A GORGEOUS SPECTACLE.

The carnival OF Boats ON the River
Last Night-Let Rock Island Join
Next Year.
The carnival of boats, the second even
of the kind given under the auspices Of
the Davenport boat and canoe clubs last
evening. was spectacle the equal Of
which has not been witnessed before or
western waters. Rock Island people adj
mired the gorgeous spectacle and appre-
cated its brilliancy no less than they did
the spirit of enterprise and progress that
prompted it. Rock Island indeed wit.
messed more beautiful sight than did
Davenport. for its people saw beautiful
Illuminated city on the opposite side OF
the river. The Rock Island bridge
through the skill and effort of Davis &
Co., also presented an attractive sight
with the graceful distribution of various
colored arc lights and lanterns.
The carnival itself was poem in mag
niticence and grandeur. The beautifully
| Illuminated boats as they fioated down
the majestic stream presented a scene that
was bewildering in its appearance and
effect. A float stationed in the middle of
the river sent up pyrotechnic display
under the direction of Capt. O'Donnell. of
Chicago, fireworks expert. and the vari-
Gus ornamental pieces, such as Neptune
and Vulcan, the words Welcome" and
above all "Hennepin" aroused the greatest
enthusiasm. Davenport did herself proud
and none reioices more in the success
which so richly crowned her public spirit
than do the people of Rock Island.
After the event last evening there was
general desire expressed in Davenport
that Rock Island be invited to Join in
next years carnival. and make even a
grander success. Rock Island will CO.
operate most willingly and gladly in such
plan. With both cities illuminated as
Davenport was last night. the grand old
athSi vi w dtcIS MOulu ne set on nre In
earnest. Rock Island has proited by
Davenports enterprise in this respect and
another year should join in the expense
as well as glory o. such an occasion. The
final success of the Hennepin canal has
linked the two cities which have grown
up as children together. in stronger
bonds than ever. Their interests are
mutual and identical. and in all their eff
forts for advancement there should be
hearty united effort.
Today the frs annual Davenport fair
and exposition is in full blast. Yester>
days races were well attended and well
enjoved. Today large number of peo-
pie have gone over to enjoy the various
attractions. which are all first class, and
worthy of handsome patronage.

THE OUTLOOK.

Predictions Regarding sIr. Cables
Election and Nr. Gest's Defeat.
Throughout the state comes the cheer
ing intelligence that the democrats ev
erywhere have reason TO rejoice. This is
largely accounted for by the fact that the
farmers at last have awakened in a body
to their own interests, and have begun to
study the question for themselves. The
republican orators can no longer pour
into their ears the miserable sophistry of
bygone days. They will no longer be
led to their own destruction, at least
without strong opposition.
Recently the democratic state central
committee met N Chicago and there the
field and prospects were discussed with
the result above mentioned.
Chairman Phelps, who resides at Mon
mouth, said to Morning Necs reporter:
The situation in our district especially
as to congressman, could not be more
hopeful. Congressman Gest has voted
with the republican monopolists on every
question. He has been against the in,
terests of his farmer constituents"
Twill this detection amount to enough
to elect Cable?'
Il think it will easily do So"
"Will these dissatisfied farmers simply
vote for Cable against Gest, or will they
vote the entire democratic ticket?"
They are inclined to vote the whole
ticket. They don't like the republican
national policy. and for that reason they
will vote most earnestly against the con-
gressional nominee. But, being dissatis
fled with the national policy. they will
vote against the entire ticket. It's the
| republican policy they don't like"
Mr. Phelps said that the democrats
would make a strong fight. as usual. in
the Twenty-soventh senatorial district,
composed of Warren and McDonough
counties, and ne believed that they would
be able to win.

kind.
Next to the Importance of having becoming
hat to wear Is the necessity OF knowing how to
arrange ones hair when wearing IL, for no mat
ter how stylish q hat may be, its effect may be
easily spoiled by unbecoming couture. The
Greek style still continues to be the thoroughly
modish couture for evening or reception dress,
but of course It can't be used when bonnet or
hat is worn. For such occasions the day Golf
fure commends itself both on account of its
charming simplicity which obviates the building
up of the hair on the top of the head, and also
because 1t IS so much more apt to be becoming
to the average head and face. The Greek
couture IS very, trying to the round
mead and full round face, as
style of beauty. There is slight indication
that the short curls may be worn again on the
nape of the neck, but they will be very short and
only few of them. 1t is to be hoped that the
dishguring punches Of tightly curled hair will
never be worn there again. They destroyed the
contour of the head most effectually. The thin
fluffy bang remains in favor. Tortoise shell
pins extremely swagger, not the old fash
ioned ones, long and spindly, but the shorter,
more deliberately carved article, with the wear
er's initial in flagree style at the end. The
dagger-shape is also very much worn, but must
not project like the skewer pins OF Japanese
hairdress. The imitation celluloid pins
quite as pretty and would almost deceive the
tortoise himself.
Now that it is such common thing for ladies
young and old to make use of those light. fluffy,
curly fringes Of false hair in order TO get those
beautiful all-over, wavy effects, it behooves the
fair maidens especially to take good care how
they lean their heads against the waistcoats of
