There ard many forgotten things in our history which it is the province of the historian to recall to mind. How many people, for instance, in this local ity recall the old town at Tippecanoe, and how few in fact have any idea that ;iich a town ever existed in Rock Is land county? Yet this town existed, and for a time flourished, just as did Rockingham on the Iowa side of the river down below Davenport. Like Rockingham, the old town of Tippe canoe was platted in the year !So5, and was located just west of what is now Rapids City in this county. Its loca tion was only a few miles above Moline. Three Mrecln. According to the plat, the town of Tippecanoe was laid out by David Jen nings. It had three streets, running parallel with each other, and named, respectively, Maine, Harrison and Wal nut streets. The name Harrison came from the hero of Tippecanoe, after -vhom the town was named. Four cross streets divided the town into blocks, and those were called Indiana, Ohio, Washington and Knight streets. Again Iocs the state which gave the country he famous hero of Tippecanoe, and an after president of the United States, ome in for recognition in the nomen clature of the street just mentioned. Main street was (0 feet in width, while 11 of the others were only 50 feet wide. The lots were all 10x150 feet in size, and there were 107 of them in the now forgotten town. 1-otn lnl Ilrn Sold. A large number of these lots had been sold and a few had been built' upon. Joseph Cox, father : ('. C :.;ul J. J. Cox of Moline, was one -i iii- pro prietors of the town, and S:;'-i:t.el Knight, who married a daughter of Mr. Cox was the other proprietor of the forgotten hamlet. Samuel Knight mar ried Katherine Cox, and was the father of James Knight, now living in New ton, Iowa. Upsides being one of the proprietors of the town of Tippecanoe, Joseph Cox was one of the first attorneys and coun-selors-at-law in this county. He had practiced law in Wayne county. Indi ana, as early as 1S23, and in 183$ he came to Rock Island county- and ob tained a license to practice law here after he had practiced without a H- onsc for some time. At that time Jo seph Conway was clerk of the circuit court here. A. L. Brashar, Living Near Milan, Own er of Cow That Gives Birth to Freak. A. Ij. Brashar a farmer living south cast of Milan, yesterday sold one of the greatest curiosities in the shape of a freak of nature that has ever been produced in this county. It is a calf, fully formed and alive and active, weighing but six pounds. It is believed to be the smallest bovine ever born The little animal, which stands but about a foot in height is being fed from a ten. cup. The purchaser will put the freak on view at so much a look. Significant Instances of Ne;d of Line Hospitality to Travelers at Edgington. Tbe Houlan Trnnnlator ' Dickrni. Irinarch Ivansrich redeusky was the son of a poor but intelligent village Iope or priest who tilled his glebe to feed and clothe his large family of daughters and this only son, to whom he still found time to impart the rudi ments of education. Irinarch was a sickly and lonesome boy, cut off from all playfellows by his ascetic though well meaning father, and he grew up to manhood in bitter poverty, having sometimes literally nowhere do lay his head. Yet. in spite of all obstacles, he lecame a distinguished scholar, a ver satile linguist and a leloved peda gogue in the military schools at St. Pe tersburg. He was growing in fame and favor with the authorities and had been called upon to undertake educational work of the highest importance when las blindness and premature death cut short his brave career. His transla tions of Dickeus, Thackeray. Fenimore Cooper, etc., are classical and laid the foundation of the wonderful popularity which their works still enjoy in Rus sia. Notes and (Queries. FISHES ARE SENSITIVE. And Vt, Apparently. Tliry Arc Xot (apalilc vi f SnffcritiK l'ain. All bsnes have nerves, and m some respects fishes are extremely sensitive. A fish that has buried itself in sand or mud so completely that only the tip of Its tail fin Is above th j l;jttj::i will feel even the slightest t inch and instantly dart out of its randy bed. A lisli is very sensitive to movements in the wa ter surrounding it. A shadow falling upon the water will startle a fish into flight But, sensitive as fishes are in some respects, it is probable that they do not suffer pain from injuries re ceived. Fishes are extremely sensitive at the nose. A fish that had in pursuit of prey run it.i nose against a'Vock might fdiake its head violently.1 1 'poYhaps in pain, but fishes sustain serious injuries from actual wounds without showing any indication of pain. In fact, the indications tend to show that they do not suffer. A fish that has leen hooked by an angler, but has escaped, perhaps carry ing off a hook hi Its mouth, may a few minutes afterward bite again at an other hook. Such instances are not In frequent. In such cases the hook would probably be concealed by the bait and the fish would not be likely to see It, but the fact that it is ready to take the bait shows that it Is continuing to feed, which it would scarcely be likely to do if It were suffering great pain. A shark from whose body nil the vis cera had been removed has continued to feed. Sensitive as fishes are about the nose, many of them use the nose In pushing stones and gravel alout In building a nest for the female to spawn In. The salmon notoriously often wears its snout down to the bone in excavating a cavltyfor a nest, and often It wears off Its tail to a mere stub In brushing out stopes and gravel. Yet such fishes frequently recover from their injuries and return to the ocean. Timid and sensitive as fishes are in some respects, they fight one another rigorously. In such fights they may re ceive injuries that might le described as terrible. To these injuries they may pay so little attention that after the fight is over they go on with their feed ing or with whatever occupation they had been engaged in. Injuries which would throw a human being Into a state of helplessness do not interrupt the current of fish life. The fish may afterward die from its inju ries, but apparently it does not suffer pain from them. . . ' Fishes sometimes survive injuries of a remarkable character. The stomach of a captured codfish was found to be pierced by a spine of a flounder which it bad swallowed. Theharp-.lhflruUkp Without Counting;. Archbishop Temple was noted for i is mathematical ability. A peculiar ity of bis iover, not in computation or analysis, but in the ability to see a definite number of objects without ac tually counting them in the ordinary sense, is mentioned in Mr. Sandfords memoirs of the archbishop. Everybody sees three objects, not as one and one and one, but as three. Most people can see four; some see five and even six. Many of those who think they simply see six would discover if they observed the process carefully that they really make a quick count. I5ut Dr. Temple certainly saw higher numbers. I tested him quite suddenly more then once. "How many sheep in that field?" Instantly came the answer, "Nine." Once he saw thirteen. I think these were birds flying in a group. It was the same process with him to see nine or ten volumes in a bookshelf as It was with nie to see even live. Given time, without counting, he saw larger numbers. Derivation of "AVliif Sunday. A perennial problem Is that about the etymology of Whit Sunday, and the supporters of Whitsunday could speak more confidently with their adversaries If they remembered that the Welsh call the anniversary "Sulgwyn," which means "White Sun." This title pre serves the Druidic tradition that the sun about this time turus white. Nc doubt the old British belief arose from the peculiar white glare of the sunlight reflected from the hawthorn blossoms, which must have been far more frnp pant when south Britain was one vast forest and a thorn fence formed the fortification of every village. The pa gan festival of the White Sun possibly developed into the "Whitsun Ales." Westminster Gazette. Galveston's Sea Wall Makes life now as safe in that city as on the higher uplands. K. W. Good loe, who resides on Dutton street, in Waco, Texas, needs no sea wall for safety. He writes: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption the past five years and It keeps me well and safe. Before that time I had a cough which for years had been grow ing worse.

That the proposed interurban from Rock Island tnrough the southern end of the county will receive the hearty and enthusiastic support of the farm ers in that section was evidenced by the manner in which they received the joint committee of the Rock Island club and Retail Merchant's association which made a tour over the proposed route in company with G. W. Mills, an eastern capitalist, yesterday. (irrat AfltantuKei Appurrnt, The residents fully realize the num erous advantages which an interurban Is bound to .bring and wherever a stop was made the committee and Mr. Mills were assured that every assistance ia their power, both financial and, other wise, would be accorded the new en terprise. The country is one of the best in this vicinity and is rich not only in agricultural resources but in potter's and fire clay, coal and sand stone, com modities which are practically untouch ed because of the great distance that must be traveled to reach railroad con nections. SlKnili'tnt InntauerM. An instance of what may be done with interurban connections is found in thy fact that Ah Olham, just below Andalusia, last year shipped 218 car loads of potter's clay to eastern potter ies. This clay is said to equal that found at East Liverpool, Ohio and the supply seems almost unlimited. The richness of the land, with proper trans portation facilities, would make the dairy and produce business a most pro fitable one. Will Stay Out All AVerk. Mr. Mills proposes to spend the rest of the week looking over the land and thus far feels enthusiastic over the out look, although he has yet to see what is probably the richest section to be touched by the proposed interurban. An incident which was of particular in terest to the party making the tour, was the fact that the keeper of the hotel at Edgington. which point was reached at noon, had gone to Rock Island to spend the day and for that reason the hotel was closed. Ir. Mlttor to the llmiw. Prospects for dinner would have been gloomy had not Dr. Alien Miller come to the rescue anil it needed no persuasion to induce his estimable wife to take in the party and that the hos pitality was appreciated is putting it mildly. ay Lrd oiDHQd ALWAYS RESTORES COLOR AND BEAUTY OF YOUTH TO GRAY HAIR, no matter how Ion? it has been GRAY or WHITE, it soothes and heals scalp, stops itching and promotes a fine, luxuriant growth Of hair.
