CITIES ARE seen
About Two Hundred River Pas
sengers From St.
Louis Arrive.
DUBUQUE HELD THREE HOURS
Car Accommodations Will Be Furnished
BY Diamond 10 Agency on the
Next Trip.

In order TO give the 200 passengers
on the steamer Dubuque. which arrived
from st. Louis yesterday afternoon at
$3.50 an opportunity 10 take in the
sights of the three cities, the boat
was held here until 6:15 o'clock last
evening before departing on the return
trip. The passengers were all anxious
to get over as much of the three cities
as possible, and nearly 100 left orders
with the clerk. for carriages and bus
Accommodations. 1t was impossible to
secure this transportation in Rock Isl.
and. so Davenport liverymen were
called on, and five of the depot omni-
buses were secured from that side.
The passengers were given a two
hours ride through Rock Island and
the business portion of Davenport
Car OdatiOns.
Owing to the difficulties in securing
convenient Accommodations for the pas
sengers, w. H. Lamont has made ar
rangements with the clerk of the
steamer, and when the Dubuque ar
rives next Thursday from St. Louis a
special street car will be in waiting in
Rock Island to take all the passengers
who desire to make the trip. over the
lines of the three cities. Arrangements
have been made for a sufficient layover
here to allow time for the trip.
The extension of the short line of
the Diamond 10 packet to Rock Island
is proving a great success. and the
steamer arrives each week with nearly
200 round trip passengers from st.
Louis. When the officials of the COM
pany decided to make trial of the St.
Louis-Rock Island trip they were of
the opinion that it would be losing
venture. though the Rock Island and
Davenport agents assured them that it
would be success.
