SHE Is A JEWELL.
The Deserted Black Diamond OF Milan
Pats the Officers on the Track
OF His Spouse.

The ARGUS of last evening contained an
account of the elopement of Mrs. Thomas
Jewell with barber named Gardner from
Milan. The account as given was true
and correct in every particular. The
guilty couple skipped out Thursday night
and the officers have been diligently at
work to obtain clue since. Today
Thomas Jewell, the deserted husband,
came into the city and informed the Off
GERS that his wife and Gardner were in
Galva. He had proof positive of the fact.
He at once swOre out warran. before
Justice Cooke for the arrest of
the couple charging them with ad-
ultry. 1t is no doubt well known
that Gardner is married and
has large family in this city. Jewell
claims that besides the crime of adultery,
which he hopes to be able to prove, the
couple stole from him $40 in hard earned
cash. Deputy Sheriff Silvis left for Galvs
this afternoon, and expects to bring the
couple in this evening on the Wild Irish
man. Jewell expresses determination
to prosecute his guilty wife and her para
mour to the bitter end, and if they are
captured which no doubt they will be, hi
| probably will.

Uncle" Billy Brooks writes us from
Groveton, N. H., that he is not yet read :
to come home. The fishing is so excel
lent that he cannot leave until he has
more sport. He reports catching seventy
six trout in one day, We never knew
Uncle Billy was such an angler From
the manner in which he is yanking the
fish out of the water, we fear that he will
considerably deplete the supply in the
eastern streams. But it does our hear
good to hear that Brooks is making rec

The Rodman Rifles lost the competitive
drill in Davenport last evening by one
point. Their only competitor was Com
pany B, of Davenport. 1t is a well known
and generally accepted fact that the Rod
man Rifles is the best drilled military
company hereabouts. Yesterday Com
pany B drilled first They did well and
had a good open space in which to per
form their tactics. When the Rodman
Rifles appeared they were such fine APP
pearing body of men that the people in
carriages crowded up around them to s et
them drill, and they seriously hinder ed
their maneuvers, which, however, were
very fine. When the judge figured up thu
scores it was found that Company B hat
729 points out of possible 1000, and the
Rodman Rifles 72S. Our boys submitted
gracefully to their defeat, fully knowing
that if they had fair show they coulc
beat company B in every military tactic
known Last evening the Rifles and 8
number of friends had banquet at thu
| Rock Island house.

organization of the uniformed ranks of
the Knights of Pythias and the Knights
over the river are celebrating it in great
style. An excursion of 300 people came
in from Galesburg and intermediate points
today to attend the celebration. There
were twenty members in the Myrtle d;vi>
sion, No. IS, of Galesburg, all hand
somely dressed in the costume peculiar to
that order They brought with them the
Abingdon and Galesburg consolidated
military band dressed in gorgeous fashion,
with red leather leggins, navy blue coat;
with the customary trimming, and nice
helmets The band is an excellent one
and discussed splendid music.
The members of the uniformed rank
wore nickle helmets with piumes, which
set their head gear off to perfection
Messrs. James Cozad and Charles Jones
of the uniformed rank of Davenport came
over and escorted the visitors over The
river. The uniformed rank of Princeton

Worried.

Congressman Neece appears to be both
ering the Union very much these days,
and it even criticiscs his movements while
in the city 1t claims that he stopped
with friend instead of putting up at one
of the hotels. This statement is untrue,
however, for on his two recent visits in
this city he stopped at the Harper house
the first time, and yesterday he was the
guest of the Rock Island house. We
mont know as it makes any difference
where Mr.. Niece stops while here. He
always manages to have pleasant chat
with his friends, and his presence is al
ways welcome, We think the Union will
have little trouble in locating him after
November especially when congress is in
session.

Adolph Horne. A jury was empanneled,
composed of Dr. G. G. Craig, foreman;
Geo. W. Henry, Burt Rodman, Phil Mil
Ter, A. C Miller and J. R. Harricks. The
four men brought up had never been ex
amined in an official manner, and it was
necessary they should be, in order that
they might be admitted into the Kanka-
kee asylum. Each one was tried, and
the Jury listended to the testimony Of
Mr.. Robertson, the superintendent Of the
poor farm, and DR.. Huyett In one case
Deputy County Clerk Kohler acted as in.
terpreter The jury decided that each Of
the persons examined were proper sub,
iects for confinement at Kankakee, and
the judge entered an order to that effect
in each case.

Bad News.

County Treasurer John f. Fleming has
written to his deputy, Capt Burg,
that Mrs Fleming is in a very serious
condition. She went to Colorado some
time ago hoping that her health might be
benefited by the change in climate, but
her GRAND has proven fruitless. Mr.
Fleming met her in Denver, and together
they went up into the mountains and the
light air instead of making the patient
feel better has had contrary effect.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fleming are expected home
next week.
