A TRuANT WIFE.

John Radford, resident of Rapids
City, came to Rock Island this mornin 9
on an expedition of a peculiar nature, and
tells story that scores a sensation for
the usually quiet little town up the river
Up to few days ago Radford supposed
he was possessed of wife that would be
faithful TO her marriage VOWS, but now
the glaring truth stares him in the face,
and tells him that she is false. just two
weeks ago to day, Mrs Radford left home,
ostensibly for the purpose of visiting
friends in Iowa, and the husband gave
his wife $50 to bear the expenses of the
trip A brother in law of Radfords, who
was boarding with him, left at the same
time, and the duped husband has since
discovered that the two fled together TO
Gardner, H., where it is supposed they
are living in an unlawful manner His
brother-in-law has only recently arrived
from Wales, and is the father of a large
family, who will doubtless not be elated
over his escapade here. When Radford
was seen this morning, he had blood in
his eye, and vowed vengence on the
guilty pair, especially the man who had
robbed Lin of his heretofore faithful wife

extended it hesitatingly with CULVER in

er's murderer last evening at 7:30 He
shot four times, but one of all the balls
taking effect, Dukes died instantly
Dukes has been frequently warned of his
danger in remaining in Uni0ntOwn, and he
lately said he would either stay there OF
in the cemetry. 1t is said that he had
expressed fear of the son of Capt Mutt.
and was never on the street after daylight.
To-day James Mutt was seen practicing
with a revolver at home, and this evening
about 7:30 he was standing near the post
office when Dukes came along.
As Dukes was passing he turned his
head and noticed young Mutt Just as be
stepped from the doorway and fired, the
shot taking effect in Dukes side Dukes

The murder which led to the tragedy
of tonight is still fresh in the minds o.
all. Dukes. who was engaged to Mis-
Lizzie Mutt. had written infamous letter:
TO her father, Capt. A. c. Mutt, question
ing her chastity. Capt Mutt, upon the
invitation of Dukes had gone to Dukes

With Pen and Pencil,

mo. sir; l don't believe newspaper men are
more dissipated than any other class of men who
earn their living by their brains,n said Mr. A. H.
Siegfried, Manager of the Advertising Department
of the ST. Paul Pioaeer-Press. Still, those Of them
who do desk work are tempted to stimulate it's
very hard on the nerves and stomach "
''As for example,"
As for example, in my own case, stuck TO M
desk on this paper until my nerves were like a
bunch of telegraph wires after a gale, and my
stomach kept about as good time as two-dollar
watch. My friends suggested this and the doctors
advisedthat but one day caught on to an 'ad OF
PARKER's Tonic, and tried it. have never en-
dorsed proprietary medicine before. but l shall
depart from my rule and say that the Tonic is not
merely the best thing but the only thing that
breaks up these attacks. All desk-workers should
make a note of it."
This preparation, which has been known as PAR
KER's GINGER Tonic, will hereafter be advertised
and sold simply under the name of PARKER's Toxic
As unprincipled dealers are constantly deceiving
their customers by substituting inferior articles
under the name of ginger, and as ginger is really
an unimportant ingredient, we drop the mislead-
ing word.
There is no change, however, in the preparation
itself, and all bottles remaining in the hands Of
dealers, wrapped under the name of Parker's Gin
ger Tonic, contain the genuine medicine if the
facsimile signature of HIscox & Co. is at the bot
tom of the outside wrapper.

THE NEW BOAT.

Mr. F. L. Johnston, of st. Louis. man.
ager of the Saints Line of steamboats,,
wrote to Mr.. Bart E. Linehan, few DAYS
ago, says the Dubuque Herald, asking if
he had in any way compromised himself
or the company about the name of the
new steamboat which would be ready to
start out on the Goth inst, as he at one
time had requested its name, and which
was about decided to be Key City. The
citizens of St Paul having taken active
measures to name her after their enter
prising city, it was yesterday SO decided.
The St. Paul folks will present her with a
stand of colors and piano. She is one
of the finest steamers that has ever run on
the Mississippi, and if we had only exert
ed ourselves in time, we could have had
the name. She is almost duplicate OF
the famous Gem City.

While Wrestling with Fallen Tree Lum
herman Receives Consequential
Damage

While on Il hunting excursion in the great coal
and wood region near Carbondale Pa the writer
met William Coil, lumberman. Accustomed to
life and labor in the forest from early manhood he
was true knight Of the Axe Many a tree had
fallen before his ringing strokes and fleets of RATS
had borne away to market the sawed products.
Coil is a character and if Oscar Wilde is right in
saying that all movements in unhndered labor are
graceful our friend William stripped for his ork
and attacking a tree as Richard L. assaulted the
heavy doors Of Front de Bpuf's Castle, must have
presented an admirable picture.
One day, however-but let him tell the story
himself as he told it TO me:
