The Right to Dam.

St. Louis GIobeDemocrat: Sam
Davis IS to be given the right, by con
gress, to dam the Rock river, in Hi
nos There have been times in his
campaigning when Uncle joe Can
non has damned the Ambraw, the Yer
million. and the Kankakee. all classic
Illinois streams, without permission of
congress. 1t is now some years since
Representative Fowler of Hardin coun-
ty made herculean efforts at Spring
field to have Crow river, in his dis
trict, declared unnavigable, as means
of getting it bridged. His failure has
made that mighty tributary of the Wa
bash damned by everybody since, with
out the consent of congress, and even
in defiance of the Illinois Legislature.

THOUGHT 1T ROCK ISLAND
Aiieqed Customs Inspector Creates
Trouble in Davenport.

a former resident of Davenport,
named Charles Webb appeared at the
postofIice building in that city this at
ternoon and presenting credentials as
an inspector of customs offices de-
manded that he be allowed to look
over the books of the office he declared
was there. There is no port of entry
in Davenport, and it seems that the
man was under the impression he was
in Rock Island So insistent did he
become that the police were finally
called upon to take care of him. Webb
was formerly connected with the
treasury department. He appears to
be laboring under some sort of delu-
sion.
