Incorporation papers were filed
Saturday afternoon with the county
recorder bv the Ivv Wood & Sand
company, a corporation which is or
ga nixed by ('apt. C W. Schricker,
Henry 11. Korii and A. W. Hamann
and which proposes to deal in lumber.
cir;l wood, gravel, sand, build steam
boats and other river craft. The com
pany has a capital of $15,000. The in
corporators are also the board of
trustees, and the officers are as fol
lows: President. ('. W. Schricker;
vice president. A. W. Hamann; secre
tary and treasurer, Harry Korn. A
large island near Andalusia owned by
("apt. Schricker forms a part of the
holdings of the corporation and will
enter largely into the operations. It
is covered with a heavy growth of
timber, and has a saw mill now in op'
eration. It is the intention of the or
ganizers of the new corporation to
convert the timber on Ihis and ad
joining ilands to lumber to be used
in the construction of boats and to be
di.-posed of to local and foreign fac
tories.
One of the most pitiable .cases of
insanity that has come before the
commissioners in months was the case
of l'lith .Jthnson. who was brought
before them Saturday. The woman
was almost a raving maniac and it
took two oflicers to guard her while
the commissioners were taking the
necessary testimony to adjudge her
insane. It did not take long to do
this. One look at the poor creature
and a few moments listening to her
mad talk would convince the most
skeptical. She seemed to think that
she was endowed with supernatural
power and stated that she was in
league with the eternal one.
Saturday night at about 11:30
o'clock train No. 5. the Milwaukee
Southwest Limited, crashed into the
rear end of a freight train on the
main line in West Davenport, near the
Mueller saw mill, with damage
to both the passenger engine and to
the caboose and a number of freight
cars. No one was injured, with the
exception of a brnkeman on the
freight and a fireman on the passen
ger engine, who jumped and were
slightly bruised. The manner of the
accident is not known precise!-, it be
ing thought that a mistake in orders
being the cause. The passenger was
traveling at a moderate rate of speed
and tipon striking the freight sus
tained no damage save the smashing
of the electric headlight and the pilot.
The force of the collision, however,
was great enough to telescope the ca
boose and wreck the freight car im
mediately in front of it, which was
loaded with beer. The ca
boose caught fire from the stove
and was badly damaged by the flames
tefore assistance could be received
from the Central station and Hose
company No. 5.
At Friday evening's meeting of the
Davenport Academy of Sciences the
subject of sending a collection of
mound builders' relics to the world's
fair at St. Louis was discussed and
the matter left in the hands of a com
mittee. The Davenport academy pos
sesses the finest collection of mound
builders relics in the world and it
would attract much attention if dis
played at the exposition.
Judge Itollinger has ruled, that a
contract signed by an employe of a
railroad which stipulates that in case
the employe claims damages of the
road the claim shall le filed with the
company in 30 days or it cannot be
collected, is void and cannot be held
as a bar to a subsequent claim for
damages. The decision was made on
a point of law which came up in the
cne of DeRoy Mumford vs. the C, R.
I. & P. Kailway company, and is held
to be one of the most important rul
ings ever made in the district court.
Attorney Charles T. Cooper has re
ceived word from Denver to the effect
that H. W. Italian!, at one time pres
ident of the Tont ine investment com
pany, in which a large number of
Davenporters were relieved of their
good money, has been acquitted of
the criminal charge of forgery. Thi
charge was preferred against him by
Otto Kahler, the secretary of the
same company.
A bill was introduced into the state
senate Saturday at Des Moines by
Senator Hughes and in the house by
Representative Healer for the state to
appropriate $30,000 on condition that
the city of Davenport furnish a like
sum for the purchase of the Camp
McCIellan tract in this city, the same
to be used as a state park, in ease
the property may be seeured for the
sum of $100,000." When informed of
what had been done at Des Moines.
Charles S. Heed, president of the
Camp McCIellan company, stated that
the representatives at Des Moines
must be crazy to even dream that the
Camp McCIellan property could be
purchased for $100,000. Mr. Reed
stated that the property had already
been mortgaged for $200,001), and said
that if the state of Iowa wanted the
property for $750,000 it could have it
at that figure, but not for a cent less.

The Davenport Negro Itusiness
league has announced that the work
on the building of its hall will com
mence this year. A lot has been pur
chased on Oaines street, between
Ninth and Tenth streets, and it is the
intention of the league to erect there
a three-story building to cost in the
neighborhood of $4,00(1. The first two
floors will be occupied by flats, and
the third story will be used for a hall
in which the colored Masons and Odd
Fellows will meet.

Ko Place For Icemen.
"I had letters to a prominent official
in Porto nico," said a New York manu
facturer of artificial ice plants, "and I
went down to that island, thinking I
had a sure grip on a big thing. I made
an appointment by letter and on a cer
tain day and hour was ushered into his
office, and we had no . sooner shaken
hands than he turned to the attendant
and said:
" 'Jose, bring the gentleman a fresh
glass of lemonade and see that it Is
good and hot
"It was hot enough to melt a dog,
and I felt rivers of perspiration run
ning down my back, and when that
boiling hot lemonade was brought in I
knew that I was dished. So it turned
out. I might have sold red peppers
or horseradish, but as for ice they
didn't want any in theirs."
Animate Enjoy Racing:.
Uttle pigs are great at combined
play, which generally takes the form
of races. Emulation seems to form
part of their amusement, for their races
seem always to have the winning of
first place for their object and are quite
different from those combined rushes
for food or causeless stampedes In
which littla pigs are wont to Indulge.
Racing is an amusement natural to
some animals and. being soon taught
by others, becomes one of their most
exciting pastimes. London Tit-Bits.
SCOTT'S EMULSION
makes pale,. thin children fat
and chubby. Overcomes
wasting tendencies and brings
back rosy cheeks and bright
eyes.
It's surprising how quickly
children respond to Scott's
Emulsion. It contains just
the element of nourishment
their little bodies need. They
thrive on it.
Even a few drops in the
baby's bottle have a notice
able effect for good. Nothing
better than Scott's Emulsion
for growing children.

MOLINE MENTION
Charles L. Morgan, D. D., has re
ceived a call which has been accept
ed to the First Congregational church
of K'gin in this state. Dr. Morgan
was for 10 years the pastor of the
First Congregational church of thi.
eity. and his leaving here was regret
ted by all the church and by a host of
friends in the city. He has been at
Jamaica Plains, near Hostcn. the past
10 years, and lias had a most success
ful pastorate. In addition to his pas
toral work he has ha 1 a large part in
the reform movements in Boston and
the state of Massachusetts. He has
done a large amount of literary work,
writing one serial story beside his
newspaper and magazine work.
Plambeck A P.erglund, the well
known hardware firm in this city, has
been dissolved. Mr. Herglund w ill still
continue the business,'" and Mr. Plam
beck will have no interest with the
exception of the real estate and build
ings. Mr. Plambeck has been in the
business for many years, and has
earned a much needed rest from busi
ness cares. He has not decided his
plans for the future.
Charles K. May is the editor, pub
lisher and proprietor, or as he says
he is "it" in a little paper published at
Dubuque. It is a side pocket paper,
but is as lively as a cricket and as full
of bright things as the pages will hold.
It is called "Hatchings," and the edi
tor says it will be published "without
charge and sent to the subscribers as
long as the publisher's finances hold
out."
The last week was undoubtedly a
record-breaker in the police court.
There was no arrest of any kind
made. The vagrants have all disap
peared, and no one gets drunk in Mo
line any more, consequently the police
officers walk their beats without find
ing many offenders.
Col. 13. F. Marsh, congressman,
writes that the proposition for the
lock and harbor in this city is in the
very best possible shape, and he be
lieves it will go through on the first
train that carries such a kindred
freight. He is doubtful about being
at the Swedish-republican banquet, as
at that time the appropriation com
mittee will be at work on the sundry
civil service bill, which is of great im
portance to this section, and his work
there as a mcmlier of the committee
is needed by the arsenal and kindred
interests.

Pupils of the grade school are giv
ing Supt. Smith emphatic indorsement
of his plan of establishing a savings
bank system in the school. So suc
cessful has been the inauguration of
the system that pressure is" being
brought to bear on Mr. Smith to ex
tend the savings bank to the high
school. It has been his idea to estab
lish his plan in the high school as the
pupils advanced from the grades, in
this manner merely encouraging the
continuance of habits of economy as
the pupils grow older. He has not yet
decided as to what course he will fol
low toward immediate start ' in the
high school. A total of $500.50 has
been deposited by the pupils in the
four weeks that the plan has been in
effect. This is held in trust by the
Moline Trust and Savings bank, and
children are at liberty to draw on
their accounts as they desire.
