AN ECCENTRIC FUNERAL.
A Partisan Who Paid Two Francs Per
Head for Seven Thousand People to See
Him Buried.
london SPECTATOR

London Spectator
curious funeral was witnessed a day
or two ago in Paris. IL was attended by
the representatives, OF the Prefect OF the
Seine and the procession consisted of up
ward of seven thousand INDECENT persons Of
both sexes and all ages. 1t might have
been thought a philanthropist or a bene-
factor of the poor was being buried, but it
wa nothing Of the kind, the funeral being
that of an eccentric individual, and the
people attending it doing 50 at the rate of
two francs per head. TIL deceased-as has
been said-an eccentric character, grew
tired of living, and determined to hang him
self. Before doing this, however, he re-
venged himself on his heirs for certain
real or maginary wrongs by bequeath-
ing TO the Prefect of the Seine all his
property, amounting to some hundred
thousand francs. letter informing that
gentleman Of the circumstances was dis
patched TO the Prefecture, after which the
testator committed suicide. BY a clause
III his will be stipulated that the Prefect
should give his body decent funeral, that
the prayers of the church should be read
over it. and that it should be made known
that every poor person Of thu district in
which he resided who attended his funeral
would receive "a gratuty of two francs.
The Project executed scrupulously these
instructions, excepting SO far as the pray
ers of the church were concerned, the
church refusing them on the ground that
the defunct had committed suicide. The
family are intending 10 dispute the valid
ity Of the will, alleging the testatOr was
not sane when he drew IL up.

Downs

Representative John Downs from Peo-
ria, is confined to his home by sickness,
and as consequence the democrats are
short a good man We have heard so
much about Downs through the Peoria
papers, the Journal particularly, that we
expected great things of him as SO IN as
he got his legislative scat fully warmed
but in steps some ill~shaped disease and
puts him fiat on his back. Although his
sickness was unexpected, person who
has had his eyes "sot" on Peoria politics
willhardly wonder that Downs has brok,
en- down. The muse of poetry appears
to have full possession of his soul, and
every midnight would find him hard at
work grinding out verses which would APP
pear in the papers next day. Downs mem
tai faculties buoyed up by tlattering
encomiums from the press. finally DER
leaped themselves, and just as his talent
is needed by his party at Springfield, he is
Frustrated. Although not positive, we
think this is the cause Of Downs illness,
and if our verdict was asked in the mat
ter, we would lay most of the blame on
Eugene Baldwin. But in all seriousness
we trust that Downs will wrestle with the
aflliction that has permeated his frame,
and finally cast it from him

Completed

Mr.. II. C.. Wivill has returned from
Edgineton where he has been for several
days appraising the loss W. T. Boughton
X Son sustained by fire in their store on
Sunday night, Jan. 4th. Mr. Wivill was
chosen as appraiser by the Rhode Island
Underwriters association, Of Providence,
r. l., in which W. T. Boughton & Son
were insured, and the firm selected Mr.. J.
NJ Davis, of Edgington, to act for them.
Everything was satisfactorily appraised
until the drugs were reached. Mr.. Bough.
ton claimed they were Il total loss, but
Mir Wiyill could not see how that could
be possible, if rs is generally Supposed,
the glass shoppers are air tight. He called
T. HThomas of this city, who is as an cX.
pert, and Mr.. Thomas decided that the
drugs were all right.
The damages to the building were ap-
praised by Mr. A. c, Cavitl, of Edginge
ton, on behalf OF Messrs. B0ught0n and
ThOs. F. Cary, of this city, in behalf of
the insurance company, Messrs. Wivill
and Daviss appraised the damages TO the
merchandise at S139 IS, and Messrs.
Cavitt and Cary the damages to the
building at $50, making total Of S1SS.-
IS. The fire is supposed to have caught
from the stove, and although but little
damage was done by fire, the dense smoke
blackencd the walls and the merchandise
very badly.

A New Game.
Moline Republican.

Mr. J. W. War;, of the Western Plow
man, has invented new game which will
be sent out as a premium with that valu>
able monthly. 1t is d game of caIds
called the Flying Dutchman."
There are fifty>six cards, each one con-
tanning a letter and a number. Words
and combinations are made from these
cards, and when combinations are made
having a numerical value of fifty, the
player takes the Flying Dutchman, which
adds fifty to his count. This remains in
his possession until some other player
takes enough words from him to lower
his record below 100 when the Flying.
Dutchman "fies" to the player who has
taken his word. 1t will be seen by this
brief description that the players are kept
constantly spelling, adding and subtract~
ing, which makes the game most excel
lent mental discipline.
No doubt the.game will prove very in
teresting to all those who learn it, but it
puzzles us to know why it is called the
Flying Dutchman. Surely the author
could not be the dapper Cross who pre-
sides with such dignity on the fast "Fly>
ing Dutchman" on the c., NJ. & St. P.
road. But who knows that it is only a
scheme of his to advertise his train. If
Cross is really the author of this game We
feel that its success is assured, and before
many moons it will be all the rage in So
Getty circles.

A Race for a BRIDE.

1t isn't often that white men indulge in
a race for a wife, unless perhaps, the irate
paternal ancestor Of the fair damsel is
after an clipping couple. Among some
tribe of Indians it is the custom where
several young bucks are in love with
the same sQuaw to have race for her.
The object of the contest is mounted on a
fleet footed pony, and the warriors, also
on ponies chase her and the one captur-
ing her has her for his wife. 1t is related
that the dusky damsels of the boundless
prairies are not so far behind their pale
faced sisters in artfulness, and when a
warrior more favored than the Others
comes close up in the chase she does not
make any extraordinary efforts TO get
away from him.
Over in Davenport there was little
race for a wife yesterday which was
quite exciting while 1t lasted.
In the composing room of the Gazette
there has been employed for some time
handsome young lady named Miss
Mamie E. Shackley. She was dudine
Of the first water, and used to make the
bows hearts palpitate as she glided around
like swan at the skating rink. Many Of
the susceptible youths Of the ''mumm'
city became infatuated with the fair
comp, and wanted to "stick" to her,
but she ruled" them all out but two and
didn't know which of these to take. "
One went to Minneapolis, and the other
stayed in Davenport, and the latter hat>
tered himself that he had got the inside
track on his hated rival But there is
many slip between the upper lip and tin
cup, as subsequent developments will
show. Yesterday the Davenport dude
saw his hated rival on the street and at
once became excited. He rushed to the
Gazette composing room, and informed
the fair type sticker that the other fellow
was in town. She looked innocent and
surprised, and assured the Davenport
chap that she didn't care. This Gained
the illustrated youth, and he departed
with the air ola man who wanted cOn-
pie of more worlds to conquer. In the
meantime the Minneapolis youth had gone
to the county clerks office, and secured a
marriage license, and in the afternoon he
and the fair c0mpositor were married by
Justice Kramer, and last night they de
parted for Minneapolis. His name is
Louis J. Wilde. His father lives in north
ern Iowa, and last sumner sent him to
the Davenport Business college, but he
spent most of his time IN having fun with
the boys. He was employed for a while
on the Herald, and was ruled out of the
editorial room on account Of the over
abundance of perfume he daily poured on
himself The youth that got left is brac
ing his shattered nerves on settler.

SNOW BOUND TRAINS.
The Tough Experiences OF Railroad
Men When "The Beautiful" Falls
Too Notwithstanding the
SnOwbanks.

Railroad men expect to have all trains
running on time again on Monday.
The heavy snowfall of Thursday night
and yesterday has caused deal of trou-
BILE on the railroads. If there is one OBJ
stacle a railroad man hates on the road
more than another it Is snow, especially
when it is damp snow and liable to pack
All incoming trains on the roads CEN
tering here were behind time last evening
and this morning caused in many instances
by having to "buck" snowbanks. That
is, stop, back up, and run at the bank
full speed Then too, the tracks are coy
cred with frozen snow and besides being
hard to run upon they are very slippery.
The c., B. & Q. trains had hard times
to get through. The st. Louis passenger
train, due here at GAO o'clock. was four
hours late. This was caused partially by
the train waiting for connections with
eastern trains.
The Beardstown passenger and mail
train due here at 1910 a. m. did not ar>
rive until p m. 1t would not have been
more than half hour late, however, had
the train carry the Chicago mail been Oh
time at Monmouth.
On the c., NJ. Il St. P, road Conductor
McNanys train, due here at 5:15 n H.,
came in this morning only thirtyiiye
minutes late. Engineer Menzie pulled
through in good shape with the spark ar>
resting engine.
The Peoria road abandoned its freight
trains last night, but today everything is
moving again in satisfactory manner.
There is pretty bad drift near Prince
vile, and numerous other small drifts
along the road, but trains are making
comparatively good time.
The C. r. l. & P. trains due here from
Chicago at am, and els NJ. were
four to five hours behind time
The drifting snow last night filed all the
cuts on the roads more or less, and the
trains found great difficulty in getting
through. The east bound trains were also
away behind time. No. . was an houl
late and the cannon bail four hours be-
hind
The change Of time card on the c, b.
* Q. road lately, leaves two crews here
over Sunday, one i'll St. Louis and one in
Bushnell As the boys all live in this
city, it is more desirable to be here than
at the other end of the line The SUPER
intendent has issued orders that they
change about. With tomorrow Conduc-
tors Pollard and O'Bnen will be here four
Sundays, and the next four will fall to
Conductors Barber and Stanton.
