The final summons came yesterday
to Gerhard F. KnOstman, an old time
resident of this city. For some years
he has been failing in health and has
been under medical care. This is the
end of a busy and useful life. He
came TO Davenport many years ago.
In 1888 he with his deceased brother
J. Frederick Knostman founded the
furniture factory now conducted I'M
der the name of Knostman & Peter
sen. After "a years he went into the
retail business with his son Henry.
At the time of Henry's death, or a
short time before, he retired from
business and settled down in his COM
Portable home on Columbus avenue to
enjoy life. He is survived by his

and Ellsworth Livingston, the we'll
known musician, had an unenviable
experience while on their way to their
camp on Rock river Sunday noon.
They engaged rig at Blackwell
barn and started over the Nineteenth
street route for the river. At a point
south of the old slaughter house the
road is very narrow, being wide
enough for only one rig, while on eth
er side the steep embanllment descends
a hundred feet When the horse reach
ed this point it SHE'D at something in
the road and jumped to one side, fall
ing and dragging the buggy after it
Over and over went the rig and the
occupants, and when the bottom was
reached it was found that the buggy
was practically wrecked. Strange &c
say the occupants escaped almost un
hurt, save for severe shaking up and
a bad fright. Mr.. Livingston sustain
ed a slight bruise over one eye, and
declares cmphatically that while they
were rolling down the hill he expected
to be killed every minute.
With the termination of the chau-
tauQua sessions last evening the finan-
cial aspect of the enterprise is engag-
ing the most anxious scrutiny of the
management 1t is still an open
question whether or not the finances
will make out even or not Indications
are that there will be enough money
to pay the expenses, but not enough
for. profits or any fund TO carry over
to next year. This year there have
been peculiar combinations of circum-
stances against the assembly. Al
though the weather has been perfect,
day and night. there have been sew
eral conflicting events during the as
sembly which have kept down the at
tendance on particular nights. To
many the program did not appeal as
formerly because Of the fact that sew
eral of the same performers had been
brought back TO repeat the successes
they had made in former years. 1t
takes a pretty good act to take sec
ond time in this city, where the peO-
pie are decidedly critical. Moline has
had too much TO choose from in the
way Of entertainment both in the for
mer chautauquas and the winter
courses.

King Philip tribe No. 81, Improved
Order of Red Men, the Indians who
have been rendezvousing at the island,
broke camp yesterday and henceforth
the river will echo no more war
whoops. The outing, which has been
the most successful ever held by the
Reds, and which has been enjoyed by
larger number of friends than any
other ever given by the tribe, cOnclud-
ed with a ball game between the sin
gle and married men.

was sentenced to Is days in the cOun-
! ty Jail yesterday by Magistrate Olson.

Mrs. Julia d. Randall has accepted
position as instructor in the Moline
high school She will probably fill the
vacancy left by Miss Middlekauff when
she returned her contract unsigned.
Miss Randall comes to Moline highly
recommended, having had several
years of experience in high school
teaching and the board of education
is very fortunate in securing so able
young lady. At present she is re-
siding at Alton, ILL.,, and it was from
this place that he contract was re-
ceived.
w. NJ. Jewell. chemical expert for
the New York Continental Jewell Fill
tratiOn company, completed at noon

used by the city of Moline. AS a re-

the filtration of it's water in place of
iron and lime solution so far used.
Suit against the Moline Board Of
Education by George King, the Fifth
avenue photographer. is threatened if
a bill which he holds against the
board for work done in connection
with the public school exhibit for the
st. Louis fair is not paid. The claim
IS now in the hands of Mr.. Kings
attorney, NJ. J. McEniry, and proceed
ings are to be started after the next

not taken.

Word from the United States court
of appeals at ST. Louis is to the eff
feet that the city of Davenport has
lost in the Camp Mcclellan paving
case. In this case So, 900 and a little
more was involved, and the news is
all the worse for Davenport when ii is
known that as recently as last Novem-
Der the defense offered to settle with
the city for $4,000. This paving in
the Camp Mcclellan neighbOrhood was
done years ago and it was charged
up TO the property, but payment was
resisted. Originally the bill was a
little more than $4,000, but interest
swelled it by more than $1,000. On
what grounds the court finds against
the city is a matter yet to be ascer-
tanned.

A reporter of the Messenger in
terviewed some of the citizens OF
the upper part of the parish this
week, regarding the condition OF
the crops, and the general opinion
is that just about half the crop OF
last year will be made. The crop
of last year was a short one In this
parish, and if this one is shorter
by half, it will be very small. In
the lower part of the parish the
cotton crop will be much better
than reported from above;' but
there is no denial of the fact that
the crop will be very short.

"A tempest in tea pot" we are
told, is the expression of one of
local bosses, on the expressions
and condemnation that have been
heaped upon Boss Blanchard, on
account of his attempt to boss the
City of New Orleans. This may
be the way the prejudiced and
blind admirers of Blanchard look
at this matter; but if they only in-
quire and learn who are the men
at the head of the movement to
crush Blanchard's audacity and
his horde of ward bosses, they will
realize that it is more serious to
the gang in power than they seem
to want to admit. But. whether
they like it or not, they will have
to take that bitter medicine that
will be administered to them on
the 9th Of November.

Last night a few minutes after five

and it was continuous through last

the rain guage at the Military Insti-
tute showed that go inches of rain
had fallen. While this is not as much
rain as fell a week ago. it has prob
ably done more good on account OF

It fell.
From all reports received to the
hour of going to press the rain has
been general over this part of the
Territory. All along the line of rail
road from Pecos to Amarillo the
country has been visited by a good

Some of the streets of Roswell
looked this morning like young lakes
rather than running rivers. But the
town authorities should not be criti-
cised too severely, as a small ditch
dam on the Hondo washed out this
morning and much of the water seen
IN the streets comes from this break

able to carry it off.

here had resolved itself by the time
the Republican convention actually
met today into plain conflict be.
tween Governor Odell and Senator
Platt. There is no antagonism be-
tween Odell and Woodruff and none
between Woodruff and Lieutenant
Governor Higgins. Woodruff was not
averse to an amicable settlement of
the conflict between his and Higgins
interests, but the uncompromising at
titude of Platt in behalf of Woodruff
precluded his withdrawal or the Sc

was taken until tomorrow.
