he still found time to impart the rudi-

to manhood in bitter poverty, having
sometimes literally nowhere TO lay his
head. Yet in spite of all obstacles. he
became Il distinguished scholar, YER

An instance of what may be done
with interurban connections is found
in the fact that Alb Olham just below

Three streets.

According to the plat, the town of
Tippecanoe was laid out by David Jen-
nings. 1t had three streets, running
parallel with each other, and named,
respectively, Maine, Harrison and Wal
nut streets. The name Harrison came
from the hero of Tippecanoe, after
whom the town was named. Four cross
streets divided the town into blocks,
and those were called Indiana, Ohio,
Washington and Knight streets. Again

That the proposed interurban from

the manner in which they received the

Mr. Mills proposes to spend the rest

is probably the richest section to be
touched by the proposed interurban.
An incident which was of particular in

the fact that the keeper of the hotel at

Name and Those of Streets Were
Taken From History.

There are many forgotten things in
the historian to recall to mind. How
many people, for instance in this local
ity recall the old town at Tippecanoe
and how few in fact have any idea that
such town ever existed in Rock Is
land county? Yet this town existed
and for time flourished, just as did
Rockingham on the Iowa side of the
river down below Davenport. Like
Rockingham, the old town of Tippe-

was located just west of what is now
Rapids City in this county. Its loca-
ton was only few miles above Moline.

THE HEATER WAS MADE TO HEAT
Representative of Atlanta Furnace Co. Came to Dawson
and Warmed School Building in Little Whlle

claiming that failure to heat the build
ing was due to ignorance and improp-
er management.
Wednesday morning, one Of the
coolest days of the winter Mr.. G. B..
Theilman, a representative of the COM
pany, tested the apparatus, and the
mayor and members Of the council
were present by invitation.
A fire was made in the furnace at
o'clock, and by s o'clock, the hour
at which school takes in, the entire
building was comfortably heated, the
temperature being 68 degrees and
higher IN every room.
What effect this demonstration will
have upon the lawsuit The News, of
course, cannot say, but it is certain
that members of the council have a
better opinion of the system than they
had before.
The council will very likely discuss
1n1 matter at their meeting next Tues
day.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1906-01-31

Is the heating system in the school
building, about which there has been
so much complaint and which has
caused lawsuit between the Atlanta
Furnace Co. and the city council, a
frstclass warmth-producer after all?
Or was it merely happen-so when it
heated The entire building on recent
cold HaralHg in reasonably short
time under tbs direction of an en-
.ployee Of the firm that Installed it?
II will be remembered that eyer aince
the new school building was erected
there has been much complaint of
some of the rooms not being property
heated and on numerous occasions
the pupils of some of the grades have
been sent home on account of the cold.
The result was that the city council
refused to pay the Atlanta Furnace
Company balance due for installing
the system, and that firm recently en-
tered suit against the city for $3.50,
