effort to escape a few days since. he
secured an old case knife and had with il
dug out the cement and was almost ready

"a Youthful Offender.

One morning about week ago. says the
Moline Dispatch, Chas. BuRge, a
youth Of about a years of age, met Peter
Eklund while he was on his way to the
West Ward school. Bugge stopped Elk
lund, who is smaller boy than himself.
and went through his pockets, taking q
new pocket knife and q few trinksts
from him. Bugge sold the knife and
thought nothing more about the matter
until this morning, when he was arrested
and taken before Justice Grsvsr, who
bound him over in bonds Of 800, to the
County Court. Failing to give bond, he
was taken to Jail.

The Davenporters TO Have . Telegraph
Line 10 Chicago.

Line 30 Chicago
It may not seen feasible but 1t certainly
is, however, that Davenport lie TO have Q
telegraph line of its own to Chicago, and
the money lie ready to DO put up, too, for
the new enterprise. It all comes through
. desire to continue the Board OF Trade Of
that city. and the Democrat thinks il will
be aVsuccsss, The Board has again to
meet the same difficulty which caused
suspension Of the daily meetings and
almost the utter overthrow of the Board
three or four years ago. The Board has
no contract with the American Union sls-
graph company for continuance of its daily
market report. and as the American
Union and Western Union Offices are
about to be- united under the consolida-
| ton Of the two companies. the w .stern
Union folks have notified the Board Of
Trade that they will be unable to furnish
reports for the Board after the two offioes
are united.
Now this is discouraRing-a several

lothsrs-propsss the forma alton OF q COM
pany for the building Of an independent
line Of telegraph between Davenport and
Chicago. by which the Board may obtain
its daily quotations for its black boards.
and private business may bs done on fair
and reasonable terms.
They have secured figures of cost from
an expert IN telegraph building. aud 6nd
that the Independent line can ba CON-
struetsd for sightcen thousand dollars
and three gentlemen stand ready to sub
scribe opa.sixth the amount each; thus
three-sxths Of the capital required is
assured at once. and there is ne doubt
that the rest will be forthcoming when
the project is fairly upon its feet with its
articles of Incorporation and its plans.
The active members of the Board of
Trade are determined that it shall not 60
down again, if they can prevent the disas
ter;and thus tsIe graph plan offers the only
way for its life and prosperity that has
been made known under the new condi
ton of things. There is no doubt that the
line would be q COED investmsnt-and
thsn WHOM the rapid telegraph company
gets to Chicago. why may not this line
become Q part of theirs 10 their western
