try to take more energetic measures
to expand their manufacturing and
business interests. They believe that
the attendance of large number of
the most enterprising men of the south
ern states at the conference between
the national conservation commission
and the state governors or their rep
resentatives will lead to fuller realiz-
alton of the immense natural resources

Vast Power Wasted.
In this connection they cite recent
report by the geological survey which
stated that there is a minimum of
about 100000 indicated horse power
developed by the rivers rising in the
southern Appalachian mountains, half
of which, at the very least, could be
utilized for power. So far hardly
enough has been developed to make an
appreciate showing compared with
the enormous possibilities. Full devel-
opment of storage facilities in these
river basins would increase the horse
power from 5 to so times. according to
the experts. But, taking the minimum
of 100000 horse power, its rental at
$40 per horse power per year would
amount to an annual return of SOS, 000,-
600. Water power is much cheaper
than fuel power, and will become more
and more so as the available supply of
fuel is depleted. This means that the
demand for water power will increase
Those southern business men foresee
a great manufacturing future for their
section and are determined to instill
their ideas into the minds of others.
They point out also that the usefulness
of these rivers can be increased not
only for manufacturing, but for trans
portation. The improvement of the
lumber business and of the allied in
dustry of thrpentining has also receiv-
ed much attention from them. In some
states they say there are very rich
mineral deposits which might be work
ed with great profit.

man Burrows referred to the Repub-
lican victory in 1904, and then asked:
"In view of this Endorsement, 1t be-
comes pertinent and opportune to in
quire. what has the Republican party
done in the last four years of govern
ment control to forfeit public conf
dence or create distrust>in its capac-
ity for future administration?
For this question the Rochester
New York; Union and Advertiser
finds a striking answer. This is the
answer which the Union and Adver'
tiser takes out of the mouth of Sen
ator Burrows own party as stated in
the Republican Platform of 1896: "In
the broad effect of it's policy 1T has
precipitated panic, blighted industry
and trade with prolonged depression,
closed factories, reduced work and
wages, halted enterprise and crippled
American production. Every consider
alton of public safety and individual
interest demands that the government
shall be rescued from the hands OF
those who have shown themselves in
cable of conducting it without dis
aster."

DAVENPORT

Nurse Girl Heroine.-That a little
nurse girl, faithful to her trust, can
show an heroic nature, just as plainly
as those in roles lest modest in their
nature, was shown by Minnie Molin,
a Davenport girl, iii an incident that
happened at Third and Brady streets
yesterday noon. Minnie, who is quite
dimihutive in size. had been giving
little Jack Pierce a trip onto the hill.
The little lad, years old, is the son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Pierce, who
are living at the Palestine hotel.
When they reached Third street on
their way down Brady, she picked the
lad up in her arms to carry him across
the street Just then a wagon came
hurting along the street and the lit
tie girl had just time to toss the child
out of the way as she was struck and
knocked with stunning force onto the
pavement. The boy was practically
uninjured, but the girl was uncon-
scious for few minutes, and had a
badly bruised face and head as the
result of her experience. After she
recovered her senses her solicitude
was all for her little charge and not
for herself, and those who saw the &C
cidsnt were warm in their praise of
her conduct.
Took Cocaine; Stole.-Pleading that

Starbuck last Friday, young man
giving the name of Ross Meyers,
against whom a charge of larceny was
entered, was let off with 80 day Jail
sentence by Police Magistrate L. E.
Roddewig Yesterday. Meyers is CO
caine victim, and it was while under
the influence of the drug that he en-
tered the Office of DR.. Starbuck in the
Lane building. He had cut in the
head and said that he had called to
have Dr. Starbuck dress the wound.
The doctor testified. however, that the
young man wanted him to issue him
a prescription for more cocaine. This
he refused, and hurried out of the of
fee to respond to an accident call,
leaving Meyers. The latter, in the alb
sepce of the doctor, took the surgical
instruments. He pawned them for so
cents at the Sanders second hand
store and went to Rock Island, where
he was arrested Saturday. The stolen
property has been restored to DR.
Starbuck. Meyers says that his home
is In New York state. and that he is a
cook by trade. His conversation in
dicates that he has been we'll educated
but he has been handicapped by his
weakness for drugs.

Corner Stone Laid.-Before a rep.
resentative audience numbering close
to 5000 people the corner stone of the
new Holy Family church in North
west Davenport was laid Sunday af-
ternoon with a very imposing cere-
mony. People from all parts of the
city were present to witness the exer
cises and in so doing show their in
terest in the work being done by Rev.
Father Enright and the members of
the parish. With the laying of the
corner stone. on which is carved A
large cross and the words Holy Fam
lily Church, 1905" the work of build
ing the church will be pushed as rap
idly as possible and it is Father En-
rights desire to have the new edifice
of worship ready for dedication on
Christmas day. The various Catholic
societies of the city attended the dedi-
cation in a body, being preceded in
the line of march by Otto's band. The
blessing of the stone was performed
by Rt Rev. J. T. A. Flanagan, vicar
general of the Davenport diocese.
Eloquent address were delivered by
Rev. Father Quinn of Rock Island and
Mayor George w. Scott of Davenport.
The closing remarks were made by
Father Enright. the popular pastor of
the Holt Family church.
Mayor for Garbage Crematory.-
Mayor George w. Scott has completed
his investigation of dealing with the
garbage question gaining the expert
ence of number of other cities, and
he finds that the best method for
Davenport to adopt is that of inciner
alton. He will accordingly recon-
mend to the city council the installa-
ton of an incineration plant, the cost
to be between $4,000 and $4,000.
The mayor has devoted considerable
time to study of the garbage prob
lem. and he finds the reduction pro-
cess. while meritorious. is impractical
for cities having less than 10000 pop
ulation. Where the amount of gar
bage is large enough the by-product
is of sufficient quantity to justify the

otherwise than burning it's garbage.
This was the cheapest and most sani
