Our Member.

A representative of the Moline Dis
patch. who has been over the field at
Springfield, in writing up the MEM
bers from the Thirty-third district, has
this to say of the Rock Island legisla-
tor: MIR. Hurst, the democratic
member, is one of the leaders on his
side of the house. He is probably the
brainiest man there, and if he had
been in the legislature the previous
term would have been made the lead
err of the democrats. While the Dis
patch has no voice in the selection of
a democratic candidate, it sincerely
hopes the party will send MIR. Hurst
again. He is troublesome fellow
to us on political questions. said the
speaker, Judge Sherman, to the
writer, for he is ready for us every
time. but we all like aim, and hope to
have him returned.

PRESS CLUBS MEETING.
Tri-City Organization Happily Entertained
I'm Dayenport.


Davenport newspaper men were the
hosts on the occasion of the regular
monthly meeting of the Tri-Citv Press
club held at the KIM ball house in that
city last evening. 1t was in all re-
spects one of the pleasantest gath
erings the local newspaper men
have held since the formation of
their organization. In the absence OF
President johnson, Vice President P
S. McGlynn, of Moline, occupied the
chair. After the routine of the clubs
business had been disposed of, during
which it was determined to discon-
tinue the monthly meetings for the
summer after the May meeting
in Moline. the program of
the evenings entertainment was
taken up. j. NJ. Colligan, of Rock
Island, contributed two vocal selec-
tions, when j. E. Calkins, of DAY.
export, told an interesting and enter
tanning narrative of two occasions in
his early experiences as news gath
erer in interviewing Gen. Sheridan.
Andrew A. Mallon, an actor of the
old school, then gave the club the
pleasure of 4 number of dramatic reci-
tations, including an exhibition of
silent acting which was particularly
fine, and concluded with impersona-
tions of Booth and Barrett in the
quarrel of Brutus and Cassius. At
the conclusion of the exercises, the
Davenport members entertained the
club with a fine lunch, and while the
cigars were being enjoyed there was
an informal discussion of 4 sugges-
ton offered by S. w. Searfe in behalf
of MIR. Mallon for press club benefit.
The matter was finally referred to a
committee composed of j. j. La Velle,
of Rock Island; j. f. Calkins, of Dav-
export, and p. S. McGlynn. of Moline,
to consider and report TO a meeting of
the club to be called ut the discretion
of the committee.

On August "a, 1897, Ethel Leavell
was seriously injured by being thrown
from Il wagon near Kelso. One of her
legs was fractured and her shoulders
dislocated, besides number OF other
bruises. The wagon road where the
accident took place runs along the
bank OF the Cowlitz river, and is very
narrow, the water having washed out
and undermined the road-bed. On
account OF her injuries, Mrs. Leavell
has brought suit against Cowlitz
county for damages in the sum of$10,-
600, and 5000 extra, which she paid
out for medical attendance.

Swift was sold at auction at Colfax.
The successful bidder was Elmer c..

"just for fun" made a bid of $40 per
acre for the property of 1GO acres of
orchard. He was much surprised
when the place was knocked down to
him by the auctioneer. He moved on
to the place, sold the apple crop last
year and lately sold the farm to Ed
ward Swift, son OF the former proprie-
tor, for $4,000. The profits on the
fruit and the sale of the land leaves
him nearly $1,000 for his investment
of 81 900 and one years labor.

Death OF Amos Brown.

Probably no better known business
man in the State has departed this
life in the past decade than Amos
Brown, who died in San Francisco,
Saturday, at L sanatarium, where he
was under treatment for cancer of the
stomach. He was attended in his
last illness by his wife and daughter.
MIR. Brown was pioneer, having
settled at Port Gamble in 1859, and
engaged in logging. A few years
afterwards, he came to this city and
entered into partnership with /. C..
Ellis, their field of operations being a
tract Of timber-land few miles west
of town. Along about this time Mr..
Brown was married to Miss Peoples,
one of the famous Mercer" immi.
grants. In 1882 Mr.. b. retired from
the logging business and took up his
residence in Seattle, where he had
acquired extensive property interests.
He leaves his family of a wife and
five children in easy circumstances
his estate being valued at from quar-
ter to a third of a million dollars.

Ben Hur Redivivus.

Franklin Pierce OF Seattle, was in
town few days ago, and while here
some of the bikers undertook the task
of teaching him to ride the silent
steed. Senator Miller furnished the
pair of wheels, and the gentleman from
King ran the risk of neck. The arena
chosen was Main street; time, about
noon; umpires, hundreds of people on
the sidewalks; sponge holder and in
spirator, Senator Miller.
After many efforts to bestride the
cranky machine, Mr.. Pierce was finally
seated and given q push, and then
didn't he go! His course, like Irish
roads, made up i'll length what was
wanting in quality. His course was
parabolic, not to say diabolic, although
it must be admitted that it resembled
in some respects the way of the trans
gressor on his downward race to perdi-
ton. Like Jehu, the son of Nimshi,
he drove furiously. and like Ben Hurr,
the prince of characters, his exploit was
greeted with joyful acclaim by the
populace. He rode with grim deter
mination on his countenance and his
nerves standing like whipcord, they
were drawn to such fearful tension.
At one time he threatened demolition
of telephone pole; at another, to be.
come involved in an inextricably tam
gle with the car-tracks. Both calami-
ties were averted, in the nick of time,
by reserve force at the steering head
and handle-bar.
The Senator was an interested spec
tator-mOre interested than amused,
however, be it noted-for long before
the rider closed his cratic flight, the
owner of the wheel began to groan,
and then prophesy and expostulate by
turns over what seemed to be an i'm
pending crisis. The wheel, it appears,
bore charmed life, and when the
hero of this veracious narrative finally
drew up in front of an admiring audi
tory, the inquiry OF the Senator els it
all there ?" seemed to be gratuitous
bit of irony and exaspiratingly redund-
ant. 1t was noted likewise that he
took possession of his bicycle with the
significant remark, "When you ride
again, you will 90 on somebody else's
wheel"

his farm about four miles southeast of
this city, near the Bloom mill, was
wholly destroyed by fire. Mrs. Grain
ger being i'll, some time was ncces-
sarlly taken up in removing her to Il
place Of safety, which accounts for the
fact that very few of the household
effects were saved from the flames.
The house cost $500, but the value of
the furniture is unknown. There is a
small insurance on the property de-
stroycd.

Senate bill 1S5, relating to the in
vestment of the permanent school fund
which was undoubtedly smouched dur
ing the last days of the session by
somebody, is under consideration in the
Supreme Court, on a copy OF petition
Of Deputy State Attorney Vance to re-
strain Land Commissioner Bridges
from making the investment as di-
rected by the act. 1t may be that Mr..
V. is technically right ia demanding
that each law shall be enacted under
certain prescribed forms, but it is no
less patent that in serving the in
terests of the State he should advise
the very course the Commissioner is
pursuing.
| Sunday afternoon an alarm from
Box %, brought our fire boys out on
the double quick, and it was caused
by the same old dry-hOuse which came
nigh burning up n fortnight ago. No
other theory OF its origin finds more
consideration than spontaneous COM
bustion, and the problem is thereby
presented of SO surrounding the pipes
with non.combustable material and
controlling the degree of the interior
heat when it comes in contact with
the dried fiber of the wood, as to pre-
vent the temperature anywhere within
the surrounded space from rising
above the danger-point. Fortunately,
in this instance rs the other, but little
damage was done from the efficiency
of our fire service.

A Timely Hint.

Every bicycle rider should under
stand that a pedestrian has an undis-
turbed right to the sidewalk and street
crossing. Walking came into fashion
some time before bicycle scorching.
and the jingling of the cyclists bell
does not imply that the person walk
ing ahead of him should clear the
track as if a railroad train were ap-
preaching. 1t is the bicycle riders
business to keep clear of every man,
woman and child he is approaching
upon a public highway. Bicycle
paths leading over unirequented parts
of the country are, of course. leasona-
BILE exceptions to this rule. and pedes.
TRANS should govern themselves &C.
cordingly.
