THE LAST DAY.

port TrOtting Association
at an End.
Yesterdays Races Won by Ottawa
Chief and Silver Tail.

The closing day of the meeting Of the
Davenport Trotting Association was as
suspicious as the first, and one of the
most successful affairs of the kind ever
held in the city is at an end. Each day
the attendance was very satisfactory to
| the management, and the weather was of
the very best during the entire meeting.
The officers of the association are to be
congratulated for the very able manner
in which they conducted the meeting, and
for the splendid sport they furnished the
people of the three cities. Their good
success in this meeting will. no doubt,
induce them to try another at q
proper time in the future and if they can
secure such field of horses as those that
have been at the fair grounds this week,
they will have no trouble in drawing a
crowd.

PICNIC PICKINGS.
The Knights of Labor Have q Grand
Time at Brooks Grove.
A Crowd of Large Proportion Present
to Witness the Proceedings.

The much talked of Knights of Labor
picnic took place yesterday at Brooks
grove under the most suspicious circum-
stances The attendance was very large,
and the best of order prevailed 1t is
estimated that fully $500 people were on
the grounds during the day. Nothing of
Importance occurred in the morning, the
principal features of entertainment being
left for the afternoon. Many dined in
true picnic fashion, bringing baskets laden
with tempting eatables, and seeking some
shady nook would make spread on the
green sod. Others preferred to sample
the excellent dinner furnished by Uncle
John Aster.

THE ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS IN
LIFE.

Now, young gentlemen, let me for q
moment address you touching your sue
cess in life; and I hope the brevity OF
my remarks will increase the chance of
their making lodgment in your minds.
Let me beg you, in the outset of your
career, to dismiss from your minds all
idea of success by luck. There is no
more common thought among young
people than that foolish one that by and
by something will turn up by which
they will suddenly achieve fame or fort
une. No, young gentlemen things
don't turn up in this world unless some
body tur@s them up. Inertia is one of
the indispensable laws of matter. and
things lie fat where they are until by
some intelligent spirit for nothing but
spirit makes motion in this world) they
are endowed with activity and life. Do
not dream that some good luck is going
to happen to you and give you fortune.
Luck IS ali ignis fatuus. You may fol-
low it to ruin, but not to success. The
great Napoleon, who believed in his
destiny, followed it until he saw his star
go down IN blackest night, when the Old
Guard perished around him, and Water
loo was lost. A pound of pluck is worth
a ton of luck.
Young men talk of trusting to the spur
Of the occasion. That trust is vain.
Occasions cannot wear spurs, young
gentlemen. If you expect to make
spurs, you must win them. II you wish
to use them, you must buckle them to
your own heels before you go into the
fight. Any success you may achieve is
not worth having unless you fight for it.
Whatever you win in life. you must Con
qUer by your own efforts, and then it is
yours-a part of yourself. #
Again in order to have any SUCCESS
in life, or any worthy success, you must
rqsolve to carry into your work full
ness OF acknowledgement merely suR-
cheney, but more than suficiency. In
this respect follow the rule Of the ma
chinist. If they want machine to do
the work Of six horses, they give 1t nine
horse power, so that they may have a
reserve of three. To carry ON the busi-
ness of life you must have surplus pow
er. Be fit for more than the thing you
are now doing. Let every one know
that you have reserve In yourself
that you have more power than you are
now using. If you are not too large for
the place you occupy, you are too small
for it.-JanaeS 4. Garfield.

communication from Superintendent
HenioR stated: cat an adjourned meet

port in substance:
The committee appointed to confer

honorable gentlemen and learned their
grievances, viz:
A shortage of water n case of fire on
Nicollet avenne caused by the main being
too small. We fnd the city in some cases
outgrowing our water mains, laid years
ago. this main proving to be one of the
number. In case of a very large fire, your
committee have investigated the matter
carefully, and recommend that sixteen
inch main be laid on Nicollet avenue from
Third street to Sixth street as soon as the

requisite funds and order the same laid.
We also report that sufficient pipe can
be borrowed temporarily from the pipe
now being laid on the First street exten-
sion to supply the East side, provided i'm
| mediate steps are taken to replace the
same, as we deem it of great Importance
to the property owners that the much
needed reinforcement of the supply for the
East side should not be delayed.
We find the cost of the NicolIet avenue
main to be $500.
After considerable discussion the city
| council adopted resolution to put six
teen inch main Oh First avenue south from
Third street to Sixth street.
The council took this action, instead of
disturbing the NicolIet avenue main on
account of Interfering with the paving
of Nicollet avenue, and further because
the First avenue main had already been
ordered and assessments made
The matter of supplying the fair
grounds with water was referred to the
committee on public grounds and build
ings and water works, to report at the
next meeting Of the council, which will be

ANOTHER KIND OF DocToR's SHOP

Old Bill McGammon, who keeps a
grocery store in the suburbs of Austin,
is one of the closest men in the State of
Texas, and he abbreviates his words In
writing. He abbreviated the names on
the drawers and boxes of contents in his
grocery, instead of painting the names
in full. For instance, he painted on
the sugar barrel 'Br. Sugar" for brown
sugar, and so on.
One day a feeble-looking stranger
dropped into McGammon's store, and,
after looking around, said:
is DR.. Prunes IMP"
Old McGammon stared, and said he
reckoned not.

have escaped from the lunatic asylum.

getting red in the face.

sponded the stranger, strolling out.

ing the word ''Dried " into "Dr.," for
