At three o'clock yesterday afternoon
Henry Mundt, son of Mr.. H. Mundt, of
Davenport, was drowned in the river at
the foot of Harrison street. He had been
engaged in fishing on raft, and was
about leaving for home; there was some
floating bark between the raft and the
shore, distance of foui or five feet, that
looked exactly as if there was solid ground
there; he stepped upon 1t, it gave way,
aud be sank, going under the raft instant
ly, and was seen no more. Several boys
who were fishing on the raft heard him
scream, and they rushed towards the
place to help him, but before they could
get to him he disappeared, Mr.. Mundt,
who is a laborer, was notified, and went
to the raft with friends, and commenced
searching for the body with graphing
hooks and ropes.

RECALLED.
George III. Parker's appointment as
Special Agent Of the Treasury
Ree0nsidered.

The Chicago Times of yesterday is an
thority for this statement:
A rumor was afioat in the Government
building in Chicago Saturday, to the ef>
feet that George II. Parker of Daven>
port, who WAS recently appointed special
agent of the treasury department, had
"been relieved" by order of Secretary
Manning. MIR. Parker has made his
headquarters at Chicagoa greater portion
of the time since his appointment, to sta
ton at st. Paul. He received letter
from the department on Thursday, which
decided him to leave for Washington the
same evening. 1t is stated on pretty
good authority that the letter notified
him of the intention of the department to
relieve him from the service on the 10Th
or the 10Th of the present month. The
cause of this action, il it be true, is the
subject of much speculation among the
federal officers.
The above report has had startling
effect in political circles across the river
where Mr. Parker has lived and been
prominently known for years. Mr.. Par
ker's displacement is great surprise. but
is no more so than his appointment was.
1t was genrally conceded at the time of
the election of President Cleveland that
Mr. Parker would get something, but ii
was not thought he would capture as fat
plum as he did.
If the report ABOVE be true, it is prob
ably because Mr.. Manning has found he
has made mistake, or perhaps has been
misled. No one of Mr.. Parker's friends
has any knowledge of this matter,
though it is known that Mr.. Parker is in
Washington, and has gone thither in re-
spouse to summons from the head of til e
treasury department

Won't ALWAYS WIN.

"a sprightly widow with twentyone
children is advertising for husband,
says an exchange. While We believe
there is great virtue in printers ink when
judiciously applied, inasmuch as it has
brought fortunes to men and women, We
do not believe double column ad run in
between reading matter daily for si1
months would bring husband to wild
ow with twentyone children-unless the
latter are kept in the background or I'M
der ground, or somewhere out of the way
We greatly dislike to go back on the ben
fits of advertising, but the line must be
drawn somewhere.

LEAVENwoRrH, HANS, oct. 22.-Thc
Kansas state Temperance union made
raid on the Office of the collector of in.
ternal revenue here few days since, and
attempted TO compel Collector Accrs to
furnish them with list Of the Kansas re-
tail liquor dealers to whom taX.stamps
had been issued, and furnish certified
copies OF the atiidayits made by the
liquor dealers when they took out
stamps to the effect that they are or in
tend TO engage in the liquor business. 1t
Is estimated that there are now 200 rcgu-
lar liquor dealers in the state who have
government permits, but who have not
complied with the state prohibition law,
and the State Temperance union want
the addresses from the collectors office
to be used in prosecuting them The
collector appealed TO Joseph s. Miller
commissioner of internal revenue, who
in his answer, directs Acer, not to fur
nish the desired information, and in case
of subpoena being issued, to request
the United States district attorney to the
court that the papers in question are in
tended by law TO aid In the collection Of
informal revenue, and that they are priv
legged from disclosure on the ground of
