What we Wanted, but Lost.

Not long since great interest was mani
Tested in the Soldiers and Sailors home
that is to be erected this coming spring.
When Quincy was selected as its site this
interest grew less in sections that had
made application for the institution.
However the home still has its prospects
and bids fair to be in process of erection
soon, aud an abiding place tor hundreds
of disabled veterans at no distant time.
Three of the trustees who are TO arrange
for its erection met Ia Chicago the first
of the week. They were considering the
investigating tour about to be made, dur
ing which time they will visit the homes
already established. with view of getting
suggestions that will aid them in the con-
struction Of the one to be erected in
Quincy. The plans which the trustees
decide upon will finally he submitted to
the governor for approval.
An architect will be selected in short
time and the ground will be broken in
the spring. Thus far they have visited
the homes at Leavenworth, Kan, and al
Milwaukee. Wis, and yesterday they
went to Dayton, Ohio. Whether the
home will be erected on the cottage plan
or consist simply of building has not
yet been determined. The appropriation
for this purpose is 100000. 1t is anti
cipated that over one thousand requests
for occupancy will be made at once. al
lowing one for each of the 500 Grand
Army of the Republic posts at present in
existence. 1t is also though that the BOG
or 400 soldiers and sailors now inmates
of poor houses will be transferred to the
new home.

THE TOURNAMENT.
skinner In Good Lnck--Defeating
Gamble the Second Time.-.The
Fourth Race Tonight.

An immense crowd gathered at tie
Banner rink in Davenport last evening to
witness the third race in the tournament
for the championship of the United
States, participated in by X. A. Skinner,
of Boston-prssent champion-and l..
Jay Gamble, of Davenport. The race
was the most exciting of the tournament.
so far. The con- stants were started on
opposite sides of the hall to prevent foul
ing as far as possible.
Gamble started out well and gained
steadily on his opponent until the
seventh lap Of the fourth mile,
when he fell, giving Skinner the
lead, and Gamble was unable to make up
the time and distance lost, before the end
or the race. Skinner won in 20;5S. and
by about six feet. Both skaters were in
good trim, and appeared to be gong for
blood" The audience seemed to be even
| ly divided as to its enthusiasm for the
contestants. and as usual the flyers were
greeted with yells and shouts and occa-
sional Kisses from the hoodum element
Tonight the fourth race will be skated
at the Rock Island rink and will attract
considerable interest, for if Gamble wins
there will be tie, leaving Saturday night
| to determine the championship.

DECEPTIVE DR.. HAMPTON.
His Deserted Bride Still in Search OF
Him.-H0W he Entieed Her to
Marry Him.

Mrs. DR.. Charles Hampton, of Chicago,
mention of whose desertion while yet a
bride, by her husband, was made in
last evenings ARGUS, is still in search
of him. Mrs. Hampton is a pretty lit
tie woman not yet twenty years of age,
and is pleasant and winning in her man
ners. She says that she had been ems
gagged to DR.. Hampton about three
months previous to her union with him,
and her consummatiou of the marriage
contract was altogether unexpected TO her
until few hours before its actual
occurrence. 1t seems that after Hampton
went over to the Kimball house he
wrote his af1ianced, Miss Emma Rosa,
who was at her home in Chicago, telling
her that he had fallen from railroad
train and severely injured his arm. which
had necessitated his being confined TO his
room at the hotel for some time, and that
he had been obliged, in order to raise
funds, to sell his diamond ring to one OF
the boarders at the Harper house. he
mediately, and in compliance with
this request Miss Rosa and her mother
came 10 Davenport, the doctor greeting
them with his arm in a sling. They had
been there but few momen is when ht
removed the Sing, saying, "your coming
has cured my arm, | believe. for it is bet
ter already" Mrs. Hampton says that
Hampton then represented That he had
plenty of money at his command, ant
| that an immediate marriage would b
beneficial to all concerned. The fact hs
been developed that Miss Rosa's famil,
| are in needful circumstances, that hei
father is a confirmed invalid, and he'
mother supports the family by nursing,
Knowing this, Hampton used 1t as {
means of inducing the young lady TO be

not only aid the family, but would SCI
that her two younger sisters were given
suitable education.

This was the last abe heard of him
Mr.. Ochs. land agent at Davenport
teiephoned the Harper house this morn
ing that Hampton had called upon hin
some time ago and represented himself a
j. DeLeon, NJ D., and that there was
letter waiting for him there, directed t.
that address now. Mr.. WilleIton, chic
clerk at the Harper house, suspecte'
Hampton's motive from the first, and re
fused to furnish him cheap rates at th
hotel or offer him any inducements Il

went over to the Kimball. These charge
place Hampton in very uusavory light
to say the least.
