May Build Big Dam. - There Is q
strong probability that the Greater
Davenport committee viii have some
thing of interest to announce within
the next few days concerning the long
cherished dream Of Davenporters-the
construction Of a water power dam
across the Mississippi river. For some
time the committee has been quietly
making inquiries IN Chicago and the
east in order to determine the best
possible method OF procedure. The re-
suit is that at a luncheon yesterday a
. special committee composed of Messrs.
4. s. johnson, A. +. Dawson, George
7. Baker and Secretary Clum, met with
the representatives Of eastern capital
lists and went over with them the gen
eral scheme OF constructing a dam
across the river The development of
water power from the Mississippi was
one of the first matters that was
brought 10 the attention OF Secretary
Cium when he reported here for duty
il months ago, and since that time the
committee has been working quietly
without any blare OF trumpets or beat
ing Of drums. The parties who are in
Davenport now have ample facilities
and experience to carry this work to a
successful conclusion. and they are not
seeking any financial support from
Davenport, Rock Island or Moline, al
though the construction OF the dam
will De OF equal benefit to each of the
three cities.

FOR A DIVORCE
REV. JOHN G. HOLLAND WANTS
SEPARATION FROM BLOOD
THIRSTY sPoUSE-SAYS SHE
THREATENED HIS LIFE WITH
KITCHEN KNIFE.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 20.-Claiming
that his wife is veritable Amazon for
cod-thirstiness, and that she has on
numerous occasions threatened the life
Of the complainant and his daughters,
with butcher knives and poison walls,
Rev. John D. Holland, a Methodist
minister of Benton county, today
filed suit for divorce in the chancery
court against Bette A. Holland.
The complainant states that the two
were married several years ago and
that although he has been a kind and
loving husband and treated his wife
well, she has made his life miserable.
He states that when they married he
was a widower with five children, the
three girls being all under fifteen years.
He says that his wife has deserted him
on five different occasions since the
marriage, the last and final desertion
occurring in Nashville In July of this
year. He states also that she is a
woman with a very high temper, and
has several times threatened to kill
both himself and his young daughters.
It is alleged that she once bought a
! bottle of poison for the direct purpose
of putting her husband and the chill
dren out of commission. Upon an
other occasion, he states that she
threatened all of their lives with a
butcher knife. On still another occa-
sion, 1t Is alleged that the woman
choked one of the younger girls almost
into insensibility. The complainant
therefore asks the court to rid him OF
this ferocious helpnlate.

her carfare one night when she called

The Balkan Princess.

Fresh from its remarkable New York
triumph, and with the hallmark of
London stamped indelibly upon it,
1.-The Balkan Princess will be seen at
the opera house on Monday, September
%. The production is under the per-
sonal management of Samuel E. Rork,
who has given US many musical treats
in the past. For a year before 1.-The
Balkan Princess" had been produced
in New York, much of its tuneful
music had been heard in public places.
The success of the piece in London,
where it was originally staged, soon
became noised about New York, with
the result that when it was finally
brought out in that city 1t was like an
old friend being welcomed home. As
to the book, the chief point is that it
has substance and poise as a romantic
story, aside from the comedy element
involved. The dramatic quality is par
ticularly in evidence in this Unusual
comedy, in that the second and third
acts end with situations" instead of
the conventional ensembles. The finish
is in the fashion of a straight senti-
mental comedy. Miss Julia Clifford,

A BIG PAY RoL

made and none contemplated, they de-
clared.
A BIG PAY ROLL.
The amount, $4,000, called for by
the Louisville & Nashville, was the
largest pay roll that company has had
on the local divisions for many months.
The usual pay roll on the two divisions
is between $4,000 and $4,000, but on
account Of the heavy business of last
month many men were employed and
the pay roll was swelled to $4,000.
1t was the intention of the men in
charge of the pay train to receive the
money at Flomaton Wednesday morn
ing and come south to Pensacola, pay
ing off the employees at all of the sta
tons south to this city. When the
dummy package was discovered, how
came through in a hurry. In the
meantime messages had been sent to
headquarters of the robbery.
When the train arrived in Pensacola
early Wednesday afternoon the army
OF employees in Pensacola crowded
about and waited to be paid off
Usually they receive their money as
soon as the car arrives. but this time
was an exception. No money was to
be paid out and the men began won
derfng. They were told that a bank
had failed to send some money from
Mobile and that it would arrive the
following morning ard they would be
paid off. This was true so far as
being paid oft the following morning
was concerned, for more money was
secured and the men paid. The pay
train then proceeded over the P. & A
division, returning 20 Pensacola last
night.
UP TO EXPRESS COMPANY.
Railroad officials declare that 1t is
up to the Southern Express Co. That
company received the money from the
First National Bank Tuesday after
noon and placed it in the safe in the
local Office for the night 1t was dur
ing that time or somewhere between
this city and Flomaton that the big
theft was pulled off by dummy pack
age being substituted
Express company officials expressed
the opinion last night that 1t would
not be long before they would have
the party as well as the money, but
from their actions last night they are
evidently awaiting some move on the
part of some one.
RUMORS OF A HOLD-UP.
Rumors of a train hold-up were cir.
| culated in Pensacola Thursday. The
report of the robbery had gotten out
| in Louisville, Birmingham and New
Orleans, evidently through reports tc
hi h officials at those points, and news.
papers of those cities sent numerous
wires to Pensacola to get the story
Local officials made emphatic denials
of any hold-up of trains on either Of
the local divisions. Passengers on in.
coming trains also said that nothing
had occurred on the trips to this city

SHORTAGE OF LABOR Is
BEING FELT IN TEXAS

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 20.-Never
before in the history of Texas, 1t Is
said today, has there been such q
shortage in labor as is evidenced in
certain lines just now. From all over
the cotton picking belt comes the de-
mand for pickers. Railroads are daily
finding more of their equipment tied
up owing to inability to have cars un-
loaded. At several points in Texas the
statement is made that sidings near
congresses are choked with loaded
cotton cars with no workers to dump
