WAITIW .—Higgins AND WUIIACP, who
wer» arrested on i liarge of having waylaid
and robbed James Cartwright, in the streets
of our city on Sunday night, are in jail,
awaiting the nioveinentof the police. Their
trial will probably come to-morrow morning,
TUE T)KAFT.—Major Duncan, Provost
Marshal General of Iowa, has received in
structions from Washington to comiuencc
the work of correcting the enrollment lists
of this Slate, which he will proceed to do
as soon as the proper preliminaries are ar
ranged.
Mircii NEEDED.—It is with much satisfac
tion that we notice the fact that the old di
ladidated side walks 011 Front street between
Mailt and lirady streets, is being brought to
grade and the rickety planks are to lie cluuig
cd for new and substantial ones. There
are many places in the city that need replac
ing in the same way.
I'BUSONAI,.—J. S. McL'une, President of
the St. Louis and Keokuk Packet Co., Ben.
Stickney, proprietor of the Planters' House,
and Messrs. A. Wilgus and J. Mctionnigal
all of St. IAHMS, are on a visit, or fishing
excursion to our city, and are stopping at
the Hurt is House. A pleasant time to you,
gentlemen.
IT don't make any difference who is the
next inan or where he does business, the
fact of the matter is, the best place to get
your clothing for summer is at Sam Perry's.
He has the largest stock—the best stock—
nclls cheaper, manufactures better than
any other merchant tailor in Iowa% Store
op|tosite the Post office.
LOOK on FOK FI X.—IF Neil & Gardiner's
Minstrels open at Metrojwlitan Hall to-night
with uu array ofKthiopcantalent that is un
surpassed in the country. They have the
best banjo, best "liones," the best singers,
und '•mifossedly the liest dancers that aro
now travelling. Everybody that wants a
hearty laugh should attend. It will do you
good.
CttownFD.—The stock shipping business
on the M. &. M. road is taxing the facilities
of the company to the utmost. Every day
a long train of cars come in from the west,
and at this time over thirty car loads are
awaiting shipment at Grinuell.
The passenger business, also, continues
to increase—all the coaches being kept in
motion.
TITE AUTSAt..—The work of carrying up
the walls of the Government Arsenal on
the Island, progresses slowly. The late
prevailing high winds, preventing the con
tractor front floating stone down from the
quarries at LeClaire, taken in connection
with the scarcity of help keeps the work
back. Two or three courses only of mason
ry have been laid. It is thought, however,
that the walls will be carried up and the
building enclosed liefore next winter.
.SCOTT Couvrr.—The action of the Board
of Supervisors of Scott county, in coming
promptly up to the mark and voting a sum
sufficient to pay a bounty of $50 to each
man who enlists in the service of his coun
try for the term of one hundred days, is
just what is required in this emergency.—
Men will not enlist without bounties. Why
they will not is not pertinent. In order to
raise the quote of the county is this liand
somc appropriation made, and now, withia
ten days, we expect to see our county's
quota filled to the briin, whatever that num
ber may be. We understand that recruit
ing has received great impetus skw* the
action of the Board.

WtnsEsoAV, May 11.
Pursuant to rail the members of the
Board of Supervisors of Scott county met
at the Court House this morning, at 10
o'clock, for the purpose of considering the
matter of making an appropriation of funds
for the purpose of giving a bounty of
each to voluuU-ers enlisting under the call
of the Governor of Iowa, for tuen for one
hundred days' service.
PKKSENT—Messrs. Carpenter, Davie*. Far
ber, llctilev. Little, McConnell, Mead, Mur
ry, Koss, Thompson.
Mr. Father moved to adjourn until one
o'clock p. HI. Lost.
s
Mr. Davics called Mr. Henly to tlie chair,
and in an intorniid way stated the reasons
why this meeting of the Board was called,
the roa.-oiis why a bounty should be offered,
and why the necessary amount of money
should be raised by taxation, instead of by
private subscription. lie al.-o alluded to
the sufferings of soldiers' families in this
city and county, and urged that something
be done in their behalf.
Messrs. Clark and Wing came to and took
their seats.
Mr. Mead offered the following which was
adopted:
That a committee of five be ap­
pointed by the chair for the purjiose of tak
ing into consideration the subject of an ap
propriation by this Hoard to aid iu the en
listment of the one hundred days' men, and
to report at the afternoon session.
The chair appointed as such committee
Messrs. Mead, ltoss, Clark, Wing and Far
ber.
On inotif,n, adjourned until two o'clock,
p.m
AfTCBSOOX SKSSIOX.
Board all present, excepting Mr. Gates.
Mr. Mead, chairman of the select commit
tee, appointed at the morning session, pre
sented tlie following report:
J{(»i/ired, That an appropriation of $2"),
OUU, or so much thereof as may be needed,
be made by this Board for the purpose of
paying the qu:tu of Scott county, under
the late call of ontj hundred days' men, the
sum ol fifty dollars to be paid to each re
cruit, or their families, in equal monthly in
stallments, the lirst payment to be made at
tlie date of their mustering into the service
of the United States.
A to'.e listing been taken npoo thli isola
tion, it was adopted, t&4 after lomc debate
the f*l o«in( adll'.ioDtil resolution! were
tdoplcd
tttioletd, That the Predlent and Cletk

ooodin, eight per cent, per anr.nni, hn1 the
*ana its to be disposed t( at par.—Daily of
SSif 12.h.
On motion a committee was appointed by
the Chair, consisting of Messrs. Clark, Mead
and Boss, to wait
011
Adjutant General Ba­
ker, and ascertain, if possible, Scott Coun
ty's quota of the ten regiments of one htm-.
Ired days' men to be furnished under the
late call of Gov. Stone.
On motion adjourned.
The committee last above mentioned
waited upon lien. Baker last evening, and
ascertained that the quota of this county
would not be more than three hundred and
fift}- men.
I'nd.T the resolution appropriating the
money to pity the bonnties, a bounty can
only be paid to a sufficient number to fill
the quota, and no more. The expression of
the ISoard on this point was positive, and
the committee appointed to carry the reso
lution into effect will seo that only three
hundred and fifty men receive the bounty
offered.
Recruiting officers who get their men
mustered in into service first will make a
sure thing of getting the bounty. This
should be a strong incentive to strong exer
tions in recruiting.

Our neighbors across the river a few days
ago made a great ado over the promise of a
bounty of $2o to single men and $50 to men
with familes who should enlist for the one
hundred day service in Iowa. Runners were
sent into all parts of Rock Island county (0
drum up recruits to All Davenport's quota
and the false inducement of a bounty was
held out. Several simple-minded people
who always think more of money than pat
notisa, caught at the bounty paid and en
listed in Iowa. The sequel is that no boon*

operation. Superintendent Kimball lias
just returned from the Chicago Railroad
Convention, and from him we gain tlie fol
lowing particulars of tlie cliange:
The morning train arrives from Chicago
at 5.20 a. 111, minutes later than last
summer) *dop.* at this pla -e twenty-five min
utes for breakfast, aad arrives at Grinntll at
II.00 a. m.
The evening train from Chicago avrives
at fi.'M p. m.
The day train leaves Grinnell at 3.00 p.
m. and arrives at Davcnjiort at 8.15 p. m.,
(same as now) stops here thirty-five min
utes for supper, and leaves for Chicago at
8.50 p. m.
The morning train from Muscatine and
Iowa City arrives at Davenport at 8.00 a.
in., and connects with the morning train for
Chicago, which leaves Davenport at 8.20
a. m.
The accommodation train leaves Daven
port for Iowa City and Muscatine at 2.15
III. The accommodation train from Grin
nell and Washington arrives at Davenport
at 4.45 p. m.
Freiglit leaves for the West at 8.30 a.
NEW ARRANGEMENT.—New arrangements
have been made with regared to opening
and closing the draw of the railroad bridge
which will hardly give satisfaction to pre
destrians. The rule reads thus:
"Thedraw bridge will, in all cases, dur
ing navigation, be kept ojirn. Conductors
and Engineers w"«t tindestand this rule ful
ly. The draw will be cl««el for the pas
sage of trains, and opened immediately after
their passage."
Thia is reversing the order of things.—
Hitherto the draw has been opened for the
the passage of boats, and closed immediate
ly after, which gave the public ttti opportu
nity to pass over freely. Vnder the pres
ent rule there can be no passage on foot un
less you are at the draw when closed for the
passage of a train. It will also be closed on
Sunday all day, as no trains are running on
that day. This rule, we presume, is made
at the instance of the authorities on the Is
Jnnd to keep people from strolling about the
island as much as possible. There arv
plenty of other places to take a quiet Walk
besides going to the Island.

It will be remembered that the expenses
of the month of March were about $187,

seen that there has been a falling off of
about $72,000. Recruiting for three years'
service is pretty much suspended for the
present. We arc indebted to Mr. Frank
