The professional mining expert
is often unjustly and numerically
assailed by the people who cannot
be made to believe that there is
any such thing as scientific min
ing. The grizzled hoary old pros
pector of Ghe old school still
refuses to be guided by the con-
cluaions of those who rely to an
extent upon books and college
professors. Sometimes the pros
pector is right, but then again he
is yrong, 1t altogether depends
on whether the expert knows his
business. But whether right or
wrong, the sentiments of many of
the old prospectors are expressed
in the following lines:
] am jes' an OF prospector, tramp the
mountains every day,
An it isn't very often that I make {
preaching pay
But I've heerd these minin' experts
singing scientific stuff,
Till Pm Rettin' sort O. weary O. thei
hifalutin' bluff.
hold that books an science neve
hit upon lead,
Never built two modern wonders
slch as Cripple Greek an Cieede
But that every payin' prospect il
the hilly west was struck
By common sense an judgment, ar
by gol darned luck,
AS said at the beginnin', it is seldom
that preach,
An | never fool with language out {
ordinary reach,
But when science gets a.trampin' on tn
toes O. common sense,
Then it's time to show your hand agains

FIREWORKS ON RIVER
Elaborate Preparations For the
Woodmen Picnic to Be Held
Next Month.
PARADE OF ILLUMINATED BAReEs
Some Surprises to Be Sprung BY
the Committee in Connec-
ton With Display.

According to all indications. this
one of the best, if not the very best,
exhibitions of fireworks ever seen here
at the Woodmen picnic next month.
The local committee on arrange
ments has closed a contract on very
favorable terms with the Consolidated
Fireworks company of st. Louis to
furnish the pyrotechnics for the occa-
sion. This company is one same
one that furnished the fireworks
at Moline at the big Fourth of July
celebration two years ago, and the eX-
hibition now promised will be at
least twice as extensive as that was.
Biggest That Ever Happened.
The comPsny's agent, John Wan
kelman, has been here for tue pact
two days conducting negotiations
with the mem bers of the committee.
and those who have had the most ex-
perienee in local exhibitions have been
called in to offer advice in the selec-
ton. All agree that this will be the
biggest thing of the kind ever seen in
these parts.
Surprises to BE Sprung.
There are SO numbers in the pro-
gram mapped out aud each number
includes Brilliant display. Among
them are some surprises, the charac-
ter of which will not be given out till
the time arrives for their exhibition.
The display will take place on the
river, the barges from which the
pieces are discharged floating down in
Il gorgeous procession we'll out in the
stream. In addition to what the
committee has contracted for, Ber-
nard Beiber, the druggist, has donat.
ed an assortment worth $25 and there
will be other private additions to the
display.

STRANGER ATTEMPTS
TO KILL A POLICEMAN,

Five shots were fired near Pete
Jacobsen in Northwest Davenport at
midnight. one by Officer Alger, of the
police force and four by the man at
whom Alger had shot.
The. officer noticed a man coming
from the direction Of the fair grounds
and was about to halt and question
him when the stranger. instead of
stopping when told to do so, turned
and fled. Alger pulled his revolver
and discharged il at the man, who
thereupon turned and returned the
fire. sending four bullets at the po-
liceman.
One of these struck the fence near
where the officer stood, but none took
effect in his person. The stranger
seemed to shoot to kill, however, but
when he had fired four shots he
turned again and ran out the mid
die road. Officer Alger reported the
affair at once to the station and Capt.
Hitchcock went at once to the scene.
The superstition is that the stranger
had been up to some serious crime
and thought the police wanted him.
No other explanation accounts for
his desperate action.

FARM HAND GETS GAY
AND TURNS UP IN COURT

Henry Anderson for the past two
years has been the trusted employe
of farmer named Louis Burmeister
living near Audalusia, bat he has
fallen from grace.
He was arrested this morning by
Deputy Sheriff Andrews Just as he
was about to leave these parts for
North Dakota and this afternoon is
having a hearing before Justice
Schri5er on the rather inadequate
charge of disorderly con 1uct growing
out of advances he made toward his
employers 16-year-old daughter,
Anna. last Wednesday morning.
On that occasion Anderson went
out of the Burmeister domicile
through a window and has thought
it best TO remain away ever since
1t appears that the parents of the
girl are peaceabe folk and would not
have gone to law if it had not been
for the fact that Anderson has in
dulged in deal of talk since Wednes-
day, and, it is claimed, added insult
to iciury.

Police Points

Louis Hartmann and man named
Beck were arrested for fighting last
night in the vicinity of Ninth street
and Tenth avenue. Both gave surety
for an appearance tonight.
James McWilliams, who lives at
Eighteenth street and Third avenue,
was arrested last night on complaint
of Miss Minnie Gray for creating a
disturbance while drunk. He was re-
leased on promise to appear. but
did not show up today.
Through an error in the records at
the police station it was made 10 ap-
pear that D. Grotlan had been fined
50 Wednesday evening on complaint
of Mrs. Henry Glotzbach. The fact
of the matter is that at the hearing
the complainant perceived that there
was no ground for action and the
matter was dropped at her request.
