A New Staamer

The steamer that is being built at
Lyons for the Moline Navigation &
Excursion company is rapidly near
ing completion and is expected to be
finished this fall. The hull is prac-
tically finished. The cylinder tim
bers are on; these are the timbers
that hold up the wheel and also hold
the cylinders of the engine. The
main deck is nearly laid and hog
chains and posts for the same are
being put on. The cabin on first
deck is nearly enclosed. The wheel
shaft and engines are there: the
boiler is. now ready. This is steel,
double riveted with $1,000 pounds
tensile strength: that means that it
takes pull of $1,000 pounds to pull
apart strip equal to one-half inch
square. The boiler is firebox pat
ent same as on locomotive, and a
duplicate of the ones on the Verne
Swain. The boat will be allowed to
carry $50 pounds of steam, and will
make rapid time when she is placed
in cOmmi ssion.

FINALLY SETTLED.
Judge Smith Gives His Decision In the Fer
KEEL Suit.

Judge Smith Gives His Decision In the Fer.
KEEL Suit.
Judge Smith this morning rem
dered his decision in the case OF Mrs.
Elizabeth Ferkel against the Daven-
port estate. after having it under ad
visement since Oct. IS. The Judge
decides in favor of the defendant,
giving divers legal reasons for SO do
ing. This ends long and tedious
proceeding. the case having been in
court since the May term. 1891. The
complainant sought to obtain a deed
for a section of land, claimed to have
been given her by the late Bailey
Davenport. but in support of which
nothing could be shown. Being I'm.
able to produce any title of owner
ship. the administrator of the Daven-
port estate claimed the said land.
Hence the suit. Sweeney Il Walker
represented the estate. while Mai. j.
NJ. Beardsley, j. Z. kenworthy and
William McEniry appeared for Mrs.
Ferkel.
Judge Smiths Last Sitting.
Having already resigned from the
circuit court judgship, and being de-
sirous of winding up his affairs,
Judge Smith requests all attorneys
having cases pendngg before him to be
in court Friday morning. when all
such matters will be disposed of.

Another Indian Problem.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The Indian office
Is finding it n very difficult matter to pro.
vent the sale of liquor to the Indians.
The most difficult problem has been pre-
sented in recent court decisions in which
1t is declared that Indians who have taken
their lands in scveralty are citizens of
the United States, and that it is no longer
contrary to law to sell liquor to them.
Two or three decisions have already been
made to that effect.

 Rube stood up fully six feet in his shoes, and l should judge would turn the scale considerably beyond two hun dred pounds. All of which added to the absurdity of the situation. and without more ado, beaming with iollity and good nature, off he started on his expedition of charity.
 The weary and homesick travellers in our immediate vicinity at first stared, then smiled, then seemed to awake from their melancholy reveries to an interest in something that bid fair to relieve the monotony of the tiresome hours of travel.

Cheerful Holidays.

The holidays to many are often the saddest of the ear; the absent seem to De so much more absent then. 1t is not easy sometimes to feel joyful: the sigh seems so much more ready than the smile. Adversity seems so cruel a1hictlon so keen. ingratitude so brutal. But still we owe it as n dutv to ourselves and to others to be iovful even amid sorrow or hardships. The future that lies before us depends much upon what we make of the present. A heart is made far stronger by the look of encouragement. the stlmulant of hopeful love, than bv any other medium. A bright home i. greater ,stimulant than aucht else 10 look hopefully into a new year mas often inspired success. Whers even spiritual consolation has beer known to fail, the bright face. the hopeful love and the cheerful woro ,f a good woman have redeemed many a man rom utter hopelessness.- Ladies Home Journal.

 The half-smothcred sigh of the train boy seemed to attract the attention of one of the commercial travellers; either that or the lugubrious expression on his face; for the traveller immediately accosted him in a way peculiar to knights of the road in addressing an employe, with whom all drummers and railway men assume a familiar ac- quaintance.
 Hey, Jimmie! brace up. Whats the matter with you? You look like you'd had an invitation to your own funer- d."
 His name might or might not have been Jimmie; if it was it was only CO., incidence, for the drummer probably had no more idea than I had by what name the train boy was christened. However, it served the purpose and the remark was answered by sickly effort of a smile.
 Business slow?' continued the in- terrogator.
 That's what 1t is," was the despond- ent answer.
 "Well, cheer up, Jimmie. We all strike hard lines some time or other, and to-morrOw's Christmas, anyway, and don't you forget it."
