ed islands in the world, and its
history has been exceedingly TO

DOugherty Is Mayor - While a
Gordon of heavily armed police Of
f1cers waited to quell the first indi-
cation of an anticipated Socialist
demonstration, Lee ]. Dougherty,
popular manager of the Guaranty
Life Insurance company, was elect
ed mayor of Davenport by the city
council Wednesday night. The
council chamber was packed to ca
pacity, many of the spectators find
ing seats on the window stills and
standing about the walls. Scat
tered through the crowd, concealed
in the general press, were half a
dozen detectives. Outside the door
of the council chamber stood an
other armed officer. On the stair
landing below was another. and on
the first floor, just outside the door
of the police station, stood a third.
Thus the word of a demonstration
could have been relayed in an in
slant to the switchboard room,
where Night Captain of Police
Charles SchIueter was stationed. In
the squad room a dozen feet away,
80 armed officers were waiting the
word to go.
Would Float BOnd-With a view
to floating a bond issue within the
next two or three years to pay for
then all. Alderman George White
Wednesday presented to the city
council plan for merging the four
big projects which have been on
top more or less for the last four
years. These projects. all of which
are well known to Davenport peo-
pie who follow the civic affairs, are
the Duck Greek improvement, the
opening of Oak street, the extern
sion of Kirkwood boulevard. and
the Northwest, or Goose Hollow
boulevard
Death Rattle Quiet-The death
rattle of the Fourth street car line
came to the sleepy ears of Daven-
port at 11:52 o'clock last night
when the last trolley came rum
bling in. The arrangements for
the funeral were made yesterday
when General Manager J. G. Hun
toon gave notice that the line was
to run no more after last night.
The consultation of this extraTa-

WAS RED LETTER DAY.

March 20 was a red letter day for
the ordinary work-a-day Partisan.
Beginning then the cafes were per
mitted to remain open an hour lat
er in the evening, until 1890. Mu-
sic again was allowed and the pop
ular restaurants served national
dishes at prices reduced by 80 per-
cent in consequence of the action of
the food ministry which has placed
frozen meat and certain classes of
vegetables on the market at moder-
ate prices.

The Day In Davenport

CANT child's parents, the Tri-City
Railway company, and their physi-
clan, the city council, yesterday,
gave no hopes for Little Fourth
Street Lines recovery.
Deal Still Pending-The sale of
the west half of Turner hall, in
GLIDING the Grand Opera house, to
a local syndicate for a combination
movie and vaudeville house, now
depends on the sale of the eastern
half, including the Corner. Soon
after Charles Shick secured an OPP
ton on the entire building for
$3.50, 900, the theatrical company
secured an option from him for the
western half for 100000. They
have raised the entire amount and
are now anxious to close their end
of the deal.
Chance for CarniVaIs-Althoug
the ordinance before the city coun-
ell Wednesday night which provid-
ed a weekly license fee Of $3.50 for
carnivals or travelling street fairs
was decisively defeated, those
amusements may still show in Dav-
export for 500 a week. The ordi-
nance on the books of the city
which provides that such attrac-
tions may show in Davenport for
800 a week has never been re-
peaIed.
Schedule Changed-A two-hour
schedule went into effect yesterday
morning on the c. D. & NJ. rail-
way, interurban cars making trips
between Davenport and Muscatine
every two hours instead of every
hour and a half as heretofore.
Obituary RecOrd-The death of
Mrs. John Stuhr, former Davenport
resident, occurred at her home at
Everly. Iowa, April 81, and funeral
services were held April 80, inter
ment being made in Lone Tree
cemetery. Mrs. Stuhr was 65 years
of age.
