Davenport, it is reported, has de-
termined to magnify the appearance of
her population between this and the time
the census Of 80 is taken. by including
the dogs Of the city in the next direc-
tory. II is plan that Moline
will doubtless follow suit in. II is
said to be a fact that Minneapolis in
cludes the names OF dogs in her city di-
rectory, and that II was a st. Paul man
who made the discovery. while looking
for Carl Baxter. colored, Waterman,
Crescent club" He found that Carl was
fine brown dog. owned by W. II. Bax-
ter. the steward Of the club. This has
led to further investigation. and it is
found that there are thousands of dogs
whose names figure in the directory, and
are used to make IL appear that the pop
ulation Of Minneapolis is over 200. 900.
The real population is alleged to be about
10000.

velops the fact that the burning OF John
Schall's barn last Wednesday morning at
$50 o'clock was the work of an incendi-
airy, or tramps sleeping in the barn. i,
was at first supposed the confagration
was caused by spontaneous combustion
from hay stored in the barn, but the hay
was perfectly dry in the part where the
fire originated. Mr.. Shall first discovered
the fire by the reflection on the wall of his
sleeping room. He Immediately awak-
ened the household, but by this time the
entire upper part of the barn was ablaze.
The horses were terribly frightened and
almost overcome by the heat, and 1t was
with considerable difficulty that they
were taken from the barn. All the stock
was saved, also some of the harness
Everything else went up in the flames.
The contents were about 100 tons Of hay,
200 bushels of corn, all the farming i'm
plements and numerous other articles.
The barn was 40x100 feet with basement

Remark ably Close ..asI

There was a remarkably close call to a
serious accident in Moline Yesterday
morning. The driver of wagon belong
ing to Samuelson Il Johnson drove up to
the railroad crossing and as he came near
C., Il. & q tracks he saw the IL o'clock
passenger few rods away coming at a
rapid rate of speed. He whipped up the
horse to get across. aud AS he did so the
sudden exertion of the animal broke off
the single.tree. The shafts dropped
down, and the only thing that now at
tached the vehicle to the horse was the
lines. which were fastened to the back of
the seat. BY these the wagon was drawn
slowly across the track in front of the
approaching train, which missed the rear
end of the wagon by about two feet. Had
the shaft points caught on the rails, and
1t is wonder they didn't, there would
have been fatal collision, there being
two persons in the rig at the time. After
the wagon missed the engine, the horse
became frightened. and upset the wagon.

lines then became loose. and the nag ran
a short distance. but was caught. There
was no damage, except some slight breaks
