DESERTED WIFE.

John w Ball and his wife, Mrs Rachel
Ball, were formerly residents of this coun-
ty, although they now reside in Dayen-
port. They lived on a farm a short dis
lance from this city, and sold their prop
erty to the railroad in 1876, and moved
over the river. 1t would appear that life
in Davenport has not been so productive
of happiness as was existence in this coun-
ty, for the second named party is now out
with petition praying for divorce.
In this document she states that they
were married in Fairfield, o.. on the 10th
day of November, 1916, and they lived in
peace and tranquility until short time ago,
when he allowed his affection to wander,
and then trouble began.
The Davenport Democrat in noting the
petition, says:
She states in her petition that down to
1877-or for 81 years after their wedding
day-they lived aquiet peaceable and hap

or part to the comfort of the other, and will

comforts OF a home, and by their joint
efforts they succeeded in acquiring property

Judge Lynde met with peculiar accident
which resulted in his death3 this morning.
1t appears that during the night the horse
assumed such position while lying down,

became fastened in the flesh. In attempt
ing to extricate himself from the uncom-
Portable position: he fractured one of his

Thismorning he was shot by officer Dun

RUN OVER.

Last night the body of Gustive Palm
quist was found on one of the railroad
tracks in Moline. He had been walking
up the track, and was oyertaken by the
north bound c. NJ & ST. p train. The
remains were fearfully mangled when dis
covered, and it is highly probable that
death occurred few seconds after the
accident.
The deceased was employed as driver Of
a kindling wood wagon in that place, and
was regarded as sober, hard working man.
He leaves wife and family in limited cir
cumstances. An inquest was held this
morning by coroner Morris, but nothing
new or startling was developedsby the tes-
timony.

GIGANTEAN MINSTRELs.

A good sized audience assembled at
Harper's theatre last evening on the occa-
sion of the first appearance of the Gigan-
team Minstrels in this city,
The Gigantean Ninstrels gave the best
performance that has been given the pres
ent season. and Rock Island has had more
than its share of such organizations. The
most attractive parts Of the programme
were the singing Of Cooke, Lamont. Tyr
rell and Kellogg, the acrobatic song and
dance by Connors and Kelly, the sketch of
old time minstrelsy led by the veteran Dan
Emmett, the three Rankins in their must
cal act and the comedians, Dave Reed, Lew
Benedict and Harry Armstrong 1t is
probable that the same troupe will return
during the spring on their return trip from
California
UNCLE TOM.
The play of Uncle Toms Cabin. or
Life among the Lowly,a has been revived
the present season to an alarming extent,
as no less than six separate companies are
on the road with this play as their attrac

visited Rock Island and played to good
houses, and the third and best will present
the drama in this city next Tuesday even
ing.
1t is called Anthony & Ellis Ideal Uncle
Tom Party, and includes Minnie Foster as
Topsy, Lottie Burke as EUa, the Memphis
University quartette, the trained donkey,

Of such production.
The popular scale of prices has been

lands lying adjacent.
During the day, it was proposed to util-
ize the county's property adjoining the
Milan graveyard in South Rock Island
township, as site for the pest house, and
the meeting this afternoon was called for
the purpose of making decision between
the two localities.
1t becomes seIf-evident fact that no
place can be selected that will not excite
some opposition from the adjacent proper
ty owners, and the question to be decided
by the committee is to secure a central,
convenient spot, isolated as far as possible
fnam other residents, and then erect the
pest house thereon.
10 good reason can be assigned why the
pest house and the proposed county hos
pital should not be IN convenient proxim-
ity, and many reasons can be advanced why
the two buildings should be together. This
is the case in Davenport, and other cities,
and it will probably be the case in this
city.
At late hour this afternoon the COM
mittee had arrived at no decision in rega I'd
to the location of the pest house.

PEST HOUSE.

This afternoon q meeting of the various
committees appointed by the Board of Su
pervisors, the City Council of Rock Island
and Moline, and the health departments of
municipalities. was held at the private OF
fee of Mr.. P. L. Cable.
The object of the gathering was to dis
cuss the location of the proposed pest house
to be used jointly by the two cities and the
county.
1t is quite generally known that the To-
cation of this necessary institution had
caused considerable trouble. and
no less than four places have
been selected, which were abandoned
en- account of the opposition manifested
by residents of the localities named.
At first Major McNeils building in
South Rock Island was named, but the
denizens of that township in meeting as
sembled, opposed the move, and the city
Board of Health abandoned the project,
although every arrangement had been
made for occupying the first named build
ing.
As a second move point on Sylvan Is
land was chosen, and Moline was invited
to join in the enterprise and the two
cities were expected to occupy the propos-
ed building jointly.
The officers on the Island gave out that
they would use every legal means to pre-
vent such occupation, and it was under
stood that they would ask for an injunc.
ton, restraining the health authorities from
erecting such an institution on the island
selected
This necessitated second move, and as
a last resort, Mr.. P. E. Cable of this city,
proposed to donate portion of his vacant
property on the hill near Dodge's line to
be used as pest house site His gift was
conditional as the, authorities were required
to erect and maintain high board fence
around the building and take suchIprecan-
tions as was necessary to prevent the
spreading of any contagious disease.
