an excellent disposition and a chokebore

has a great head, almost yellow eyes.

the man who wants a faithful companion
In the field and does not care particu-
larry for range. speed or style he proves
up to the requirements. He can and
birds X there are any In a field, and
while he may be slow in doing so Il IN
almost a certainty that none will be
passed over.
Perhaps to the man who has been ae-
customed to killing the birds over high
class pointers settlers that griron
might not make a direct appeal, 70. the
new dog lacks the intensity and the
style when he finds game. and tina
part Of the sport Is always an impor-
tant one to the nan who loves dogs. In
hin we do not see that exhibition OF
suddenly arrested motion when he
strikes the scent OF birds that a high

Private profit should be taken out

In the midst of his remarks on ma

some disturbance by manifesting great
dissatisfaction with the representa-

by the representative met with the
full approval of all the rest of those

of the address, when applause was
deafening.

RIVER LOWERS AS
| ICE CORCES MOVE
All Danger Here is Believed Passed as
Water Recedes Over Two Feet
Since Yesterday.
CHANNEL OF STREAM is CLEAR
Flood Conditions in West End of Rock
Island are Being Relieved as
Sewers are Emptied.

With the Mississippi river lower and
the sewer pump at the foot of Fifth
avenue working continually, condl-
tons in the west end of Rock Island
were somewhat relieved and indica-
lions were that the water would
rapidly recede from now on.
The ice gorge below here which
caused the United States weather
bureau to issue warning to people
living on the lowlands that the river
would be at flood stage by Saturday,
broke late yesterday afternoon. This
caused the river to recede 2.9 feet, the
stage being lila feet this morning as
against 1877 feet yesterday.
The ice in the main channel of the
river opposite the business section of
the city started moving at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. There was flow
of ice from above this city and the
pressure of the two bodies caused the
gorge at Tenth street to break. The
Crescent bridge was not menaced as
the ice passed down the river. Today
the channel . is clear from point
several miles above this city for miles
below. This condition is taken to mean
| that the water will continue to recede
and all danger from ice is believed
| passed.
Some Water in Streets.
Where there was water in the
streets and yards yesterday there is
| ice, only thin sheet, however.
People living between Sixth and Sew
enth avenue and between Third and
Fourth streets are still troubled by
water in their cellars and yards and
the streets are covered.
The sewers are gradually carry
ing the water off, there being less de-
posted in the mains, and the sewer
pump at the foot of Fifth avenue is
making more Roadway.
