MALE MORMONISM.
A Woman Living With Two Husbands
r Just Over the Moline Border.

A Woman Living With Two Husbands
just over the Moline Border.
There is or has been for some time
considerable indignation raging just
over the Moline line, the residents
claiming that a woman in that vicinity
is living with two husbands The
woman against whom the alleged charges
are made has been divorced from one
husband and is married again, and her
former liege lord and with whom the
matrimo NAL bans have been severed is
boarder in the household of herself and
husband No. O. While the people in the
neighborhood do not raise objection to
this part of the performance. they look
upon it as trifle peculiar. The senss>
tional part of the business, however. is
that the woman of the household
seems to be importunate IN be-
slowing her affections upon both
male members of the household. She
accompanies both at different times in
buggy riding and pleasant walks and
seems in the absence of one, it matters
not which, to entertain the other with all
the grace and charm of loving and de-
voted spouse.
The neiRhbors have become accustomed
to term the case one of Male Mormon
ism" and say many have become indig-
nant and promise to bring about an in
vestigation if things continue as they are
reported to be.

The Davenport Times of last evening
contains the following particulars of
peculiar and somewhat exciting accident
on the electric road at Davenport yester-
day morning:
This morning about z o'clock a
thoughtless panic seized the occupants of
two cars on the electric road, which was
brought about IN this manner: A car
was coming down Brady street be-
tween Seventh and Eighth and en-
deav0red to stop on the switch till
the up-bound Car should pass it.
But all efforts to bring it to halt
were fruitless. 1t seems that the track
in front of DR.. Peck's residence was COW
cred with fallen leaves, rendering it so
extremely shppery as to place the car be-
vond the control of the driver Down it
rushed with John Gilpin speed. when
the up town Car noticing the trouble and
fearing a collision, reversed its course and
slid downward with all due haste to es
cape. Both cars, however, were stopped
before reaching Fifth street.
Both cars contained a number of pas
sengers, most of whom became nervous
at this Jack and Gill performance, and in
their haste to escape jumped while the
cars were going down the incline. Among
them was Miss Emma Slater, who was
supposed to be seriously hurt. She was
| taken into the residence of Rev. Dr..
Garrett, and after resting a short time
was driven home in carriage, Beyond
a sprained ankle there was no injury done
this lady. nj. A. L. Mossman came of
with only few bruises.
The company can readily guard agains,
any recurrence of this kind of acciden,
by placing sand boxes on the cars. These
they have already prepared and will be
put in position today

One OF those vicious brutes owned by
the City Paint works got on its high
horse this morning and kicked up the
dust at lively rate on Seventeenth street
near Third avenue. Little Willie Druck-
miller was in the wagon at the time, and
was thrown out of the wagon and terri
bly, cut and bruised. He was carried to
his home, 1405 Fifth avenue, where DR..
DR.. S. c. Plummer made an examination
and found the scalp to have received one
deep cut two inches long, a confusion on
the side of the head where the scalp was
torn loose and the head otherwise cut and
bruised. There was also cut five inches
long on the front of the right leg below
the knee exposing the bone. The fingers
were also bruised. The unfortunate
little fellow bore his pains with patience
and heroism. The injuries are. however,
not of necessarily serious nature. A
few months ago the boys father, Fred
Druckmil!er, had leg broken while driv-
ing one of the firms horses, and it was
only one of a good many runsways the
same horse INDUCED in about that time
A frlghtful runaway occurred down
on West Third street in Davenport yes
terday Henry and James Grenwald
were driving the delivery rig of Menge
Bros, the butchers. When they reached
the point where the Southwestern road
crosses Third street, the horses became
frightened and dashed westward on Thirt
upsetting the wagon few blocks dis
taut, breaking the fills and throwing the
boys out. The Greenwald boys wer'
picked up in an Unconscious condition
The wagon was considerably smashed up
Had the boys been thrown foot fartbe
than they were. they would have strucl
their heads on the curbing and probabl,
have been killed.

Tonight there will be short torch

grand parade, after which Gov. Palmer
and Mr.. Darrow will speak.
Gen. Palmer and party viewed the pro-

various detachments as they passed.
Conductor Coons, of the c., B. & @,
who brought up the Prentiss glee club
this morning and who is great admirer
of the clubs namesake, gave the singers
all the privileges of the train and they in
turn rendered several choice selections.
Gov. Palmer was not received and
banqueted by the aristocracy. He was
received by the sturdy, rough listed la
boring man, the mechanic, railroad man
and the farmer. 1t does not follow from
this, however, that Palmer was not wei
coined, not as Fifer was. by his best
friends.

Donough county, arrived this morning.
1t is composed of E. D. McHenry, c. N

Reports indicate that the frost OF
Thursday night in northern Dakota and

it is possible for growing wheat to be in.
iured by frost. Yet it happens freq uent.

immense territory that freezing weather
comes while the wheat is ina soft con.
dition. Its vitality is destroyed and il
shrivels and is worthless. Regarding
the frost visitation of Thursday night
in northern Dakota and Miuueso.s there
ere conflicting reports as to the amount
of damage done, all reports agreeing that
disaster has overtaken the slowly ma
turing fields. In all portions OF the Red
river valley there was heavy frost and
an estimate places the loss OF wheat at
twenty-five per cent. For Minnesota
and north Dakota one estimate makes
the ioes from twenty-five to fifty
per cent and another says six
million bushels OF wheat was
destroyed. St. Vincent and Grand
Forks dAtes deny reports of injury to
wheat. v hile as far south as Cass county
il is admitted that wheat is badly frozen.

Congressman Perkins, OF Kansas, who
recently made tariff speech at the
North Carolina state fair, encourages
republicans at the Washington head
quarters with the belief that North
Carolina can be carried Tor the republi-
can presidential ticket. The state ticket
ls looked upon as tolerabiy safe and it is
believed il the republican national COM
mittee would send some intelligent men
into the black belt of North Carolina to
see that the ignorant colored voters cast
their ballots in the right boxes the re-
publican electors would be chosen. The
laws Of South Carolina have been
adopted by North Carolina governing
elections, and these provide separate
ballot box for each office voted for, and
there are SO many boxes presented that
the uneducated oolored vorer very sell
dom places his ballot in the right box.

General sheridan s last Work.

The last work of General Sheridan
upon which Two years OF his life had
been spent, was rsa'l. completed at the
time OF his death--tbat 0. the prepars-
tion OF his personal memoirs. The writing
OF the book was finished before his last
illness came on, bus the work of revision
and going over proofs had occupied his
time when strength would permit, al
most to the last hours. Even ut Non.
qaitt he had been able to give little
time to the consideration OF proofs which
had been sent in to him BY Charles T..
Webster Il 90. OF this city. who are the
publishers.
Last Friday he had completed dozen
or 80 of the proof sheets and had mailed
them to the city. The hand writing OF
his corrections showed the weakness OF
the penman. The publishers had little
idea that the general would 30 soon psss
away, and believed that he was improv.
ing. More proofs were sent to Nonaultt
on Saturday. General Sheridan had
nearly completed his task and
very few proofs remained for
revision. His interest in the work was
great and it is believed that the
desire to finish the memoirs before death
buoyed him up and prolonged his life.
HIS idea was to finish the book that his
family might have the benefit OF the
money arising from the sale OF the booke,
When his friends suggested the idea of
his writing an autobiography he did NOT
take much interest in the matter, but on
starting in with the writing he became
interested and the interest grew with
each day
The book is intensely interesting, ac-
coiding to those who have seen it, and
it is thought, will have large sale. II
ia history OF Sheridan's life, including
his West Point experiences, and several
pages are given to his Indian campaign
in the Columbia river region. The book
is bright with anecdote, and is not dull
in page Accompanying it are valua-
BILE war maps and several portraits. III
will be issued in two volumes, one OF
which is now printed, and the last pag ca
OF the second will soon be on the press.
The work will now be hurried forward, i,
so that the book will be ready for sale
early IN the fell, probably during the
first days OF September. The volumes
are about the size oil the Grant memoirs.
