nryvvvYvvyrvvvvv Sickels, Preston Nutting Co. Three Men Caught la the Pickpocket Act and Arreated, A trio of professional thieves and pickpockets are in the jail here as the result ot a clever capture effected at the R. I. P. depot last evening.

The men gave the names of Frank It. Murray, Harry Hagarty and Charles Bradley. They spent Tuesday at the St. James, putting up a watch as security for their board, and redeemed the watch by paying their bill in the evening. Going directly to the Perry street depot, at about 10 o'clock, they mingled with the throng of people alighting from an incoming passenger train, and to Special Agents Nolan and Mc Laughlin of the railway company, who were on the platform, it soon became apparent that the three men were up to crooked work.

They followed them to the Perry street sidewalk, and as the men crowded in between Mrs. Dr. Keck and her husband and deftly ab stracted the lady's pocketbook from the folds of her dress, the detectives pounced upon them. The three men separated, but Nolan drew his revolver and shot Into the air, with the result that the man he had followed stopped and submitted to detention. McLaughlin and citizens soon cornered another, and the third, who had run west about half a block, was cellared by a colored man named Archie Brown.

The fellow showed fight and Brown was punching the daylights out of him when the oilicers came up and relieved him of that pleasant duty. Uetective Falk-ner from the depot and Oflieer, Mc-Manus from the station were on band about this time, and Officer McManus prevented one ot the rascals from escaping from the waiting room of the depot, whither he had been taken, by rapping him over the head with his his club as he attempted to get out of a window. The men were taken to the police station. At the beginning of the pursuit the three men threw away a number of stolen articles. One, a pocketbook containing 39 cents and a return ticket to Durant, was found, as was also Mrs.

Keek's pocketbook, containing between 37 and 8 in money. The men also hadin their possession a list of county fairs to be held in this section of the country this year, with those that they had visited checked off. A large collection of unpunchedhat checks.such as conductors use to designate passengers who have paid their fares on train, was another feature of their outfit, and that they had done Rock Island very thoroughly on Labor day was indicated by a collection of the various badges worn across the river Monday by committeemen, members of trades unions, etc. One of the men had a ticket of membership in the order of railway trainmen, but it was evident that the date of expiration of the ticket had been extended. That the men were criminals, professional and dangerous, was only too evident, but that they will regain their liberty soon is naraiy probable.

OBITUARY. CROMBIE. The death is announced of Mrs. Ade line C. Crombie, one of the early set tlers of this county.

Mrs. Crombie died very suddenly in Des Moines Sun day afternoon of apoplexy. She had apparently been in the best of health to the hour she was stricken. Iler husband, W. II.

Crombie, died in that city three years ago. Mrs. Crombie came to this county with her husband in the early 50's and the family settled on a farm in Lincoln township, The school-house near Summit, called Crombie, took its name from the settler. There Mr. and Mrs.

Crombie lived and farmed for a number of years. In 1870 they moved to Davenport, where they lived in a house they built on the the corner of Twelfth street and Tre- mont avenue. Thirteen years ago they removed to Des Moines. Mrs. Crombie leaves two children Frank II.

Crombie, a lumber merchant in Atlantic and Mrs. Etta V. Stearns of Des Moines. They will accompany the remains, with Mrs. Ada S.

Wilcoxon, daughter of Mrs. Stearns, and they will arrive in this city today at 1 :15. The interment will be in the family lot at Oakdale. A party of friends will meet the funeral party at the train and the remains will be taken direct to the cemetery, where a brief service will be held, Rev. Dr.

Little officiating. Mrs. Crombie was a native of Massachusetts and was a cousin of the late Reuben Cheney of Pleasant Valley. "If all the gold in mint or bank. All earthly things that men call wealth Were mine, with every titled rank, I'd give them all lor precious health." Thus in anguish wrote a lady teacher to a near friend, telling of pitiless headache, of smarting pain, of pain in back and loins, of dejection, weakness and nervous, feverish unrest.

The friend knew both cause and cure and flashed back the answer, "Take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription." The distressed teacher obeyed, was restored to perfect health, and her daily duties once more became a daily pleasure. For lady teachers, salesladies and others kept long standing, or broken down by exhausting work, the "Prescription" is a most potent restorative tonic, and a certain cure for all female weakness.

RIVER BULLETIN. inl IT IS OPEN AND READY FOR THE CROWDS. Som ot th Eshlblta that wrr AttriM--Ing otlc Ttrdj-Th KMulte of tb V-aer To poo meiit of the Et-Inc lUpl7 ob Aw Btorm. A couple of thousand people, per-hmuL attended the Davenport Fair and llspositiQ yesterday. During there-.

he several times as large, and It the fair association is not left with a good cn balance on its hands after the present exposition is over it will be luse the dear public has failed to appreciate a good thing. Monday at the jrrtmnds had been de Toted to preparations, and Tuesday found nearlj everything in shape, The crowd spread out among the various exhibits. There was something some-where to satisfy every taste, and the sightseers were variously attracted to the floral hall, the stock exhibit, the poultry show, the midway, the implement exhibit, while the races caught them all. In the floral hall they found exhibits by John Temple and Mrs. Krowe that were worthy of giving the hall its name.

The general exhibits are those by the artista with the brush and crayon and the experts with the needle. There is plenty to keep the admirer of good work in these lines happy for an hoar or two in the arti and needle work displays. In the private exhibits there is much that is worthy of praise. The exhibitors are J. H.

CY Petersen's Sons; Henry Techen tin harness; Jnngblut Toer- ring, scents furnishings; Davenport Soap Co-Schlitz Milwaukee J5eer. Janssen, wholesale dealer: Charles Hill, furniture; John Jloyt, pianos; Washburne-IIalligan Coffee I Lerch Co Jtoachelene and "Knox 'M, hug poison; Isaac Itothschiid, clothing and gents' furnishings; f. llichter, furs and sewing machines; Jarvis Whit Art I3randt C. II. Staunton and ti.

C. Ilaugh, photographers; Mor gan Match Safe and J. W. Wirtel, trunks. Among the noteworthy exhibits in the hall is that of 13 A AC ROTHSCHILD.

One of the richest of all the exhibits is that prepared by Mr. Abramson lor the popular clothier. Upon a background of delicate tints are artistically arranged a line of the finest imported coats, oyercoats, ulsters, and other articles of gentlemen's wear, while upon handsome figures there are displayed come very neat effects in children garments. Kilts direct from Scotland, everything else from the sources of supply where only the best is to be obtained, make up the display, which is embellished by some handsome clocks that Mr. Rothschild i presenting to his pttms pursuance of a plan that he will explain to all inquirers.

The display of agricultural implements is almost entirely in the hands of two enterprising Davenport houses. The largest display is that of JULIUS SANDER. In fact it is so large that it would make a creditable department by itself. Mr. Sander covers a lot of space with a handsome display of buggies of the latest patterns and improvements, made by the Kock Island JJujrgy company.

In showing what local factories are making, he also has the lied Jacket pump attached to the Ideal windmill. Davenport looms up again in Mr. Sander's "finest wagon made," for it has the liettendorf hollow steel axle and Sarvent wheels. The Huber engine ana blower, Milwaukee corn husker and fodder cutter, the Moline Plow company's products and that of the Orendorlf company are among the other exhibits of Mr. Sander that attract lots of attention from farmers.

A btudebaker wagon, made especially for the fair, and as tine as can be made, has already been sold to Chas. liorchers of Green Tree. Mr. Sander was feeling happy Tuesday over the interest khown in his exhibit and the numerous sales he had made, and he certainly merited the success he had achieved. 1 j.

w. BUCK. Mr. Duck contributed the remainder of the display of implements. His house, which has put out 63 aermotors within a short time past, has been too busy to make an elaborate attempt at show, but it makes an interesting showing of the latest inventions that are of practical use to the farmers.

Among thee is the McCormick corn cutter and binder, a machine never shown here before. Entirely new, too, is the shoe pressure wheat drill, a neat device that is coming into general favor among the progressive farmers. The celebrated Deere shaker potato digger is another of the labor savers and is worthy of attention. The litt-tendorf interchangeable and imperishable wheel, and a variety of feed steamers, grinders, mills and horse powers, tank, heaters, Myers, Uuckeye and Moline pumps, come under the same heading, while the aermotor windmill is 6imply unsurpassable. THE RACES.

The racing program of the afternoon consisted of three events and a lot of extra attractions. II. E. Woods of Norborae, was the starter C. Van Sant of Wilton and J.

A. LeClaire and Erdix T. Smith of Davenport the judges. J. P.

Van Tuyl was the clerk of the course and Charles Haskins, C. II. Preston and Walter Petersen were in the timers' stand. The first race was the three minute trot, and it was won in excellent time by Jake II a handy little horse entered by A. liurrall of Hock Island.

ih various parts of the city, all of which are used by the electric light, telephone, telegraph and street railway com panies. In the business portion of the city there are a great many more poles than is absolutely necessary at least this is the general opinion in regard to the matter. The board of public works and the city electrician believe that many of them can be removed and that the Interests of all the companies will be promoted and the electric and tel ephone service will not be affected in any way by the work. It is therefore the intention to take down about 20 per cent, or 1,000 of the poles in the main part of the city. JusJ; when this wors will be begun is not known yet, but it is a task of the near future.

That there are many poles that have been standing for years and are almost utterly useless is not doubted. Dav enport has more poles in its business portion than any other city of its size in the west, and If they can handle their business with fewer poles Dav enport ought to. Serves Are like Fire.

TO BE GIVtN BISHOP COSGROVE THIS EVENING. Tke Eminent Divine Returns This Even ing from Ills Trip Abroad A Monater Public Ovation to be Tendered HimArrangement for tbeOcculoa, This evening Right Rev. Bishop Cosgrove ret urns, to Davenport after more than two months spent in sunny Italy and other parts of arepe. He will arrive on the 9:10 train, and it is proposed to tender him a public reception, the committee in charge of the affair being prominent men who repre- eent in an unofficial capacity the peo ple of the city. Bishop Cosgrove is the oldest priest in Davenport point of continuous service here, and a man who has always been held in high re gard by all classes of citizens.

At a meeting held at Sacred Heart ca thedral Sunday the parish with which he was for years personally identified, plans for a reception were discussed. Rev. James Davis, pastor of the cather dral, presided at the meeting. In view of the fact that a reception of some kind had been talked about for some time, it was but natural that the people of his former parish should be the leading spirits in the matter. Accordingly it was decided by his former- parishoners and other prominent citizens that a general invitation should be extended to all citizens to make the occason a notable one for the eminent divine.

A committee of the gentlemen's sodalitv appointed some time ago to ask the co-operation of the other church societies and congregations made a favora ble report, and there is every reason to believe that the attendance of members of churches in the bishop's diocese will be large. The. Ancient Order of Hibernians will act as a processional escort to conduct the bishop from the depot to the cathedral. The address of welcome will be delivered by Fred B. Sharon.

A line musical program has been arranged for the occasion by Joe L. Hebert and Joseph A. Huot the committee on singing. W. T.

Dittoe, Fred B. Sharon and J. F. Lardner compose the committee appointed to meet Bishop Cosgrove at the train. They will, upon his arrival, escort him to carriages in waiting on the south side of the Kimball.

All who desire to participate in the parade in honor of the bishop are requested to meet in the Hibernian hall on Brady street, where the divisions of the A. O. H. will also gather. At 9 o'clock the march from the hall will be begun, the line going down Brady to Fourth, and east on Fourth to the Kimball house, to await the arrival of the bishopric party.

As soon as they are seated in their carriages the procession will move westward on Fourth to Main, north on Main to Eleventh, east on to LeClaire, south on LeClaire to Tenth to the cathedral en trance. The party will then enter the catnearai ana tnere Mr. Sharon will de liver the address of welcome to the noted prieet. It is expected that Bishop Cosgrove will in bis response have something to say of interest regarding his trip abroad. The citizens, and peo ple of Davenport in general, will doubtless make the occasion a memorable one.

GRAND ORGAN RECITAL. Also Concert on Evening of. Sept. 24 at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, by Emi nent Artists. Mr.

Wilhelm Middleschulte of Chicago and Miss Theresa Laurent of Muscatine, will appear in a grand or gan recital and concert at. the Sacred i neart catnearai in tnis city on tne evening ot sept. c. Of Miss Laurent's -abilities there need be, no comment, as she has ap peared here before, and her work has left her a brilliant reputation, which she also possesses among her many friends at home, by her frequent per formances at St. Matthias' church, of which she is organist.

Wilhelm Middleschulte is a native of Westphalia, and his musical education was begun at the early age of 10 years under the best instructors, August Knabe, himself a pupil of the famous Iloupt and Loeschorn, being his first Young Middleschulte entered the Koyal Academy of Church Music in Berlin, and for three years he pur sued his organ studies under August llaupt (organ and theory), Albert Loeschorn (piano), Dr. Julius Alsleben (history "and direction), and Franz Commer (editor of the Musical Sacra). These eminent masters took great interest in the young 6tu dent, and Haupt honored him by appointing him his assistant organist at the Parochial kirche and his assistant teacher at the Royal academy. In a a testimonial given Mr. Middleschulte by his professors, they say of him: "Greatly gifted with musical talent he has always distinguished himself in every subject by extraordinary application, so that now at the end of his studies we can most heartily give him a place of the highest distinction, stating at the same time that he is perfectly capable of teaching successfully any branch ot music in a first class institution." In April, 1888, he was made the organist and choir director of St.

Lucas church, Berlin, a position that was held before him by the celebrated Dr. Alsleben and Dr. Rust. In 1891 Mr. Middleschulte came to Chicago and was at once appointed organist and choir director of the Cathedral of the Holy Name.

At the opening of Stein way hall Chicago, May 10 and 11 Clarence Eddy and Mr. Middleschulte were the organists. The vocal part of the concert will be under the direction of Joe L. Herbert, director of the choir.which suffices to say it will be of a high musical standard. Tickets! with reserved seats have been placed at the moderate sum of 50 cents, which will be offered to the public by members of the choir and con-gregationJ LOCAL MENTION.
