THIS MORNINGS STORM

The storm this morning was a severe
one. The wind blew hurricane for half
an hour, scattering everything loose into
the air. Then the rain commenced to
fall, and poured down for half an hour.
Many of our citizens thought that a
genuine Iowa cyclone was coming across
the river. Although it was nearly 7
o'clock, it was so dark that gas and
lamps had to be used. The city of
Davenport could not be seen from First
avenue, so dark and low down were the
clouds. Not much damage was done in
the city, but it is feared that standing
grain has been greatly injured. The
storm was most severe on the Iowa side
of the river, and no doubt much damage
was done in Scott county

THE KEITHsBURG BRIDGE.

Work on the bridge across the Missis-
sippi at Keithsburg is being pushed rap
idly Advices from Keithsburg are TO
the effect that pile driving on the other
side of the river is booming. Black
Hawk chute will be finished this week.
The graders are at work on the island.
The grade will be 20 feet wide on the
base, and 40 on top. j. d. Lynch, the
contractor, advertises for 300 teams, at
$40O per day and 200 men at S1,75 per
day 1t is thought that as soon as all
the work here is completed, Lynch's
force of men and teams will be put on the
Lacon branch. Lynch is going to build
a double track grade from the upper end
of the town to the river, to the point
where the government surveyors located
the draw pier for the bridge. This will
throw the approach about half mile
north of the depot

THE TELEGRAPHERs' STRIKE.

As stated yesterday, the telegraph OPP
orators in Chicago have struck. AT noon
the order was issued by the executive
committee of the Photographers Brother
hood, and all the employees of the Western
Union Telegraph company, who are mem
bers, quit work, and business was in con
sequence almost suspended. In Chicago
there are at least 800 operators employed
by the Western Union, and all but about
IS walked out. The excitement runs high
among the spectators and business men,
as they rely almost entirely upon tele-
graphic communication for the transaction
of their business. To many, any inter
ruption will be followed by considerable
financial loss, and to prevent this the tel
graph company will do its utmost in sup
plying the places of the.strikers for the
present.
In the Rock Island office only one man
quit. Frank Lohr, the night operator.
The railroad operators are not embraced
in the strike, and their only obligations to
the Brotherhood are to refuse to take the
places of the strikers in the Western Tn
MON offices.
The sympathy of the public is all on the
side of the strikers. 1t Is fight of Labor
against Monopoly. Labor should win,
but it is doubtful if it will The Western
Union is strong company. 1t can crush
almost anything opposing 1t. 1t is an
oppression of labor and a bold robber of
the people The Western Union is a
corporation with a paid up capital of
about twelve million dollars; but it has
"watered" its stock to one hundred mil
lion. Its robbery of the people has been
so great, its greed has been so rabid, tha
it has paid 8 per cent dividends on its
one hundred million of of Watered stock.
This is dividend equal to IS per cent on
every dollar invested. Last year it paid
s., 900, 900 in dividends, and this, too, on
a real capital of $12, 100000 There is
no honest, fair minded man but who will
be on the side of labor in its fight against
such corporation.

LOOKING FOF JUMBO.
The Story of an Old Lady who Thought
Jumbo was in the Baggage Car.

An amusing incident occurred at the
c., B. & Q train the other night The
Aledo female band was on board, dressed
in their flashy suits They attracted the
attention of an old lady across the car,
and when the conductor came through
she hailed him.
Mr.. Conductor" said she, who are
those peoplef"
"Oh, thoser said the conductor with
out blush, why. they are a part of
Barnum's circus"
"Barnums circus on this tram, is it2
said the ancient dame. La, me, didn't
think that But where's JumbO?"
Hes in the baggage car" said the
Con-"
Before get off, and when it gets
daylight, want to see Jumbo, the old
lady replied in childlike simplicity
She evidently thought that Jumbo was
really slowed away in the baggage cal, fol
when she went to get off she tried TO get
in the car, saying she intended to see
Jumbo. The conductor told her that he
had crawled into his trunk and was sleep
ing and hurried her off. When she got
on the platform. she said to the conductor
ooh, please show HE Jumbo" and as TIM
train moved away, she eagerly strained
her eyes TO get glance at the much COW
eted sight,
The question naturally arises, is there
a heaven for such dcceivers as that con
ductor? Old ladies should beware of him
and anyone having grandmothers or ole
maid aunts, who are suffering from tn
.'simples, should not send them on thi
mischievous conductors train. You cal
avoid him by asking for Stanton.
