The Rock Island & Peoria train took
out big load of passengers from the
Union depot this morning.
The western travel is said to be picking
up and is now ahead of the eastern pass
senger travel.
About the quietest place we ever saw
was the Union depot this morning. But
very few passengers were there waiting
for trains.
In the round houses this morning: c.
r. /. & P, 10 engines; R. l. & p, en-
gines; c. B. & O., II engines, This is
more engines than have been in the 20"
round house at any one time this year.
The painters who are working on the

account of their supply of paint being
short. However, they expect to have their
work completed by next "Wednesday.

The Supervisors.

The members of the board of supervis
ors assembled at the Rock Island & PEG.
ria depot at $50 yesterday morning and
went out to Coal Valley to take look at
the poor farm. After getting aboard the
train, it was found that twentyone mem
bers of the board were present, besides
one or two other gentlemen who accom>
panied them. When arriving at Coal
Valley, transportation was found waiting
to take them to the poor farm, and all
embarked and were soon at the home of
the INDECENT population of Rock Island
county. The board examined the build
ings, including the new building, and
found everything in apple pie order. The
growing crops they also found in excellent
condition. After the inspection, the
members sat down to bounteous feast
of good things prepared by Mr.. Robert
son, the steward, to which ample justice
was done, after which the board returned
to the city in the afternoon, having trans
acted the business required of them by
law. and having had a pleasant day.
sojourn with the hospitable people of
Coal Valley besides The board are well
satisfied with the management of the poor
farm. Everything works there like clock
work The inmates are well cared for,
and have no reason to complain of their
treatment.
The members of the county board met
this morning at 10 o'clock pursuant to ad
jourrment Present all members.
The first thing that was done was
to hear the report in regard to the poor
house. After this some miscellaneous
claims were allowed, also the Jail bill.

-Four of a Kind.

Last evening four well known young
men of this city stood near the court
house in conversation. Suddenly one of
them drew a daintily perfumed billet
doux from his pocket and read a passage
from it to the others. ''I'll go the cigars
for the crowd that have letter from the
same female" said one. The bet was
taken and the letter produced. Itwas an
exact copy from the same writer. want
to bet any more cigars?' chorused the
remaining two as they each drew letter
from their pockets. Number one didn't,
but the letters were compared, and all
were alike. They were from an upper end
maiden's pen, maiden upon who each
of the boys had made mash. Cigars
were due from some source, but as the
joke was upon all of them, a Kentucky
treat followed. The letters have been
consigned to the flames.

COME TO AN UNDERSTANDING.
Capt. Whitney Buys out His Sons In
terest In the Whitney Fleet
for $4,000.

The trouble of Whitney & Son is now
at an end, and we are glad of it, for it is
bad thing for father and son to fight
like cats and dogs. It will be remem
bered that Whitney & Son, in the sere and
melancholy leaf, used to run fleet, com
posed of large number of boats. The
great and only J. B Buck was also con
nected with the firm, and he and the elder
Whitney formed mutual admira
ton society, and were as thick as
molasses after it goes to sugar. The son,
who had charge of the books, did not like
the intimacy which existed between Buck
and his father, and in order TO put stop
to it. gently limited to his noble sire that
Bucks services could be dispensed with,
but the old gentleman hardened not. but
stiffened his neck and steeled his heart,
and refused to do as his son desired. Then
there commenced to grow a feeling of
bitterness between the father and son.
The father asked fora dissolution in part
nership, to which the son was willing, on
one consideration, which was that one
half of the boats should be turned over to
him. Whitney senior was willing to do this
on one consideration, and the considera-
ton was that the son would show up the
books, and let an expert examine them.
This Whitney junior refused to do until
half the boats were turned over to him.
Neither party would concede thing to
the other, so the matter stood stata quo
for about week. One night Captain
Whitney got his balance book to his side.
and together they got all the boats and
left Keokuk and came here. The son, as
soon as he discovered the boats were
gone, went to the courts and secured the
appointment of receiver. Then he and
the receiver came to Rock Island where
they found the boats in Kahlke Bros.
yard. No understanding could be had
between the parties here, so the receiver,
aided by Sheriff Reticker and his deputies,
took charge of the feet, and removed the
boats back to Keokuk, from which court
the receiver derived his authority. Yes
terday the matter was settled by Captain
Whitney, ST., buying the boats at the
receivers sale. The amount paid was
just 1913, 900. 1t is understood that one
half of the amount of the sale, after the
expenses have been paid, will go to the
son, the other half to the father. The
expenses incurred in the litigation will
amount to nearly $4,000, rather costly
piece of foolishness.

there has been bone of contention. In

A Medicine Man.

The boys up at the union depot have

George Berry. George is hostler at the
c., f. l. & P. round house. That is to
say he ''rubs down" the iron horses that
traverse the c., R. l. & P. road Georges
duty Is not at all arduous. He finds
plenty of time after he has taken care of
the engines, to sit around and tell yarns
to the boys. Some time ago he came to
the conclusion to mix up medicine. He
mixed up whole lot of it. The medi-
cine he warrants to cure everything and
everything, pole evil, sway backness,
headache, earache, toothache, in fact he
warranted the stuff effacious enough to
cast seven kinds Of devils out of a man
He sold several bottles of the medicine
and the boys now tell him that they in
tend to get an officer after him, and have
got George as mad as wet hen.

The Saw Mills.

There are rumors afioat that the saw
mills in this city will shut down after the
18th of September. We hope. however,
that the rumor is untrue. We do not see
why the mills do not run as long as they
can get logs 10 saw. 1t seems to us that
lumber can be made as well in the fall as
in the spring. The fact is the mills do a
big rushing business in the summer. They
try to make lumber as fast as they can,
and by every means in their power seek
to expedite the time in getting out all the
lumber they can. This is right. bat at
the same time it is great inconvenience
to the workmen, who by this scheme can
only have six months work in the year.

hoped to see an abundant harvest of long
waving grass there long before this time,
but apparently our hopes were only born
to die in despair. Hardly a blade of
grass can be seen in the barren place
where we expected to see turf. Why this
is so we don't know, but we do know it
is so.
