Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool. and free from dam
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity OF
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cieanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass,
a gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use of Ayers Hair yigor. "It
stopped. the falling out" lie writes
''and, to my great surprise, converted
my white hair without staining the
scalp) to the same shade Of bYo,cn 1t
had when was % years OF age"

but when the committee on arrangements

thus "anevercary" while on the reverse
side the following letters we're displayed

lately taken down and the committee de-

A HIGH BRIDGE.
A Bonanza for the Owners and a
Benefit to the Public.
A Great scheme 10 Unite the Three
Cities---COst or the Proposed EATER
prise aud How to Maintain IL.

"Eow nice high bridge would look
spanning the Mississippi at this point, y
said an old river man, as he stood near
the overlooked Diamond 10 landing aud
gszed out upon the great expanse Of
water this morning. There ought to be
better means of communication between
these three cities than there is" he con-
timed. Here We have within radius
of six miles at the outside at population
OF $4,000 people, and does it not stand
TO reason that direct means of COM
munication at all times would be mutu,
ally beneficial2"
But started out to speak of this high
bridge subject. II is matter to which
| have given more or less study for some
tine back. 1t might be surprising to
YOU to know that such bridge as have
in contemplation could be built for a
reasonably small amount of money. |
take the recently constructed Dubuque
bridge as basis for my figuring 1. is
1900 feet long, is light high bridge
just such as is wanted here and the whole
cost was 1897, 200 The distance across
the river, say from the foot of west Sew
enteenth street on this side to the foot of
Harrison street in Davenport is $3.50
feet, which with viaducts over the rail,
road tracks and bringing the ends of the
bridge at Second avenue and Seventeenth
street here, and Second and Harrison
streets In Davenport. would make the
entire bridge not longer than 5000
feet, And such a bridge can be built tor
100000. Now am talking of a light
bridge for vehicles and street cars, not
railroad bridge. OF course there would
be no draw necessary as the bridge
would be high enough in the middle 10
permit steamers to pass under"
81 would favor the construction of an
electric street car line over the bridge by
the bridge company, and with tolls Of ten
cents for wagons and five cents for car
passengers, the enterprise would pay 80
per cent on the stock. No wagon or
person will 60 away around by the gov
ernment island when ten or five cents
will take them directly across"
such an institution would attract
new railroads and also commerce for each
of the three cities. The roads terminal
ing in Rock Island would not deem il
necessary to build into Davenport as they
could transfer their freight across cheaper
than they could build and operate their
own line, and in Chicago freight is hand
died and delivered over much larger
territory than the distance between Rock
Island and Davenport, over the proposed
high bridge"
