The celebration in LitchfieId Mon day of the golden wedding of Judge and Mrs. Morris W. Seymour was worthy of more than passing notice. That. is true not only because of the distinction of the family but also be- cause of an unusual record of golden weddings that it brings to light. It was the seventh golden wedding that has been celebrated in the Seymour family in Litchfield during the last 40 years. Furthermore. all these seven anniversaries were observed in five adjoining houses on South street in Litchfeld. Can any other family show such a record? The Seymour stock is

home Of John Oswald. who resided in
a two story frame structure owned by
Chris Kuehnle on Catherine street.
From the Oswald home the flames
spread to the Ben Scheer paint shop
directly across the way. The large
supply Of oils and paint in the shop
added fuel to the fire and the small
shed was soon a mass of ruins.
The intense heat from the burning
shed soon had the Scheer and Kuehnle
residences on fire and when the de-
partment arrived the fire had gained

GATHERED Nv c. A. FickE IN THE

PARTS OF WORLD.
PRICELESS COLLECTION
A GENEROUS PRESENT
oawsrpsrt Public Library Recipient Of
t1s velunes, Representing Fruits Of
q Quarter century's World Travel
Some Printed From Blocks Before
Type Invention.

Davenport May IA priceless col
volumes. many of them, hundreds of
years old and the editions practically
extinct by this tine, have been pre-
sented to the Davenport public library
by AIR, and Mrs. {. a. Ficke.
The official presentation Mas made
at Thursday afternoons meeting OF
the library board. II was gratefully
accepted with a vote of thanks to the
generous donors.
This collection of books represents
twenty five years of endeavor on the
part OF Mr.. Ficke during his world
travels. He bought them in London.
in Paris, in Naples. Mexico. Ceylon.
India, Japan, Egypt. China and count
less other cities and countries.
Mr.. Ficke has always been a great
lover of books. and they have been
but part of his vast collection of
curios, antiques and works of art.
A Costly Collection.
Altho Mr.. Ficke is too modest TO
even discuss the value of the collec-
ton he has presented to the library.
his friends say he has spent a small
fortune in it's compilation. In all his
, travels and these cover all quarters
| of the globe. Mr.. Fcke has been a
| patron of all the old book shops and
museums.
1t is known that many of the BOOKS
which Mr.. and Mrs. Ficke have pre-
scented TO the library are Very rare and
costly. Some of them. it is said.
could not be replaced for any amount
Of money because there are none on
the market. A duplicate Of one book
in the collection is understood to have
pbeen priced at $1,000 when Daven-
porter recently endeavored to secure
1t. Another one is said to have sold
for $1,000.
But the discussing of the value of
the collection is distasteful to Mr.
Ffcke and no reference would be made
to 1t at this time but for the reason
that the public should be given at
leass faint idea of Mr.. Ficke's gem
erosity and the magnitude of the gift
it has received from him.
Accompanying the gift of books are
ten fine cabinets, specially designed at
the instance of Mr.. Ficke, for their
proper care and preservation.
Printed FROM Blocks.
In this choice collection are books
printed from blocks before the in
