The Davenport police thought they had
unearthed, or rather taken from the
watery deep, mystery similar to the
Maxwell trunk tragedy at St. Louis, yes,
terday, but the whole thing turned out tC
be huge practical joke, in which the
blue coats were the biters. The Demo-
crdt Gdzette tells of it as follows:
One of the clerks in Armour's estab
lishment on Front street, was standing in
the doorway, gazing out upon the river
The wind was blowing from the south>
west and along with it came the odor of a
skunk. The clerk was puZzled-didn't
know what effect the odor of skunk
had upon the nasal organs, having never
experienced the fun of chasing down one
in cOrnheld. However, he drew his
conclusions quickly. The river was be-
coming very rough and storm beaten
waves dashed against the shore anu re-
treated, only to roll, roar and drive
against the shore with greater force
every minute. Several pieces of bark
and slabs of wood had been washed
ashore and at one point on the land,
the slabs and bark had evidently
mingled ogether-presented the APP
pearance of an ordinary travelling trunk
to the clerk standing in the door of the
establishment a Short distance away.
He believed that the wood and bark he
saw in the distance was a trunk and in
the trunk a man. The man had either
been killed in an upper river town,
thrown into the trunk and both hurled
into the river or else the man had borne
the trunk to the river, jumped into it and
committed suicide, and body and trunk
were carried down stream and washed
ashore at Davenport. Every conceivable
vision haunted this young mans mind.
but the one above stated was the prevails
ing one. He telephOned the police that
u man In trunk had been washed ashore
by the storm. A few policemen went
down to the river, but found nothing
there worthy of comment, except con>
siderable amount of wood and bark
washed up by the stOrm-and the odor of
a skunk. The young man believed the
0dor he smelled came from the mortified
corpse of the supposed dead man in the
supposed trunk. The police were not
little chagrined upon discovering that
nothing more than skunk odor had been
the cause of summoning them to the
river

A new law for regulating the press has
been issued by the japanese government and
| is to continue in force for six months only.
| 1t provides that the names and ages of editor
publisher and printers shall be furnished
with every written application for permission
| to publish a newspaper; that the applicants
must be over 20 years of age, japanese sub
| iects, and shall never have been deprived of
their civic rights; that the editor and printer
must be different persons, and must deposit
| as caution money sum of between 920O and
$40, unless the paper is to be devoted wholly
to science, art, statistics or current market
prices.
If any person sends denial or contradic-
ton of any statement that has appeared in
the paper the editor must insert it in extenso,
in the same type as the original statement,
and at the head of the same column as that
in which the latter appeared. But if the
denial is more than twice as long as the orig
inal statement, the extra matter may be
charged for as an advertisement. The excep-
tons to this rule are when the wording Of
the denial is offensive, or if the denial itself
is anonymous.
No newspaper is to publish an article de-
Tending an offense against the law, even
though the law is confessedly bad. No Off
cial documents of any kind may be pub
lished, or even alluded to, without the con-
sent of the department concerned. The home
minister may suspend, prohibit or contiscate
newspaper, if its tone be judged to be detri-
mental to the public peace or injurious to
the public peace or existing customs, how
ever, open to attack these customs may be.
Very heavy penalties are attached TO
breaches of these regulations, which are,
however, described as much more lenient
than those previously in force.-London

Time Gard Changes.

Several changes in time for the arrival

tofore; the Chicago limited No. will
leave at $50 q, M, instead of $3.50 a.
m. /; the Chicago accommodation known
as the La Sale terminates its ran at Day
export instead of going to La Sale. The
night express trains will leave the same
as usual, For trains going west there is
no change in the schedule, excepting
that the $50 accommodation is off.
For trains going southwest, the day ex-
press will leave at $50 q. M; the Wash

7;30 p. m, and Kansas City limited at
9:55 p. m. The Kansas City limited will
be made up of vestibule cars entirely
The only great inconvenience that Rock

be that the Chicago papers which have
heretofore been received on the La Sale
accommodation at $50 will not be res
ceived until the arrival of the Boards
town accommodation at noon.

The reporter placed tine dangerous CON

who is one of the largest dealers in celluloid
goods in the city, continued his conversation
where this incident had interrupted it.
"AIost celuloid is made in France. Would
you like to know how Then listen: A roll
of paper is slowly unwound, and at the same
time is saturated with mixture of five parts
of sulphuric acid and two parts OF nitric
acid, which falls upon the paper in fine
spray. This changes the cellulose of the
paper into pyroxyIine gun cotton. The ex-
cess of the acid having been expelled by
pressure, the paper is washed with plenty of
water until all traces of acid have been re-
moved 1t is then reduced to pulp and
passes on to the bleaching trough. 1t is this
gun cotton which gives it its explosive nature.
"Most of the water having been got rid of
by means of strainer, the pulp is mixed with
from 20 to 40 per cent. of its weight of cam
phor, and the mixture thoroughly triturated
under millstones. The necessary coloring
having been added in the form of powder,
second mixing and grinding follows This
pulp is spread out in thin slabs, which are
squeezed in hydraulic press until they are
as dry as chips Then they are rolled in
heated rollers and come out in elastic sheets.
They are from that point worked up into
every conceivable form. You can get cellu-
loid collars, cuffs, hairpins, shirt fronts,
cravats, penholders brushes and combs, ink
stands, knife handles, jewelry and every
thing else, almost, that you can imagine. l
have seen in Paris room almost completely
furnished in celluloid. The curtains, the
furniture, the door knobs and even the mat
ting were made of this material. You may
be sure no matches were ever carried there.
Indeed, the room was never used. 1t was
only a curiosity, and the man who owned it
owned the factory where it was made.
These ROOMS will never be popular. Few
men, oven in this rapid age, care about being
blown into the kingdom come in small frag
ments, scorched and scattered, and that
would be the fate of the man who let a

A HEAVY SUIT.

Hearing Before the supreme Court Of
the Case of the kentor Lumber 90.
vsthe Davenport Lumber Company.
The noted case OF the Keator Lumber
company VS. the st. Croix Boom company
was presented to the supreme court in
Wisconsin last week. Damages TO the
amount of $150,000 are claimed. These
damages ;are alleged to have been sus>
tanned by the negligence of the St. Croix
Boom company in allowing the st. Croix
river to remain blocked by logs for six
weeks in the summer of 1888. There are
twenty-five items wherein damages are
claimed in the charge. 1t seems that in
the spring of the year named, large vol
umes of water forced thousands Of logs
from tributary streams into the st. Croix
and so filled it that navigation was ims
possible for month and \ half. The j.
3. Keator Lumber company had thous-
ands OF feet of logs in the
blockade. which had been con
tracted for by down river parties.
but which they could not deliver
because of the obstruction in the lake.
In consequence of the delay the persons
TO whom the logs and lumber had been
sold withdrew the contracts, hence the
loss to the company. 1t is further claimed
that the St. Croix Boom company did
not make proper or timely efforts to res
move the obstruction to navigation; that
the corporation has no right to obstruct
an interstate channel by a boom So
called, that it never has received permis-
sion from the state of Wisconsin to ex
tend its boom to the shore of that state
In reply the Boom company asserts that
it was no fault of that corporation that
the blockade occurred; that by the char
ter, the state of Minnesota granted, it
had a perfect right to construct and
maintain a log boom at the point where
the same was at the time of the log jam,
and where it still is. This matter was
tried at Hudson some time ago, and the
plaintiffs were non>suited. They APP
pealed from the decision to the supreme
court.
