Little Opposition to Sunday Closing.
The minor difficulties which were be-
lieved to be the result of the adher-
ence to the Sunday closing law of the
BARRIERS of the city were satisfactorily
set at rest Thursday evening when a
mass meeting of the BARRIERS was held
at Owl hall. National Organizer ]. G.
Shanessy of st. Louis was present and
spoke to the journeymen and bosses of
their relations and animosites which
may arise through the carelessness of
either. Strict harmony prevailed at
the meeting, the single discord being
in an individual boss standing out
against the Sunday closing. This OBJ
stacle, it is believed, will be quickly
effaced when the time for the COM
mencement of the Sunday closing ar
rives. National Organizer Shanessy
stated that the international union
would lend the necessary support to
the movement in Davenport. "St. Louis
shops have been closed on Sunday for
three years." he said. why should
not this city, and other cities Of this
size, do SOP"

FROM THE VALLEY CLARION.

Constable Ben Jacobs was at the
county seat one day last week. He
would not say whether he had been
called before the grand jury, but we
understand he has some important evil
den2e to offer in one of the big cases
that is being quizzed into. Ben is get
ting quite reputation beyond the CON
fines of his home town as one of the
shaIpest officers our county has ever
boasted. He says he knows the par
ties who robbed his barn last week,
but says he is going to spare them on
account of their families, all of whom
have always supported him when he is
a candidate for election.
Ez Smiths boy Joe, who takes the
New York Clipper. says there is war
on between the big fellows in the thea
ire business, and that the outlook for
a good season at the Valley opera
house is bright. It's about time. The
best we got last season was an Uncle
Tom" show with one bull dog and an
antiquated Eva, and East Lynne" by
a company that didn't take in enough
money to pay for a hack TO the next
stop.
Mayor Andrew Olson of Moline, who
has many friends in our midst, has
been getting, some more good adver-
Using. The Swedish Methodists, in
convention in his home city, offered up
prayers for him. That's better than
waiting until after he is dead.
While in the county seat last week
the editor enjoyed an hours ride on
the ferry between trains. We had a
visit with the master of the boat, Com
modore Henderson, but he did not have

much time TO devote to us, as he was
kept busy taking money that the folks
were handing him. He probably knows
more people than any other one man
in the county. He has great faith in
the future of the Mississippi From
where we are sitting it strikes us it
has certainly been good to him.
