SIGNIFICANCE OF
STRECKFUS MOVE
Fear of River War Believed to be the
Cause Of Withdrawal Of Certain
Service.

BURLINGTON, Nov. When the
Streckfus steamboat line announced
it's intention Of opening winter
schedule from st. Louis to New Or
leans and actually inaugurating that
scheme with several round trips by
the handsome passenger steamer
Quincy, it was matter of congratula-
ton UP and down the river, for 1t ap-
peared to indicate great revival OF
Mississippi through steamer traffic.
The feeling of qualification was short
lived, however. The announcement
has just been made that the Streckfus
line will abandon the policy of max.
ing a st. Louis-New Orleans winter
service. The steamer Quincy, it is
stated, will be taken out OF the south.
ern territory and the Streckfus com
pany will confine itself to the upper
river from now on.
There is much speculation as to
the reason for this abandonment OF
the southern river traffic by the
Streckfus company. There Is evidence
that the new service paid well on the
investment But it is believed the
Streckfus company has found that il
will be better for it to confine its &C
tivities to the northern river of the
through service OF which 1t now has
the monopoly
A week ago the announcement was
made that the Lee line OF steamers
heretofore serving the traffic south
| of st. Louis, had taken offense at the
Streckfus invasion of the southern
river, and it announced that during
the coming summer it would put Z
line Of boats to take part of the north
ern river traffic. It is thought thai
this threat was the chief incentive II
causing the Strerkfus company tc
withdraw from the southern trade.
There lie one thing clear. A system
Of competition for the upper river
trade by two antagonistic steamboat
lines would lead to financial disaster

BANK DENIES
INJUNCTION
VIII Not Restrain Board Of supervis-
ors From Taking Preliminary
Steps in the Drainage
Matter.
ATTORNEYS ARGUMENTS
Three Points Were Raised by Peti
TONERS, One Of Which Questions
Illegally Of Proposed
Plan.

In the district court at Fort Madi-
son late yesterday afternoon, Judge
Henry Bank denied the application
for an Injunction asked by Green Bay
township farmers to restrain the
board of supervisors OF Lee County
from considering the petition for the
establishment of a drainage district
which was filed by the Mississippi
River Power Company.
The Green Bay farmers sought to
enioin the board from conducting an
investigation into the proposed pro
ject as asked by the Water Power
company, which included the appoint
ment of an engineer to make the
necessary surveys in order that the
feasibility of the plan could be ascer
tanned.

IS
RAPIDLY SPREADING
New Root Juice Medicine Ap-
parently Creating the Same
Interest and Enthusiasm
Here That it Has in
Davenport.

II one can judge by the crowds that
are almost continuously swarming the
Wilkinson & Co., store to investigate
and purchase supply of the new
Root Juice medicine, which has Gre
ated sensation in Davenport and
which is now being demonstrated
here, this city is fast becoming as en-
thusiastic over it as Davenport and
all the other places in which it has
been introduced
So many reports of the most aston
fishing cures effected by Root Juice
have been published and SO much has
been said of the excitement the medi-
cine has created in other cities 1t is
i not strange that local sufferers from
chronic stomach trouble, kidney and
| bowel disorders and other similar all
| ment for which it is recommended,
should be anxious to follow the ex-
amples of those who claim to have
been almost miraculously cured by its
use.
At the drug store it is said that al
ready the sale of Root Juice has far
exceeded all expectations, and al
though there is still good stock on
hand some fear is entertained that
there will not be enough to supply
the constantly growing demand, for ii
is said that the main laboratories at
Fort Wayne. Ind, are working to
their fullest capacity and are still
far behind on their orders.
Davenport people still continue tc
report the most phenomenal cures
and the whole town is talking Root
Juice.
i Mrs. Kate Martin, living at SAG Ire
mont St, has just issued most in
teresting statement of the results OF
the treatment in her case. Il used one
. bottle OF the Root Juice Medicine ant
| can say 1t brought great and quicl
relief. Another member OF our fam

) cellent results. We think it has don,
, a wonderful lot Of good here
: Some good reports are being heard
) from those who were first to pur
: chase the medicine several days age
but there has not, of course. beel
enough time for any very pronounce
results to be shown here.

Three Lines of Argument.

Attorney Johnson argued along the
line that the proposed district was to
levee land and protect it from over
flow by the Water Power Company.
Joseph R. Frailey argued that the
law authorizing the establishment of
drainage district through two or
more counties was unconstitutional
because it permitted assessment OF
taxes made by board outside OF the
county in which it is situated.
Attorney Tracy declared that joint
districts could not be established in
Des Moines and Lee Counties be-
cause they were not contiguous. The
reason given for this waA that Skunk
river flowed between them.

MAN UNDER ARREST
TELLS THRILLING TALE
Story Of Aged Engineer Reads Like
Fiction When Told to the
Quincy Police.

QUlNCI, NOV. 7.-The Stofy VI
life of Temple Linson, the aged ioco-
motive engineer who is under arress
here. read like q page OF fictlon'
when he told 1t to Chief Lott yester'
! day morning. Saturday afternoon ne
made the startling statement that ne
had killed a man that had wronged
his sister, but would not give any de-
tails.
Yesterday morning he told his sto-
ry. 1t ran like this: A wealthy young
man named Frank Reynolds, son
of mine owner in West Virginia
ruined Linson's sister under promise
of marriage; Reynolds failed to keep
his promise and the young woman
killed herself; Linson then swore re-
venge and started to hunt Reynolds
down and followed him through this
country, across the ocean, through
Europe, West Indies, and South
America, covering a period OF hye
years. Finally he ran across Reynolds
in Stockton, Calf, where he shot ana
killed him and was arrested on
charge of murder, remaining in jail
for five years before finally being ac-
quilted after five trials.
Caused Breakdown In Health.
These things and the long confine-
ment have been on his mind since, ne
says. and has finally brought about
breakdown in his mind and body Al
ter acquittal, he said, he started back
to his home in Missouri, but only got
as far as Osawatomie, Kan, where he
was adjudged insane and was commit
ted to the hospital for the insane
there. He was there for four months
when he was released as being cured
He afterwards followed his vocation
as a locomotive engineer until a few
years ago, when he went into the
southwest and worked as an engineer
for beet sugar factories. Several
months ago he started to visit rela-
tives in Missouri and only reached as
far as Salt Lake City, Utah, when he
suffered an attack of pneumonia and
was in the hospital there for some
time.
Whether there was any truth to his
story or not the officers were unable
to find out, but it could be seen that
his mental condition was weak. When
ne was taken into court YESTERDAY
morning he was fined 81 and costs on
charge of intoxication although he
denied being drunk. The fine and
costs were suspended, however, on
account of his mental condition and
Transportation was secured for him to
Knox City, Mo-, where he has rela-
tives.
