They Are Much abuseo.

The Democrat says there are 200 sas
looms in Davenport which are paying
800 beverage license" into the CITY
treasury. 1t thinks q third of them
could easily pay $500 license, or even
$500, or S1,000-which is moderately
low estimate of the number that could
thus afford an increase. Mayor Bills in
his inaugural address. proposed to raise
the license to $500, and the proposition
has met with much favor. But there is
a class of Davenport GROCERY keepers
who don't feel like seeing" the new
mayors call. Twenty of these men met
recently and resolved that the citi-
zens represented mad noticed with great
CONSERVATION the determination of Mayer
Bills to raise the beverage license to $500,
that it is the sentiment of this meeting.
etc" that the liberties OF the state and
especially of the city of Davenport, are
to be trod upon by one who considers
himself smarter than 1.-The rest Of as. or
words to that effect. The preamble
wound up with very flowery clause, thu
gist of which was. that in the opinion
of this meeting the business Of the grow
ing and highly prosperous city of Daven-
port would be seriously injured by the
proposed change of license. 1t was re-
solved to take the matter before the city
council and see what could be DONE"

AN OUTRAGEOUS TRICK.
Divulged by a Desperate Attempt
at Suicide.
Two Men Engage Rooms In a Second
Avenue Household and Place
Pair of Adventuresses
in The m.

One week ago today two men giving
their names as Frank Burns and Frank
Williams engaged room in the house of
well-kno~n citizen on Second avenue
for, as they represented. the occupancy
by their wives. That night the uea
took two women to the house, and they
have spent the past week there, the men
remaining away at night claiming that
they had night employment in hotel.
Yesterday the head of the house, whose
suspicious had been aroused, advised his
wife to tell the women that the room
would not be at their disposal after last
night, but during The nigh. one of the two
committed desperate act which divulged
the true nature of things. at l O'Clock
this morning the family was aroused by
disturbances in the rooms of the dodgers
and on breaking into the room, one of
the women was found on the floor in sp-
parent agony. DR.. Meyers was i'm.
mediately summoned and it was soon
discovered that the woman had taken q
dose of elixir of vitriol from 8 4-ounce
bottle. but the doctor was successful in
the administration Of emetics and in re-
storing the woman to consciousness.
She gave her name as Lizzie Reddig, and
her companion as Carrie Brown, the lat
ter's husband being at present in the
county jail. Both are women of ill,re-
pute, but the cause of the attempted sui
eide is unknown.
This morning Burns and Williams VIC: e
arrested by the police, and Magistrate
Wivill fined them s. and costs for d; I,
orderly conduct. A greater imposition
than they have succeeded in perpetrating
has not been committed on respectable
society in Rock Island before The en-
tire qusrtette should be run out OF town.
