To Hcnnepin and Back.

Yesterday morning 2S of Daven-
ports citizens paid pleasant and in
teresting visit to the scene OF the
Hennepin canal operations. going via
the c., Il. /. & p. and X. /. u ?.
roads. The Tribune this morning
describes the excursion:
There they We're received by Capt.
l.. l.. Wheeler, the engineer in charge
Of the canal work. After showing
the maps in his office, he escorted the
party over the work from Milan to
the upper end of Carr's island, where
the bulk of the work is now being
done in building the dam and lock
No. 80. There are over 800 men now
employed on this part of the work.
A large number of the men work all
night, so as to get their part of the
work above high water before the
river rises. The branch has been
turned off so that YOU can walk over
to the canal work. The government
is doing all this with S-hour labor.
Contractor Lynch has large mum Der
of men and teams working down on
Big Island, and will soon have that
part of the work completed. The re-
turn trip was made to Rock Island in
16 minutes, by n special train
kindly furnished by superintendent
H. b. Sudlow, of the Rock Island 4
Peoria, and the party was home at II
n. m.
The party was in charge of Z. W.
Baker, who had invited Il to 60. he
having previously in the past two
years had charge of two Hennepin
excursion parties by steamboat and
one by electric cars. On leaving
Davenport he informed those that
went and those that remained at
home on occount of the rain. that he
soon intended to have his fifth excur-
sion to the Hennepin canal by cleo
trio cars, and on that trip he intend
ed to exclude the men and invite II
ladies to take the trip, and that he
felt sure that all would go even if it
was raining.

APeddIer Defined.

The Iowa supreme court has rem
dered a decision defining what con-
stitutes peddler. A man went
from house to house in Stuart taking
verbal orders for spoons, albums,
etc. A few days later the merchan-
disc was shipped to Stuart and de-
livered to the purchasers by one Cum
ninUham. While thus engaged he
was arres ted for violating an ordi-
nance of he town prohibiting ped
dlers from selling or offering for sale
Goods Oh merchandise along the
Streets OF from house to house. The
case finally reached the supreme
court where the defendant was or
dered discharged. The conrt says
that the authorities are not agreed
as to what constitutes peddler, but
II adds that its s.attention has not
been called to any authority which
holds that a person who delivers
Goods previously sold by another IS
n peddler within the ordinary use OF
that term. The defendant did moth
ing that was prohibited by ordinance {.
and should have been acquitted.
The decision is of general interest.

a FATAL COLLISION.
Bad Accident on the Milwaukee This
Morning.

Morning.
About 3 O'Clock this morning a
passenger train on the c., NJ. & ST.
p. met with an accident a few miles
this side OF Dubuque at n place
known as Rock Cut, it having col
lided with an Illinois Central freight
train. The force of the collision
threw the engine, baggage car and
three coaches upside down, rolling
to the waters edge, but luckily the
lights went out, thus preventing a
fire. As nearly as can be learned
two passengers were injured, as was
the fireman on the engine.
There were also two killed. Ameng
the passengers who were injured was
Henry F. Young, of Prairie du CHEN,
Wis, who was on his way to this city
to attend the funeral of his brother.
William f. Young. Mr.. Young sus-
tanned a sprain of the right shoulder.
The bulk of the party were going to
the fair at Chicago. and Mr.. Young
reports that all We're more less shak-
en- up.

port due here at 11:45 was DELAYED

SATISFIED WITH HIMSELF.
Rainmaker Jewell Perfectly Confident of
His Powers to Assist Rain

His Powers to Assist Rain
c. B. Jewell, president of the jew
ell Rain company, accompanied by
his wife and child, was guest at
the Kimbell house, Davenport, yes
terday. His mission was not to pro-
duce rain, but was merely one OF a
private nature.
To Times reporter. who called
on him, Mr.. Jewell stated his rain
making operations were. in all prob
ability ended for this season. as he
was not aware of any locality in
which rain was needed Should he
be sent elsewhere, it would most
likely be to Texas, where the grass
is said to be languishing owing to
the neglect of Jupiter Pluvius. The
crops, he said. seemed to be doing
all right, and such being the case
there was no further need of his SER
vices as a rainmaker just now. So
tonight he viii leave for Goodland.
Kan, to resume his duties as chief
dispatcher OF the Rock Island road
at that point.
Claims the Earth.
Mr.. Jewell assumes credit for the
past two transforms that have visited
this locality. and asserts that during
the four raouths Of his operations as
a rainmaker his efforts have in no in
stance been attended by failure. He
has Just received n communication
from the Chicashaw, Kan, board of
trade, which embodied a series of
eulogistic resolutions at the success
that attended his labors there. which
he modestly pointed to as an evidence
of what he had done.
Owing to the location he declared
that Fruitland was the hardest point
at which he had operated, and il
proof of the fact that he had some
thing to do with the rain there anG
here cited the fact that the storm:
were unattended by thunder or light
ming.
Mr. Jewell declares, however. thar
he does not supplant nature-ht
| merely assists it.

WHY THE DOLLS RAN AWAY.

Twas in an artists studio,
Where many quaint old curio
Adorned the gold and crimson walls,
There hung two little Chinesedoll
For want of better things to do,
One evening when his work was through.
The artist named the one All See.
The other Mistress Nina Lee.
With either little bright gowned elf
He often would amuse himself,
Or in the hope of killing time,
By quoting to them bits of rhyme.
He ran through all the modern lays, =
The poets of our modern days,
But really what 20 them was worse
Began to quote them di'lect verse.
Next morning-one would scarce suppose.
The story sounds so much like prose-
The two gay Chinese dolls had fed;
A perfumed note was left instead.
1t ran like this. in Chinese hand,
"'Twas really more than we could stand.
So Mistress Lee and young All See
Ha've run away to fair Chinee.'

English ouakers DYING Ont.

A Rochdale correspondent writes
The Friends meeting house in RoCh-
dale, known as the place of worship
of John Bright, is not as well attend
ed as It was. Many of the Quaker
families have died out or become dis
persed. The Brights are in many
places, and the same is to be said of
many of the Friends of former days.
Among them are the Kings. Mr..
John Bright was on terms of close
intimacy with the late Mr.. James
King, man well known in Roch-
dale, but little heard of outside the
borders of his town. They had much
in common-wereo of the same per-
suasion, active supporters of popular
education long before the education
act was passed, members of the Peace
society and Liberals. AS young men
they went together on a tour to the
Holy Land in 1885.
The Kings have now left Rochdale.
and their mill is to be sold. Mr..
Bright's grave in the trim little bur-
ial ground of the Friends bears a
plain stone with the inscription, John
Bright, died March 81, 1889, aged n
years" His corner seat in the meet
ing house is still uncushioned, as in
the days when he worshiped in
Rochdale, and in all probability it
will remain so as long as the chapel
stands. News.
