MasSa nh11enf.ta

A husband in Massachusetts,
whipped his wife, who employed a law
yer to prosecute him. Then he took
proceedings against her on the charge
of common drunkenness, and she en-
gagged the same counsel to defend her.
This lawyer sued the husband for the
value of his services relying upon the
rule of law that husband is liable for
"necessaries'' supplied TO his wife. The
Supreme Court accepted this view so far
as pay for defense was concerned, but
ruled that the charge for prosecuting
the husband could not be allowed.

AN EXPLANATION NECESSARY

There is good deal of comment on the
streets, as to the peculiar record Super
visor Werlich, of Moline, has made on
the location of the hospital for the insane,
In opposition to the interests of his i'm
mediate constituents, he assumed the
most extreme attitude in favor of locating
the new building on the poor farm, and
did everything within his power to defeat
its location between Rock Island and
Moline or their vicinity There seems to
be some wonderful cohesion between
Supervisor Werlich and Steward But
man, of the poor farm. We under
stand on two items alone, in
purchases for provisions and food
for the stock on the poor farm, the
enormous amount of about ten thousand
dollars has been expended over and above
the purchases made by Steward Bailey,
for the same number of months And for
the purpose of investigating and getting
at this lavish expenditure of money, Su
pervisor, Warnock, of Rock Island
moved the appointment of a special
committee of three to investigate
the situation on the poor farm and
report at thecoming December term of
the meeting of the board. But the
strangest point in the whole situation was
the appointment of Mr.. Werlich as one of
the three to investigate these heavy dis
bursements, by Mr. Heath, the chairman
of the board of supervisors. Mr.. Werlich
if he will tell all he knows, can no doubt
throw good deal of light on this ques-
ton. but instead of calling him
as witness, the chairman of
the board conveniently makes
him one of the jury. Perhaps the chair
man of the board has some good reason
for this strange selection, and if he has
| the people of this county would be glad to
hear what his explanation is. Another
singular point was developed Immediately
after the board adjourned yesterday after
noon. Steward Butman was invisible
during the whole day. INN ediately after
the adjournment, however, he ''bobbed up
serenely" and he and chairman Heath
were observed on the back streets, where
they were not likely to be seen, in close
consultation. Why should there be SO
much secrecy in their consultations? Does
Chairman Heath know anything about
the extra ten thousand dollars expendi-
ture?

programme has been arranged. III the

Robert Porter, of Davenport, and Gray

city. A. W. Burners George W, Jr., and
Fl. V, Padfields Chestnut Boy will trot in
the 2:94 race. George w. Jr., will also
trot in the $40 class. 1t is more than
probable that the Rock Island horses will
get their share of the prizes, as Mr.. Pad
fields horses are very fine trotters, and
George W. Jr., is full of speed and hard
horse to beat when he is in condition,

inquire into the matter. The engine (No.

Cal Platt, from whom ! learned that the
locomotive had been the means of causing
the death of several people, and only last
spring run over and killed a man near
Portland. The side which has run over
the bodies keeps up constant groaning,
and means like a human being in distress.

SOLDIERS REUNION.
Preparations Being Made for Great
Time in Davenport Next
Week.

The soldiers reunion which is to take
place in Davenport next week, promises
to be grand affair, and the committees
are making every preparation possible to
make the affair a success, Distinguished
visitors will be present TO lend dignity 20
the occasion, and speakers of national
reputation, to edify the spectators.
Among those whose attendance is assured
are Gen W. W. Belknap, ex secretary Of
war, and Gen. John A. Logan. In add
ton to these, committee consisting of
W. T. Dittoe, Edward Russell, II. B.
Sudlow and DR.. J. E. Stevens, was dis
patched last evening to secure, if possible
by earnest exertions the presence of Gen.
Phil H. Sheridan, with at least portion
of his staff, and it is altogether probable
that renowned warrior will respondto the
entreaties.
There will. too, be large numbers of
Posts OF the Grand Army, among them,
doubtless, those from Peoria, Cambridge,
Galva, Elmwood, Geneseo, Rock Island
and Moline, in Illinois, and representa-
tons from all the Posts in Eastern Iowa.
Col Robinson, of the Sd Veteran Yolun-
teers, of De Witt, promises six hundred
men; Col. Robertson, 1st Regular Veteran
Volunteers, of Muscatine, telegraphs that
from six hundred to eight hundred of his
command will also be here, ard other
companies of infantry, artillery, and cav
airy. The bray of martial music will re-
sound from bands almost without number,
the committee on arrangements having
already secured over dozen first class
brass bands and an equal number of
martial bands, to appear in the procession.
A sham battle and grand procession viii
also take place. Tents will be erected ON
the fair grounds for the accommodation
of thousands of men. Artillery will boom.
flags will wave, the military bands will
play, and general blow out will be had.

NOTABLE EXAMPLE OF PUBLIC SPIRIT

The Springfield Register has the follow
ing to say of Moline's enterprisiug and
well-Rnown company:
The John Deere company, of Moline,
ILL.,, is one OF the largest establishments
in the country engaged in the manufac-
ture of agricultural implements. The
company has always been noted for the
superior quality of the farm machinery
manufactured, and the enterprise of the
managers has been rewarded by a trade
that is not bounded by the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. This public spirited
company, in order to contribute to the
success of the Illinois state fair, the great
industrial exposition of the state, and to
give their employees a pleasant trip to
Chicago, propose to take their workmen
to the state fair
The preparations being made at Chi
cogo, leave no room to doubt that the
display, in all the departments of the fair,
viii largely exceed that of any fair or ex-
position ever held in this country. The dis
play of agricultural machinery at the Iii
nois state fair, in extent and quality, will
be without precedent, and all the latest
improvements in farm implements will be
on exhibition.
The advantage TO the Deere company
of having their workmen spend couple
of days examining all the new inventions
cannot be computed, while the interest
manifested by the managers in their en-
ployes in providing such grand excur-
sion will pay the proprietors many times
the expense Of the trip in more faithful
and intelligent service. The find band
composed of the workmen will accompany
the expedition. A special train, over the
Chicago, Milwaukee g. ST. Paul road has
been chartered to transport the operatives
of the Deere company, which number
over five hundred 1t will take long
train to accommodate five hundred work
men and their families.
Some of our local manufacturers would
not make mistake by following the ex
ample Of the Deere company, and giving
their operatives q chance to attend the
county fair. now In successful operation.
