A Visitor,

Mr.. J. B. Barnes, OF the Peoria Daily
journal, graced the city with his presence
last evening. He came down from Du,
buque on the Josephine and tarried long
enough to see his friends and make new
acquaintance. Barnes is one of the
healthiest looking newspaper men we
have ever met, and withal is fine gen
tleman. His paper is phenomenal sue
cess, but Barnes ambition is not yet sat-
isfied. He has got into the habit of prints
ing four editions day, and in order to
do this without inconvenience has con-
tracted for Webb perfecting press,
which will take the place of his present
four cylinder. Truly, Barnes is a man of
no small calibre. u.

SENSATION AT MILAN.
Henry Fisher Finds His Wife in Com
pany with ID. j. Lafferty and
Raises q Row.

The usually quiet town of Milan was
stirred from center to circumference on
Saturday evening. by an affair in which
two men and one woman were concerned.
For some time past Henry Fisher has sus-
pected that his wife was untrue to her
marriage VOWS, and Saturday evening be-
came fully convinced that she was fol-
lowing false gods. Fisher arrived at this
conclusion by playing detective and shad-
owing his faithless spouse and her para
mour.
Shortly after dusk he noticed d. J.
Lafferty starting in the direction of his
Fsher's) house, and as he was the per-
son suspected of estranging his wife, Fish
er followed him. 1t is said that Lafferty
went direct to the house, and tapping on
the window, Mrs. F., appeared,
and the two started for a stroll.
Fisher logged their footsteps until
they hnally stopped on the bank oil ROCK
River east of Johnston's mill. Here he
came upon the couple in a compromising
position, and unable to contain his rage
longer, he rushed upon them and grab
bling Lafferty commenced to give him a
good drubbing. The lothario wanted to
apologize and settle matters amicably,
but Fisher would not listen to compro-
mise. Finally Lafferty broke away from
his Infatuated assailant, and has not since
shown his face.
Fisheris hard working, honest man
and swears by the caverns in the moon
that he will get redress from Lafferty.
As for his guilty wife, he proposes to en-
ter suit for divorce at once, as he does
not even wish his fair name associated
with that of hers.

Win Comet Dead,

Yesterday morning William N Comet,
son of Mr.. and Mrs: Joseph Comet, of
Riceville, Crawford county, Pa, died at
the residence of his brother>in>law, Maj
], NJ Beardsley, in this city The disease
that carried him away performed its de>
mission with remarkable rapid
ity. 1t was only two weeks previous to
the morning of his death that he con-
suited physician, coming up town to
see DIR. Plummer The weakness and
lassitude which pervaded his system, led
him to believe that he had an attack of
malaria. Bat he was soon dispelled of
his idea and became cognizsnt of the fact
that he was not long for this world. The
medical term OF his disease is anarmia
with exsanguinity, complication of dis
eases which destroyed his entire glandu,
lar system.
viii Comet was native of Rock ISL
and, having been born on Thirteenth
street between Second and Third ave-
nues, on January 4, 1851. He graduated
from the high school. and then attended
the Annapolis Naval academy. He was
bright scholar, and was looked upon as
one of our most intelligent young men.
After the completion of his education he
spent two years in the navy, cruising
on the coast of Africa and along the
Madeira islands, and also along
the Atlantic coast. From Jan
uary 1, 1880, to January /, 1885, he
served in the index department of the
secretary of states Office at Springfield
and became acquainted with many people
of the state He was liked for his &C,
commodating spirit and courtesy, anC
made many friends at the capitol. SiHct
the first of the year he has resided in thi:
city, with the intention of going to livt
with his parents in Pennsylvania thi
summer. Besides his father and mother
deceased leaves a sister, Mrs J. NJ
Beardsley, to mourn his loss.
