The Davenport fair and exposition
closed Yesterday. The Pompeii en-
hibit will, however. be given tonight
as usual. In the afternoon the bicv.
Gle races were called at the race
track. and although interrupted by
rain, some of them occurred. The
mile novice was called shortly after
2 o'clock. The four riders that were
entered all started. They were Ar.
thur c. Walker, of Moline; Charles
Schake, George A. Martin and George
l.. Nickerson, of Davenport. The
first half was slow, Walker setting
the pace, but he let out a notch in
the last half while Schake and Nick
erson took few lengths off his lead.
In the squirt in the stretch Schake
took the race, Walker second. Nick
erson third. Martin fourth. The
time was 2:57. A. +. Proulx, OF
Omaha; S. Il. Rowland, of Marengo;
M. L. Hurlburt. OF Muscatine, and
A. c. Walker, of Moline, started in
the quarter-mile open just as the
rain began falling and came around
on the slippery track at a gait that
was recklessly fast under the circum-
stances. They finished in the order
they have been named, the winner
time being SCI seconds.

BUSINESS BETTER.

FREIGHT MOVING MLARGE v0LUxI

Improving Every Day. and the Trainueu
Feel ~ II There WAS More In Life Worth
Living for General Notes Picked Up
About the Round Houses and Yards.
There is a decided change in the
countenance of the average freight
trainman on the Rock Island these
days. After seeing business gradu-
ally dwindle until it seemed as il his
very existence was to be taken from
him, as one by one the trains were
diminished, aud regular men went
on to the roll of extras. he now views
a more hopeful aspect. The crisis
has come, and the turning point has
been made-things are locking up,
August was a frightfully dull
month on two accounts. one. the
effect of the great strike. and the
time it took commerce to rally from
the paralyzing effect of suspension of
traffic. and the other, the dismal
prospect for crops in the western
states. For a time, at least, it looked
as if the chief grains would be abso-
lutte failures, but the rains, late as
they came, had some effect. and
though much reduced, there will be
grain to move presently.
Locally speaking. the month OF
August was little better than q
year ago with the Rock Island, but il
was bad enough at that, and it is now
daily improving, while through bust
ness is gradually mending. Freight
is moving with pleasurable activity,
and trainmen running out of Rock
Island are beginning to realize that
their avocatioDs are not entirely
gone, as the call boy comes around
with more frequent regularity.

The Propositions to Build One Sure to Car
~ on Election Day.
II seems to be conceded fact that
the proposition to he submitted to the
taxpayers of Rock Island county on
election day, empowering the county
to issue bonds amounting to *l25, 900
for the erection of a new court house
will carry in the city, and there is
consequently not a great deal of dis
cussion of the matter, as all public
spirited people will not give the sub
iect a thought other than to make
their expression in the Affirmative.
1t is gratifying, also, to note the
popularity with which the enterprise
is received in all parts of the county,
the most conservative agreeing in the
view that il is time for Rock Island
to take place among its sister coun-
ties OF the state in the erection of a
temple of Justice such as will reflect
the spirit of the people composing
the community. A farmer from the
lower end this morning when asked
the sentiment down his way, replied
promptly that he had no doubt
whatever that it would carry in every
township. 1.-The proposition does
not look to the assum ption of any
burdensome obligation on the part
of the county," he said, land it will
insure a court house that we can all
be proud of. The present building
has outgrown its usefulness, and
Rock Island being just as good as
any county in the state should have
| just as good a court house. We are
all interested in this"
| In Moline.
| A prominent citizen of Moline ex-
pressed himself in a similar way the
other day when discussing the mat
ter in casual manner at the ball
park. Il take a practical view of
it," he said. 1.-The question is
hardly one of preference-it is neces-
sity. A new court house is a need
full improvement. and that is all
there is to it. The old building is
inadequate to the present require
ment of the county, and perhaps not
more so than the county Jail. NV
sentiment is that while we are about
it we should do the entire job and be
done with it-let US broaden the
scope of the undertaking. Let us
first carry the proposition, and then
when we begin to build, put up a
structure with basement of proper
design to include the county Jail. /

Why Cadets Wear Gray.

The question has often been asked
why the cadets at West Point wear a
gray uniform. The origin of this dis
tinction dates back to the war of 1872
IA, when the commi5sary general of
the army could not procure the blue
cloth required for Gen. Winfield SCOTS
brigade and so they were clad in gray.
So distinguished was the conduct of
that brigade at Lundy's Lane and Chip
pewa that when after the war of 1912
"a reorganization of the West Point mil
itary academy was made, out of COM
pliment to Gen. Scott and his brigade
the uniform of the corps of cadets was
changed from blue TO gray.

parted.
Ladies seldom rise in Spain to re-
ceive male visitor, and they rare
ly accompany him to the door.
For Spaniard to give a lady-even
his wife-his arm when out walking
is looked upon as a decided violation
of propriety.
In Persia, among the aristocracy, a
visitor sends notice an hour or two be-
fore calling, and gives days notice
if the visit is one of great Importance.
He is met by servants before he reaches
the house, and other considerations
are shown him according to relative
rank The left, and not the right is
considered the position of honor.
No Turk will enter a sitting-room
with dirty shoes. The upper classes
wear tight-fitting shoes, with galoches
over them. The latter, which receive
all the dirt and dust, are left outside
the door. The Turk never washes in
dirty water. Water is poured over his
hands, so that when polluted it runs
away.
In Syria the people never take off
their caps or turbans when entering
the house or visiting friend, but they
always leave their shoes at the door.
There are no mats or scrapers outside
and the floors inside are covered with
expensive rugs, kept very clean in
Moslem houses and used to kneel upon
while saying prayers.

Frog Eating In New York.

"Frog-eater" is supposed to be syn
onym for ''Frenchman," but now it is
said that more frogs legs are eaten in
New York city than in all France. His
southern frogship's saddles" begin to
arrive in New York in early spring,
and as the season advances his north
ern cousins, whose members are con-
sidered by those who are good judges
to be of finer flavor, take their places.
The Canadian breed is most in favor
among connoisseurs, and so frogs legs,
in the pretentious restaurantsof New
York, whether born and brought up in
Florida, Maryland or anywhere else,ar
known as "choice Canadian saddles"
