Interesting Historic Incidents Re-
called by Rock Islands Sew
entieth Anniversary.
FIGHT OVER RAILROAD BRIDGE
Davis, as Secretary of War, Opposed
Building of First Bridge Over Mis-
sssippi-LincoIn Was Attor-
ney for Railroad.

Chicago.--When the Rock Island
railroad celebrates, early in October,
the SEVENTEEN anniversary of the OPP
GRAFTON Of its first passenger train one
of the features having unusual his
toric interest will be the placing OF
q memorial tablet on the only remain
ing pier of the first railroad bridge to
span the Mississippi river.
Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Da-
Wis figured Importantly in this early
project, Lincoln as counsel for the rail-
road and Davis as secretary of war.
The bridge was bitterly opposed by
the river interests, who condemned 1t
as a menace to navigation, and went
so far as to attempt to burn it by set
ting fire to an ancient packet and per-
hitting it to float downstream and
lodge against one Of the piers.
Construction of this vital link, def
nitely hooking up the Atlantic sea-
board with the great West to which
the tide of emigration that was to
open new empire was already flow
ing, was practically completed when
Jefferson Davis, then secretary OF war;
instructed the United States district
attorney for the northern district OF
Illinois to obtain an injunction forbid
ding its use for the passage OF trains.
This action was defeated by the rail-
road, and then came the incident OF
the packet, one span of the structure
being destroyed.
LincoIn's Prophetic Words.
Owners of the packet sued the
bridge company, the railroad and sew
eral officers and stockholders as in
dividuals, alleging that the bridge
had so altered the river currents as to
cause the packet to drift back down
the stream. Lincoln defended the suit
in the United States Circuit court, and
the jury disagreed and was discharged.
In his argument to the jury the then
country lawyer made the prophetic
statement that more traffic would
cross the river on this bridge than
would ever pass beneath it" pro-
nouncement that was regarded as
more visionary than sound.
Then 'Long John" Wentworth,
Chicagos famous mayor and con-
gresham, pushed resolution through
congress directing the committee
on commerce, the predecessor of
the interstate commerce commits
sion, to investigate and report 'wheth-
er this structure constituted a serious
obstruction to the navigation of the
1t did, but recommended that the
controversy be left to the courts for
decision.
Then James Ward, st. Louis
steamboat owner, filed bill in the
United States District court, Southern
division of Iowa, In 1858, praying that
''the bridge be declared nuisance and

coIored Wool.
hold on the public in general 1t has
somewhere in its composition some of
the qualities which make a best seller,
and no progressive dressmaker or
manufacturer Is going to relinquish
such profitable garment until every
idea that it contains has been exploit
ed to the utmost. So for the autumn
these magnificent coats will be fol-
lowed by more practical ones of wool,
many of them knitted after the fash
ion of the old-time sWeater-coat
Rabbit Completes With Monkeys PeIt.
Several great dressmakers have
gone still further with this idea and
have made skirts to match these jack
cts, especially in the wool things.
Worth has model with the jacket
knitted in wool in plaid effect-gray,
white and black. The shawl collar on
the jacket and the cuffs and girdle
are of gray.
MolyneuX shows a knitted jacket
in white wool with pipings, buttons
and belt of red leather. With this may
be worn either q red or white wool
skirt. Another interesting jacket is
of black and rust-colored wool in chine
effect, with trimming of black cire
braid and a belt of black suede.
Among the most luxurious Of the
short coats are those of India CASH
mere trimmed with fur. Frequently
the fur is monkey skin. There is a
vogue for rabbit dyed to represent
squirrel, chinchilla and kolinsky on
short coats.
At the beginning of a new season
the seemingly small details of dress
play an important part. Vital ques-
lions, such as the silhouette, are not
definitely settled. So many ideas are
afioat as an aftermath of the French
openings that it Is unwise to choose
such an important thing as a suit or
dress without good deal of careful
consideration, so women depend on
those things known as the accessories
of dress to give newness to their cos
tunes.
Now one may freshen ones ward
robe by buying new collars and CIR
dies, or perhaps a few bits Of the cos
tune jewelry which is in fashions
limelight at the present time.
There are any number of new col
lars, both of lingerie and of ribbon,
which are made to fit the various
shaped necklines in favor. Many of
these are so unusual that a last sea-
sons dress or suit jacket may be
metamorphosed by the addition of one
of them.
White lingerie collars in plain and
frilled effects are particularly smart
when offset by black. Fine thread
embroidery done in black is often
used. A further touch of black is
sometimes added by bow of ribbon
or perhaps a long streamer.

Modern In His WAYS.

Little Dorothy was very fond of
Bible stories One day after her moth
err had read the story Of Lots wife,
she asked Mamma what did Mr. Lot
do when his wife was turned into a
pillar of salt?"
"What do you think he did," asked
f'her mamma.
"Why" replied the practical little
miss, II s'pose he went out and hunted
up a fresh one"

cape treatments and smart collar de-
velopments.
Fashion Note.

Not too much embroidery-this Is
the fancy of moment. A gown looks
Il little strange with only half dozen
bits of embroidered motifs upon it,
after the many months of deliberately
decorated girdles, bodices and panels.
The only ornamentation upon one din
ner dress of fawn chiffon was an en-
broidered dahlia in shades of red and
rose in the middle of the front panel
just above the henl Another dahlia
was posed high Oh the plain bodice,
near the left shoulder.
