cAMPBELL'S ISLAND
FOR A SUMMER RESORT

Campbell's island, that fine resort
which has been famous as one Of the
ideal camping spots in the Mississippi
river for many years, is likely to be
sold, and with the passing from the
present owners it may be closed to
camping parties which have occupied
the place for several seasons by per-
mission of the heirs of the estate of
the late K. w. Adams, who control
the place.
1t is understood that a syndicate
which has in view the opening of an
up-river summer resort has had a
covetous eye upon the island for some
syndicate are taking definite shape,
overtures are being made for the Pur-
chase of the place.
There is ample shade upon the
island and everything that nature
could provide for those on pleasure
bent in the summer months. On the
north side q sandy beach stretches far
into the water. ample to afford splen-
did bathing facilities and fishing,
boating, ETC., all combining to make 1t
capital place for the purposes OF
| beautiful summer resort.
| Several years ago an effort was
m ade to secure the island for like
purpose, a good offer being made at
| that time, but for some reason the
deal did not materialize.
| The fact is that at this time two
separate and distinct deals are on,
aud this means that transfer viii
most likely be made. Besides the
syndicate above referred to, agents in
Moline are dickeriDg for the purchase
of the island for out of-town parties,
the latter being backed by plenty OF
money, it is claimed, and willing tC
make a transformation of the place
that will prove n pleasing surprise tC
the people of this locality. 1t is init
mated that the Port ByronMoline
trolley road promoters are also inter
ested in it in some manner, either di
rectly or indirectly.
The island comprises $50 acres o.
very good farm land, 140 acres being
under cultivation. 1t is located about
six miles from this city and may bt
reached by two lines of railroad or By
boat. 1t is understood that the lane
is valued at $50. 600 to S3O, 900, but 8

tate will be held within few days tC

likely that price equal to that o

Had a fine trip until Satur- day noon, when we ran into a furious storm (you have read of it by this time). The thunder serenaded us and the lightning outdid Edison and dur ing the night off Cape Hatteras the water was foot deep on the after deck. Sunday morning out of 200 pas sengers, II appeared at breakfast. I happened to be one of them. We were all thankful we were under the care of Capt Pennington. By Sunday .even- ing the storm had abated and we were able to gather in the cabin, where one of the best of Sunday services was held, led by the captain and purser of the steamer. We had many talented and professional speakers, singers and mu- Sicians who made it very impressive, as well as enjoyable. We arrived in Charleston at 6.3O a. m., Monday.
 
 visitors, who then took the trolley to the Exposition grounds, which was to be opened to the public on the follow ing Monday. The layout of the build- ings and it's beautiful grounds, made so by the many palms and palmetto trees and the ease and comfort of get ting around were very noticeable. It did not seem possible for the many hundred WOrkmen to have the grounds in order for the opening day. We left Charleston at o'clock p. m. for Jack sOnville. In the evening had a fine concert and with new kind of talk ing machine all lWerc entertained until after 10 o'clock. Our voyage to Jack sonville, where we landed at o'clock, Tuesday morning, was fine and pleas ant. On the trip we had Dwight Wheeler and wife, Mrs E. A. Smith and Mrs Lockwood of Bridgeport, al- so B. F. Pratt and sister from Warren, who were bound for Orange City. In an hour after leaving the steamer we were on board the train and in another hour had reached St Augus- tine. Our trip from there was at rapid pace over a level road and the delightful balmy air and beautiful palms that looked so lovely all along the road to Orange City made the day very short. As we passed through the village we saw Mrs II. L. Flames of Washington waving to us welcome from the Palmetto Cottage." Orange City is now very quiet and where five years or so ago 300,O0O boxes of oranges were shipped, from 10000 to 10000 will be sent off this season. A few carloads have already been sent away and one grove I visit ed to-day will furnish about 1900 boxes of kid glove oranges.

 The committee who have had charge of the purchase of the new fire appara- tuS for the Newtown Fire Co.,, have about finished their labors. They have bought through the Fabric Fire Hose Co. a hand pump made by the Rumsey Pump Co. that is capable of throwing a one and one-half inch stream of water, which is as large as the committee deemed it wise to buy in view of the limited water supply to be had. They have also bought hose reel and 60 feet of suction hose, noZzles, etc. With great liberality, General Manager Cole has presented to the fire company 400 feet of one and one-half inch fabric hose such as is made by his company, and in addition to this splendid gift, gave most generous dis counts on the pump and accessories. With the new, apparatus and the old truck put in working order the village and vicinity will be fairly we'll supplied with fire protection.

 Fall. forces of Tammany in New York whereby Seth Low is elect ed mayor of the first city of the land has caused a great deal of rejoicing all over the country. It is an object les son for other cities and for the smaller towns as. well, where it often happens that there is rule by ring and the misapprcpriation by deals and jobs of the public money. It gives one some idea of what hold Tammany had on the pocketbook of New York when we learn that the pat ronage it had to distribute amounted to %4S 900, 900 and that there was all army of about 44,OOO people who were being fed at the public crib. A good share of these did little work but held the job and drew the money. It is to be question ed whether there was as much cOrruD- tion in any city of the world as has existed in New York. Vice was al- lowed to flourish so long as it paid it's taxes and the innocent were tleeced to help support the guilty law breakers. The new administration has good job on it's hands to clean out the cor ruption and vice of New York and the public will watch the effort with great deal of interest. May the true spirit of reform prevail.

The balloon reached it's destination first and the two aerial passengers had taken the train for Paris before the automobile company arrived.
