passenger boat. The Irene was
built by Capt. Dorm. OF Davenport,
for upper rapids work number Of
years ago, in competition with two
boats having a monopoly of towing
RATS over the rapids. A telegram
would be sent to the shippers of
these steamers from the upper Mis-
sissippi, and the first boat to reach
there always received a paying job
OF towing the raft to Davenport.
The Irene D. was built for speed,

Davenport is apparently sick Of
the electric lighting contract she
made with Walsh Bros, OF Clinton,
a couple Of years ago in preference to
the acceptance OF the lowest bid
offered by the Peoples Power COM
pany OF this cisy. but which was re-
jecsed on the sole score that the COM
pany having the advantage was cor
trolled on the Rock Island and Mo-
line side Of the river.
Ex-Mayor c. A. Ficke appeared
at the city electricians office there
yesterday to register a complaint
both upon the gas that he was pay
ing for st his home, and the lightiug
OF the city streets as it is being done
by the Consolidated company. The
fact is, the Democrat says. that the
largest total of fines ever charged
against the company, with the ex-
cePtion of last month, is piling up
for September. Last month the
fines were RENTED in consideration
OF the changes that were being made
at the Consolidated .company's plant.
but 1t remains to be seen as to what
will be done BY the light committee
and the council in regard to the light
that Is being served at prescott.
When Mr.. Ticke left the electricians
office he promised to hand to the
mayor. by o'clock, petition
signed by 100 business men, protest
ing against any further remission o!
fines. MIR. FicSe proceeded prompt
ly to carry out his declared inten-
ton. and within an hour had his Pc
tition on the rounds. 1t was broader
in its request than indicated above,
asking for the annulling Of the pres
ent lighting contract. 1t declares
that Davenport has never been
moro poorly Lighted by electricity
than now, and hours at q time whole
districts are left in total darkness
while at no time is the light up to
the standard provided for in the
city's contract with said company.
The gas furnished by said company
is likewise the poores: this city has
ever known"

1t would apper that the dark ages
revived by the rad-pop combine in the
legislature is not without some good.
Old delinquents to keep out Of Jail are
paying back taxes, and those for the
present year are toeing the mark with
unusual promptness. It was a foolish
law because based on wrong principle.

STATE PRESS.

One thing is certain, our ~fOrefathers al
ways tried to guard against two things,
the too great expansion of values on one
nand. whereby the business of our young
republic might take on too much of he
mushroom growth and burst as a bubble,
and on the other hand, they tried to pre-
vent an undue contraction of the curren-
cy, so that those who had a little money
would not be able to depress values to
that point where they could sell cut
the rest of the people and buy them in at
a low price. They saw that neither eX-
treme was healthy. Neither did they de-
tate the issue of bonds in time of peace,
because they foreSaW that the people
might lose confidence in the finances Of
a young government just emerging from
wars that had severely taxed her re-
sources.-Wilson Times.
On last Saturday a republican was seen
in one Of our stores surrounded by a
crowd. He was discussing the law that
1mprlsons the poor man for non-payment
OF taxes. Said he, time has INDICATED
the wisdom of the law and it is one Of
the best ever placed on the statute books.
The sheriff has collected more taxes with
less trouble than ever before, the insOl-
vent list will be less than in years, and
the law is working so we'll that it is
being endorsed by all good citizens who
want the taxes collected. In front of
that store another group had gathered.
In 1t was a farmer and his colored hands,
two OF whom were men of families. For
fear or being put in Jail after this term
OF the court they had paid out their
entire wages for taxes and were impor-
tuning the farmer for a loan for wife
ana children Who were at home without
a mouthful to eat. This is no fancy pic
ture. Comment is unnecessary.-Wash-
ington Messenger.

Another serious bicycle accident oc-
Cured last night at $50 o'clock at Sixth
and Market streets. DR.. 7. B. kingsbury,
editor OF The Messenger, being the vic
tim. lie was run into by r. B.. Reardon,
the co.ored barber, and was badly hurt.
DR.. Kingsbury. the Rev. j. w. Craig
and MI. Craig's little daughter were
returning from Market Street M. +.
church, and when they got to the north
east corner of Sixth and Market streets.
(St. Paul's Lutheran church) they start
ed to cross Market street towards Mr..
George Harriss' residence IN the south
east corner. The little girl was between
DR.. Kingsbury and her father. and they
were holding her by each hand. Reardon
came riding along at a good gait on Mar
ket street, on his way out, and when he
came to the crossing he rang his bell. He
was about twenty feet away from DR..
K%ingsbury, who did not hear the wheel
approaching, and who did not have his
spectacles on and could not see very
well. When he saw the lamp Of the
wheel it blinded and confused him, and
he followed to HI wheelman: Look
out, you will run over u.s." He then turn
ed the little girls hand loose and jumped
to the right. The bicycle was only twen-
ty feet away and as the wheelman had
turned to the left he saw the wheel was
going to collide with the doctor. He,
therefore, threw up his elbow and it
truck DR.. Kingsbury, knocking him
about eight feet to the hard paved street.
Readon and his wheel were violently
overturned, but the wheelman got up,
apologized to DR.. Kingsbury and tried to
help him up. DR.. Kingsbury, however,
was hurt so badly that he could not
get Up.
Mr.. w. F. Robertson was on the street
and went Immediately to DR.. Kings
bury, and ex-Mayor w. N. Harriss, who
resides across the street, having heard
With the assistance Of Readon and Mr..
Craig, Messrs. Harriss and Robertson got
DR.. Kingsbury in a chair and carried him
to the residence of ex-Mayor Harriss..
DR.. A. H. Harriss was t~elephoned and
was soon on the spot, rendering relief.
DR.. K~ingsbury's right elbow was badly
skinned and bruised, and his right hip
and thigh were confused and %sprained.
After receiving treatment, DR.. Kings
bury was placed in a carriage and at $50
p. m. was taken to his home on South
Third street, near Church street.
At last accounts last night he was in
considerable pain, and especially when
he moved, and he could not use his right
leg. 1t seemed to be paralyzed, but no
bones were broken.
DR.. Kingsbury says he cannot censure
the wheelman, as he could not see we'll
enough to observe the approach of the
wheel. He will be laid up several days,
we fear.
