She isa boomerang. Loose her and she

your sympathy is attracted by hor helpless

ANOTHER SUICIDE.

People in Davenport seem TO have a
mania for committing suicide. and if it
continues much longer the town will be
depopulated The latest one is Mrs.
Doris Rober, wife of John Rober, resid-
ing at No 526 LeClalre street She was
only % years of age, and had not been
married quite a year. Ten days ago she
gave birth to a child Wednesday she did
washing, which exertion, it is supposed,
caused her mind to become unbalanced.
Last evening about 6 o'clock she took a
butcher knife and cut her throat, When
found, she was lying partially under the
bed, dead, with her babe on the bed
above her. Her husband states that they
had always lived happily together, and
no other theory than mental derange-
ment can be advanced as to the cause Of
her committing the horrible deed,

CLEAVELAND's CASE

The Springfield Monitor, speaking of
the Cleaveland Hainline case, says:
By reference to our local columns, it
will be seen that the Monitors estimate of
the Matchmaking scheme of Bowling and
his unfortunate tool, was the correct one,
The statement made by this woman
Hainline, places the status of this case
where il belongs the shystering
lawyer bowling who has been undouht-
eddy endeavoring TO extOrt money from
MIR. Cleaveland, as he has endeavored to
do, and has done. upon other persons in
the city before Since the case of per
jury, upon which the woman was com
mitte,i, was dismissed, upon the present
alton of her statement made at the in
stance of her counsel called into the case
ycsterday-Gov. Palmer-we understand
the shyster bowling has served notice OF
his intention to try the case brought
against Cleaveland The Monitor has
never interfered in case while in the
hands of the law, for the purpose of
rejudlcing the case for or against the
parties at bar In this case, however,
there has been slight departure from
this rule, because of the dastardly char
acter of the whole affair and the disr,-
putable character of the sharks and shy
sters at work to scandalize member OF the
Legislature and bring the city into disre
pute for harboring such nest of vipers.
The self respect of the members of the
legal profession should kick all such
skunks and vermin from the halls of JUS
tice, as an example to others, and as a
| safeguard against repition of all such
damnable black hearted villainy. The
Monitor could fill its columns with the
contemplate maneuvering of the shyster
breed to bring gentlemen of this city into
disrepute unless money was paid to sup
press the internal charges trumped up
against them. The victims have been
numerous, and in some of the cases where
their fangs have been fastened upon timid
men. fearful of public opinion. they have
been successful in extorting money from
them to hush the proceedings threatened
They stop at nothing, perjury is mere
plaything and truth tortured out of all
shape to answer their hellish purpose,
Mr. Cleayeland, being brave soldier who
carries the scars of the enemy, obtained
OF the battle field, has defied their schemes
and faced that worst of all enemies, public
opinion, before be would quietly submit
to their demands, and we have admired
his course in 80 doing He has acted
nobly, and deserves credit for his resis-
| lance

who so expressed themselves, and very

Birdie q Ride.

According to a report that comes from
Morehead City, n. G, toy balloons are
about as dangerous as some other play
things made to amuse the children of these
days which often make little angels OF
them A three-year-old girl Of Morehead
had been sick of a fever and there was
little left of her except fragile frame.
Walking out to take the air her Caretaker
got toy balloon vender to tie his cluster
of balloons to the child TO amuse her
The wind was high blowing toward the
ocean, and sudden gust carried the bal
looms with the child attached high III the
all seward. Some bOatmen on the beach
saw the situation. and one of them who
had a rifle fired several shoots to burst
the balloons or cut the strings. AT length
the descent was made on a sand-bar, and
the boats that were prepared to follow
were not needed There was of course
some doubt as to whether the child had
been hit or not, but she was picked up
out of the sand unhurt aud brought away
a handful of shells for he mamma, who
was lying in dead faint. Her name was
Birdie and she came near flying off to be
an angel, but all Morehead seems glad
she didn't succeed.
