Loses Both Legs.
The Columbia a Favorite.

The Saturday afternoon trips on the
race horse steamer Columbia are be-
ing very literally patronized by our
best people. They know the Columbia
is not only fast, but strong and safe in
any weather, and it has an excellent
crew, able and well disposed to look
after the comfort and pleasure of a
large company.
Rough people do not go on it; they
know they are not wanted, and it is
no fun for them to go on it. The Co
lumbia's own orchestra furnishes ex-
cellent music for dancing, and plenty
of it. Take your lunch basket. You
can get ice cream or coffee or regu-
lar warm 50-cent supper if you wish.
The Columbia makes this trip every
Saturday, leaving Davenport at $3.50
p. m. and Rock Island at d. M, and
returns at 10:30 p. m. 1t then leaves
for Keokuk, arriving there Sunday at
2 p. m. The Columbia has good rooms
and other accommodations for round
"trip passengers.
