Mills have endorsed one Finley to
succeed Wright Cuney, but Walter
Gresham, the Congressman from

opposing Finley, which amounts to
favoring the idea of allowing Quincy
to hold on to the fodder till his

Nobody Killed the Box.

"One of the coolest actions l ever ob- served in the course of my express ex- perience," said an express messenger, twas that of rough fellow from New Mexico. He was poorly dressed, and boarded our train at Tombston on a second-class ticket, depositing at the same time box in the care of the ex- press agent, labeled: Rattlesnalle-- handle with care It was small soap box, and not very heavy, but you can bet that box was zealously guarded At Kansas City he came and got the box and carried it off to a bank The banker was a friend of mine, and meeting him the next day, I asked what that fellow did in the bank with the rattlesnakes.
 'Rattlesnakes! Well, that's a good joke on the express company he re- piled. That box had eighty thousand dollars in ten-dollar green backs in it.
 '1f the money had been entered as money we would have charged him a neat sum for it's transportation, but by abeling it rattles he had it carried for triile and I'll venture it was more se- cure from robbers under that simple title than it would have been in the stoutest safe. e."-Cincinnati Times-Star.

THE PIANO AND THE PLAYER.

How rich was the blended sweetness That flowed from the silent keys At the touch Of the gentle fingers
 That moved with a quoenly easel Till the hearers strangely wondered Whence the royal sounds could come For without the gifted player
 The notes had been mute and dumb But at her touch there was music And harmony, till the soul Was borne by the rising pinions
 Where the songs of glory roll, It was not the piano only;
 It was not the moving keys, It was all in the young musician Her fingers-all came from these. And yet the cold notes were needed, And all that was hid within; Twas not only the players fingers They could not the sweetness win, If there had not been sweet responses And yielding 10 her touch So the instrument needed playing, And she needed it as much. Alone we are mute and silent; But if the great Masters hand Is laid on the idle keyboard,
 What music may cheer the land The praise must be all the players, Submission must be our part, And His skill will get blended sweetness From every yielded heart,

How Midshipman's Wit Got Him Out
 of Serious Trouble.
 On board of a man-of-war bound home from China was young midshipman named Jones, says the Detroit Free press He was favorite with the of ficers, and had in him the talent for the making of fine officer
 The midshipmen on board stood their watch forward, and every hour it was their duty to come aft and write up the weather columns of the ships log, showing the readings of the barometer, thermometer and to heave the chip log for her speed,
 The captain, in company with the of ficer of the deck, was walking the weather side of the poop deck convers- ing when Midshipman Jones came aft to write up the log.
 The barometer, a mercurial one, was hung in the captains cabin, and Jones, after having read it. helped himself lib- orally to the captains sherry on the cabin sideboard. In walking the poop the captain happened to glance down the cabin slylight and saw the mid shipman's proceedings.
 When Jones came up on the poop to leave the log the captain addressed him as follows:
 How is the barometer, sir?"
 Jones saluted and said: Steadily rising, sir; steadily rising"
 The captain then asked: And how is the decanter. sir?''
 Jones was taken abdck, but with a steady voice replied: Steadily falling, sir; steadily falling"
 This reply was too much for the cap tain, and, bursting out laughing, he said
 Young man, your reply has saved you from punishment; but it is long way to Frisco, so hereafter 1 beg of you not to consult the decanter as often as you do the barometer"

were tenderly entrusted to the grave.
The Fatal Locality.
From what has been learned since
the shocking double drowning of
Saturday and the peril of the others
composing the bathing party, it is
evident that the bathers struck the
most dangerous and treacherous
place there is along Rock river, from
six to ten lives having been lost
within 100 yards of where Saturdays
fatality occurred in the past. The
water cuts a deep pocket through
the sand bar there, and this together
with the swift running under cur
rent makes it impossible for
any one unless an extraordinary
good swimmer to get out when once
precipitated into its depths. There
is rocky bottom, and it was only by
reaching some of the most prominent
of these rocks that the survivors es-
capped Saturday. When Mr.. Buford's
body was recovered there was n
bruise on the right side of the face
near the temple, which may indicate
that as he went down in his efforts to
save his companion, Miss Sudlow, he
may have struck a rock. rendering
him unconscious, and this may ac-
count for the fact that his body did
not rise again.
The bathing parties from Camp
Vagabondia previous to Saturday, 1t
seems, pursued different course,
sticking closely to the sandbar. Not
all of those who went in Saturday
had been in before and they appeared
to make the fatal mistake of entering
the water at the wrong place.

PROPER PROBATION.
Tri-City Savings Banks Act in Protection
of Their Interests.

OF interests.
In view of the stringency of money
matters and the unnecessary timidi-
ty on the part of depositors which
might at any time give undue cause
for alarm seriously affecting none
tary institutions, conference was
held Saturday afternoon at O'Clock,
of representatives of savings banks
of the three cities which resulted in
the adoption of the following:
Notice to Depositors
Believing that it will be for the
best interests of all our depositors
and the community generally. that
the withdrawal of funds by thought
less and timid depositors should be
checked before our cash resources are
exhausted, we. the undersigned saw
ings banks. have decided to hereafter
demand the 60 DAYS notice in writ
ing provided for by the bylaws, and
the savings bank law of the state,
which we have hitherto waived.
BY order of our boards of direc-
tors:
German Savings bank. Davenport
Savings bank, Scott County Savings
bank, Union Savings bank, Farmers
and Mechanics Savings bank of Dav-
export. Iowa; Rock Island Savings
bank. of Rock Island. H.; Moline
State Savings bank. Peoples Savings
bank, of Moline, Ill.
| Wise Precantion.
This is merely a precautionary
move, and wise one. 1t is a step
in the interest of self-protection and
more particularly in the interest of
the depositors themselves. The
stringency now prevailing in no way
affects the security of deposits in
savings banks. because they are BY
the banks loaned on farms and
other real estate which in all
cases are worth from two to three
times the amount loaned. yet at such
times some tboughtles or timid per
sons will withdraw their deposits.
thereby inJuring themselves by los
ing interest and by placing their
money alike. within the reach of the
burglar and the impecunious bor-
rowing friend who never paws back.
They at the same time injure the
general public and the business in
terests by withdrawing from circula-
ton that money which otherwise
could be placed at the disposal Of
farmers, mills, factories and bust
ness men. Fortunately the savings
bank laws have clad savings banks
with power to protect themselves
against such thoughtlessness or
timid persons by providing that they
may require 60 days. written notice
OF the withdrawal of any deposits
The savings banks, of New York,
adopted 4 similar course a week ago,
regarding it as the safest way of of
fering protection to their depositors
and to their business interest.

FEDERAL PATRONAGE.
The Contest Between Gable and Durborow
Still on.


Still on.
Some of the Illinois mem bers of
congress and fellows politicians from
that state will reach Washington
early this week. EX-Con@ressman
Snow expects them to aid him in his
fight for the position of sergeant-at-
arms of the house. Among those
expected is eX-Congressman Gable
and Congressman Durborow. The
cause of their promised simultan-
eous appearance is thus explained by
local capital paper:
EN-Representative Gable and Rep
resentative Duborow are still at it,
the former behind Mr.. Spangler. the
latter behind Mr.. Twohig. and the
object of the struggle is the Chicago
collectorship. This matter of COM
bat Is apparently no nearer settle
ment than six months ago. Which
/ Will win no man at present may say.
The Office is located in Mr.. Dur
borow's district Mr.. Gable was
chairman of the national democratic
committee for Illinois in the last
campaign. and as such did remarka-
bic work for the democratic party
Up to date he has been more success
full in filling offices than any con-
gresham from that state. He is not
confident of success in the present
instance. Those who know him,
however. know that he will not
abandon the fight until the nominal
ton is made. Mr.. Cables pugnacity
is one of his most distinguished char
acteristics. He is tireless fighter,
of large wealth, independent of every
one and speaks his mind upon all
subjects with a refreshing freedom.
These qualities make him an oppo-
nent who will bear great deal of
watching and will be of especial
prominence in the senatorial fight of
next year. Mr.. Cullom's term does
not expire until 1895. but the legis-
lature which will elect is TO be chosen
in the fall of 1894.
Cables Ambition.
1t is no secret that Mr.. Gable
wants to be United States senator.
His very laudable ambition in this
direction has been known to his con-
gressional delegation and other Illi-
noisans of prominence for some time
past. The struggle will come over
the composition of the legislature,
1t is generally granted that if ma
jority of democrats be given seats no
faction worthy of the Gable steel will
make an appearance. If the repub-
licans win the democrats, of course,
will not contest. Among the Illinois
congressman it seems to be the gem
eral impression that the next legis-
lature will be democratic unless the
action of Governor Atgeld in pardon
ing the anarchists reacts upon the
party of the state much more Sc
riously than is now expected. If
present calculations are not astray
the public is apt to see Mr.. Cable in
the upper chamber.
