bus
mess than Bond, but he has bad habits
and the whole truth is that neither of them
is a suitable man for mayor of Chicago.
The bulk of the peoples ticket is simply
damnable.
The plain truth is, that. with few excep.
tons, both these lists Of candidates are
wholly and unqualifedly disgraceful. Ii
would be grUss Insult to the intelligence
and responsibility of the majority of Chi
90 tax payers 10 recommend either to theil
support,
What ought now to be done is to put
forth list of decent and respectable can
didates, whom tax payers could vote fol
without feeling ashamed of themselves
Some of the candidates might be takeI
from one or the other OF these scalawaG
tickets. An eclectic ticket, with new
names where ~ tt names appear on eth
er of the scalawag tickets, should be pre-
sented. Else Chicago taxpayers may a,
well make up their minds TO let the city
go back into the control of the worst tax
eaters, scalawags, and bummers that eve
disgraced its municipal Offices or stole from
the public taxes To advocate or encour
age the election Of either of the two ticket
now presented,Sis, i'll the name of decency
wholly out of the question.
