Thus it came to pass last Saturday
night that the visit of four uniformed
clubs of hambeau-carriers from West

brought goodly number Of people to
the streets and into Ravenscrofts' Opera
House. The music and red fire Were in
spring, but the cheering was confined
nearly altogether to the visitors. The
sidewalk crowds were ominously silent.

that safe had been blown open, nor
that another safe had been likewise bust

One of the clubs presented Il short

by striking the Debsite with his torch.

The FroStburg contingent was very
small, the count at d tfercnt points vary

reliably reported that Col. Pearre very
justly scored the State committeeman

In defence Of the committeeman, how

probably does not know that he (the
committeeman) has too many party
friends who are almost violently enviouS

accession to place which all seem to
hold that he cannot fill.

Whitby still In jail.

Herbert Whitby is still in Jail at
Davenport and still under strong sus-
picion of being the man who struck
Everett Vernon such blow on the
right Jaw that it was fractured and re-
suited in .Vernon's death. Whitby is
reported to be an amateur pugilist of
no mean ability, and it is said that he
was to have been one of the principals
in glove contest in East Davenport
Saturday night. Those who know
him say that he is handy with the
mitts and scientific enough to knock a
man down without creating much of a
commotiou. The corOner's jury that
investigated the cause of Vernon's
death adjourned, to be called together
when tho coroner and county attorney
see fit. Whitby has retained Attorney

TOM DALEY rs MISSING.

Was Occupant OF Houssboat Burned to
Waters Edge.
The whereabouts of Tom Daley. of
Moline, is not known, but is being
sought by the police. He disappear
ed last Thursday evening and moth
ing has been seen of him since. He
and Aleck Wickstrom had been liv-
ing in houseboat near Duck creek,
across the river above Moline. Until
recently both made this their only
habitation. Then Wickstrom went to
work on a farm on the Iowa side.
Last Friday morning he came down
to see his chum at the boat. but to
his surprise he found nothing but the
burning hull of the ark with nobody
about or in the vicinity. Since then
he has been searching for his comrade.
but without avail. and has appealed
to the authorities to help him.
1t is supposed that the boat was set
on fire Thursday night by lightning
and that it was burned to the water's
edge despite what effort Daley could
make to stop it. 1t is not believed
that the fire was intentional and it is
expected that the man will turn up

Paul company, which was organized
in the spring of 1868. Late in the
winter of 1874 the name of the COM
pany was changed to the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway COM
Pany.
The Milwaukee & Mississippi was
quick to grow. In 1852 it had reached
to Milton, and four years later it had
spread over to the Mississippi river at
Prairie du Chen, McGregor, Owatonna
and Faritault. In 1872 the company
had its line between Milwaukee and
the ruined city of Chicago. From
1855 to the time it secured its own
tracks, however, it did business over
the old Chicago & Milwaukee road.
In 1864 lines constructed by or sub
sequently acquired by the company
begun to spread. The company
reached Council Bluffs and Omaha in
1882; Cham berlain, s. D., the termin-
Gus of the Iowa and Dakota division,
in 1881; Woonsocket. via the southern
Minnesota division, in 1888; Fargo,
N. D., 1884; Aberdeen, S. D., in 1881 J.;
Kansas City. Mo-, in 1887; Wausau,
Wis. in 1875, and in 1890 the Mil
waukee 4 Northern, which had
reached into Green Bay, became a
part of the Chicago, Milwaukee & 81.

For Removal of Stub.
A lengthy conference between the
city council committee and officials of
the interested railroads was held at

to construct switch across First
avenue, between Seventeenth and
Fig fifteenth streets, into a strip of
ground that it contemplates purchas-
ing for coal yard purposes. The
committee will report with recon-
mendations to the meeting of the
council next Monday night.

The contract for the building of the
new passenger depot and freight de-
pot on Twenty-trst street, Moline,
for the D.. r l. & N. W., was let yes
terday, Peter Peterson, the Moline
contractor, being the lucky bidder.
His bid for both buildings was $14.-
900. The passenger depot will cost in
the neighborhood of $11, 900. The
sum of $1,000 in addition will be
spent for plumbing. ETC., on the two
