A new walk should be laid on Second street-but never mind, new walks should

bill for damages to pay to some one who will fall and break their arms or
limbs.

While attending to his usual work at the barn Friday evening last, Mr. J.B.
ADAMS was taken with a stroke of paralysis. Not coming in by 6 o'clock as
usual Mrs. ADAMS sent her son to see what detained him and found him on the
floor speechless.

Says an eminent physician: "So long as men uncover their heads in theatres,
halls, etc., just so long catarrh will be a national ailment and men suffer
neuralgia and bronchial infections. There is no more sense in a man removing
his hat than there is in a woman laying her bonnet aside."

On Saturday afternoon at the home of the bride's parents occurred the
marriage of Mr. Granville C. HAUGH and Miss Mary SCHILDER, Rev. J.F.
GHORMLEY officiating. This young couple are well known in the city, and all
friends join in wishing them a bright and happy future. They go to
housekeeping on Gaines, between Sixth and Seventh.

Last Saturday at about 7:30 o'clock two little fellows about 7 or 8 years
old wandered into the electric light station at Moline and told the engineer
that they were lost. They said their names were Frankie JOHNSON and Leo
LAUGHLIN, and that they lived in Davenport...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New Sidewalks.
There is an ordinance in this city providing that no person or persons shall
lay a sidewalk in front of their property unless it is of brick, stone or
asphalt, in other words, to say that no plank sidewalks shall be laid within
a certain district. Now we have seen new plank walks laid within these
certain precincts, and would respectfully ask the street commissioner or the
chief of police, who gave the parties the right to do so, as the ordinance
strictly forbids any such walks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Police Points
F. KNOWLTON, of Galva, Ill., was run in on Saturday night on the charge of
drunk and disorderly. He plead guilty, and was fined $2 and costs.
George HARPER, a professional deadbeat, was found with whips, oil cans,
buggy tongues, etc., in his possession which belonged to other parties, and
was arrested, but upon his promise that if they would let him go out of town
and never return, he was escorted to the end of the bridge and told to
"git."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seranaded.
On Saturday evening the boys thought they would give Fred ASCHERMANN a
reminder of the honor bestowed upon him at the convention in the afternoon
of that day, so they accordingly engaged a brass band and hied themselves
away to the residence of Mr. ASCHERMANN on Harrison street, and there they
discoursed sweet music until the "wee small hours."
Mr. A. invited them in and a general good time was had by all who
participated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Smothered to Death
On last Friday afternoon occurred the death of George WERTHMANN, Jr., who
was killed in a very peculiar manner.
Mr. WERTHMANN, who was out in the field with a younger brother, and was busy
plowing, noticed the approach of the storm, and unhitching their horses,
they started for the house, George riding one and his brother driving the
other. When near the house the horse which he was riding in some manner fell
throwing the rider and pinning him to the ground. His brother tried with all
his power to remove the horse, but was unavailing in his efforts. Failing in
this, he mounted the other horse and rode as fast as he could for his
father, who, upon his arrival, got the horse up, but it was too late; the
boy was dead.
Coroner McCORTNEY was sent for and after viewing the body decided there was
no need of an inquest.
The marks of the hoofs where the horse had slipped were plainly visible, but
what caused it to slip, how the boy fell beneath the horse, and why the
horse remained prostrate after falling is a mystery.
The boy fell face downward and death must have ensued from suffocation, as
no bones were broken.
The funeral services were held from St. Joseph's church at 2 o'clock
yesterday and quite a number of the friends of the family were in
attendance. The interment took place in St. Mary's cemetery.

A Silver Wedding
On Wednesday evening, Sept. 24, Mr. and Mrs. Henry BOSTOCK, of South Rock
Island, were reminded of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding by
hearing the delicious strains of "Home Sweet Home." On opening the door they
were met by a number of their old friends who took possession of their home.
Dancing and singing were carried on till the wee small hours. A bounteous
lunch was served by the ladies, and when wishing good-bye, every one was
heard to say a more enjoyable evening was never spent by any of them.
Mr. H.W. BOSTOCK and Miss Mary WORRALL were married on the 24th day of
September, 1865, at St. Martin's Episcopal church, Birmingham, England.
A notable event of the evening was the presentation of a picture by Mr.
BOSTOCK to his wife of herself. She had given the original photo to him
before their marriage. The friends remarked there was not much difference in
the bride of sixteen and the woman of to-day, and they both looked young
enough to pass their fiftieth anniversary, as all of their friends hope they
will be spared to do.

A Case for Sympathy

At the north end of Ripley street there lives a family by the name of
TICHENOR, who are in great need of assistance and help and sympathy.
The husband and father, John TICHENOR, is a hard laboring man, who works
when work can be had.
He has two daughters and one son, all of whom are sick abed with diphtheria.
One of the young ladies is a teacher in the Ida Institute. This is not all
the trouble yet in store for them. The mother, from the care and worry of
those she loves, has gone insane, having lost her reason entirely. Under
these circumstances the good people of this city should at once to and
administer comfort to those who are so badly distressed, both in mind and
body.
Christian people should show the Christianity which Christ tells about and
do unto others as ye would have them do unto you.
The commissioners of insanity had an examination this morning and found Mrs.
TICHENOR violently insane. She was removed to the Mt. Pleasant insane asylum
this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did Not Mention It

The Democrat, in its last evening's issue, carefully avoided to mention the
fact that the Alliance of Green Tree, when they passed resolutions, passed a
resolution of thanks to the Hon. J.H. MURPHY for his faithful work on the
Hennepin canal.
Such little acts of discourtesy to one of our own citizens, one who has
labored long and earnestly for improvements-improvements from which the
Democrat will reap a fair share of profit-show a very small spirit in a very
small man. But what more could you expect from such a man as the editor of
the Democrat, or from such a sheet as the paper claims to be.

OBITUARY
On Monday evening at his residence, 318 Perry street, occurred the death of
Morse BOIES.
Mr. BOIES was born in Beaver county, Pa., Nov. 23, 1823. He lived at New
Brighton, Pa., until 12 years of age, and it was there that he received his
education. In 1855 he came to Davenport whre he worked at the furniture
business until 1866, when he bought Israel HALL's undertaking establishment,
in which business he continued ever since. He was united in marriage Dec.
29, 1861, with Miss Margaret V. BOWLING, daughter of ex-Mayor James BOWLING.
He has been a member of the Masonic fraternity since its organization. He
was a consistent member of the Methodist church for years.
Mr. BOIES was a kind-hearted, conscientious man and always had a kind word
for everyone with whom he came in contact. he was a member of the Pioneer
Settlers association and most active in keeping up that organization. For
several years past he has been gradually failing, and last spring he
purchased a farm at Gilbert, intending to retire and there end his days in
peace, but Providence had decreed otherwise, and when five weeks ago he was
compelled to take to his bed he felt that the end was drawing near. During
all this time, however, he suffered no pain, but gradually grew weaker and
weaker until the end came. Sunday evening he lost the power of speech and
became unconscious, in which condition he remained until death.
He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss-Bessie J., Ella C.,
Warren D., and Lottie M., all of whom, with an only sister, Mrs J.M. LEGGET,
and her husband of Des Moines, were at his bedside when he breathed his
last.
The funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the
M.E. church, instead of from the family residence on Perry street.
