That all the gods talked with her as their own.

A ROMANCE.

There arrived on last evenings Chicago
train, which gets to Moline at 6:15, a
young couple whose appearance attracted
the attention of the bystanders. The
couple consisted of slender built young
man of about twenty one years of age. and
his companion, young lady. decidedly
pretty and blonde. They proceeded up
rant, where they ordered supper. On the
6:57 train came a third party, who took a
prominent hand in the affair. He was an
elderly man, of forty years of age. and was
well dressed. He very quietly asked an
express driver if he had noticed the couple
above referred to get off the train. The
driver replied in the affirmative, and point
ed out the direction that they had taken.
The elderly man proceeded up town, and
in goidg past Wallace's restaurant caught
glimpse of the young man. Stepping to
the side door he entered the dining
room, to the utter CONSERVATION of
the young couple. A few words
were spoken between them in an under
Tone anu Tile Two WdlkeQ OUT OH IuO Sluo-
walk. The young man inquired of by
stander as to the di stance from Moline to
Davenport. When being informed hack
driver was signaled and the two entered the
vehicle and were driven rapidly toward
Rock Island.
An investigation of the strange meeting
developed the following facts, as subse
quentfy told by the younger man: He
said that his name was Frank Montgomery
and his residence was at Roudnout, New
York. The young ladies' name was given
as Miss Belle Wilson, of the same place,
and the elderly man was Geo. III. Wilson,
the father of the young lady. 1t seems
from the young mans story that he had
been paying attentions to Miss Wilson for
the past year. HIS addresses were

SECRET HISTORY.

One year ago there was considerable
comment about the BUSTING of Mr.. H. w.
Hyde from the poormasters position.
Directly after the municipal election,
when everybody supposed. at the time,
that Mr.. clyde had filed the position ably
and had executed the duties of the office
in business-like manner. and when the
mayor appointed w, e. Stevens the an
nouncement was received like the bursting
of a bomb shell in the ranks of politicians
and the public in general. 1t was surmised
at the time that there was some
thing behind the scenes, but as nothing
defnlte,,could be ascertnined, the particulars
never appeared in print At the recent
local election w. E. Stevens, the present
incumbent of the poormaster's Office, was
nominated by the Mayor and rejected by
the aldermen. At the next meeting he
was taken up and confirmed During the
time between the meetings, Mr.. Hydes
name was suggested to the alderman, and
it was universally thought that he would
be the next poormaster.
Subsequent developments changed the
aspect of affairs, and Stevens was placed
in office, much to the surprise of the pub
lie. The reaso leaked out, and now is
street rumor that Hyde would not be dicta-
ted to by the Mayor, as towhom he should
appoint as poor physician, thereby losing
his chance of being poormaster; this is of
late occurrence, but what transpIred year
ago will interest the public, as it certainly
has peculiar appearance. Il IS stated a
few days before the city convention.
Mayor Wheelock went to Mr..
Hyde, who was then the
poormaster and told him that if he would
secure the vote Of q certain delegate that it

have more capital invested in their

would be necessary to include car-works

A car-Building State.

But few persons are aware that Indi-
ana is the leading state for car-building,
and has the largest car manufaetory in
the world. Yet such are the facts. The
Ohio Falls car-works, at which both
passenger and freight equipments are
built, employ more men than does the
muoh-talked-of Pullman Car company.
There are now in this state eight expen-
sive manufactures, at which cars are
built, and attached to four of them are
foundries, which cast the wheels and all
other cast-iron material used in their
construction. These works give en-

SUDDENLY RECLAIMED HIS SPEECH.
Astonishment Created by a Customer in a
Chicago Shop.

Quietly entering the barber
shop, the stranger removed his
hat and coat, and taking a card
from his pocket wrote on it:
81 want to be shaved"
A barber stepped forward, read
the card, and, pointing to a chair,
said to the other artists:
Deaf as a brass kettle and
dumb as an oyster"
The man Strengthened himself
out in the chair, when his man
ipulator began lathering his face.
"The deaf cuss has a cheek like
a stone wall" he said, when "a gen.
eral laugh followed.
"Stick a pin in him and see if
he is entirely dumb said anoth-
er.
The victim remaining undistur-
bed, the following shots were fired
at him by the delighted t~onsorial
artists:
"He needs a shampoo; his head
is dirtier than a cesspool."
"Shave him with q stool leg;
don't spoil your razor on that
stubble."
"Gracious what a breath! 1t
smells like a Dutch band of mus.
ic."
Gle ought to rent that nose for
a headlight" etc.
While these complimentary al
lusions were flying about him, the
operation of shaving was fin
ished, and the man arose, put on
his coat, and then turning to the
astonished barber, said;
GLOW much for the shave and
compliments
"I-I-I-I,' gasped the as.
tonished man. ooh, nothing, call
again, excuse"-and as the stran-
ger left the shop the discounted
BARRIERS swore they would never
believe in a deaf and dumb man
again until they had first fired a
ten-pound cannon about his ears.
