Muscatine is still in a fever of cX-
citcment over the exciting incidents
of Thursday mornings bomb throw
ing. Four more saloons were closed
upon the strength OF inJunctions yes
tcrday. Referring to clues as to the
perpetrators of the outrages the
Democrat of this morning says:
What seems a plausible tale was
told by John Schell, who lives on the
Illinois bottoms opposite Muscatine.
He came to town today and said that
his brother-in-law carried three
strangers in his wagon across the
bottoms to Muscatine's high bridge
Wednesday night. They left him a
coat as security for their passage
money. Thursday afternoon and
evening whistles and calls were heard
to proceed from barn over in the
bottoms. now surrounded by water.
Toward midnight Thursday night
someone took three men out of that
barn in a skiff and landed them on
the drv road, whence they struck di-
rectly for the bluffs in Illinois. The
three men tally with the three eXplo-
sions. and the circum stances all fit.
The story stands improved.

BUSINESS DIDN'T BOOM.
Western Roads Disappointed-Other
Railway Notes.


That the much expected grand rush
to the Worlds Fair has disappointed
great many railroad officials, partic-
ularlv those of the western roads
there can be no doubt. More than
one reason can be assigned for it,
however, but that does not compen-
safe the companies for the additional
expense they have nearly all gone to
in making preparations. just before
the fair there was not road that
would let go of bit of its passenger
rolling stock, though each was look
ing to add little to its own. The
cold and wet weather has dampened
the enthusiasm of many prospective
visitors while others are waiting for
the completion of the fair itself.
The Rock Island did big business
the first few days of the fair and it
even taxed its facilities there being
several extra trains from the west
each day. 1t did not last long, how
ever, and though the business is said
to be greatly in excess of that of last
year, it is not anywhere near what
most railroad men thought it would
| be.
The c., r. & p. carpenters are at
| work making some repairs about the
passenger depot and telegraph office.
Tom Smith, formerly connected
with the clerical force at the c., NJ.
& st. p, is in the city calling on old
| friends.
| The Lime association has begun
work on replacing its coal shed in

into this city on the c., b. Il O., ano
now residing in Chicago, is back
paving Il short visit to old friends.
Porter Murray, representing the
passenger department of the Michi-
gan Central, was doing the three
towns in the interests of his company
yesterday.
Some new platforms are being
built around the Milwaukee freigh
depot. Persons have probably fallel
into the old platform there who were
never found.
All the ulNISlon OlHclalS Oh il'
| Rock Island were in the city the lat
ter part of the week looking after thu
proposed changes that are to be made
in the yards here.
The platforms in front of the Rock
Island passenger depot are being
Iengthencd out and the tracks viii
also be raised several inches in order
to make the yards more uniform.
