Bailey Davenport.


No death In the community for some
time has been so generally commented
upon OF attracted the attention as that
OF the late Bailey Davenport As the
Oldest white settler in western Illinois
and eastern Iowa there was linked with
his life historical interest peculiarly
his own. He saw the Indian superseded
by the white race. and the beautiful val
Icy OF the Mississippi transformed from
natures mold into thriving cities. With
the advance OF civilization the lands that
he had acquired from his father and by
his own industry. increased In value. un-
Ill he grew independently rich. As may
or Of the city for seven terms. he enjoyed
local distinction not often accorded TO
an individual.
In many respects. however. the life OF
Mr.. Davenport did not oil the measure
Of his opportunities. There was an
incoagruity in his character that seemed
In hold him back. He looked too
closely after bis own affairs and lived
In comparative seclusion. He did
not come in contact with men of
sifairs sufficiently 10 remove the
crudeness and habits Of pioneerism.
He evidently failed to fully COM
prehend the evolution Of the times. His
ideas were dis,inctively his own. and II
was almost impossible to change his opin"
ions when once formed. But notwith'
standing these and other slight defects
Bailey Davenport was a remarkable man
and be left his impress on the commun
ity. He was honest. conscientious and the
friend OF the poor and 1t is sincerely to
be regretted that his later life had not
contained more gehiality and warmth.

of New Mexico to persuade the territorial
committees of the house and ST nate to agree
to report an omnibus bill admitting the
territories of Idoha, Wyoming and New Mex

TO the passage of the bills for the admission
of those two territories, and il has been sug-
gested that a union of interests with New

The Bodies of Thirty Dead Infants Found
In One Locality.
Boston, Jan. ll.-At different intervals
during the last year dead babies have been
found in the neighborhood of Dearborn and
Eustis place, Roxbury, all of them showing
that the cause of death was neglect and
starvation. The infants were all wrapped
up in a newspaper or an old shirt, tied with
Irvine in such way as to indicate that they
were left by the same person. About thirty
starved innocents have been found, and all
the signs pointed to the existence of a baby
farm in the neighborhood.
A Suspect Refused a License.
Mrs. Evelyn Abbott, who occupied the
house at Dearborn place, was suspected by
many persons as being the conductor of the
"farm," the more, because one day in last
November the dead body of 2-months-old
infant was found in Franklin park, bearing
a slip having upon it Mrs. Abbott's name
and address. But even with this evidence
the health board made no move in the mat
ter. Thursday, Mrs Abbott applied for a
license She denied all knowledge of how
the dead bodies were left out of doors. The
board decided not to grant her request.

A Boiler In the Heart of the City Bursts
several People Hurt.
CHICAGO, Jan. ia terrific boiler ex-
plosion occurred shortly after O'Clock
yesterday afternoon in the basement of the
John Morris Stationery and Printing com
pany, rs to 100 Monroe street, causing 800
900 damage, but NO loss of life, though
several of the small army of employees were
seriously and many slightly hurt. The en-
tire front of the buildings, as pertains to
glass and doorways, was blown like chopped
straw into the street. Great pieces of heavy
plate glass were strewn for half a block
around. SO great was the force of the ex-
plosion that pieces of glass were stuck into
the woodwork of buildings across the street
A part Of three floors in the rear of the
Morris building were torn up and splintered
as though by a cyclone
Names of the Injured.
The cause of the explosion is not definitely
known. The following is a list of the most
seriously injured: Charles Wilson, engineer,
badly cut about the face and head, hands
badly scalded, but not thought to be seri-
ously hurt; Miss Harrall, cut about face and
head; W. J. Hartman, Herman Swanson and
J. H. Smith, badly cut by flying glass
George Burgess, teamster, blown across the
street into an open doorway, receiving bad
wound in the head, seriously hurt, but not
thought fatally so.
Might Have Been Much Worse.
Altogether fourteen persons were injured,
most of them slightly. The escape Of others
is somewhat miraculous. The building is
situated ON a street that is crowded all day
with people, and the panic when the glass
began flying would have been amusing
II the peril had not been so great. The con.
cussion was terrific, and the plate glass In
many windows along the street was broken
Inside the building everything WINS upside
down, while the rush Of the employees to gel
out was a regular stampede.
