the board should hasten to pass the neces-

MEREDITHs MISSION.

In the statement published yesterday by
Geo. F. Meredith, at one time pastor of the
Methodist church in Peoria, and more late
" the section of churches of that denomina-
ton in Kewanee and Kansas City, insinu-
ated that some one had impersonated him
and visited this city last March in company
with a female whose expulsion from the
Harper House has become quite well
known.
In order that there might be no mistake
concerning the reverend gentleman's trip
to this city, an inspection of the registers
of the Harper House has been made. On
the 10th of March the name of Geo. F.
Meredith, Kansas City," appears upon the
pages, written in manner that would in
dictate the writer was either suffering from
nervous prostration" or else from the eff
fects of too much liquor.
The guest was assigned mo. AZ" On
the same page appears the name of ." Mrs.
O'Brien, from Kewanee." The latter name
was given to the clerk and was by him
written, as noted above. The female guest
was credited with occupyers room g No.
81 She stated that she expected broth
er on the western train, and On his arrival
Meredith" played the brother dodge, and
enquired for his sister and learned that she
was in the hotel.
The first act of the man, who registered
as Meredith" was to visit the saloon, and
drink some whiskey. He also procured a
bottle of that liquid to take up to his room
His next step was to visit his pretended
sisters room about II o'clock, and the ex-
pulsion of both parties followed as a nat
ural consequence. Meredith next registered
at the Rock Island House, but was unac-
companied by his female companion, and
so far it is not known where the latter
spent the night.
The presiding elder of the district in which
Meredith was preaching visited the Harper
House and compared Merediths writing
and signature with the name written on
the register. They are said to be the same
only the latter signature shows more
nervous prostration" that the owner
usually exhibited in signing his name.
1t appears that the original Mrs
O'Brien" from Kewanee, claims that some
female impersonated her, as she was not in
Rock Island at that time. This may be the
fact, as there is no proof either of sigma
ture or other that the female was Mrs.
OBrien." 1t is rumored however, that
there is domestic unpleasantness in Kewa-
nee on occount of the story, and it is even
limited that divorce suit will result from
the affair.

interest of the Buford pillow works, and by
Geo. Shaver of Monmouth. The latter,
however, failed to make an appearance
during the examination in this city last fall
IAN examination which occupied several
weeks of time All the evidence that
could be obtained in opposition to the
title of the claimants was produced, wit
nesses brought from far as well as near,
to give evidence as to their first sight of
the spring.
Then all the evidence was sent to the
Commissioner Of Patents who make thor
ough examination of it, devoting his spare
time for months to dissection of it. The
result was that on the 7th of this month he
decided that the Eagle Manufacturing Com
pany was entitled to the patent, and he
has forwarded it accordingly.
The spring was invented by Mr.. E. A.
Wright, of the Eagle company; he invent
ed it a full year before it became public
And no sooner had the Eagle cultivators
bearing the spring been sold, than all the
manufacturers of cultivators in the country
began buying'them and applying the prin-
ciple to their machines now a cult
vator can't be sold unless it has this lifting
spring.
Mr. Wright sold his invention to the Ea-
gle company, who forthwith notified all the
manufacturers that had adopted the spring
that they were infringing on the Eagle
companys rights. A few of the manu-
facturers examined into its merits of the
claim, acknowledge that it was just, and
commenced paying royalty-but the others
held out for the establishment of the claim
before the Commissioner of patents, and
did all they could to defeat it.
Whether the opposition to the claims of
the patentees for royalty viii be carried
into the United States Courts or not, is not
known at present, but the Eagle Company
intends bringing suit against all manufac-
turers who are applying the invention
and they are all doing it, The Eagle folks
have no doubt, whatever, of decision in
their favor should their right be contested,
but it will involve much litigation How
ever, they will fight it through.
