| = France loses in Jules Simon brilliant
, and noble son. Powerful in public life
before the ERA of her practical demo-
!, cratic politicians, he was a democrat.
a. Throughout the new era of democracy
his tranquil spirit dominated France in
!. hours Of supreme crisis and helped TO-
- compose and enlighten the French dem
ntsocracy. Unlike the horde of "demo-
codrats'' who are scourging the republic
OF for pay, he aspired to no office for per-
= sonal GAIN but gave to his country the
. entire devotion of a Respondent patriot
ISM fertile in every domain of public
need. Detesting war when needless,
he was intrepid when war was forced
upon France. Brave in the face of
theatrical furiousness he firmly resist
ed every effort to carry the republic
back into war for revenge or aggreS-
sion He preferred international expo
sitions to international conflicts. In
the recent controversy over arbitration
as means of settling international
disputes he employed a superb pen on
the side of reason and humanity. His
vision extended beyond the confines Of
his native land and comprehended the
human race in it's wisdom and love. All
humanity may justly sympathize with
France in the loss of Jules Simon.

TO HAVE CLEAN STREETS.

Mayor Knox Boys Two Push Carts to
Gather Up the Dirt.
Mayor Knox has hit on q scheme
which he thinks will put to sleep in
the future the clamor of merchants
and others against dirty streets. He
has bought two push carts which
will be put into operation i'm
mediately.
The idea has been introduced in
many cities and has proven success
full, according to the mayor. The
carts cost about SIS apiece. They
are comprised of two wheels, and are
painted red. Standing upright in
the conveyance are iron rods at the
top Of which is a cone shaped
affair with nippers attached.
An ordinary sack is hung into
this affair and the mouth of it
is held open at the head of the up
rights. 1t takes one man to cart.
He carries along a shovel and q
broom. and as he sweeps together
the gutter accumulations and dumps
them into the sack and pushes along
to the next place until it is full.
Then the sack is removed, tied up
and thrown on the sidewalk to be
carried away and emptied By a
teamster later on. Each cart is sup
piled with 10 sacks.
The idea is to keep two men busy
most of the time at this work. They
are to get out early in the morning
and have the business streets cleared
up before the days activity has be-
gun. Well, we'll see how it goes.

Estate" is romance OF the western
plains by Maj. Alfred X. Calhoun,
author of "a Prisoner of War;" etc.,
Maj. Calhoun's power as q writer OF
romantic adventure is well known to
the hundreds of thousands of readers
of his popular stories and tales OF
western life.
Added to his gifts of imagination
and an entertaining literary style.
Maj. Calhoun has thorough per-
sonal familiarity with the life he de-
scribes and his stories sound like

A FRIG HTFUL FATE.
Emmet kehoe Hurled Down . Shaft to
Death.

Emmet kehOe Hurled Down o Shaft to
Death.
Emmett Kehoe. aged q and. whose
home was with his parents on Lowell
Island in Rock river, was hurled to
the bottom of 45-foot shaft at W.
E. Wynn's mine near Coal VALLEY
at 3:l5 yesterday afternoon and sus-
tanned injuries from which he died
at 6:15 last evening. The I'M
fortunate fellow was st the
time hosting water by means
of water box in the cage OF
the shaft snd was adjusting a piece
OF pipe for a rest. At this most
inopportune moment the rope sup
porting the cage snapped and being
heavily loaded. it struck the pipe to
which Kehoe was clinging. and losing
his balance he was precipitated to
the depth of the shaft. He was still
alive. although unconscious, when
he was reached, but expired as
stated. DIR. W. F. Myers, of Coal VAL
ley, on examination of the remains,
found death due to hemorrhage of
the lungs. Coroner Halves and also
others interested we're notified.
''Emmet Kehoe came to his death
by being thrown down the shaft
caused by the breaking of rope. :"
Such was the verdict of a jury which
held the inquest over the remains
this morning. Emmett had left home
Friday to work at Wynn's and
tended to the cage which hoists the
coal. The mine had filed with
water and they were pumping it out
by means OF water box in the cage.
Fred Zeigler, who was running the
engine, said he could not see any
thing but the cage when it was high
enough, but when the cage dropped
he saw q hat fly and he stopped his
engine. ran out and saw the boy at
the bottom Of the shaft. He called
for help and Zadoc Wynn and Viii
liam Wynn responded and securing
ropes hoisted the body to the sur :
face. Kehoe was still breathing, but
did not speak. D. H. Moran was
sent to Coal Valley for DR.. Myers
and on arriving the doctor found .
scalp wound on the back of the head
and . cut on the left side of the face.
He thought death was caused by

done that could be, but death re-

WATER
Body Of a Stranger Taken From
the Mississippi,
HAD BEEN DEAD BUT A DAY.

An Empty whisky Bottle In Oae Of the I'm
fOrtanste's Pockets Tells the Not lm-
probable Tale Of the intoxicated Mans
Fall From the Bridge.
Late yesterday afternoon the body
OF an unknown man was taken from
the Mississippi at the foot of Twelfth
street, and The verdict of a coroner's
jury which held an inguisition over
the remains was that death was
from drowning; whether it was q
case Of accident or suicide remains
an unanswered question.
The body was that of a man APP
parently between 40 and SO years of
age, aud to all appearances had not
been in the water over twenty-four
hours. About tive-and-a-half feet in
height and we'll and proportionately
built and weighing 200 pounds. the
corpse was attired in brown cheviot
suit with sack coat, polka dot
shirt, light cotton underwear. cotton
socks, and congress shoes. Three of
the unfOrtunate's front teeth are
missing, while he carried stubby
beard and an auburn mustache, with
hair of a corresponding hue. From
the outside pocket of the coat was
taken an empty half pint whisky
bottle, which probably played an i'm
portnnt part in the act which ended
in the death of the man who carried
it. There is nothing on the body
even suggestive of Identification.
A dogskin pocketbook containing
two pennies constituted the finances
OF the unfortunate. while further
inventory found him the possessor Of
a red square piece of cardboard on
which was printed ''good for one
meal" and signed by Jacobsen; mu-
tilated red handkerchief, pair of sill
ver-rimmed spectacles, match box
and briar pipe.
How He Probably Died.
Down in the corner of one of the
strangers pockets was found portion
of a Davenport German newspaper
which, on close examination, proved
to be the remnant of a copy of
Der Demokrat. This adds light to

after the landing of the body. 1t is
a much practiced idea-especially
among those minus transportation
expenses-to walk the bridge, and
since the building operations have
been going on. not a few are in the
habit of following the railroad tracks
across. He was probably intoxicated
and without money. And while, it is
presumed, he was walking the rail-
road bridge which spans the slough
near the Rock Island Lumber COM
pany's mill, he staggered and lost
his balance and was hurled into the
stream unnoticed. and his body kept
beneath the water until it came to
the surface and was found yesterday
by L. w. Mitchell, a foreman for
Tropp. Darling & Co., and N. E..
Porter, a steamboat man. The cor
ouer's jury was composed of c. E.
HOdgeson, Andrew Eel, Phil Mil
Ter, r. c. Cool, j. E. Swami, w. H.
Pierce.
The body was identified today as
that Of Detlef Ehlers, resident of
Davenport for the past SO years. He
had been employed at Jacobsen's
garden. He was 81 years OF age. q
native Of Holstein, and unmarried.
The funeral will occur tomorrow
morning at 10 O'Clock, with interment
at Pine Hill cemetery, Davenport.

The meeting was held at Carroll insti-

and the relieving of the needy was dis
cusscd. The result Of the meeting was
the appointment OF general executive

MEASLES Is MARCHING WEST.
Epidemic OF the Northeast Reported
to BE Moving on the Northwest

EpiueElic oI the NOTfHe6sI hepOFIeu
to BE Moving on the Northwest.
There are so many cases of measles in the
Northeast at this time that the fact has
led to the belief that there is an epidemic
of that un welcome visitor in that section.
1t was reported yesterday that the cpl
demic had struck the Government Print
ing Office, but it appears that the cases
there are sporadic,
One Of the best physicians in the city said
last night that Ee considered the prevalence
of the disease IN the Northeast enough to
pronounce ii epidemic, and furthermore
that it was spreading westward. Three
residents OF the Northeast, whose families
have been visited by the unweicome guest,
said that there had been very few fatalities
and mat the most Of the cases now were
further west, although there were quite
enough stiii in the Northeast.
This may be unplea SAINT news for the
people who live in palaces and castles in
the Northwest, but fore warned is fore
armed, and, maybe, there VIII be in order
a strengthening of the breastworks and a
hauling up OF the dra wbridges as barrier
against the unla wfully bourgeois afflic-
tion Of the measles.

lie desires 10 have his record cleared now

The herald., 1896-03-31
THE CITY COUNCILS CHANCE

The HERALD's expose of the corner in
harlotry that exists in Los Angeles was, as
might well be expected, the subject of
general and interesting comment yester-
day. 1t could not we'll escape being such.
The flagrant discrimination indulged IN
by the police commission under the pre-
tence OF removing prostitution from Ala
media street is not the sort of thing that
either the press or the public can afford 10
ignore, and, as far as The HERALD is con.
cerned. it will not be ignored. 1t is alto.
gether too suggestive of something wrong
somewhere when branch of the city gov
ernment, under the pretence of aboiishinp
from a particular street or locality an evil,
adopts course which does not accomplish
the abolition of the evil from that street or
locality, but that only accomplishes its
transfer from the proprietorship of sew
oral persons to that of one or two. The
supposition that there is something more
than fun in the transaction is not unrea-
sonable.
Now that the work of canvassing the an
nexation election returns is finished by
the city council that body can be expected
today to give some attention to this rather
odoriferous matter. 1t should institute an
immediate investigation that will sift out
the reason for the present status of things
on Alameda street and the basis for the al
legations freely made that now that the
parties who held that part of the Shafer
property tabooed by the police, have re-
linquished their lease on the same,
the king of "Little Paree'' is to
bave his territory extended by that
much, thus permitting him to enjoy
privileges denied the preceding lessees.
There Is fine field here for the commit
tee on public morals,' or any other COM
mittee that the council may appoint, to
distinguish themselves.
TEE HERALD lislikes to make reference
