Ashes in the Streets.

The publication, to-day, of the ordinance
imposing a fine for putting any ashes, Gin
ders, coal, dirt or other litter or obstruc-
tons into the streets or cutters, or per
hitting snow or ice to remain on the walks,
completes the number of publications re-
ouired to make it legal. The law is now
in force and people are warned that VIC
lation of it subjects them to fine of from
50 to $25 for each offense. People who oc-
cupy offices in blocks may ask-"N hat
shall we do with our ashes and dirt 2
That is matter between them and their
landlords-not between'them and the pub
lie. 1t is not the business of the public to
find them place to put theirl ashes and
dirt. 1t is the business of the public to
prevent them from putting it on the side
walks or in the streets. The sooner people,
who have been in the habit of annoying the
public with their filth and rendering oul
streets unsightly and unsafe, conform to
the law the better for them. The people
of the city generally have been taxed t(
clean up their filth about long enough.

Smoking Murder,

Mrs. A. W. Brownlee, at Long Grove,
opposite us, in Scott Co., Iowa, was shot
dead last evening, the 18th, by some one
from the outside of the house. Her hus-
band was absent, and she was with her
four children, in the kitchen, sitting at
window working at a sewing machine. Rob
berry was the object. Mrs. Brownlee was
a daughter of Hon. Hugh NJ. Thompson.
She was thirty-two years of age. The
Gazette says she had been married about
twelve years, having lived at Long Grove
from early girlhood. She was lovely wo-
man in all that pertains to the duties OF
wife, mother and neighbor, and was regard
ed with affection by all in the neighbor-
hood. There is great excitement about il
over the river, and hot pursuit is made fol-
the murderer.

The Union Abandons the Field and Comes
Out for Bailey Davenport.

This morning the Union has an editorial
headed The Mayorality," in which that
paper announces that mo competent man
seems willing to become a candidate for
mayor for next year, against Bailey Daven-
port. 1t is not yet known whether Mr.
Davenport will consent to be a candidate
but in the event he should be convinced
that the people desire his services another
year, it certainly shows excellent good
sense on the part of thei competent men
not to oppose him. But if the Union can
find competent man" to run against
him, perhaps it may succeed in finding an
incompetent one. 1t has done that on sew
eral occasions, as the ballot box proved.
In very melancholy way, the Union
further says 'the feeling seems to be that
it is best to let him Mayor Davenport run
the city another year" and in a perfectly
despairing tone the Union adds, perhaps
this is best. =" Well, perhaps it is. Once
out of the six times Mr.. Davenport has
been chosen he was elected without oppo-
sition, and it would exhibit very commend
able union and harmony among our peo
pie if it should be done again.t The Union
indicates that such may be the case--anc
if this is really true perhaps Mr.. Daven
port might consent to tserve the people
another wear.

licemen Murrin and Snyder, after com.
hitting Egglesht to Jail, were told by Dav-
export bankers to come over Monday morn
ing and they should be rewarded literally
for their services. They went and were
put off by bubbles, and told to come over
again that afternoon. They went ovel
as requested, and were told to cal

And he got away with it.


There will be found in this paper state
ment of the principles of new society
which may be well for the mechanics, ap-
prentices, the mechanics helpers, and the
laborers Of this county to consider. The
declared purpose is to organize against the
illegitimate use of capital in speculation, to
cut down prices by eliminating the middle
men, and to promote direct interchange
between the agricultural and industrial
classes. Some organization for the pur-
pose Of securing clothing, groceries, house
hold furniture and other articles Of prime
necessity at reasonable rates is wanted.

We believe Mr.. Cotton's bill, meets the
wishes Of every person,on both sides of the
river, outside of the ferry interest. And
if there is danger that Mr.. Hawley,in his
subseryiency to Capt. Robinson, may sue
coed in defeating it and closing the bridge
to the public,it would doubtless strengthen
Mr.. Cotton to receive the public approval.
The bridge question ought to be settled once
for all. If the people of this entire sec
ton have no right to cross the river with
out paying tribute to Capt. Robinson, even
with an extensively constructed bridge at
hand the sooner they know it the better.

There is just the strongest probability
that II. S. Egglesht' is a most accom-
plished and thoroughly professional forg-
er, and that his list of aliases is very much
longer than the prayers he says, By the
time he is through serving out his terms
in the penitentiary he will have little time
left to forge checks. The great mistake
of this grain merchants life was his COM
ing to Davenport; bank men here love
their money too well to part with it on
such short notice -Ddoeaport Democrat.

hold meetings of the people to give further
