Among persons recently deceased at
Davenport, is Mrs. Elizabeth Mcintosh,
widow OF the late Robert Mcintosh, one
of the pioneers of Iowa. Mrs. M. was
the last of name once famous 10 Iowa.
Her husbands brother, James, was one Of
the eight persons who laid ont the town
Of Davenport in 1886, each holding q
quarter section of land. He was a book
binder by trade. and was at one time
binder for the territory, and perhaps the
carly state. He and his brother Robert
were esteemed very wealthy at one time.
Robert remained reasonably so until his
death few years ago. James. who was
generally considered the wealthiest DUR
ing the flush days of 1886. was ruined
In the financial crash of 1857, and died In
penury in 1862. The brothers were al
ways politically divided. James was a
whig and Robert q democrat. until the
whig party went to pieces and the repub-
licsn party was formed, when Robert
identified himself with the latter, and bis
brother became democrat. The death
of Roberts widow removes the last of the
name from the earth. as neither left any
sons.-Des Moines Capital

The Carnival TO be Repeated.

The Irrswadi Canoe club over the river
held meeting few days ago and took
action looking toward the repetition next
summer of the Carnival of Boats"
which was given so successfully last
July by the canoe club and boat club Of
Davenport. They are beginning thus
early to agitate the project with the end
in view of making next summers carni-
val a pageant many times grander and
more extensive even than that given be-
fore. The business men generally of the
three cities b ave expressed desire to CO.
operate in making the carnival an attrsc-
ton. not only for our own people, but TO
bring people from a distance. and to do
this will require much preliminary work
by the canoe club and boat club. A
committee was appointed at the canoe
club meeting to have this work in charge,
consisting of Messrs. E. s. Hammatt, NJ.

THE NEW BRIDGE.
How the Work is Progressing That IL
TO Connect the Lower End or Rock
Island County With the Iowa side.

How the Work IL Progressing That IL
TO Connect the Lower End or Rock
Island County With the Iowa Side.
Speaking of the new bridge enterprise
which is to connect the lower end of
Rock Island county with Muscatine, the
Ners- Tribune of the latter city says:
Material for the high bridge continues
coming in and the piles of it on the levee
are assuming huge proportions. Nearly
one half the amount of stone needed In
the construction of the piers is already
on hand and the greater portion of the
entire quantity of stone required has been
quarried but will not be shipped in for
some time as it would only serve to block
the way. 1t is expected that from 2, 800
to 2, 700 yards of stone will suffice TO COM
plete all the piers. The three barge loads
Of fine heavy timber towed up from Bur-
lington are being uDloaded on the levee.
The timber is cut from the best Of pine
logs and will be used for grillage pur-
poses. There is 10000 feet of 1t and it
will be placed over the top OF the piling
for the stone piers to rest on Purchas
ing Agent Kile, who has Just returned
from the east, says that the company ex-
pect to transfer the superintendent Of
masonry and his force of men to Musca>
tine by the LIST prox. There were certain
unlocked for drawbacks in Ohio. else the
men could have been brought here sooner
to commence dressing the stone. Mr..
Kile is more than pleased with the smooth
progress of the work so far. 1t Is true
that the driving of piling is going for
ward slowly. but he thinks the contrac-
tor. N. b. Gelatt, is doing nobly consid-
ering that he was pushing ahead while
encountering difficulties that would have
discouraged many another.
Ordinarily the subcontractor drives
from thirty-five to forty pieces of piling
and il less it is considered a poor days
work. At no time has Contractor Gelatt
succeeded In driving more than fifteen,
and some days even as low as eight. At
the place where work was first begun on
foundation for pier No. II, the piling
were made to penetrate the river bottom
with great difflcu lty, owing to the gravel
The character OF the bottom was even
worse at the next point for it consisted
OF alternating layers Of sand, gravel and
clay until rock was reached. At the
third point where the driver is now 10.
Gated. sand and gravel are offering resis-
lance. Mr.. Kile is of the opinion that
work will have advanced sufficient to per-
init of the raising of the csntilever span
by the first of February.

lowed, after which the guests departed

A Good Appetite

Is essential to good health; but at this sea-
son it is often lost, owing to the poverty or
impurity OF the blood, arrangement of the
digestive organs, and the weakening effect
of the changing season. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is wonderful medicine for creating
an appetite, toning the digestion, and Civ
the time to take it. Be sure to get Hoods
Sarsaparilla.
