Hailux Zen Mischief.

While All Hollow cen was attend

there was good deal of deviltry
committed. Gates and signs were
removed, and when Circuit Clerk
Gamble arrived Mt his office this
morning he found sign on the
county building to the effect that it
was for sale by Reidy Bros. The
most reckless piece of mischief was
the greasing of the street car track
over portion of the Elm street hill.
Fortunately the first car that struck
it was up bound, and the motorman
made the discovery by finding his
car slipping back. and..was obliged to
get off and clean the rails. Had the
car been going down. considerable
damage might have resulted.

hose company turned out and put a
stream on the building before the de-
partment received the alarm. While
the fire was effectually subdued. the
damage to the building by water was
extensive. amounting to about 300.
The house is insured for 5000. while
there is insurance oi 500 on the fur
niture. both policies being in A. ID.

pany hose company no doubt had the
best intentions in putting water on
the fire. vet the council ought to
adopt ordinances forbidding the use
of water on any occasion except in
cases where the fire is under great

HIS LAST VISIT HERE.
when Mayor Carter Harrison Came to the
Tfl-Cities In the Interests Of EIennepin.

when Mayor Carter Harrison Came to the
Tri-Cities In the Interests Of Hennspin.
The Hennepin canal was only a
probability of the future in 1881,
when it formed the chief topic of dis
cussion at q waterways convention
held in Davenport. 1t was, however,
made stronger probability than ever
by that meeting. and one of the best
friends the canal had among the del
egates to the convention was the late
mayor of Chicago, Carter H. Harri-
son. Mr.. Harrison was rendered an
ovation when he arose to advocate the
water route from Chicago. Of which
he was then the chief executive to the
Mississippi. He said that the Mighty
Engineer of the universe had marked
out the line for ship canal to the
Mississippi. He hoped to see the day
when the largest ship might pass
from the Gulf of Mexico to the har-
Dor of Chicago. via the Hennepin
canal and the Father of Waters.
L
this locality to Hennepin would ena-
bic the largest barge to pass with its
! grain from St. Paul to Chicago. He
| showed that the 5000. 900 bushels of
grain annually raised in the north
west would be worth 6 cents per
bushel more after the Nennepin
canal is built than it is now. The
sum saved could be easily estimated.
showing the Importance of water
transportation.
Surprising Statistics Furnished.
Mayor Harrison read surprising
statistics of the export lake business
of Chicago. He thought it contemp-
tible for any petty interest to oppose
the advantages accruing to 900. 900
people Of the great west whose well
fare would be largely served by the
construction of the canal. Four
cents a bushel saved on the grain
crop of Iowa. Minnesota. Wisconsin,
Nebraska would amount annually to
$4,000, 900. enough to pay for the
ship canal or three times the cost of
the commercial canal. Passing from
home statistics Mayor Harrison drew
a comparison of what is being done
in France. England and Germany,
with what has been done in the
United States. France has paid for
canals and canalized rivers. of which
she has over 5000 miles. the enor-
nous sum of $2O5. 100000. America.
