The -former's driver, however, saw fit to pull the naval equine to the outside of the track where the footing was dry but Gamin doggedly persisted in going straight ahead, while Molock did a hoopdedoodle part way up the back stretch but saw his folly and showed the trailing bunch that he was even gaited when the footing was not too watery. So fast did the Sears horse come down the home stretch that Gamin go that tired feeling within a few feet of the wire and did the walking beam act under the wire, In the second heat Gamin set a fast pace to the quarter but on the turn Johnnie Moloch failed to see the prodigality of the act and modestly but firmly stuck his nose in front and showed the crowd what a consistent horse race was. The quarter was reached in the half in 1:07 and the three-quarters in while down the home stretch swept the long- gaited Moloch, while his driver Johnson. scratching his think-tank with his right hand and driving with the left under the wire wire most skillfully in a jog.

He made the mile in with Gamin a half length behind. It cuaght the and they vocalized abandonedly 'until Ike Sears appeared and said "How 'dye," and then ducked.

Lindsay in Lumber 'Business--Later Becomes a Factor in Many Other Enterprises--History of a "Worthy and Public Spir-' ited Man. With a suddenness that almost dazed the public came the news of the death of John B. Phelps, when It was announced yesterday morning- But the day before he had been as busily engaged as ever with his business duties, indeed it had been a day of unusual activity for him. He had been seen in. many places and had conversed with friends than one usually meets in one day when on business missions.

There was no sign of deterioration in. his bearing, he seemed as rugged as at her yard and had their lumber sawed by contract by the -Ren-wick mill. Helps Build Pirst Gang Saw Mill. In 1SG6 Lindsay and Phelps built a small saw mill near what was called Stubbs Eddy. This mill contained a single circular saw, but in 18G7 a gang saw was also put In operation, being the first machine of the "kind Installed in the section.

Additions were gradually made to the plant by installing a band saw and making other Today will be one of the big- days of the year in Rock Island, and the citizens of Davenport are interested enough to hope that nothing may happen which will mar the success of the entertainment, which the city across the river has prepared for a proposed 20,000 visitors. Davenport will send its Quota to enjoy the event and the crowd from this side of the river would assuredly be larger were it not for the Mile Track races. Davenporters are compelled to choose between the two, and loyalty to their home city will cause many of them to pay a visit to the Mile Track. The event across the river which is expected to attract so many visitors is the third annual picnic of the Tenth Congressional Woodmen Picnic association. Preparations have been made by Rock Island to give the visitors the worth of their money, and there is little doubt that they will succeed, for while the picnic will really be under the auspices of the head officers of the Woodmen lodge, the city of Rock Island has consented to assist in the festivities, and the day will be something of a holiday across the river.

Excursions will be run Into the city on every train and steamboat line.

That such is true, there is no longer any doubt as a number of pearls of considerable value, some being worth $100, have been found in the river and on the shore at Clinton in the past few days where the government fleet is dumping sand in order to improve the channel.
