DAVENPORT, Iowa, Dec. 30th, 1881.
Since the Boards of Health of the diff
erent states, in which the lines of this road
are located, believe that small pox is inter
rupting travel, and otherwise prejudicing
the health and lives of the citizens, and
that immunity from the disease may be en-
joyed, 1T is deemed best for all railway en-
ployees to be vaccinated.
You will therefore, within thirty days
form the date of this order, be vaccinated.
In those cases where vaccination has
been performed, but not within one year,
re-vaccination is required.
All officers in charge of men will see
that this requirement is strictly enforced
and any refusal to comply with this pro-
vision must at once be reported to the

STRANGE STORY.

The sensational reports concerning the
whereabouts of Mrs. Reed, nee Miss Min
ME Beals Sullivan, whose death was re-
ported to have occurred in Paris some
time ago, revives the recollection of the
lady when she was a little girl attending
school in Rock Island. Among the older
residents who recall the then little girl is
Justice Cropper. He states that in the
year 1858 or perhaps the year preceding
that named, he was one of the trustees of
schools for the town of Rock Island. Dur
ing that year the trustees secured the ser
time, school was held in the basement of
the Methodist church on the cor. of nine
teenth st. and Fifth Avenue, and here
Mr. Beals taught the young ideas how to
shoot during the season. The teacher was
accompanied by young step child who
waDcalled Minnie Beals. This little girl
was dark completed, black eyes, and was
not what is regarded as a strikingly hand
some child. She however was gifted with
a remarkable sweet voice, and even while
a child gave promise of vocal attachments
that are not enjoyed by the average pro-
fessional singer. After leaving Rock
Island the family moved to Moline, and
subsequently visited Topeka, Kan, when
the report came that Miss Beals had mar
ried young army officer by the name of
Phillip Reed. The peculiarly of the mar
riage was that the young bride left imme-
diately for Europe to complete her musical
education while her husband remained in
the United States. She was furnished
with money by her husband. during her
stay abroad, receiving the same through
a certain bank in Paris Suddenly she
failed to cali for the money as was her Gus
tom, and from that circumstance original
ed the story that she was dead. The cor
respondents of the American papers locat-
ed at Paris gave due prominence
to the affair, and finally it was discovered
that she was dead. Her body is said 10
have been sent to Boston, and there the
discovery was made that the hair of the
dead woman had become changed, and in
stead of being black, as was the case in
life, it was auburn, showing conclusively
that mistake had been made. And now
comes a correspondent for one of the Chi
cago papers who states without giving
names, that he saw the person in life
whose reported death and subsequent ex-
change of bodies gave rise to the sensation
of a few y ears ago.
That portion of the story which locates
the discovery of the mistake in the remains
at Boston is not considered probable by
those who knew the family. 1t is claimed
that they had no relatives living at the
Hub" and that if the remains were
brought to this country they would have
been inferred at Rock Island, her former
home The father of the young lady is re-
ported to be living in Denver, Colorado,
while the whereabouts of the husband are
not known.
1t is certainly a very strange story from
beginning to end, and will bear investiga-
ton, as with SO many conflicting reports it
is difficult to get absolute facts.

HIS CONFESSION.

Last Saturday night a man appeared at
the police station and asked for shelter.
1t was Christmas eve, and the police au
thorities gave him INSTRUMENTATION as
were afforded in the tramp room of the
armory. In the morning the stranger at
tempted to leave the premises, but it was
evident that he was not physically liable
to 60 out. physician was sent for and
the stranger has been cared for as well as
circumstances would admit. He appeared
to be q man of more than ordinary intelli-
gence and gave every evidence of suffer
ing from the effects of protracted spree
He gave his name at that time as George
Eddy, stated that he was printer, and
claimed to be on his way from Kansas
City to some point in Wisconsin where his
relatives lived.
His heart became somewhat affected,
while his breathing became difficult. and it
was apparent that he was growing worse.
Yesterday he asked officer. bunker if the
attending physician, DR.. Craig, consider
ed the case hopeless. He stated that if he
was about to die he desired to make q
statement, but in case there was any hope
of his recovery he did not wish to talk
about himself
This morning his condition was consid-
cred very critical, and he was found on a
pallet in one of the prisoners apartments
by an ARGUS representative. The man
was laboring for breath and evidently shar-
ed the feeling of those about him that his
case was hopeless. He again asked if it
was thought that he could not recover. He
was told that the physician had not so stat
ed, when he refused to make statement.
In answer to question he claimed that
the confession or statement did not include
any crime, but more than that he refused
to say.
Subsequently he was visited by DIR.
Craig. who considered him somewhat i'm
proved. The prisoner gave his real name
as George Frettwell, and stated that he
had one relative who had been marshal Of
Utah. and another relative in Pennsylvania.
At his request DIR. Craig sent dispatch to
the latter relative. informing him of the
fact that Frettwell was in this city in
critical condition.
It is barely possible that more informal
ton can be obtained from the patient be-
fore his death which may be expected at
any time.
