:. Rather serious question has arisen
before the registering board of the county
of Rock Island, Illinois. The island it
self has been ceded to the United States,
and the officers do not know whether TO
allow the residents upon it to vote. The
custom in similar cases in other States,
has, we believe, been to refuse to allow
those living on land over which the gen.
eraI government has jurisdiction to exer-
else the right of voting, but the Rock Is
land board is inclined to register the names
of those whose right is in dispute.

David Barry, in May last, near the village

! interest, and large crowds of people col
! lected around the Jail. The execution
took place within the walls, in The presence

In 1945 John Elliott left his home
and his wife, who had borne him eleven
children, in Putnam county, Indiana, sud-
! denly and in passion at some slight mis-
understanding that had occurred between
them. After he had been gone about two
years, his wife, supposing him dead,
married again. Recently Mr.. Elliott re-
turned, after an absence of twenty-six
years. He had an interview with his
wife, and she, without hesitation, returned
to her first choice. Mr.. Elliott had been
