LONG VACATION OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR BOYS AND
GIRLS Now that our schools are to be
closed for nearly three months it is ques-
ton with great many parents how to
have their sons and daughters spend the
time, after taking rest and frolic for
week or two. People who have had years
of acquaintance with the principals of the
Davenport Business College and know the
great success of their institution for thor
ough practical business training, ofwhich
there is said to be abundant proof in the
scores of former students now filling re-
sponsible positions throughout this city
and Moline. say that this time can be used
both pleasantly and proftably at their in-
stltution. The proprietors say that they
have had to double their corps of teachers
during the past year and greatly increase
their facilities in all departments. Their
new rooms are not only elegant, surpass-
ing anything of the kind in the northwest.
but are especially cool and pleasant for
summer work, having been greatly im-
proved in this respect in their remodelling.
Those who expect to continue in our pub
lie schools another year can have near
three months towards completing theil
course and can then resume their work il
the public schools, finishing their business:
course any time hereafter. They have Dc
vacations and students can enter any day
and continue until completion of full
course. For particulars address Montague
& Lillibridge, or call at their Office, cor

Renwick's Rope Found--The Thieves in
Tail

On Tuesday night 400 feet of u inch
nearly new rope was stolen from the saw
mill of Renwick, Shaw & Crossett, in Dav-
export. Very early that morning, Mar
shall Halves, of this city, saw man with a
lot of rope in wagon, down near Court
Square. When the man saw the marshal
he stopped his horse and got out and com
menced talking with some one on the side
walk. Mr.. Halves did not suspect any
thing wrong and did not go near the par
ties.
1t now turns out that the rope was sold
to junk dealer in Palace Row, named
Shields, and that Shields sold it to the pa
per mill, in Moline Shields says he
bought it from two men, and from his de-
scription, Mr.. Halves was satisfied who
they were, viz. Jim Mcdonald and Jack
Forsyth, alias Foster atlas Gale, etc.
Mcdonald was in Jail. having been ar
rested Tuesday night by Policeman Cor
man, for drunk and disorderly, and on
Wednesday fined S. and sent to Jail for
want of cash.
To-day warrant was issued against
i Nc. Donald and Forsyth. Halves went
} to the Jail and told Nc. he could go-that
he had staid long enough for his fine. He
started to go and then Halves halted hin
! and read the warrant for stealing-no
mentioning what he had stolen. At once
! Nc. said: Z didn't steal that rope, For
i syth did 1t, and he is out at old Burlin
$ games shanty." Then Deputy Sheriff
e Silvis, Policeman Ankrum, and Mcdonald
It in a wagon, started for the shanty on Roc
Z river, found Forsyth and he was locked u
. in Jail. Mcdonald is also confined there

And that is precisely the sort of des-

on rascality. There are ssome 20 or 80
young scoundrels here who ought to be in

the sooner our public officials commence
sending them there the better it will be for
the town. They go on from sneak-thiev-
ing and pocket picking to robbery, burgl-
airy. and incendiarism, and if not reformed
become dissipated desperadoes ending in

DESPERADOES.
High Handed outrages by Escaped
Jail Birds.

QUINCY, Ill, June 1O.-A special from
La Crosse, Hancock county, ILL.,, gives
particulars of the operations of two noted
desperadoes who escaped from the jail at
Oquawka, last week They went through
a jewelry store at Burlington. and from
there went to Disco, where they robbed
eight houses in succession, committing
their depredations in the daytime as we'll
as at night. A deputy sheriff from La
Harpe attempted to arrest them at La
Crosse, their field of operations, yesterday,
but the officer was bound and robbed at
the muzzle of revolvers, and the town was
literally captured. The desperadoes march
ed about the streets with loaded shot guns
and revolvers, defying the people and tax
ing whatever they pleased, saying that the
James and Younger boys were nowhere
compared to them. In the afternoon they
went into the woods, and last night stole a
horse and robbed two men. The last seen
of them was between Carthage and the
river, when they were going south. Fifty
armed men are in pursuit, but as yet have
not succeeded in capturing them.
About $1,000 was stolen from the vi
cinity of La Crosse, but the amount taker
from the other town is not stated. The
citizens of La Crosse offer reward of $500
for the highwaymen, dead or alive.

WOman,S Position at Table.

In Queen Elizabeth's time, the fash
ion came into vogue of placing the princi-
pal joints and pieces ofmeats of the head
of the table, above the salt, in order
that the chief guests might regale
their eyes with the promise of good
cheer before them, and also be conven-
iently served to the choicest cuts. This
custom involved the necessity of cary
ing the meat after they had reached
the table; therefore the ladies were in
vited to sit at the head of the board,
that they might perform the service
which had before been delegated to the
professional carver. It was thus from
no desire to compliment the fair sex
that woman was in the beginning, pro-
noted to the most honorable place at
the table. It was for the selfish conven-
fence of her lord, and not for her own
dignity, that the position was accorded
to her, and as, in medieval society, she
ministe-ed to her guests by preparing
dishes for their enjoyment, often bear
ing them to the table herself, so she
now, in this capacity of carver, con-
tinued in the rank of servitor: But,
with the tact which is her distinguish
ing characteristic, she has gradually
converted the carver's stool into a
throne of state, and assumed the right
to preside over the company through
an Office which originally authorized
her only to help them to food.
