his share of the cost, amounting to
S25 in each case. would be returned
to the saloonkeepers against whom the
injunction proceedings had been
brought. The costs in each case was
$50 and Rev. Giglinger understood
that the law entitled the attorneys
to S25 and himself to the remaining
$25. He therefore announced that
he would not accept his share, but
would return it to the salOonkeepers
Now he has been informed by Hub

brought against the salOonkeeper and

DAVENPORT DOTS

The two power plants which are to
operate the |. & 1. road between Dav-
export and Clinton are to be built,
one at Valley City and one at Shaft
Station. From these two places the
power which will operate all of the
cars between Davenport and the sister
city will be conducted and the work
on the construction of the plants is to
be begun as soon as possible. Over
100000 will be spent on the construc-

the latest machinery will be installed.
One of the most modern improvements
that will be use is the tarbine wheel,
a new invention which is said to have
revolutionized the furnishing of mo-

each plant and they are demonstrated
to furnish the power with much less
cost than any other invention. The
announcement is also made that four
big barns will be built, one at Daven-
port, one at each of the power stations
and one at Clinton.
