NEW BUSINESS HOUSE.
The wholesale Cigar and Tobacco Jobbinl
Rlsa OF Morrison . Dolly.

The wholesale Cigar and Tobacco Johbins
Elsa Of Morrison . Dolly.
~ Island is soon to have an ex-
elusive wholesale cigar and tobacco
jobbiug house, an enterprise which
has long been needed in this locality.
Knowing the demand for superior
qualities in these lines, Messrs. Nor
rison & Dolly have concluded to de-
vote their entire time to this partic-
ular branch OF business, and as q
consequence our merchants and
those of the surrounding country
may look for only the best the mar
ket affords. The building of E. H.
Guyer, 20S Twentieth street, has
been leased, and the new firm will
be ready for business about Feb. 1,
with q choice and fresh stock.
A Deserving Enterprise.
The firm is composed of two
bright, hustling and industrious gen.
tlemen. j. H. Morrison. who is a
brother-in-law of Mr.. Dolly, has for q
number OF years been engaged in the
mercantile business at Pocatello,
Idaho, where he is recognized as .
leading business man.
The junior member. Edward Dol.
ly. who was born and raised here,
has for the past five years been con-
nected with Hartz & Bahifsen COM
pany as travelling salesman. and is
well and popularity known through
out this section as an honorable, up
right and industrious young man,
which has gained for him an envia-
BILE position among our representa-
tive men. These qualities. together
with the superior knowledge Of his
business, which has been attained
from years of experience. is ample
assurance for the success of the new
enterprise, which is deserving of the
support of our merchants.
A valuable acquisition to the firm
will be Tim Collins, who has been
engaged as travelling salesman. Tim
is q gentlemanly and well known
young man, and will make business
boom.

Dickson II Sorry.

Charles Dickson, the comedian,
appeared at the Burtis. at Daven-
port in "In Cog" Saturday night. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Dick
son made little speech from the stage
when he was at the Burtis a month
ago, speaking somewhat uncompli-
mentary of mis- wife, and it is a
speech that he is very sorry he ever
made. He came back to Davenport
with an humble and contrite spirit,
prepared to admit that he did a very
foolish thing that night. and desiring
to set himself right before the Daven-
port public. He has since realized
that his wife was much more of a
sick woman than he supposed she
was when she refused to act that
evening and pleaded illness as the
cause. When the company left Dem
yer last Monday Mrs. Dickson re-
manned behind for a much needed
rest OF a week, and takes her place
in the cast again this week, during a
run at the Schiller theatre in Chi
cago. She will then rest for the re-
mainder of the season, il she can be
induced to-but being a very ambi-
tious little actress, Mr.. Dickson ex-
poets to have to exert his authority
to keep her off the stage as hard as
he did in his vain attempt to induce
her to appear on the night of the
Davenport entertainment. However,
there will be no more roasts in the
future.

observers at Lady Franklin's Bay
away up in the polar regions. The
location was successfully made in
September, 1881, and the agreement
was that a relief party should be
sent out to resupply him in 1882.
and if that failed second should be
dispatched in 1883, and il that did
not reach him he was ordered to
make his way south and await sue

The first relief set out in 1882, was
commanded by Lieutenant Beebe.

teus was to have been accompanied
by the United States steamer, Yam

a perilous voyage over the ice packs
to the shores of Greenland, and, ulti-
mately reaching Upernavik, COM

Yantic, and the entire expedition,
unsuccessful and disheartened, was
brought back to the United States.
Since, Maj. Darlington has serv ed

Reports have been circulating recently calculated

system of supplying water Is inadequate. and that
the pressure obanable for the mains is far below

..The only problem before the Department at
present Is the laying of enough water mains from
the Central Park reservoirs TO the lower part OF the
city so as to equalize the pressure between day

The amount OF money appropriated since 1879 for
laying mains. which has been the rate OF $4,000
a year. is not sufficient furnish all the smaller
mains needed in the upper part OF the city and the

him. Mr.. Darling has engaged one OF the best
known lawyers in the city as his attorney, and has
placed the case entirely In his hands. Mr.. Darling
hints at countcr-charges which he vii! make against
