ed for the rest of the season. So the

building now advancing rapidly at the
northwest corner of Fourth and Main
streets. The first assessment of SO
per cent, issued last January, has all
been paid with but a few exceptions
and prompt payment of this second
assessment is expected to follow
Kick on Proposed location.-That
the proposition to locate the new
union depot at the foot of Scott street
and continue the immense amount of
commercial switching between the de-
pot and the business part of town,
would be reversal of the usual order
of things and leaving in the front yard
of the station the work that should be
done in the back yard, was the opinion
expressed by many Davenporters, who
are signing petitions 10 the city coun-
ell urging that the depot should be To-
Gated farther east. Better a box car
in the right location than a handsome
preston of one citizen.

received here of the death of Henry

Of Blue Grass, which occurred in Wes-
ton. Nebraska. Arrangements were
