BEFORE '45.
The SOciable of the PiOneers'-'An
Amendment Voted Down.

The exercises of the Old Settlers society
and the sociable which annually follows
the transferring of the treasured cane, the
emblem of office, by the retiring to the
incoming president, occurred at Arnory
and Turner halls last evening. The att
tendance was not what it should have
been, but the young people, friends of the
old settlers, increased the goodly number
of old timers to quite crowd.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
John Lusk. the newly elected president,
at about 6 o'clock, after which Mr. E. p.
Reynolds, the retiring president, in a
short speech, happily framed, turned over
his staff of Office to Mr. Lusk, who re-
piled in like manner.
The death list for the past year was
read by ex>President Reynolds. who fol-
lowed the reading by remarks in regard
to the departed ones. DR.. Bowman, of
Andalusia, Alonson Sinnet, and others
also spoke of the depletion of the ranks of
the society.
The death list was as follows: Febru-
airy, 1SS4-Greer Stanley, 29d March
Martha Monroe. 10th, Jane Brasher, 18th,
Samuel Bender, Gath; April. B. Hor >
ner 25th Jared Cool; Maya X. Phil

David CIPHER, Hale Tenney; January,
1885 john Williamson, Daniel McEnary,
D. F. Kinney; February Thomas Brit
tingham, Sd, Mr. Calbert Mrs Winthrop.
A resolution on the death of A. X. Phil
leo, an eS>president of the society, was
adopted as follows:
ReS0Loed, That In the death of our for
mer permanent secretary, A. X. Philleo
we deeply feel his loss and tender our
heartfelt sympathies TO his afflicted fam.
| hy. He was kind husband and father
and very efficient officer of the Old Set
tiers, and good and honorable citizen.
A resolution to make the date 1855, be-
fore which settlement in this county must
have been made TO secure eligibility TO
membership, was warmly contested. The
constitution provides that an amendment
must be made in writing and lay over
until the next annual meeting, and this
point of order was raised, but an amend
ment to have the constitutional amend~
ment brought up at the next meeting was
offered, but voted down by decided ma
jority.
The supper spread in Turner hail was
an elaborate affair and partook of by
nearly sixty couples of old and young
people. An adjournment was then had
to Armory hail, where the hours flew by
with murcurial swiftness, while the young
settlers, and not few old ones. enjoyed
themselves with dancing.

The Qama Of Polo.

The Galesburg polo club, consisting of
twelve members, ranging in age from IA
TO %, gave an exhibition of the game Of
polo at the rink last evening, which
showed the possibilities of science and
agility in playing the game.
Sides were chosen. the goals placed
about six feet broad, at each end, the
ball placed in the center and the signal
given for the commencement of the game.
At the signal rush was made by one
person from each side to reach the ball
first, and send it to the opposite goal.
Meantime the other players scattered, ex>
cept two. who renamed to guard the
goal, and another, an advance guard, who
played about fifteen feet in front.
For twenty minutes there was most
exciting scene, the players moving like
lightning and the ball being sent to all
parts of the hall by the crooked sticks
held by each player. all efforts were d.
re cted toward propelling the ball through
the goal at the adyersaries' end.
Two of the players exhibited particular
skill in coaxing, sometimes running the
gauntlet of three players, by quick knocks
aside to avoid the sticks of opponents.
At last a well directed knock sent the ball
between the goal posts and the six on the
west side of the rink scored one. Sides
were then changed, the ball placed in the
middle of the floor again and the fun re.
commenced at signal from the referee
Prof. Mcdonald, of Davenport, The sec,
ond round was not finished owing to the
lateness of the hour.
Time was called three times during the
evening and the ball was put down where
it lay when the whistle blew for time. A
player from each side then placed the
crook Of his stick against the ball and al
the signal to play made an effort to send
the ball towards the opposite goal. The
quckness and skill used al these times
was wonderful
Altogether it was a fine entertainment
free from roughness, although how they
escaped hitting each other was a frequent
cause for remark. One of the players die
get crack on the shins which made him
dance a little, but no harm was done.

Water Circulation.

Superintendent Kerr, of the water
works, says he has been unusually fortu-
nate this winter with the water system in
avoiding the freezing of pipes. Not a
main in the city has frozen thus far. The
freezing of service pipes has happened
frequently as usual, but, of mains, never
This freedom from freezing is due to the
fact that an active circulation is main
tanned at all times, throughout the city,
Private consumers, where necessity oc>
Cured, have been instructed to let the
water flow all the time. This results in
q greater consumption of fuel than usual,
but otherwise, if main should freeze,
the expense incurred in repair would he
much greater, and there is a consequent
saving to the city.

A COLD WINTER.
An Old Settler has Something 10 Say.

The almost unprecedented 1--WE would
leave out the almost if the old settlers
had not held their meeting yesterday and
settled the question to the contrary Geld
weather still holds sway 1t has now con-
tinued nearly a month and there seems no
present prospect for thaw. This is the
thirtyfourth morning this winter that the
mercury has been below zero. This is an
undeniablc fact, and if any year since
this region was settled can show IKE
record we would like the veteran Eli Per-
kits of the vicinity to come forward and
prove the fact
It's acknowledged that no year since
1913 has equealed this, but some of the old
timers think that the winter of 1S42-43
witnessed a spell of cold which outlasted
this. One such gentleman says at that
time the cold weather commenced
on the 10th o: November and didn't let up
until January when there was thaw.
In the third week in March, 1913, Col.
Davenport's thermometer on the island,
which was considered the best in this 10
cality, wouldn't mark low enough for the
weather The snow which fell early in
November did not melt until January and
in the middle of the month several men
standing on the old Rock Island house
steps saw something green about thirty
rods away. An examination showed that
it was some long green grass, where the
wind had blown the snow off The grass
was covered and protected by the snow
before it died in the fall The ice was
measured in the river when it went out in
March that year and found to lack but
one inch of being four feet in thickness.
This is Renaissance told by one of our
Oldest and most respected citizens and
deserves recognition as authoritative on
the subject.

COLD BLOODED MURDER.
EdgingtOn Excited Over Foul MURDER
Committed there Last Night.--
The Murderer Still
at Large.

For several years a bitter feud has ex>
listed between Pat McDermott and his
brother>in-law, Dan Daugherty. McDer>
mott married Daugherty's sister and for
SOME unknown reason they have been
deadly enemies Overa year ago Daugh-
erty went to Kansas where he lived until
about three months ago, when he returned
to Edgingtsn. While he was absent, Nc
Dermott made threats that he would go
ont there and kill Daugherty.
For some unaccountablc reason when
Daugherty returned McDermott and he
became suddenly very friendly and even
intimate. They went together and showed
no signs Of i'll will toward one another.
Daugherty had considerable money when
he returned which he spent freely.
Yesterday the two went to Reynolds
nolds and got keg of beer, which they
took to McDermotts house. McDermott's
wife and man named Tom Wood were
present when they returned and all sat
| down, while MeDermott, saying he would
get a faucet, went to the cupboard in an
other room, secured revolver, returned
aud deliberately aimed at Daugherty, be-
tween his wife and Wood, and fired.
The bail entered Daugherty's right side,
an inch to the right of the left nipple,
passed downward and toward his left
side, lodging somewhere near his back.
Daugherty was able to get up and walk to
his home, one hundred rods away, where
he was accompanied by his sister, but in
about two hours he expired The wound
did not bleed externally but the ball pass
ed through the left lung, causing internal
bleeding from which he smothCred to
death.
McDerm0tt mounted a horse and fled
from the place and has not, as yet, been
captured, although vigilant search is
being made for him. He was always a
tough customer and drinking character,
while Daugherty was comparatively harm
less. No effort will be spared to discover
the whereabouts of McDermott, as the
indignation at his fiendish deed is great
Coroner Halves went out to Eigington
this morning to hold an inquest over the
remains Of Daugh crty.
