STILL Bal,oting.

The soldiers home commission spent
another day in the unsuccessful effort to
agree upon location for the proposed
home. A number of ballots were taken,
but without result. 1t was authoritativelv
said that Quincy and Decatur received
three votes on several ballots, but the
fourth and deciding vote was not given,
and consequently no choice was made.
1t is rumored that the railroads have been
using their influence with the commission,
and to some purpose, and that it would
not surprise the knowing ones if either of
the two localities mentioned above was
finally selected. Gen. M. II. NJ Wallace
is reported as having changed his vote
from Rockford, his former choice and as
casting his ballot for Quincy yesterday
If this is true and it is correct that Quincy
had three votes without him when the
commission last met in this city, it would
appear that one of the former champions
of that locality had changed his mind.
The delegates from Springfield, Elmwood,
and other localities have become disgust>
| ed with the delay and uncertainty attend
ant upon the actions of the commission,
and have returned to their homes. Rock
Island still remains, and II few adherents
of Decatur and Quincy yet haunt the cor
ridors of the hotels. Those who profess
TO know announce confidently that de
clsion will be reached before the commits
sioners eat their Thanksgiving tur-
key, but to confirm that report result
must be arrived at today. The commits,
sion was to have met last evening, but
the inducements offered by Chicago the,
aires were too great to be withstood, and
an adjournment was taken until o'clock
this morning. Chicago Times 25th inst.

The Race at the Rink.

A large audience was present at the
rink last evening to witness the $50 race
between Bromley and Watt and the cham.
pion, L. J. Gamble. The conditions were
the same as of the previous contest, Watt
and Bromley to skate two and one half
miles each in turn while Gamble skated
five. The start was made by Gamble and
Watt, the latter getting lead II the first
place, which he retained until the cham
pion got down to work and went to the
front, remaining so until Watt retired and
Bromley took the field. Gamble seemed
an easy victor, when in the last lap he

SINGULAR SUICIDE.
An Elderly Woman Seeks a Watery
Couch in the Lower End OF
the County.

A strange suicide occurred on the shore
of the Mississippi in Drury township yes
terday morning. An elderly lady had
crossed the Mississippi on the ferry there
from Muscatine. Upon embarking on
this side il was noticed on the boat as it
pushed off, that the woman, instead of
starting off for some destination, was
walking in an aimless manner about the
shore, and she was watched with some
interest. On the boat returning to Illi-
nois about 1890 the woman was discov-
cred on the shore some two hundred yards
above the landing, and apparently en-
gagged in scooping sand into shawl
which hung about her neck, and then into
the lap of her dress. Suddenly she
Strengthened up and walked directly into
the river. Reaching depth nearly to her
neck she bowed herself and disappeared
beneath the current. Before this last
tragical act Capt. Eaton, of the ferry,
had begun to suspect the intent of his
late passenger and was crowding on all
possible steam. On reaching the landing
some hands seized the hook and made
haste to the spot where she was last seen.
Wading into the water they discovered
the body and hurried with it to the shore.
The poor woman gave only cash, on
being raised from the water, and it was
the last of life. On laying the body upon
the shore it was plain that life was ex'
tinct.
The body was borne to the ferry boat,
where it was soon identified as the remains
of Mrs. Annie Katrine Beck, a woman
6S years of age, who came to this country
from HassesCassel, Germany, last April
on visit to her daughter, Mrs. Hoppe,
and her son, Fred Beck, at Muscatine.
She was an intimate acquaintance of the
Kruger family in Drury township. She
has manifested peculiar symptoms of
late, but her folks attributed it to home
sickness. A day or two ago, she became
so singular in her conduct that the family
| felt it necessary to watch her. Last Fri
day night she babe them all good bye,
with the evident feeling that she would
never see them again, but was apparent
ly well the next day. Among her pecu'
liarites was her refusal to wear new I'M
derc clothing and dresses presented to her,
saving she ould have little use for them
and did not wish to spoil them as second
hand apparel She has had little appe-
tite the last few days. and her actions
were so unnatural that the family have
felt it necessary to lock her apartment al
night.
She was taken to Muscatine and the
Inquest held there. although the coroner
of this county should have held it.

our style. Well. we are glad they don't
it will prolong our life and make us much
happier if we never see Them the world
and Rock Island will wag without them.
Why, I've actually heard people say they
would not buy of Knell simply because he
was such pushcr and doomed trade, no
matter if it was dull. However, they gen
orally come for all that and buy from us.
Why? Simply because they know that
they can save money and get better as
sortment to select from. If l can't sell
patent chairs to the inhabitants of des-
ert island, l can yet sell furniture to a
great many very pleasant customers at
prices that other dealers can not tumble
to.
But there was Mr.. Blinks, he thinks he's
so smart. OF course nothing suits him
that's his game from the start. And he
winks at his wife so cute on the sly. AS
much as to say you can't fool me if you
try. Over the creek everything is sold so
cheap. And all that he buys is counted
up in heap, When he gets back he
only blows about the bargain he got.
But don't say word how he got gulled
on the lot. Oh no, not on a lounge would
he dare to lie. For that wouldn't do in

at heart for the success of this town.
