The visit of Gen. D. W. Flagler, chief
of ordnance.to the tri-cltiee last month la
well remi mbered, cf course, and also the
fact that the Business Men's association
of Davenport adopted and transmitted to
Gen. Flagltr a series of highly compli
mentary resolutions touching himself and
Rock Island arsenal. Test 3rd ay Secre
tary H. T. Denison of the Business Men's
association received to following letter:
Ordnance Offlee, War Department.
Wasbineton. D. C, Nov. 9. 1891. Mr.
Henty T. Denison, secretary of the Dav
enport Business Mm's association, Dav
tvport, Iowa. Sir: I thank you for
jour kindness in sending me a copy of
the resolutions adopted by vour associa
tion on the 87 h. ult. The resolutions
are, 1 fear. 3 at ring, yet I am touched
by, and fcpfitcia.e, and am gratrful for
tbe treat kiudntsi and confidence ex
pressed in them.
It is needless for me to say that I have
not, and shall never, lose my Interest In,
and faith in tbe nectsoity for, the work at
the Rock Island arenal; nor my affection
for the place and its neighboring cities
acd people
In answtr to one of the resolutions 1
would state that it is not practicable to
accomplish at once all that thainiere ts
of the service aud county require, both in
the cnmtiletion and utilization of ibe
arsenal, but it will not be neglected.
It should not, however, be forgotten
that the arsenal, as it is construced, is
d signed to meet an imperative want
wtiicb was develop, d in our last ar,
under our peculiar military system. It
ii especially intended for arming and
equipping our volunteer armies as fast as
they can be raised. Hence its extraor
dinary magnitude. It cannot, therefore,
be more than pr'illy ntilizr.rl and r,. r
atioss of the great magnitude for which
it is intended will not be called for except
in time of, or in preparation for war.
Will you please express to the associa
tion my thanks for, and appreciation f
their resolutions and of the association's
kindness to me during my very pleasant
visit to Davenport. Respectfully.
D. W. Flagler.
Brig. Gen. Chief of Ordnance.

George M. Looolev,, the crockery and
china ware merchant, has furnished the
people of Rock Island acd of the three
cities an example of what originality of
thought and put lic spirit will do today.
Having announced that he would have at
his slcre a gtand opsning, and intimated
that he would endeavor to make the evect
a novel and entertaining one, people have
been thronging his store all day and all
have found their anticipations fully met?
In addition to having his stock dis
played to the best poss.ble advantage,
with long rows of tables on which
were arranged plates, fruit saucers
backed by 5 o'clock tea and
water sets on the one side, acd a
beautiful assortment of miscellaneous
articles of use and ornament, tea cups
and saucers. Burmese glassware, sugars
and creams, on the other, Mr. Loosley
had his store darkened, ard the glitter
caused by the reflection of the lights ev
erywhere produced a most exquisite ef
fect. Tbe art room was, ts usual, a
source of much interest, and many ex
pressions of appreciation of it and the
excellent taste shown in M arrangement,
were heard.
Rosette, the harpist, has been present
furnishing delightful music all day. The
opening continues tomorrow.

John Schafer, formerly proprietor of
the Shafer house saloon on Marktt
square, snd his supposed wife have sepa
rated. They lisve been lining together
in the full eni ijment of all marital rela
tions fT a nnrcb?r of yea:s. but without
ministerial or other legal sanction, and a
bright little boy ha9 been born to them.
At last, however, tbey have screed to
disagree, and htve parted company by
mutual consent. Botb have signed a
document to tbat effect drawn up by an
attorney, Mr Shafer giving in hU former
companion f 1, 000 cash and a SO-foot lot
down town, and she also secures the

Many who know the couple will be as
miici. surprised at their separation as
they will be at knowing that they were
never married.
