Bailey Davenport owns continuous belt of land
from the Mississippi river below Weyerhaeuser
Denkman's saw-mill clean around the south and
west side of the city to Elm street, not foot OF
which can bought for love money. He will not
sell single building lot that any would care 10
purchase, even at double what it's worth. Union
An instance cannot be shown in which
Mr.. Davenport ever refused to sell any
piece of property he owns, at fair valua-
tion provided he could be satisfied that the
purchaser would build upon and i'm
prove it. He will not sell to spectators
men who do not wish to build or i'm
prove, for the reason that, if the land is
not to be improved, but only held for rise,
he may as well hold it as any one else.
That is his policy.
His generosity in every public enterprise
will compare favorably with that of any
man in town. He has given land for in
dustrial institutions. He has offered acres
of his best land to encourage the building
Of factories. He has a standing offer now,
of lot worth $4,000 to $4,000 for library
building, if all the balance of the rich mer
will put up the building Not one of then
has offered to subscribe a cent He has
given land for many public purposes, L
any Rock Island man has done more, le
his record be published-we want to see it
| We presume that people have learned
by this time, that however much they may
differ with Mr.. Davenport, in regard tt
the management Of his property, they viii
not be likely to change his policy by Will
flying and Safeguarding him. If there
are any people in Rock Island who thinl
they have improved the prospects of thu
town by slanderipg and traducing Bale!
Davenport, it would be interesting to SCI
balance sheet of their account published
in that respect.
Mr. Davenport does not pursue the poll
cy with his property which we would pur
tsue if we owned it-but the property be
longs to him, not to US, and he has nigh
to manage it his own way. We should b
glad to see him take the course with hi
property here that Mr.. LIE Claire did, owe
the river, but we doubt if he can beinduce
to do so by abusing him. Those who hav

The Panic Charade Club repeated their
dramatic and musical entertainment at
Hills Opera House, Davenport, last eve
ming, by request, before an audience that,
the Gazette says, was very much larger
than before. We cannot spare space for
reference to the merits of the whole enter
tainment, and the actors, as set forth in
the Gazette, but copy the following in re
lation to lady of this city
"The vaudeville, loan Of Lover, was
presented, with Miss Postlewait, of Rock
Island, as Gertrude, and Mr.. Harry Full
ton, of this city, as Peter Spyke-the other
roles by members of the club. The acting
of Miss Postlewait was very excellent
seemingly simple and natural, very spright-
ly and winning, with fine effect of facial
expression and gesture; in fact fulfilling
the idea of born coquette in love, anxious
to win, appearing careless, yet fearful OF
losing. Of course she was warmly ap-
plauded from the beginning"

The corporations are trying every means
to defeat the State in the exercise of its
right of taxation, and the officers of the
State should be equally actice and ingen-
ious. The railroads have, so far, success
fully resisted every effort to restrain and
regulate them. If they now establish the
fact that the State has no right to tax their
stock and franchises they will enjoy a COM
plete victory over the people.

General A. c. Dodge has been elected
Mayor of Burlington, Iowa, by large ma
jority, having been supported by citizens
of all parties. General Dodge is-or at
least formerly was-a Democrat, but is a
gentleman of unstained record, and was
one of the earliest settlers of Iowa. His
acceptance Of municipal Office is notable
from the fact that ne represented Iowa in
the United States Senate for six years, and
was United States Minister to Spain for an
equal length of time.

dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments Its symptoms are al
most infinite in their variety, and the for

often fancy themselves the prey, in turn,

the close sympathy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and in part also
to the fact that any disturbance of the di-
