WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.

The Union thinks it wrong to publish
accounts Of hanging. Consequently it
failed to give any report of the affair. The
probable reason was because it was too
lazy and also lacked the newspaper ability
and enterprise necessary to do So The
other papers of this city and Davenport
had their reporters there and stretched
every nerve to give the public the fullest de
tails. In order to show that the public want
ed it, we print the following list of papers
sold at the two news stands of this CITY
Al. Bowen on Friday night sold four Dem
ocrats and thirty fee copies of the ARGUS.
On Saturday he sold tsoenty-sigM Gazette's
and ttco L1aien's. At the Postoffice stand
on Friday there were tharty-ttfee copies of
the ARGUS sold and twenty Democrats while
not 1t single Union was sold the next
morning. This list is irrespective
of papers sold on the street, and hundred
and fifty copies which were sent to Milan
and Cambridge, all of which were sold as
soon at they arrived. and three hundred
more copies could have been sold if we
could have printed them. THE ARGUS
printed nearly fue ha7sdled extra copies ON
Friday night, and at half past seven that
night there was not a copy left in the Office.
Double the number could have been sold
If we had had them. And yet the Union
thinks that such accounts should not be
given. If the Union would brace up and
give some such accounts, it would find it

lowing Saturday morning, S. S. Merrick,
the delegate from this city to the Liquor
Dealers Association convention at Bloom
ington, returned with A. E. Knickerbocker
of Rock Island This afternoon there was
excitement among their friends, and at
three O'Clock it became manifest that some
thing was to happen, as crowds of young
men began to assemble at Flynn & Mer-
ricks saloon.
When all had become quiet Mr.. Knick
erbocker stepped forward, and in neat
little speech full of wit, presented Mr.
Mcrrick a cane, closing with the statement
that, as all the members of the Liquor
Dealers Association had been presented
with canes but Mr.. Merrick and he, he
thought it was no more than right that he
should present this cane, which cost only
ten cents. to Mr.. Merrick as token of re-
spect. Mr.. Merrick received the cane, but
could not say anything, as he was com
pletely overcome.
Then DR.. Lambert stepped forward, and
introduced Forrest Cooke, ESQ.,, who with
few remarks applicable to the occasion,
and very humorous, presented to Mr..
Knickerbocker. of Rock Island, cane as
token of respect from the Liquor Dealers
and Consumers' Association of Galesbure.
Mr.. Knickerbocker took the present, and
unwrapped it., when was revealed cane
with small bottle on the upper end of it,
upon which were inscribed the following
words, the word "Emblematic" being on
top:

HIS WIFE.

Catharine Heilwagner, wife of the ac-
| cused murderer, is an elderly German wo-
man, who has spent all her life upon a
farm. She was married to him in this coun
ty "a years ago, moved to Quincy and re-
turned to her present habitation on the
1st of last May. In reply to questions, she
stated that her husband had been in trou-
BILE once before while they lived near Quin-
cy At that time he had taken some wheat
that did not belong to him. He was ar
rested for the same, and in some way com.
promised the matter without going to Jail.
She did not know of any trouble between
her husband and Dora, and thought they
were pretty good friends. She stated that
on the Monday night of the murder her
husband came home pretty drunk. He
carried with him pint of whiskey in a
bottle She went to bed between 10 and
IL o'clock and went to sleep, and did not
think that he came to bed that night at all.
IN THE MORNING
she found sack wet on the line and also
shirt put On by her husband the day be
fore, soaking In some water. She did not
find any blood upon either garment. She
asked him about the sack, and he said: Il
used it for something; but it won't DO me
any good"
His wife stated that her nus
band sometimes took sack at night to
steal chickens and she thought he had been
engaged in that employment during the
night She further stated that he carried
poison with him for long time and she
was always afraid that he would kill some
body. On Tuesday morning her husband
was away from home on his way to work
by six o'clock. He returned that evening
and was afraid to look her in the face. She
asked him II he didn't know that Dora was
missing, and he said no." although every
body was talking about it all over that sec
ton of the country, and he must have
heard of it before arriving home. She be-
lieves her husband committed the murder,
although her evidence can not be used
against him ON the trial.
