DERIS Y : CONGRESSMAN PRINCgl.lS -r HERE FOR THE BANQUET Surprised to Learn of the Sudden Al; . teration in Plans for Entertain-., ; ment of Committee..,,,, Congressman George W. Princ ar rived in the city last evening from his home in Galesburg, in respon.se to an Invitation to attend a banquet that was to have been tendered at the Harper, house to the rivers and harbors com mittee of congress, and naturally was surprised to learn of the sudden change in the plans. Mr. Prince was disappointed as were the people gener ally of the turn of events with which they had nothing to do. and w.hich shortened the time it was anticipated, the congressmen would spend in Hock Island. The congressional party was taken up the Hennepin canal yesterday af ternoon to the second lock, not return ing until G. The steamers were in wait at the mouth of the canal, and the party boarded them there. Thom as K. Burton, the chairman of the com mittee, was impressed with the .great value of the river to shipping in the cities skirting its shores, and appreci ated the import of the general move ment of the business interests of thp Mississippi valley looking towards the securing of an adequate appropriation from congress for the permanent im provement of the river between. St. Paul and St. Louis. For 20 years there has not been a dollar asked by a congressman for the Mississippi between the points named.. The river has been neglected. All the congressmen in the party realized this as they passed down the big stream. They were surprised to know that dur? ing low stage of water the river is un navigable at certain points. This con dition should not be permitted to con tinue in a stream of the value to com merce as the Mississippi. AT THE HOTELS. At the Ilarner F. D. Laflin and sister. Missoula; 1). I.

ALECK GOES FOR THE RIDE Candidate for Tri-City Mayor Acts as Substitute for Friend. A constable called at the St. James hotel in Davenport this morning with a writ of attachment on the cigar stand to satisfy a small claim held by John Mafiin, a contractor, against S. M. Arndt, of Rock Island, owner of the stand. Mr. Mahin is a builder, and it appears had furnished some lumber to Mr. Arndt. The constable tried to take charge of the cash register, but refused to show his attachment papers, merely displaying his star. The clerk refused to give possession to the constable and the latter tele phoned the police. ' The patrol was backed up to the front entrance of the hotel. The clerk was informed that he was under arrest for resisting an officer. Mr. Heinz is the clerk. He had no assistant, and could not very well leave the business. Aleck Ander son, who expects to be the first mayor when the tri-cities consolidate, hap pened to be on hand during the trou ble. He and Mr. Heinz are intimate friends. Aleck jumped in the patrol wagon and told the officer to drive him to the city station as the substi tute of Mr. Heinz. Aleck had the ride, and furnished security for Mr. Heinz when th latter is wanted for trial. The people on the streets thought that Aleck had been jugged. But he simply smiled and answered them, "You can't lose." The bill over which all the storm has been occasioned is only a small one. but Mr. Arndt declares that he will not pay it. and has retained lawyers to fight Mahin. Big Tree on Exhibition.
