Se|f-Adjustng . no Position

The White Mountain Hammock Chair
differs from all other stationary or reclining
chairs in that it is better, stronger and simp-
Ter, is adapted to the house, lawn, porch or
camp, and is just chuck full of quiet COM
fort and blessed rest. Is far superior TO the
hammock in every way, and can be put up
so as to be always in the shade.
By its peculiar construction it is balanced
in all positions, requiring no fsstenings to
keep it in place. The foot-rest can be
quickly and easily adjusted to suit the short
est or tallest persons. The seat is made OF
strong canvas, fitting perfectly the entire
length, without drawing the clothing tightly
around the body, thus making il much
cooler than hammock; while the annoy
ance of catching buttons, tearing down the
ladies hair, or in any way displaying the
limbs is avoided.

the cars to the trestle work, but mule

THE FESTIVE CANINE.
A Practical Plan for Dealing with
Worthless Curs..A Good Device
for Rock Island.

The last few days have been most pro-
life of dog fights and the season is ap>
preaching when dogs are good deal OF
nuisance. In Rock Island there are
vast multitude of dogs whose numbers
could be safely put down as legion, and
in the lot are a heap of worthless ours
whose room is far preferable to their
company. An exchange contains the fol-
lowing idea of a prominent citizen in a
sister city which gives practical plan of
dealing with dogs, and as it fits this city's
case exactly and is fine advice, we repro
duce it below:
There is great surplus of stray days
in this city. The fact is that il has been
several years since q successful dog
catcher has been employed to capture the
useless dog. Our notion about this dog
matter, and to bring it properly under
control, is this this; The legislature should
pass law giving county boards of SUI
pervisors of each county the power to
authorize the county clerks of their re-
spective counties TO annually have made
as many dog medals as there are likely
to be dogs in such county the current
year. Then let it be made the duty of
such county clerk when the different
| town assessors annually call for their
books on the first day of May to charge
each assessor up with the total number
of dog medals given him; the assessor, in
making his rounds for personal property
assessment, to leave a medal wherever he
finds dog, the dog being listed the same
as is now done under the present law.
The number on the medal is then entered
on the schedule opposite the place where
the dog is listed. From the schedule the
number of each medal is carried into the
assessors book into the proper place, and
from there transferred into the collectors
book when it is made up. 1t would at
once remove all doubt as to the owner
ship of dogs that had been listed. The
names of the parties appearing on the
collectors book where the number of the
medal received from the assessor would
stare them in the face, and there would
be no. denying the fact that they had a
dog at the time of the assessment
Then again should medal be taken off
of dog the rightful owner could readily
prove the number of his medal by the
records After the assessor had complet>
ed the assessment and made returns of
his books to the county clerk, the assessor
takes credit for medals to the total num-
Der of dogs returned as listed, and also
makes returns of those left over. Now
then let the town board of auditors of the
different towns be vested with the power
to select some suitable person as dog
catcher, and turn him loose, say on the
1st of July, the pay to be fixed at so much
per head for each dog that he catches and
kills. OF course the dog catcher is 10 take
in only such dogs as are without medals.
The dog catchers to be paid out of the
money in the town treasury.

RAILROAD RACKET.
The Proposed Route Of the 60" into
st. Paul-.-Other Railway Notes,
Local and In General.

1t is understood in railroad circles to be
definitely settled that the c., B. & 9.
will make a strike for st. Paul and Mln>
neapolis business, so as to hold its own
with its great rival, the c.. r. |. & P.
The line has been formed between Chica.
go and st. Paul, by the Burlington, Ills
nois Central and Minnesota & Northwest
tern. The line will be over the Burling-
ton to Forreston, thence on the Illinois
Central via Dubuque and Waterloo to
Mona, Mitchell county, Iowa, and thence
over the Minnesota s. Northwestern to
st. Paul. 1t is roundabout" line, but
it ia claimed it will be nearly as short as
the Northwestern or Milwaukee & St.
Paul, and shorter than the Rock Islands
albert Lee Route" The Rock Island de.
mics this, and declares it will beat the new
line ON time, just as it does the other
Wanted Shorter" lines. Neither the
Burlington nor the Illinois Central has at
present direct line to st. Paul. The Bur.
lington has been in the st. Paul pool, but
only on business between St. Louis and
st. Paul. The Illinois Central did no pas.
senger business between St. Paul and
Chicago. During the summer months it
had an outlet for freight business via the
upper Mississippi boats, but during the
winter it depended on connecting lines,
which gave it no chance to do st. Paul
business at even terms. Through trains
will run regularly after July %. New
coaches and Pullman sleepers are now 10
course of construction, to be put on the
line. No arrangements for running
freight trains have yet been perfected,
but it is understood that there soon will
be. The formation of this line will, it is
said, still further complicate northwest
ern traffice affairs.
Notice has been received here that the
officials of the freight departments of the
c., r. l. & P, c., NJ. i st. P, c. & n
W, Union Pacific and Central Pacific
railroads have agreed to form Cali
fornia Fast Freight line" The line viii
commence with 1000 cars and run from
Chicago without transfer to San Fran
cisco. The time by this line is to be much
faster than heretofore made-not to ex'
coed nine days. Mr. Sam De Bow is gen
eral manager of the line, with headquar-
tiers at the Union Pacific office in Chi
cago.
A new time card will go into effect OIL
the c., T. I. s P next Sunday morning
A few changes in the running of The
trains will be made, but these have moi
yet been officially announced. 1t i:
thought, however, that the early train
from the east which usually arrives here
at 4:55 will come fifteen minutes later
and the Gas evening train from the south
west will get in few minutes later

THE FRUIT MARKET.
Over Abundance of Strawberries at
Present--The Season and Pros
poets in General.

The fruit market is in the height Of the
strawberry season for the crop produced
in this locality. The prices are to 10
cents FER quart for the fine and extra fine,
while it is only the rare varieties, extra in
size II not in flavor, that sell for more.
being purchased as curiosities rather than
for qualification of the palate. The small
est berries. and they are often the sweets
est and of the best flavor, sell so low as
to afford delicious fruit repast TO every
poor family that desires it. There are no
finer strawberries in the world than those
that grow in this vicinity, and this season
they are of unusual average size, deep
colored. highly favored and abundant.
This may be called the age of fruit, :"
well says an exchange. Fast sailing
steamships and lightning railroad trains
have released us from our old dependence
upon the locality we lived in, and brought
all climates to our doors; and one result
is an enormous increase in the consump>
ton of fruit" Strawberries were re-
ceived in this city from southern states
in March, the supply gradually increass
ing as the sources OF it advanced north
ward. Formerly the strawberry seasons
lasted about two weeks; now it lasts four
months. 1t is overlapped by the season
for raspberries and blackberries, which
have already appeared. Next week Geor.
gia watermelons will be in market, and
the crop of Muscatine Island will project
the melon season into September. In the
meantime, cherries, plums, pears and
peaches will come in to diversity the
scene. Grapes will follow and carry Is
into November Apples will follow, then
cheap oranges from the south. and then
bananas from Central America-and be-
fore the bananas are half through with
strawberries will have come again
From years end to years end the mar
kets are supplied with several kinds of
wholesome fresh fruit, the product either
Of our own or foreign lands, New Orle-
ans has feet of fruit ships which dc
little else than bring bananas and cocoa
nuts from Honduras; New York has a
much larger feet engaged in the same
business; and the increasing number of
fruit trains" on our north and south
railroads shows the proportions the trade
is assuming. The country consumes ten
times as much fruit as it did twenty years
ago and the demand is constantly in
creasing.
