A FLOATING QUEEN.
A Little Craft In Which Mr.. r. {. vii.
lert0n Takes Just Delight.
Its Description.

Mr.. r. G. Willerton. chief clerk at the
Harper. house, is the proud possessor OF
one of the prettiest little crafts that
graces western waters. 1t is a pleasure
boat, clinker built or lap streak, its di-
mansions being seventeen feet long by
forty>two inch beam. II has a sharp
cut-away>bow, and a clean cut-away
square stern, giving her as nearly perfect
lines as can be made and making boat
which may be handled with ease, by
oars. The boat is painted a
bright blue with just enough
of delicate gilt stripe on the
outside to relieve the monotony of color.
The inside is a pinkish hue, forming a
pleasing contrast with the outside and
making harmony of color that is not
gaudy. but neat and attractive. The
lazy back is of walnut, on the back of
which is the word Hattie" in green and
gilt letters, Mr.. Willerton having appro>
priately named his craft after his wife.
The rudder is also made of walnut, and
on the stern is painted in tasty
letters ''R l." She is rugged with spoon
oars and brass row locks Her seats are
cushioned with maroon plush and she is
as complete in every detail as human
skill and taste can make her She will
carry four to six persons comfortably and
with absolute safety and her owner has
reason to take the delight he does in her.
The boat is source of special granti-
cation to Mr. Wilerton, inasmuch as she
is constructed after his own ideas as to
model and design. Mr.. John De Neal,
formerly of Toledo, Ohio, and now engi-
neer at the Harper house, Is the builder.
and he therefore shares in the pride of
Mr.. Willerton in the pretty little craft.
Mr.. De Neal is an expert and genius in
mechanical art as the boat testi6es, and
wlthal valuable man In any capacity he
may serve. While the merits of the
boat speak for him as a mechanic, Mr.
Harper may be congratulated upon seeur-
ing him as an engineer.

Trying to Mil Him Off

The Rock Island ARGUS is making it as
hot as possible for l.. V. Eckhart, city
marshal in Rock Island. And voc be
unto Eckhart each time q criminal fails
of arrest in that burg. Some of our Mo
line readers may not know the why of
this eternal vigilance" on the part of the
ARGUS. Here it is in nutshell. There
is a sheriff to be elected next fall, and
Eckhart is in the field for the Republican
nomination. Well, never mind, ii the
ARGUS manages to kill of Eckbart (which
isn't at all likely, Moline has a pretty
good marshal whose name ouldn't look
so badly on the Republican ticket.-No
line Dispatch
Why, bless you, Dispatch, we have no
desire to kill or Chief of Police Eek
hart. On the contrary we wish to elevate
him to that sphere where it is evident be
should stand. Only for his untiring
vigilance aud brass buttons our city would
be overrun with tramps and cows and the
Lord only knows what else. He is the
biggest toad in the puddle down here,
and if he don't get the republican
nomination for sheriff, it will not be be-
cause he don't want it. And the ARGUS
is willing to aid him in any manner to Sc
cure the nomination. We would like to
have some fun with Eckhart afterwards.
He would make hard fight for the pl ace
and if he got votes enough he would be
elected Eckhart's skiliful capture of
Frank Wray in the Muscatine Jail,
stamps him as shrewd and courageous
detective, and that event, if it were prop
erly explained to the voters of the coun-
ty, would aid him greatly As for Kit
tleson. he wouldn't make bad sheriff,
bu. We imagine that Eckhart is way
ahead of the hounds, and it would be use
less for him to enter the field at this late
lay

An Orator

Supervisor Noah, of Yuma, bids fair to
be shining light in the present board of
supervisors. Our attention was first al
traeted to Noah by the familiarity of his
name TO the occupant of the
ark in the days of old. Dur
ing his first term on the board Noah felt
his way carefully, and listened rather
than spoke. But on Tuesday he came
forth from his seclusion and electrified
his hearers by brilliant burst of oratory,
which almost equaled some OF the efforts
of his predecessor. NJ J. McEniry. We
are glad to see the rubicund and iovial
Zumaite Come to the front, and ada fresh
laurels to the town that boasts of a Nc
Entry, Payne and other geniuses. The
town itself, amounts to little, but the in
habitants thereof are built from the
ground up. We will watch Noah's future
career with much interest
