SUBURBAN SIFTINGS.

Coal VALLEY, Nov. 3rd.
The democratic rally came off in this
place on Saturday evening, 1t was a very
comforting surprise to the indomitable
democrat, as well as to the independent
reformer. There was one of the most
brilliant Examinations that has ever been
witnessed here at any former time. The
torch light procession exceeded eXpecta>
lions. The people were in perfect ecstacies
over the occasion. The Rural club came
with banners and the stars and stripes
with quite q number of legal voters in
line carrying torches The Milan band,
twelve in number, led the procession with
strands of should stirring music. The pro
cessien formed in front of Moellers hall
and marched through the principle streets,
and it is given up by all candid minds that
they did the best marching-to be anna
teurs-of any that have appeared here in
line during this campaign. About SIS
O'Clock the train arrived with the speakers,
Messrs. August Huesing, John Kenwor~
thy and M. M. Corbett. They were met
at the train by George Hitler and J S
lass, reception committee.
The meeting was held in Krupp's hall .
1t is large and spacious, and was filled to
overlooking, being insufficient to accom-
MEDIATE only part of the crowd. The
speakers were to address both in German
and English, thus causing a general turn
out of the honest citizens from Fader
land. By agreement, Mr.. Huesing made
the first address in German, and the
! others followed The speakers were in
troduced by the chairman of the Cleve-
land and Hendricks club, and Mr.. Hues>
| ing was listened to with the strictest at
tention As that language is not under
stood by English people. we cannot tell
what he said, but from the expressions of
their countenance, the Germans were very
well pleased with the remarks, as Mr.
Huesing is known to be very sound and
well posted on the issues of the day. At
the conclusion he was most heartily
cheered. He spoke about one hour.
John KenwOrthy followed He opened
by calling for three cheers for Cleveland
and Hendricks. which were responded to
IN q most lively style. Mr.. Kenwor-
worthy reviewed the record of the repub-
lican party, showing its extravaganza
how it was overtaxing the people; how il
pretended to be for reform in its platform,
and in its practice only rlveted the chains
tighter on the laboring man and mechanic
by fostering monopolies. He was cheered
often and with will during the whole
time Of the delivery of his speech Oul
old friend Corbett followed in conclusion
He could not be heard for some time on
account of the applause, but after qutet
was restored he proceeded, being quite
hoarse at first, but soon his voice began
to be clear and he commenced to enter
tain the audience. Wishing to conclude
the cry was still 90 on, go on, so he
cited Mr.. Burchard's address to Blaine in
New York, that the democratic party was
composed of "Rum, Romanism and Re-
bellion" He showed up the Hooking
Valley stock, where he gave laborers 81
cents day and mechanics 81. After the
band played there was endless cheering
for Cleveland and Hendricks, Harrison,
Niece and the county ticket.

HORRIBLY BURNED.
A Servant Girl gets too near a Hot
Steve with a Bottle of BenZine,
and it Ignites and Burns Her
Terribly.
Her Brave Rescuers also Receive Pain
fnl Burns.

There was a horrible accident at the
residence of Mr.. Morris Rosenfield at 7:30
a. m. today. Miss Lizzie Walstrom, a
servant girl in the family, sat down be-
side warm stove to clean ajersey jacket.
She had bottle of benzine which she
was using. In the operation of cleaning
the jacket the vapor of the benzine was
attracted to the hot stove unnoticcd by
the young lady, and suddenly without the
slightest warning, there was flash and
she was enveloped in flames and her cloths
ing was on fire She screamed in agony
and terror, and Mr. Rosentield rushed to
her rescue from an adjoining room. He
grasped the terrified girl and hastily Sc
curing some heavy cloth, wrapped it
around her Mrs Rosentield also came
to the rescue of the suffering victim and
the couple at last succeeded in cxtin>
gushing the flames. The poor girl had
been almost blinded from the start and
her intense sufferings made her almost
crazy. She was placed in bed and DR..
Gait was summoned The doctor soon
responded to the summons and made an
examination of the injuries of the victim
of the accident He found that she had
been terribly burned from the waist up
ward Her face was badly burned Both
of her hands, her arms, both sides and
her breast were barned in q shocking
manner. She was suffering the greatest
agony. The doctor at once applied the
proper remedies, and the victim was
somewhat relieved, though still suffering
considerable pain. She did not inhale any
of the flame
Mr. Roscnfeld's hands were badly
burned in his efforts to eXtinguish the
flames that developed the young lady.
His wounds were dressed and he will be
confined to his home for some time. Mrs
RoSenfeld was also slightly burned on the
hands.
As soon as Miss Walstroms wounds
were properly dressed she was conveyed
to her home on Seventeenth street DIR
Gait is not able at present to say whether
the young lady will recover or not Her
| condition is serious and if she does recov-
er it will be s long time before she will be
able to get around again. This accident
should prove warning to people to keeE
away from the heat with henZinc or Gas
Oline.

Messrs. Bum, Phillip & Wilson, the
directory publishers, have about COM
pleted their canvass of Moline for their
new directory. Their canvass has been
thorough and-complete, and very cor
rect and reliable directory of Moline will
be the result. Mr.. Wilson is an old resi-
dent of Moline, and knows everyone in
the city, therefore his services have proven
invaluable. The canvass of Rock Island
South Rock Island and Milan will be none
the less careful and thorough than that
which has characterized the work in Mo-
line. Messrs. Bum, Phillip & Wilson
propose to give the people of Moline,
South Moline Rock Island, South Rock
Island and Milan one of the finest, cheap
est, handsomest and most complete and
correct directories that has ever been
seen in this city or in the tri>cities. Our
business men should remember that in
patronizing this firm they are really pat>
ronizing home institution, because the
printing and book binding of Messrs.
Bum, Phillip & Wilson's directory is to
be done in our midst. They believe in
patronizing home industries, and their
efforts to give the citizens of the twin cities
and Milan good directory should be lib
orally and substantially encouraged.
Messrs. Bum and Wilson will call upon
our business men within few days, and
they should receive favorable considera>
ton.

The Humpba ok Crossings

Alderman Bennett suggested at the
regular meeting of the city council last
evening that the iron gutter crossings be
recast and laid nOwn fiat. Alderman
Sinnett promptly put a stop to any ex~
tended remarks about the crossings by
saying that there was no money to be
used for such purpose. Some one
thought the unexpcnded emergency fund
might be used, but as the recastns of the
iron crossings isn't an emergency to any
great extent, that little idea was also
knocked into a cooked hat Therefore
the handsome and substantial iron cross
ings will remain right where they are in
definitely.
