RULES TO BE FOLLOWED In
PLANNING A YARD GIVEN

The city beautiful contest commit
tee of the Davenport Rotary club has
advanced three fundamental principles
of planting to be kept in mind in
planning yard. They are:
First-Ayoid straight lines.
Secondhand in masses.
Third-Leave open spaces.
In planting shrubbery. do not plant
in long straight lines. Make the
lines OF your planting irregular. a
long straight line looks stiff and
formal; an irregular line breaks the
monotony.
In planting shrubbery. plant the
shrubs of a kind together. In other
words. If you are planting number
of shrubs. some lilacs, some spirea or
bridal wreath and some honeysuckie
shrubs. as rule plant the shrubs or
a kind in eiump- number OF
lilac bushes in bloom together look

John Anthony, Resident Here
Since 1848, Is Summoned
by Death.
LIVED 66 YEARS IN HOME
Only Few Scattering Houses Here
and Place Was Known as Stephen

John Anthony, 6S years of age, a
lifelong resident of this city, passed
away at 9 O'Clock last evening at his
home, 1927 Sixth avenue. He had

try with his parents in 1S4S. crossing
the Atlantic in sailboat to New Or
leans. From there they proceeded up
the Mississippi to what was then
known as Stephenson, now Rock Is

wilderness, with few houses scatter
ed here and there.
To Town in Rowboat.
The family built home at what is
now Fourteenth street and Sixth ave
nue.. and Mr.. Anthony had lived in this
home for SO years. In the early days.
when the river was at high stage, he
used 20 row downtown in a boat, fol-
lowing a creek which wound its way
near where Fourteenth street is now.
Second avenue was merely a high
r!dge at that time. Mr.. Anthony had
seen the settlement of Stephenson in
corporated into the village of Rock Is
land and grow to the metropolitan
city it now is.
Mr.. Anthony was we'll known among
the early pioneers of the county. He
was a member of the Old Settlers as
sociatiOn and of Camp No. 1850, VI.

Argus of April 20, 1898, Tells of
Greeting Which Declaration of
War Received Here.

Sixteen years ago yesterday. April
20. 1898. congress passed a resolution
authorizing President Mckinley to use
the army and navy of the United
States in freeing the island of Cuba
from Spanish control. Had congress
acted upon the resolution asked by
President Wilson without INDUCING
IN political maneuvering the campaign
against the Huerta regime would have
begun on the anniversary OF the be-
ginning of the war with Spain. The
coincidence serves to recall the stir
ring times of '9S.
Sixteen years ago the people OF Rock
Island we're filled with patriotic ardor.
Spain had aroused our resentment as
a peopIe by a long series OF outrages
IN Cuba and the sinking of the Maine
brought matters TO a climax The
Spanish had a navy and en- army and
while they were not considered for
midable they were believed eble TO
give us some trouble.
Whistles Blew for Hour.
When news was received that war
measures had been authorized by con
gress there was much excitement IN
Rock Island. This is well described

People of the three cities gave
expression to their patriotic APP
proval of the presidents sanction
of the congressional resolution
evicting Spain from the island of
Cuba this morning in chorus of
whistles that lasted for fully an
hour The first announcement of
the final official act on the part of
the government came to The Ar
gus at 1920 central time, and
bulletin was Immediately posted
TO that effect and simultaneously
the flag was run TO the mast head
on The Argus building.
The Argus at once telephoned
the news to the city hall and
Mayor Medill forthwith ordered
that the waterworks whistle be
sounded. The Argus also COM
municated with the lower end fac
tory district with the same re-
suits In the meantime the Shrek
of locomotive whistles in the yards
along the river front had begun
and soon the chorus was ringing
from Davenport as well as Rock
Island. the high sounding shrieks
of one class rivaling the heavier
notes of the waterworks and Rock
Island Pillow works whistles. Flags
we're run up on the Harper and
other buildings. and even on the
