DAVENPORT

Old Davenport Property Involved
Since the filing of the suit in partition
by Mary I. Goldsmith and her nine
children against the J. H. &c. Petersen
estate, it has developed that several
other large and choice pieces of Dav-
export real estate are similarly involv-
ed. The suit arises under the will of
Zachariah Goldsmith, who died in 1854
and who, II is claimed, inherited the
property at issue through his wife,
Susan Goldsmith, a daughter of Col
onel George Davenport. The two prop
critics which figure in the litigation
now before the district court are the
large three story brick structure at the
southeast corner of Third and Ripley
streets, formerly the Sehricker and
Rodler property, now owned by the Pc
tersen estate, and the property immed
lately adjoining to the east, now own
ed by Frederick L. Ludolph of Rock
Island. The plaintiffs are suing for
ntne-twelfths interest in the property
and their proportionate share of rents
and profits since the present owners
have been in possession. It is under
stood the Goldsmiths now live in Vir-
ginia and their attorney, J. T. Harrt-
son, who has instituted the present
suit, resides in Cincinnati, and has re
tanned Lane & Waterman of this city
as associate counsel. Mr.. Harrison
was in Davenport some time ago for
the purpose of looking over the ground

clients have a we'll established claim

thousand dollars.

Make This Laxative Cough
Syrup Cheaply at Home.
Any one can make a full
pint of finest acting laxative
cough syrup for about 70 to
80 cents. About eight times
cheaper than labeled cough
syrups, because a pint will
last a family a long time.
First obtain of any well stock
cd druggist 21a ounces of es-
sence Mentho-laxene; empty it
into a pint bottle. Then make
a syrup with a pint of granu-
lated sugar and a half pint of
boiling water. Stir, let cool
and fill the bottle with the
syrup. Shake we'll and take a
teaspoonful every hour or two.
Eight to ten doses daily will
act as a mild laxative. check
the cough instantly and cure
it quicker than anything you
can buy. This syrup builds up
the strength of the system and
makes the tissues of the lungs
and throat healthy.
Chronic cases yield mos.
readily to its beneficial action.
Give children less according to
age.

he or she has small fortune lock
ed up in fiddle case. The some
body does not know much about
violins, but has heard or read that
an old violin is very valuable
thing, and because grandfather hap
pened to leave violin to assume
duties upon the harp somebody lm-
mediately believes that GRANDPA
theirs violin is treasure. As a
matter of fact, ninety-nine times
out of hundred grandfather in
vested in a ten dollar fiddle and
played "Suwanee River" and can
ME Laurie"
When he bought it the violin was
worth $40, but since then it has
been dcprcciating in value at the
rate of about ~ cents year. From
the mere fact that most of the var
nish, is scratched off and there are
several cracks in the instrument it
does not follow that it is an cold
one"
If a violin is good to start with
it will improve with age and good
care; but, on the other hand, poor
fiddle is not benefited to any extent
if it survives century or two.
Don't judge violin by the label
inside of it, says an expert. Any
body can copy an old name and
date and paste them in. If all the
violins bearing a StradivariuS label
were his, poor old Antonius would
be- working yet at the somewhat
advanced age of more than 200
years. More than half of the cheap,
worthless violins bear copies Of his
or some other masters label, and
even some real old and good instru-
ments have been passed off as the
work of Amati, Guarneri, Maginl
and other famous makers.
Any one having violin with the
label of comparatively unknown
maker is likely to be the owner of
more valuable instrument than
the person whose fiddle is marked
"Antonius StradivariuS"
There is only one way to find out
whether or not a violin is living up
to its name, and that is to get the
Judgment of Il good dealer. If ne
tells YOU that your violin is no good,
hut still offers to buy it, you may
ne quite certain that you have
good fiddle. But don't sell it. Take
it to some other authority and see
what he says, but don't make a bar
gain. You will hear from HIM If
your violin is genuine, for the sup
ply of valuable ones is small, and
great rivalry exists among dealers
to secure masterpieces.
a great many people have the
idea that all the very good instru-
ments are the output of ii half doz-
en- old geniuses when the truth is
that there are scores of old as well
as modern makers whose works
bring high prices.-Exchange.
