P. for more than twenty yeais, has abandoned tbe vocation. He quits not on account cf his years, but becuee of his avardnpoLs. Twenty ago be weighed 149 pounds and now he ean Balauoe 220. He has had several intimations in the past few years, he tells the Arous, that he is better fitted for running a hotel in Freeport which he has purchased, than for running a locomotive.

One night in the fall of 1881, his engine struck a cow between Port Byron and Cordova, and the entire train was ditched, bat fortunately no one was lr.jored. On another occasion he i an into the rear end of a freight train at Lanark Janction, which was lefu carelessly on the main track, when bis traia was due. It was snowiog heavily aud he Could see but a short dUtanca ahead. The caboote was knocke 1 into kindling wood. MCad" was severely injured about the bead, and was laid up for sev eral weeks.

One night at ikola, twelve miles east of Free port, he came within a hair's breadth of a terrible accident. He had orders to meet a freight train there, and had no more than stopped his Grain when lie e.tw the bead light of the freight engine flash in view. As it approached nearer and nearer with a rumble and tour he mistrusted se-thitg was wrong, and, reversing hie en gine, be started his on the back trsck. He acted none too soon. The freight train had broken in two, and the front section was coming on adoarn grade at the rate of thirty mi ca an hour.

The engineer and firemen had jumped, and the engine was running wild. He backed down tbe road soma twelve miles to Freeport, before he could signal any one to try to stop that wild train then tbe freight had slowed up enoogh to al low a man lo mount the engine and stop her. Cad well's presence of mind and coolness at that time prevented large destruction. He wants no more of these experiences. He has lost that agility and weight which enable an engineer to jump from danger when there is noth ing to be gained by remaining in dan ger, and he desires a business which never requires a man to leap for life providing he has a room on the ground floor.

taliet On look-M hat la togala- the Ttlepaeate World. "Why don't you Bay something about the effect of that Indiana decliaion on tppion stock stocks don't 70a know that there i a good number of men in Darrcport who are feeling blue about that matter?" said a pushing lawyer ma be whirled into the Dkuocmut office oat of the storm to day. "It was in the telegraph gaees they have all beard cf it and it wasn't local occurrence, anyway," replied the scribe whom be was addressing. "But apply it, apply it, 2Ir. Editor 1 It is a local matter, and a pretty important one, too, in dollars and cents, I can tell yoou There is more telephone stock owned in this city than in any other three citiea in Iowa or any other plaoe between Chicago and Omaha!" "There is! Well, then, nomerons people in Daren port are badly left that is one thing aare.n "Left! Well, yoa may think so not entirely though.

Joet a lit tip. I own three thousand dollars' worth myeelf that ir, that is the amount that I put Into it." "When did yoa go 'into telephone stock? This is local news, sure enough." "Three year ago, and 1 tell yon there are many more who are in it that nobody knows about bnt themeelvea. I could have sold out once, and doubled my money, bnt I held on who ted to treble it aid here I am." "What will yoa take for your stock now "I'll sell it for fifty cents on the dollar! I will, by Ueorge!" he continued, as he saw auov.er victim looking at him, warnmgly. "How high did telephone stock go, anyway "Don't yon know that in '83 it wai np 110 to 115 everybody here that Lud any money wauie.l aom of ii. when Harry Matlock and Oa Engle started the company here tho Western Telephuiio Ox, back ia '79.

they could got uoUody to take hold of it hardly. A wan in Cedar Kipida backed Eogle, and Matlock stood in with his own means. Tha thing got to booming in the thre cities, though, and for mouths thfj couldu't seear iu-truinerita foet euo igti. lhen in '81, I guepp, tLe Central Illinois Telephone Co. in I'ooria, the Midland in Indiana and Ohio, and the We-etera in Davenport consolidated uoder the uatuo cf Central Union and in V2 their stock became attractive.

What a demand there was for Weil, there might be as it l.ioked I hi u. That consolidated oonoern covered Ut beet parts of Oaio and Indiana, IVori-i and about all the other large tons iu Illinois except Chicago and Juliet, and Davenport, Dubuqut, Keoknk, Cedar Rspide, Ot-tumwa and Dee Moiuei tn Iowa! The stock went np aid np and I reached np and plucked tome from eff the spreading tree. It was told me as a special favor by a friend of mine. I was in luck I really was, my friend wss honest with me. A week after I bought I could bave sold at an advance of 25 per cent in six tnont bs I could have doubled my money, as 1 taid.

But I didn't. Mr. Engle stepped out iu '83 went in with hardly enjtLii-g of Lis own, and when old out it ia it i refit cf mere than for his backer and a competence tor him elf. Mr. Matlock went out well off, too.

In '4 there came a reet and and now there comes this Indiana decision "What are you grumbling for your stock is quoted at 60!" Yes, I know, but I want it to keep there. In all the west it is second only to the stock of the Chicago telephone company, which controls tLt city and Joliet. But you see the ttate legisla ture of Indiana fixed the maximum fig nre for the telephone rental at S3 per month, or 836 pr year; the companies refused to accept the appealed to the Supreme Court, which now de cides that a state legislature has the right to control telephone rentals by legislation same as it has the right to regulate the rates of common carriers. That is what knocks. Suppose the Iowa legislature, the Illinois legislatures.

ahnnld fix the rate fte the Indiana leeia- lature did!" This doesn't reach the Bell telephone company, I suppose?" No that's it. It can't. I with it could! The Bell telephone company i InaW "it i local companies twenty dol larlr firClnetrument ptr ye-r net, mind too. It bas got us, and there seems to be no power to loaeen its stifling grasp. Look at its stock quoted at 160 de spite the Pan-Electric company's doings, the government investigation and all that no, it doesn't effect the Bell folks." "Why don't the local oomganiee rebel strike, quit if the Bell company won't come down in rent?" "We can't if we do we will lose our franchises in the towns.

If it wasn't for that we might be able to do something with the Bell monopoly." "Well, I will tell the readers of the Dxmocbat net what you say," said the scribe -und the limb of the law do- parted. The scribe then went to see a capital Sat who is a big investor in telephone stock and found him good Db tared as could be. Didn't believe the Indiana decision would do a pariiale of harm, in (act be was baying up the stock of the weakened ones when be could get it in any quantities. The tele phone is as necessary as the telegraph. The business world can't do without it and the social world will bave it because of its convenience (or conversation.

Demand for phones is increasing everywhere right now here in these three cities, and the Iowa union (oiks, over the First National back yon der, are doing first-rate in their terri tory. Fatieuoe and perseverenee is needed by th mend who was in your pffioe. I bave secured telephone stock a D.wllDOrt. or of bette. organised or more efficient service, in all lines of truly Chtktiaa benevolence and nefalceas.

This is dearly evidenced by the thorough canvassing of the city by districts, un der competent and zealous leaders, of the "Ladse's Christian At boo" to that tbe deserving poor are reached and cared fur, in such a thorough and taking msLiier, that their most needs are very generally supplied. Then there '8 the Young Woman's Christian soma of the members of which, with the heroism of an Ida Lewis, dtre danger and storm to resjno the petifehirg. Again, the commendable and tcrneet work cf the Women's Christian Temperance Union is utserving-of special mention. And the last united movement, which has already resulted in active measures to etcure legislation for a reformatory prison for women in Iowa, and which we think roust receive the favorable consideration of the legislature, commands our admiration for the untiring zeal and devotion of the women of Davenport to every good work having for its object the welfare of the individual, and the good of the community. jgln view of all this, it would seem that the women of no city have less need of being told their duty, or being exhorted to grea'er tfficiency in tbe performance of it.

Yet, iu accord With what appears to a very general desire, it has been decided to hold a epeeial service for women only at the Calvary Baptist church on Hiirday Httoruoon at 3 o'clock.

Tit I'LKBH. Dj jon know that oar townsman, Lemael Parkhuret, is Iowa's pioneer legislRtiva clerk? He has that honor. Col. Warren, of Jackson coun'y, who was a member the territorial legislature when all Iowa as part of Michigan, again when lowd woo part of Wisconsin, and again when Iowa was a ter-ri'oEV by itself, brings it so notice. He say Pett-r Hill Eagle was the first speaker of tbe Wisconsin house, and Isaac Lef-tler was speaker the second eession.

Arthur B. Ingram was president of the eouueii ht its second and third sessions held r.t Burlington in 1837 and 1833. Of all who thns had eeats in the Wia-oonsiu legislature Hou. Lanug healer, of DeWitt, is believed to be the only ouo tow living. Both the Teases were phyeiciaiiB, lawyers and preachers, and were men of note ia their time.

Francis Springer, of Louiea county, a member of the council for several years, is also living. Ltunuel Purkbu.Bt, tbe first enrolling clerk of the housd, and reoorl-iug clerk of the couticii at its eecoid stion, is yet bviug at Davenport- He is a brother-in-law of Hon. Laurel Summers. Gen. Lewis waa not a menaberof tbe Michigan territorial legislature.

He might have been one of the number of peisons who were elected in 1835 to that body, but those of theto who took the trouble to go to where it was supposed to hold its session were unable to find it, and consequently they never acted as suah IcgiblaiDra. There is living, however, or was iu 1833, a person who represented in 1834, in the Michigan legis-is uro, the counties of Brown, Chippewa, Crawford, Iowa fad Michilimackl-noc. To the district thus constituted tiie territory west of the Mississippi, including ad of the present state of Iowa, and ra -st cf what ia now known as Min-nesot, and the territory of Dakota, was attached. I refer to Morgau Lewis Martin, of Green Bay, who waa iu the twenty -ninth congrees, a delegate in congra-a from the territory of Wisconsin It will not be out of place at this time to reproduce the names of those who represented what is now Iowa in the legislative of Wisconsin territory. Gen.

Warner Lewis, of Dubuque, is the last surviving member of the first territorial council, bat there are several members of the later councils yet living, among them Serranus Clinton Huttings, president of the council in 1845, afterward a representative ia congrees from this st-te, and its second chief justice.
