Saturday declared the cash bond of
$240 given by David White as guaran
tee OF his good faith in his pledge to
support his wife, to be forfeited and
ordered that the money be paid to the
wife in monthly installments of $40.
Some time ago White was arrested

ter being bound over to the grand
jury on his agreement to do better III

his wife and children. He deposited
cash bond of $240 as surety that he
would keep his word. He failed to do
so, however, and now the bond is de-
clared forfeited and the money will be
paid to the wife.

Two Fires in One Evenins-The fur
niture and upholstering establishment
of John Poelti at 41S-420 Brady street,
was badly damaged by fire srortly af-
ter IL O'Clock Saturday night. The
loss is estimated in the neighborhood
of $4,000. The origin of the fire is I'M
known but it is attributed either to the
explosion nj some gasoline in the rear
of the store of to spontaneous COM
bustion. There was no one on the
premises At the time. The escaping
smoke was discovered by passing pc
destrians and an alarm turned in. By
the time Of the arrival of the fire de-
partment, the whole interior of the
store was a mass of flame and smoke.
The flames played havoc with the
highly polished furniture and made a
hot fire which was difficult to exiting
uish. At $50 o'clock Saturday even
ing the fire department was summoned
to the foot of Myrtle street, where it
was reported the Mississippi river was
burning up. At this point the refuse

Railroads and Council DeadIocked.-
The Davenport city council has voted
Front street west of Harrison as a site
for the union station that the railroads
have been talking of building for sew
eral years. The officers of the rail
roads declare there is only one loca
ton on which they will build. and that
is between Main and Harrison streets.
There the matter rests. The confer

Threatens War on Barbers.-Vigor-
Gus protest is being raised by some of
the boss BARRIERS in the downtown dis
trict over what they charge is the ar
bitrary action of journeymen BARRIERS,
whose union denies them the right to
open for business before s O'Clock in
the morning. Travelling men who visit
| Moline-the hustling ones at least
start out about o'clock in the morning
on their calls on the manufacturers.
| They usually desire to be shaved be-
fore they go out for the days work.
and the complaints they enter has
caused the management of the Manu-
facturers' hotel to finally state that a
shop will be started in the vacant store
room on Sixteenth street if present
shops will not open to accommodate
hotel patrons at least as early as 1880.
The management promises that If
shop is opened the early service de-
manded will be given.
Skip an Observation-Disclosures placed
| in the pay envelopes of the 1900 EN-
ployes of Deere & company advising
them that the December insurance
assessments would be skipped, was
| pleasant news to the men. The pen
sion and insurance features inaug-
urated in January of this year, each
distinctly separate from the other,
prove themselves well planned, and
the men take the news that an assess
ment is to- be passed as best evidence
of this fact. Hence the qualification
amounts 20 more than would be in
spired by the mere saving OF 30 cents.
The pension system is something the
men have nothing to do with. 1t Is
supported wholly by the company
men as they reach the age of Go years
being retired on pension, provided they
have served i'll the Deere shops 20
years or more. The annual report of
both systems will be issued i'll Janu-
airy. and at that time announcement
of the number of men who have been
retired will be made.
