last night about 1880 o'clock. He was
driving an express wagon along Main

The matter of Moline being sighted
by not having the trains on the Peo-
ria branch of the Rock Island System
run to this city was taken up and
thoroughly discussed at the last meet
ing of the Moline club. Moline feels
that the operation of the train to
this city, instead of stopping at Rock
Island, would be a great convenience
to the travelling public, and especial
ly to the travelling men who visit Mo-
line. The board disposed of the mat
ter by instructing +. H. Sleight, the
secretary, to write the railroad Off
cials and endeavor to induce the COM
pany to run the trains to this city,
pointing out the unfairness of the
present conditions.

At ? o'clock yesterday afternoon
Jailer Eldridge went to the padded
cell in the county jail to look after
John Slater, a man who had been
brought to the Jail from the police
station, as he was apparently suffer
ing from a bad case of delirium ire
mems. When the jailer opened the
door he was startled to see the man
stretched out on the floor apparently
insensibIe. He went over to look at
him and to his amazement found that
he was cold and lifeless, having died
after he was placed in the cell. Slater
was formerly the proprietor of the
Blue Front saloon on East Second
street, but for some time had been
reduced to tramping the streets. He
was found in Bucktown Thursday af-
ternoon very much the worse for
drink and on the verge of an attack
of delirium tremens. He was remov-
ed to the station and then to the
county Jail. where he was placed in
the padded cell, as he was suffering
from the snakes.

For years it has been the purpose
of inventors to construct a tongue
tapering machine to be used in the
many wagon. buggy and pillow works
for the shaping of tongues used on
various vehicles and pillow imple-
ments, but everyone has failed c. w.
Berg. employed at Deere & Mansur
cOmpany's for nine years, believes he
has solved the problem and has the
machine which will prove a success in
several factories 1t is as wonderful
as it is practical and it will save at
least $50 on every 1000 tongues that
are made. The machine is simple,
but it is almost human in its work
ings. A rough timber which is big
enough for the tongue can be stuck
in one end of the machine and when
it comes out it is ready to be painted
and put in the store house to dry.
For years all the tongues used have
been made almost by hand, with the
assistance of machines. such as the
saw, planer and sandpapering ma
chine, but the new machine will do
away with all of this.

mer and Hugo and Richard Koehler
left yesterday for ST. Louis and will
proceed from there to Mexico on a
bear hunt. The party will be Joined
in st. Louis by four others and the
seven will go direct to Mexico. They
will go directly into the heart of the

engaged wagons and teams. and will
then leave for the wilderness, where
they propose to beard bruin in his
den. The party is fully equipped with
all necessaries for the hunt and if
necessary can live in the woods for
weeks. Guns that look like cannon
are among the other equipments and
it is safe that there will be a scarcity
of bears when they pack up and come
home. DR.. Vollmer expects to be gone
two weeks or more and the others
will remain a month or six weeks.

Mrs. Alice NJ. Butler, of Des Moines,
the originator of the John L. May
proposition, is in this city. Although
Mrs. Butler is non-commital in regard
to her mission here, it is understood
that she is endeavOring to close up
her business affairs with the John L.
May company in order to devote her
energies to another field in the hope
of realizing upon her promotion en-
terprises. She has evidently given
Davenport up as a bad proposition.

BONDED FOR $4,000
Sh q ska and Robinson Made a
Quick Mining Deal

Joseph Shaska and Phil Robinson,
whose recent rich strike in "Owl
Hollow, "a few miles east Of Grants

The holders Of the bond are Colorado
capitalists and were represented here
by Capt T. J. Pearce Of Cod Hill,
through whom the terms were ar
ranged. Capt. Pearce himself takes a
moneyed interest in the property
Comparatively little work has been
done on the mine and the fact that
capitalists were eager to take hold Of
1t at this figure in an undeyeloped
condition shows the marvelously fine
promise given by the mine. It has,
however been developed TO some ex-
tent by nature, as II small creek has
uncovered the ledge for a distance of
about 200 feet The ledge has also
been cut in several places by tunnel
and shaft. The vein is eight feet in
width, and the orc IL in the main

percentage OF sulphurets which are Of
exceptionally high grade The new
owners will proceed Immediately with
development work, though only a
small crew will be kept at work this
winter to ascertain the permanency of

l has been said that New Years
day is "a day to dream by, " u day of
ideals which we never reach and
which for the other S04 days we do
not try TO reach This is probably
true in a great measure, yet it is well
worth white that there should be such
day, whom tho current of thought,
plan, motive aud intention is lifted
above the every day level Not all Of
MS have high ideals ON New Years day
Some of us are poverty stricken in
ideals OF any kind. But thoro are
enough who, ON New Years dav.
bring forth their best ideals and
earnestly resolve, for the year TO
come, TO live closer to them than over
before, TO give this day AN uplifting
and improving quality which has moro
effect and influence than any of us
realize When considerable number
OF people make a simultaneous resolve
To do better good must result from
the very resolve, II it is sincere oven
though little subsequent effort is
made TO carry it out.
