LEVEEPLAN READY,
The Special Committee te
Report Tonight.
PRACTICAL SOLUTION Is PREPARED

First Avenue to be Paved By Special As
sessmeat and Two Blocks Of stone
Paved River Front with Macadam BE-
tween.
The special committee of the city
council on improvement of the levee
has its report completed and it will
be presented to the council for ap-
proval tonight. 1t is expected that
that body will countenance the same
and provide for the Inauguration Of
the work early in the spring. The
plan proposed provides for the pave
ment OF First avenue from Fifteenth
to Twentieth streets complete by
special assessment, the extension Of
Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nine
teenth to the low water mark
with pavement of Anamosa stone,
the leveling and grading of the inter-
mediate space between these streets
and between the railroad tracks and
the waters edge, and the macadamiz.
ing of the same. This will involve q
cost Of about $12, 900 at the outside,
and will insure the preservation of
two blocks of levee which is none too
much. especially with the possibili-
ties to come Of river front commerce
in the opening of the Hennepin canal
and the Improvement of river bus
ness. Paving the three streets
mentioned with granite insures so
much of permanent levee. while
IN future years. as the city
is able, the intermediate space
to be macadamized may be
paved. The plan is further to re-
quire the railroad tracks to be neatly
Planked for the distance mentioned,
all of which improvements will con-
tribute to the placing of Rock ISL
and's river front in very attractive
and substantial condition. 1t is also
proposed to extend the paving on
Fifteenth street from Second to First
avenue which, with the streets al
rendy paved. will give us six streets
running down to the river.
Save the Levee While We May.
The plan of the committee is to
save the levee while the city can,
end before it is too late. Other
great cities have regretted when it
was too late the neglect of its river
front advantages. 1t is a most i'm
portant time for Rock Island to take
this subject up-and the council will
show its appreciation of the situation
by giving the committee the ap-
proval that it seeks of its plans to-
night.

Young Man Decamps TO Avoid Keeping
Matrimonial Promise.

Young Man Decamps TO Avoid Keeping
Matrimonial Promise.
John Roseberg says Saturday was
the day agreed upon between Thomas
Barthalow and his daughter on which
to eliminate their matrimonial vows.
Hulda Roseberg is young lady OF
about Is years and resides with her
parents at 1OS Eighth street. Thomas
Barthalow is a young man whose
home is at 2l10 Fifth avenue. Young
Barthalow's failure to materalize at
the Roseberg residence at the ap-
pointed hour ired the young lady's
father and he proceeded Immediately
to the home Of Mr.. Barthalow. Mr..
Roseberg was received by the young
gentleman and asked to wait until
he arranged his toilet. Mr.. Rose
berg said he waited until his patience
became exhausted and then asked
about the young man only to dis
cover that he had decamped.
And they have not found him yet.
Young Barthalow is supposed to
have left the city. Roseberg then
came to police headquarters and told
mos his daughter had been ruined;
and now they're after Mr.. Barthalow.

General Strike On in the Newspaper Of.
Aces-Demand Is for Recognition.
A general strike was inaugurated
in all the daily newspaper Offices in
Davenport this morning, except that
of the German Der Demokrat. The
strike is declared by Typographical
Union LOG. and there is no issue in
volved on the question of scale of
prices. The typos simply demand
union recognition. the Davenport
papers, it seems, having paid the
recognized scale, but have failed to
sign it and thus to countenance the
existence of the union. At last Sun
days special meeting OF the City
Labor Congress that body gave, as is
known. its support to the position of
the typographical union in the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, The proprietors of the
newspapers and job Offices IN the city
Of Davenport, except those men
toned below. have refused. after re-
peated requests to sign the scale of
prices and conditions of labor af-
firmed by Typographical Union 1O6
OF the city OF Davenport; therefore
be it
Resolved. By the Tri-City Labor
Congress that in recognition of the
fact that the following newspapers
and job Offices pay the scale and
recognize the members of Typo
graphical Union LOG of Davenport,
we request all fair minded men and
women friendly to organized labor to
give their patronage to them in pref
erence to all others. and to insist
that the label of said union be on all
printed matter.
Resolved. That we request the
delegates of all sister unions repre-
serted in the Tri-City Labor Con-
G. IS to read before their respective
u ons the foregoing resolutions and
assist in accomplishing the desired
end.
The firms referred to in the resolu-
tions were German & Son, the Satur-
day Week, II. Lemm and H. Wesen-
berg.

terday.
What appears to be case of infant
icide was discovered on Seventh
avenue between Twenty-ninth and
Thirtieth streets yesterday morning
by two children returning home from
attending Sunday school.
On the north side of Seventh ave.
nue. between the two streets men
toned there is a frame crossing OK.
tending over q ditch which is right
east of the No. 5 school building.
Anything of ordinary size could be
placed lengthwise of the supports and
probably never be discovered. So
apparently thought the heartless
wretches who secreted the body OF
the infant there. Daniel Larson and
Harry Cavanaugh are two little bows
who reside in that neighborhood.
They were strolling along slowly
homeward from Sunday school with
other companions when they hap.
Pened to spy what appeared to them
body. Closer investigation veri.
fled their suspicious.
Naked and Diseolored.
The little body was lying face up
ward on cross-piece partly covered
with earth close to the embankment.
1t was nude and discolored and posi-.
bly, had been lying there for several
days.
The little body was placed in q
paper shoe box and carried to Coro-
ner Halves office where it was lief,
until today, when an inquest and
autopsy was conducted. The BODY,
while that of an apparently fully
developed child, was about thir.
teen inches long. DIR. Plummer
made an examination and said
death was due to premature birth,
claiming that the child had never
breathed, as the lungs were never
inflated. 1t was the body Of a fe.
male. A jury composed of c. f.
Hodgson. w. w. Eggleston, Andrew
Etzel, Phil Miller, r. F. Morgart and
L. V. Eckhart returned a verdict in
accordance with the physicians tes-
timony. The body was ordered
buried.
There are all kinds of stories
af1oat in the eastern part of the city
concerning the parentage of the dead
infant, but none OF them can be
traced by the police to a reliable
source,

 Loring & Co.-Gentlemen: For the past six months I have been taking your Obesity Remedies and have re- duced my weight 150 pounds and my general health is greatly improved; in fact, I owe my life to your Obesity Remedies My waist measurement was reduced from fifty-seven inches to forty-three inches, a difference of four teen inches. Previous to taking your remedies I suffered from shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart, and could not take any exercise what ever, and my ankles refused to sup port my weight. Now I can exercise freely; the shortness of breath has left me, as has also my heart trouble NTbi1n taI r>or Qdin- r m Q d O a trip to the Pacific coast. I was able to walk around quite good deal, which I had not been able to do pre- viously for number of years. On my return home my neighbors said they had never expected to see me re- turn alive but through the efficacy of your Obesity Remedies I have been greatly improved. I shall continue your treatment, as I desire to be re- duced about fifty (50) pounds more. I have answered great many letters of inquiry as to the truth of this state ment. and have always recommended Dr. Edison's Obesity Remedies to all who are overburdened with super fluous flesh.

its Ultimate Effect.

London, Jan. 3.-The Spavial Com

who is now at Washington, sends the
following important dispatch. Il am
now at length able to speak with con-
fidence of opinion inthe highest Amer
lean quarters. The only condition on
which the men whom / specially de-
sired to see would speak, has been my
personal pledge, not even by hint, to
betray their names. Therefore | can
only give you my word that | am not
exaggerating my authorities.
"President Cleyeland's message to
Congress has done several things, good
and evil. First, it has destroyed every
chance of saving the Armenians. Sec
ond, it has given a strong impetus to-
ward closer ties between Great Britain
and her colenis Third, it has enor-
mously emp a the line of cleav-
age always \ .rsting, but discreetly
ignored between eastern and western
United States. The west to-day re-
CARDS the east as practically Euro

allies of the money sharks" of Eu-
rope. Fourth, il has rendered certain

most irresistabiy tempted to use for
aggression. Fifth, and most impor-
tant, it has, unless foolish words or
unforeseen events bar it's natural con-
sequence, paved the way for better
future relations, because Americans
having experience of the consequences
will cease their ignorantdenunciations
and the Englishmen, viii learn to
show much greater respect TO Ameri-
