THE RIVER.

About 10 o'clock last night the VIII istle
of the new steamer St Paul was heard
Although it was late, many were on the
river bank to get a glimpse of the beau
tiful steamer. As the steamer came
around the bend bon fire was lighted on
the Davenport side, where fully five hun
dred people were assembled. The boat
may justly be termed the Queen of the
Fleet" The Norvoo band was on board,
and gave several fine selections. The
people crowded on board, and the police
had to be called on to keep the crowd
back The steamer left for St. Paul at
daylight.
The St Paul unloaded a car load of
sugar here for II. Dart Il Sons, and
about twenty bales of cotton for the
Milan paper mill. The freight was SC
bulky that it broke the floor of the new
freight house

ALL BROKE UP.

Colonel J. B. Dsnforth, editor of the
Rock Islander, is all broke up. 1t seems
that the Colonel was advertised to speak
at Galva on the occasion of the greenback
convention. The greenback brethren at
Galva forgot to ask the Colonels consent,
and the result was that the Colonel
wouldn't attend, for he felt very indig-
nant. The Colonel was also very wrathy,
and it is feared "gritted his teeth" But,
great heavens, on the day of t he conven-
ton, there came whispering over the
wires:

of the ROckIsEdader. Your services will
not be needed here tomorrow as solicited.

Could anything have wounded q gen
tleman's honor moreH We think not, and
the Colonel Is still wrathy, and one don't
blame him. He should go to work and
write double loaded editorial, filed with
big words and three or four whirlwinds,
knocking the Galva convention higher
than the mule did the coon" that twisted
his tail. The Colonel also calls Colonel

contented with plain liar he calls him

time that Colonel Danforth visits Chicago
and comes home with knot on his head

good taste displayed by its proprietor in
the interior arrangements of this. the
finest place of the kind in the three cities

and converted into card room. The
restaurant and billiard tables occupy the

liquors and cigars. The finest invention
of the age for keeping beer fresh at all
times has just been put in by Mr., Soper.
1t is hydraulic pressure arrangement
which does not allow the gas to escape
from the keg, or the air to enter; conse-
quently the beer is as fresh ten days after
it has been tapped, as it is when first
tapped. Mr.. Soper spares no expense in

Jane Reddig is an accommodating,
good natured soul. She always floats to

this for, lol these many years. She is no

the penitentiary and another in the coun-
ty jail, with good chance of going to

building. Yesterday she borrowed sew
eral pieces of ladies' fine underwear, put
them on, took dose of laudanum
and went to bed. Of course
it made her sick, and the colo
damp of death commenced to creep over
her. She let the neighbors know wha
she had done. and Mrs. DR.. Phelem was
summoned. About 10 o'clock last night
she grew worse, and her husband wal
taken out of Jail and to her rooms to gaze
upon her form before her spirit kicked
itself loose. But her spirit wasn't ready
to 90, and stuck to her carcass. Sh,

Third avenue, opposite Union square, but
the one he sold to Mr.. F. G. A Denk

so. The carriage is trimmed with an ex-

painted and striped in an exquisitely
artistic manner. The carriage is of the
Studebaker manufacture, and certainly
