ILLINOIS CITY.

ILLINOIS CRY, Nov. Is, 1881.
Illinois City is represented in the county
court this term. The case is VIM. More.
head for carrying concealed weapons.
Rev o. O, Smith, SON of Elder O. F.
Smith has been appointed pastor in charge
of the United Bretheren Church. He
preached his first sermon, Oct. 9Th, Satur-
day night, and the following Sabbath at
Elenor, and at night to a good. congrega-
ton. He is comparatively young man,
but is old in experience. The society is
well pleased with him.
c. M. Kood, resident of this city Is ap
pointed pastor of the M. E. Church
c. r. Ellsworth has received his com
mission as notary public,
Our city was thrown in little state of
excitement last Sabbath morning by a re-
port that one John Hahn, a German had
tried to murder his wife the night before,
by stabbing her with a knife and breaking
one of her fingers, and that he had said
that he intended to kill the whele family
and then kin himself Constable Lequatt,
accompanied by G.. r. Ellworth went to
the home of the Hahn's. They found the
old man setting by the stoye looking very
sad, By inquiring into the matter they
found out that the old man was making
himself some soup and the old lady went
IN the room and tried to spill it. At that
time the old man pushed her away with
an old case knife that he had in his hand.
The old lady in trying to spill the soup
got her finger hurt. This was the cause of
the whole trouble.

A RuMoR.

The report is prevalent in commercial
circles that there is a combination existing
among western merchants whereby they
have agreed not to purchase goods of com
mercial travellers. The complaint is made
that they are too pressing in endeavoring
to sen goods, though their occasional con-
venience is often times recognized. An
exchange, in commenting on this same
subject says it is fact, that in many of
the largest houses the army of drummers
they employ absorb by far the greater
share of the profits, and whenever one is
discharged for any cause he carries away a
good portion of the trade which he had
been paid for working up, and for more
pay hands it over to some, other rival
house. When it was the custom for the
country merchant to come into Che city to
buy his goods he remained two or three
days on each visit, had pleasant time of
combined with business. It is
well, anyhow. that the wholesale and re-
tail dealer should personally meet three or
four times year. 1t begets' confidence
and friendship between them that il often
beneficial to both.

SELF DESTRUCTION.

Last night at seven O'Clock the dead
body of Lars Johnson was found in an out
house on a farm near Milan. TWAS learned
that the deceased had repeatedly threat
ened to kill himself and the presence OF
some rat poison about his clothes made it
probable that he had succeeded in his at
tempt to shuttle off this mortal coil.
johnson lives on Big Island where he
had small farm, and family consisting
of wife and four small children. He was
a laborer and worked at the Paper Mills
at Milan and also did service on the Mer-
Ger County railroad. He was somewhat
addicted to drink, and not only failed to
provide for his family. but also when in
toxicated abused his wife and children.
Last Monday his wife left him as she
claimed she could no longer endure his
abuse. She went to relatives farm in the
immediate vicinity. This act of his wife
appeared to discourage Johnson who imme-
diately proceeded to become intoxicated.
He continued in tins condition until yes
terday when he managed to secure some
rat poison. He then went up to the place
where his wife was quartered, and told
them that he came for the purpose OF
dying. He went out and soon afterwards
was found to be dead.
The coroner was notified and this morn
ing jury was impaneled and verdict
rendered in accordance with the above
noted facts.

real estate located in Rock Island.

to Rock Island and they continued to make
this city their home until their respective
deaths, his wife's death occurring some two
years ago.
The deceased was in his 69th year, and
leaves two children. ar
Capt. Henderson was Typical self
made man, honest and original in all his
dealings and justly proud of the progress
which he had made in financial way.
