Frank Starr is being given a pre-

before Justice Goodell. The COM
plainant is George Schimmerhorn,
who works on a ranch about twelve
miles south of Salem. Starr is
charged with having "held out" the
better part of "a $50 gold piece
given him by Schimmerhorn with
which to pay certain bets he of the
long name had made on certain
games at the Capital saloon. AS
Schimmerholn was pretty well under

money for him. OF course he lost.

Notable Opposition and its Cause.

A dispatch received states that the
question of the policy of bonding the city
of Chippewa Falls, (Which was opposed
by FREQ WeyerhauseD for the purpose of
encouraging and aiding the establishment
of industries there, is the principal topic
Of conversation among the large property
holders and business men. The project
is to pass bill in the legislature, which
provides for bonding the city for $780,.
600 to build one or more bridges across
the Chippewa river at that point. If this
bill becomes law the bonds will be is
sued to the amount called for and the
proceeds paid out as bonuses to any party
or parties desiring to establish factories
there. Thus the true motive is not to
build bridges but to secure funds 10 aid
in building up the city.
Passing the bill under false pretenses
and then Incorporating the funds are
the presumable points upon which the
bill is contested by Fred Weyerhsuser,
Judge r. D. Marshall and few others
who have made thousands of dollars out
of the lumber industry and the natural
resources Of the city.

Probably n Valuable Invention.

Captain Turner, of Lansing, is about
ready for patenting something which, il
successful. will make him immensely
wealthy. 1t is portable funnel shaped
dam. which, placed on sand-bar, will
cause the water to speedily dredge it out
of its own accord. The captain got his
idea of the invention from often noticing
that when several RATS or strings of logs
got wedged in a narrow place. the mid
die one invariably worked its way through
first by the current cutting channel for
it. He has had drawings of it prepared
in Dubuque and shown them to number
OF experienced river men, Major Macken-
zie, the government engineer. and Supt.
Dickie. of the Diamond 10 steam boat
line, among others. Both were highly
pleased with it. the latter gentleman ex-
pressing great faith in its feasibility and
ultimate successful working. Mr.. Tur-
ner is having model made by F. w.
Hancock for patent purposes, and prom
ises to enlighten the public later on.

for its Success.
The Muscatine people are evidently al.
lowing their enthusiasm over the contem-
plated bridge at that point, by the me ans
OF which they hope to get the trade of
the farmers In the lower end Of Rock
Island county. to lead them up to queer
and inconsistent ideas. The Journal OF
that city says that AL the gentlemen
composing the Muscatine Bridge company
are citizens Of Muscatine, most of whom
have no interest anywhere else, and all
OF whom are deeply interested in the pros
perity Of the city. II is. therefore, only
reasonable to assume that al they
have in view is the permanent up>
building of Muscatine and that there
is no danger that while such men
have control Of the bridge it will
be used in any other way than in
the interests of this city. 1t may
not be possible for the city as a cor
poration to absolutely own and control
the bridge, but it will be controlled
by men who have Muscatine's interests at
heart. and the city will have such control
OF the approaches Of the bridges If not
the bridge franchise and the fixing of
tolls. that will make il to oil intents and
purposes Muscatine institution, no mat-
ter from what source the money is OBJ
tanned to construct it."
So much for the object of the enter
prise as one of benefit to Muscatine SOLE
ly; but before the Journal takes another
breath it declares ITO everybody to take
stock, and citizens on both sides of the
river will be urged to help along the en-
terprise in that way" Thus the Rock
Island county farmer will be rendered the
opportunity to take from the storehouse
wherein are the fruits of many day Of
hard honest toll to contribute TO an insti-
tuition that will be used in no other way
than In the interests Of Muscatine. The
farmers of Rock Island county who are
approached to make such appropriations
will act much more wisely to keep their
money and exert combined influence
upon their supervisors who they them.

the roads Of Rock Island county which
