NOTES HERE AND THERE.

"A. s. Aston, of Davenport, has as
signed again. The practice is periodical
with him.
''The Little Sneak" don't know the
difference between the words personally"
and officially"
"A ten year old daughter of Patrick
Boylan, of West Davenport, was burned
to death in the usual kerosene way on
Wednesday evening the It'll.
"A friendly foot race took place last
evening on Moline Avenue above Center
Station, between Thos. Williams and Pete
Hunsucker, in which the former was vic
torious. Distance run 100 yards. Tonight
there will be another race at the same
place between Williams and young Brooks,
at $50.
On Monday the 9Th the body of man
was found floating 10 the Mississippi river
about u miles above Buffalo, Iowa. JUS
tice Thorn held an inquest. The body was
examined-no marks of violence were
found upon it. The face was so swollen
that it would be unrecognizable. The hair
was all off the head, and it was supposed
the body had been in the water about two
weeks. The clothing consisted Of dark
brown pants, white shirt, white undershirt
and drawers, a pair of white socks. and
| fine boots, No. 6 in size, with circular tops
and box or capped toes. There was no
coat nor hat. There were whiskers of
sandy color under the chin. In one pocket
was a calf-skin pocket-book, containing
$3.50, piece of paper on which was writ
ten IT. Baxter, ten dollars and seventy-six
cents Keokuk Northern Line deck pas
sage ticket No. 6,7S3, Davenport to ST.
Louis, trip five CLERKS name not legiblel;
also Northern Line baggage check No.
Al, a key for small trunk or sachel, and
pocket-knife with the letter wv" marked
on the handle. The jury returned YER
dict that ''the deceased came to his death
by accidental drowning, or by causes not
known to u.s." The passage ticket and
baggage check have been brought to the
Keokuk Northern Lineofice in Davenport,
SO that steamboat clerks may be consulted
as to who bought the ticket, and that the
baggage may be looked up. Thus it may
be ascertained who the deceased was.
