THE recent death at Davenport of
the widow of Antoine lie Claire,
the first settler of that city,
is noted by the local papers. The de-
ceased was the daughter of French
Canadian and the granddaughter of
the Sac chief Acogua. She was mar
ried to Mr.. lie Claire in 1929, and in
1888 they settled on the present site of
Davenport section of land now in
the heart of the city having been re-
served by Keokuk in his treaty stipu-
lations and by him presented to Mrs.
lie Claire. The land thus donated was
the scene of the Sac and Fox treaty of
1882, and the lie Claires builded their
residence on the precise spot then oc-
cupied by the tent of Gen. Scott. The
deceased was well educated both in
English and French, and could also
speak fluently a half-dozen Indian
dialects. Her husband being for years
the interpreter in official dealing by
the government with the Indians, she
rendered him great assistance. Sew
enty-four years of age at the time OF
her death, few persons ever lived to
see greater change upon the face of q
country than Mrs. lie Claire.

Mr.. Murphy was here for a few eve

disposed to deny, though there were
evident signs of disapproval ut some

vantage Of our customers as we'll as
to ourselves. Our stock is not only

selling and what we have to sell is to
call and see for yourself. We are
goirg to sell more goods this fall
than we ever sold, aud the way
We are going to do it is by selling
better goods cheaper. We know il
we sell good goods cheap, that we
can get the patronage of the people,
and If they will call and see us we
will do what we say. Come on. you

Mr.. EDITOR II learn with surprise
and regret that our city fathers (un-
natural parents) refused at their meet
ing last night to repeal the city ordi-
nance compelling the grain buyer to
weigh on the city scales notwithstand-
ing the reception Oft petition signed
by nearly all the business men of the
town requesting the repeal Of the
same.
Upton has for years been the grain
market for large section of country.
The volume Of trade brought into town
on that account has contributed not 0
little to the prosperity of our city
This obnoxious act has driven ouI
grain buyer out of town and prevented
any other from taking his place. The
loss of trade in consequence of our not
having grain buyer is felt very
seriously in our little business circle
and think if our city fathers will
take this matter into further consid.

FAILURE AND ASSIGNMENT.-The
announcements last Friday that the firm
of Mcnamara 4 Casad had made an
assignment for the benefit of their cred
itors, did not occasion SO great feeling
of surprise as of regret that they should
have been unfortunate. In selling their
hardware businessa yearagol lasts spring
they retained their stock Of agricultural
implements and machinery and con-
tinued that branch ofthe business. Al
ready pretty well stocked, they bought
again pretty heavily for last spring
and summers trade. There was great
competition and sales were low, and
the near impossibiiity of making col
lections SO far this fall completed the
business.

less than the so-called Burt shoes

lieve that Stewards shoes are fully as

WHEN it was reported last summer
that rain fell for ten days almost at the
rate of an inch per day, few people
had any adequate idea Of the actual
amount of water which was poured
out over the country. An effort to
comprehend such a flood will be aided
by following out this calculations: IAN
acre is equal to Q, 272, ,64o square inches;
an inch deep of water on this area
will be as many cubic inches of water,
which at 277,274 to the gallon, is D.
62222.5 gallons. This quantity weighs
ooo6, 22oo5 pounds, or 1OO.93 ton. One
