Aug IA new aspect has come over
the baseball prospects in Davenport,
and this morning a contract was con-
summated by which the franchise of
the Minneapolis team in the Western
association becomes the property of
the Davenport club. The Davenport
association met last night for the pur-
pose of disbanding, and had even pro-
yided for paying off the men when the
ditpatch was received. The two clubs
will be consolidated and take the place
of the Minneapolis club, the players
of the Davenport nine to be retained.
According to Marshal Brennan's re-
port the Rock Island police made 81

Marshal Brennan has decided not to
do things by halves, but to order new
regulation clubs and cords for his
force at once. Having good men at
his disposal at last he proposes to
take sufficient pride in them, to have
the force one of the best equipped as
well as most efficient the city has
ever known.

But the effects of the berg upon the

there are three characteristic cur

comparatively warm water lying
along the steamship tracks OF the
North Atlantic.
In the first place, directly under the
vast ice mass there is a great cur
rent of cooled salt water, which sinks
by its own gravity, because the cold
increases its relative density.
In the next place the suction pro-
duced by the sinking cold water
draws in from all sides warmer sur
face currents, which eat into the
sides of the berg by their melting &C
ton, and finally so much reduce the
size of the berg beneath the surface,
or so change its shape, and its center
