HAS HE sKipPEDi
1'he Treasurer OF the Switchmen's
Union Leaves Under SUSPECT.
Gus Circumstances.

On last Monday evening. John
Hill, day yardmaster in the Rock Island
& Peoria yards, and treasurer of the
Rock Island Switchmen's union, left the
city for Nebraska, having been granted
thirty days leave of absence from duty
by Superintendent Sudlow. on account OF
sickness, be having been afflicted with
fever and ague during the winter. and it
was thought change of climate would
be beneficial to him. He had been faith
full to his duties. diligent and apparently
honest and without q stain upon his
character when he left the city. But
since his departure developments have
been made which give the case an alto
gether different aspect. Numerous and
heavy creditors, curious to know wher
he will be back. have sprung up, and the
Switchmen's union. of which he was
treasurer. is anxious to learn whether hi
can give satisfactory account Of the $a0(
OF the society's funds in his hands.
Hill was made treasurer of the Switch
mems union almost year ago, and at thu
expiration of his term in January, wa
reelected for the succeeding six months
1t is rule of the order that the treasurer
shall give bond, but so much eon6denc
had his associates in him that he was no
asked to furnish security. From wha
has been learned since his departure, Su'
perintendent Sudlow now believes Hill
has gone for good, as do many others
who mourn his loss to the tune of varion
amounts. Hill has wife aud one chill,
whom he left in the city, but who ar
probably now with him.
Earl Smith, formerly night yard mas
ter, has been appointed to Mr.. Hills pc
sitioD, and Mr.. Fritz Ohlweiler has bee
assigned to Smiths duties AS nigh
switchman. Both are experienced men

Farming and gardening interests &C.
cupy the attention of the good people in
these surroundings at present. By far the
largest acreage OF grain was sown during
the pleasant days of last week, and farm
ers are now turning their attention to
their corn ground. Vegetation has made
rapid advancement during the warm DAYS
or the past, and judging by the great vol
ume of blossoms represented by nearly
every tree and bush, there will be an
abundant crop of fruit the coming year.
Easter Sunday was introduced with a
drilling rain in the morning, but it soon
passed away, and the day was generally
recognized in the City. Appropriate ser
vices were held at the NJ. E, church, I'M
der the auspices of the Sabbath school
The church was beautifully decorated
| with evergreen and Easter flowers, and
Easter cards were freely circulated among
those present, especially the children.
We understand also that the U. B church
presented fine Easter display. and that
the services were very appropriate to the
occasion.

sick in a previous communication, was
