Macom6 Edgie: We are amused to
notice that several republican aud quasi
republican organs in Rock Island county
are already discussing the popularity of
Congressman Niece One Of the dog
berry organs attempts to show that Mr.
Niece should have supported IA Rock ISL
aud man for collector, aud by not doing so
he missed golden opportunity for pop
ularizing himself among the people of
that portion Of the district. The same
organs last fall proclaimed that Mr.. Neece
hod made himself unpopular with the peo-
pie on account Of that bridge business.
We are glad that the Rock Islald growl
ers have already commenced to find fault
with our congressman. We have Obscrv-
ed that the more such fellows abuse him.
the better the people of that community
like him.

REPUBLICAN national platforms from
1856 to 1884 always contained ringing
resolutions in favor of preserving the
public domain for actual settlers. Re
publican congresses, however, squan
dered the public domain in huge grants
to speculative corporations; and recen:
republican administrations have been so
lax that large tracts have been fenced in
by cattlemen and foreign capitalists with.

against these latter that President Cleve

Mrs. Mary A. Daley, of Tunkhannock,
Pa, was afflicted for six years with Asth
ma and Bronchitis, during which time the
best physicians could give no relief Her
life was despaired of, until in last October
she procured a bottle of DR.. Kings New

felt, and by continuing its use for a short
time she was completely cured, gaining in
flesh 80 pounds, in few months.

Hook and Hose.

The Moline Volunteer fire department
had its annual parade and picnic Saturday
The review occurred on Sixteenth street
between Fourth and Sixth avenues, where
the aldermanic body gave them the usual
inspection, noting the condition of hook
and hose, and the appearance of the de>

and passed over the following line of
march: South on Sixteenth street to
Sixth avenue. east on Sixth avenue to
Eighteenth street, then north to Third
avenue, west on the avenue to Eighth
street, then south to Fourth avenue, west
to Third street, north to Third avenue

north to Sylvan Island where the picnic
is being held. Several visiting companies
from Galesburg, Monmouth and Lyons,

as Maxwell's. The only time the name had
been heard of before was at the Frisco
ticket-office, under which cognomen Max
we'll purchased his ticket to San Francisco
It had also been discovered written on the
back of leather matchbox found
among Maxwelrs effects The cor
oner consulted with Chief Harrigan and
decided not to make the discovery public,
fearing that it would result in the escape of
Maxwell, as he might set up the defen-e in
Auckland that the corpse marked Al. M.
Brooks" could not be Preller Further ex
animation of the drawers showed they were
much too small for Preller and had been
pulled hastily ON the body and We're torn in
several places from the tension, and were of
different material from the drawers found
in Preller's baggage. From this evidence
deduction is clear Maxwell stripped the
body and then started to dress it in
suit of his (Alaxwell's) clothes He first
put the drawers on, but finding it hard work
quit and placed the body in a trunk with
the intention of shipping it to sRe point
where it would be found and buried as
''Hugh NJ Brooks" The rapid decomposi-
ton of the body alone prevented him from
carrying out his plan Communication from
London, some months ago stated that
Brooks was the real name of Maxwell. Why
he should desire to dress the body in suit
of his own mdercl tines marked with his
own name is another puzz.e in this puzZtmg
case.

LORD COLERIOGE MARRIED.


The flair Causes Considerable Sensation
in London.
LONDON, Aug. Il. Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge was privately married Saturday
to Miss Amy Augusta Jackson Lawfori,
the young American lady whose acquaint-
ance he made on board the steamer
on which he returned from his recent
visit 60 the United States. A special
license for the marriage had been ap-
piled for and granted on the 10th instant,
Although not wholly unexpected, the mar.
riage has created a great social sensation in
London. 1t is reported that the chief jus
tice was compelled under threat Of legal pro
ceedings to wed the lady. She had, it i
said. given him to understand chat un-
less he fulhl!el his promise suits
for heavy damages would be begun
at an early day 1t was in order to
avoid scandal and heavy pecunary
loss-tho latter more particularly, perhaps,
inasmuch as he is quite parsimonious-th that
the chief justice finally con-ented to wed
Miss Lawford. Rumor has it that Lord
Coleridge's daughter, who recently married
Barrister Adams in spite of birth and pa
rental opposition, is now upbraiiing her
father for bringing disgrace upon the fam
lily by marrying an American lady.
