CHINESE HISTORY.
1t Dates Back to the Time when

The authentic history and biography
of China is doubtless the oldest in thu
world, even antedatng that of tn,
Jews. Those familiar with its chrunol
ogy state that it embraces pcriot
from the year % of our era back TO the
remote period of 1864 years before
Christ The historians vt China en-
brace a succession of uninterrupted Sc
rics of more than 2,40O years. The full
and continuous history of the empire
was compiled in the second century OF
our era.
The great libraries of pcking contain
volumes of books numbered by the hun.
dreds of thousands. In the archives of
the government are still to be found
the ancient predictions of eclipscs made
with great accuracy, together with
works of astronomy which show fair
knowledge of that interesting science.
Biographies, very succinctly written.
OF the emperors of the most ancient
dynasties still exist and written works
of learned men are as voluminous as
those of European nations. And this
learning and love of learning has been
acquired without help or suggestion
from any foreign people If their a1l-
thentic histories reach back to nearly
five centuries ago mystical history
reaches still further back into the very
Knight of time.
When Nineveh and Babylon were in
the splendor of their might men in
China were predicting eclpses, making
catalogues and giving names 10 The
stars But Nineyeh and Babylon were
mere mounds of earth and rubbish
when China was great, and to this date
the civilization and life of the empire is

Davenport Has 1t Now.

With the advance to the point of
completion of the new levee on the
Davenport side, the city is brought
face to face with the problem of
steamboat accommodations. The
people on that side of the river are as
much opposed to granting to any
company or line the privilege of erect
ing a building there as are the people
here, and the suggestion has been
made that the only way out of the
difficulty is if the city is to control
the situation, and if building is per-
mitted the city must own it. The
papers on that side seem to be i'm
pressed with dread fear that what
ever is done the example of Rock Isl.
and Will be followed, and that steam
boat traffic will be driven away, and
one terror stricken quill driver ex-
claims that whatever Is done it must
be just the opposite to what Rock Isl
and did. The fact of the matter is
that this same newspaper man has
experienced great deal more con-
Germ about Rock Islands control OF
her river front from the first than the
city of Rock Island has. This city
has put in the finest levee on the
river for the benefit of the steam, boat
trade. and she proposes TO control it.

Wounded Burglar Being Held by the
| Moline Police.
The burglar shot in Moline early
Monday morning by Merchants Po-
liceman Lee says he is William Davis,
which is believed to be a fictitious
! name. If he dies from the two bull
let wounds inflicted by the officer, he
will die game. for he refuses to tell
anything about himself, where he
| halls from or who his companions
were at the time of the shooting. He
has asked Hon. William McEniry to
defend him in court.
There is no question that the man
belongs to one of the smoothest gangs
of cracksmen that operate in the
western country, with headquarteI 5
at Chicago. a physician from the
of visiting him, and others interested
in his welfare are known to still be in
this locality. 1t is not thought that
he belonged to the Shevlin gang, as
the latter are simply pick-pockets.
Officer Lee has sworn out war
rant, charging Davis with attempted
murder, as he positively identified
| him as one of the men who whipped
out gun during their exciting en-
counter. The prisoners claim that
he was shot and robbed, and then
thrown under the car where he was
found is an empty defense, and if true
he certainly would have no objection
to disclosing his true identity. Cir
cumstances are such as to point posi-
lively to the mans guilt. 1t is likely,
however. hard fight will be made to
secure his liberty if he lives to stand
trial.
1t is said that Davis" brother
was in the gang of burglars who at
tackled Officer Lee.
As token of appreciation from the
merchants, Officer Lee will receive n
fine wallet containing $50 or more in
cash for his act of bravery.
