PoRrLANp's BRAVE.
The Roll Of Honor To Be Inscribed
on the Soldiers Monument.
A last Opportunity 20 Make Chang
es and Additions.

Attic request of the Executive Commit
tee of the Portland Soldiers and Sailors
Monument Association, we re-publish the
list of names that are intended to be placed
upon the monument in this city with such
corrections as the committee have been en-
abled to make since its original publication
on the 18th of May last.
The list is still imperfect and further cor
rections are invited in order that 1t may be
made as accurate as possible during the
present month, as the names are to be cast
in bronze up On a tablet and must be sent to
the foundry for that purpose by the first of
January, after whichitime 1t will be impossi-
BILE to make any changes. The rolls of the
State authorities;failin to furnish the pre-
else information required, the committee re-
ly upon the individual efforts of the yeter-
ans as well as others, friends and relatives
OF deceased soldiers, for the information
neened to perfect it, The space on the
monument allotted to these names being
necessarily limited, the committee is COM
PEELED to confne the list to the names of
those actual residents of Portland at the
time Of their enlistment acho pere killed or
oseSu W VVHNuo UT utStuSt toftc lucy toeTe w
the serUice." Under this restriction the
names of several worthy soldiers that ap-
paared in the list originally published. have
been stricken out, and there are doubtless
other names that should be added, especially
In cases of enlistments in the regular army
and navy, where the veterans had but few
associates from their own State to furnish
the desired information.
Any correction of, or addition to the pub
lished list.that may be forwarded to theExec
utive Committee within the time mentioned
will receive proper attention. This inform
alton should be supplemented by giving the
rank, date and place of death, also stating
whether caused by wounds or disease, so
that complete register may be made of
these facts and deposited in some pubic
place for future reference.

Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1889-08-08

An Aledo telegram gives a part of the
career of Mercer county woman whose
matrimonial alscri,y was alluded to some
time ago, and whose last adventure made
her the wife of Mr.. Isaac Artz, q man
we'll known throughout the lower end of
Rock Island county. The telegram sllud
ed TO saws:
The woman's history is remarkable
one and is causing sensation here as it
is being brought TO light. She was mar
ried more than twenty years To David
Ramsey. a farmer of this county. After
some time, during which two children
were born. they were divorced. Mr.. Ram
sey subsequently, moving TO New York.
Mrs. Ramsey soon married man by the
name of Coleman. living with him num-
Der of years. Mr.. Coleman died suddenly
about three years ago. and many neigh
bors suspected that his wife had poisoned
him. She remained in this county until
last May. when Isaac Ariz. we'll known in
this vicinity AS The Prophet" became
infatuated with her. Mrs. Coleman was
very willing to marry AriZ, out he told
her the Lord would not allow him to
marry her while her divorced husband
lived.
About this time Mrs. Coleman opened
q correspondence with her first husband,
Mr. Ramsey, who resided in Elmira. n.
Y, which resulted in her going back to
EimIra. About the 1st of May she and
Mr.. Ramsey were remarked. The Sec
ond day after the wedding Mr.. Ramsey
was taken violently i'll and died, declsr-
ing that she had poisoned him. Mrs.
Ramsey, as soon as the funeral was over
came back to Aledo. and in twenty one
days after Rsmsey's death, married Artz.
who nov had no objections.
Mr.. Rsmsey's body was taken up and
arsenic was found in the stomach. As
soon as this was known the coroner at
Elmirs telegraphed the facts here. and
Mrs. Artz was arrested A re9uisition
will he asked for. The authorities ex-
pect to have Coleman's body eXhumed
and examined as soon as possible.
A dispatch last night from Elmira, n.
Y. contains the following additional
particulars of the same case:
The jury in the David Ramsey case
which has been in session for a week
past, concluded its labors this afternoon.
Their verdict declared that Ramsey came
death by ursenical poison, under
circumstances which led them to suspect
Josephine ArtZ, now of Aledo, Ill, for
merly Mrs. Ramsey. The woman was
married to Isaac Ariz. wealthy resident
of Aledo, three weeks from the day of
Ramsey's death. She is now under ar
rest in that city. The case has been
turned over to District attorney Denton
who will begin the prosecution for muir.

Well Enough as Is.

II may turn out that Rock Island did
not miss SO much after all when it failed
to secure the location of the big Kidd
distillery. Read the following special
from LaSalle to todsy's Chicago Nes's:
George Hollingsworth, resident secre-
tary of the Standard Spirit Refining COM
pany. and a nephew of q. w. Kidd. of
New York. the moving spirit of the
LaSslle distillery scheme, says that the
unfinished buildings of the company,
with all the machinery and apparatus
now on the ground. are for sale. The
city of LaSalle donated the ground on
which the buildings stand at cost to the
purchaser of 5000. with the under
standing that the distillery should be
operated at least five years or the money
should be refunded TO the subscribers.
There are number of unfinished
contracts, and the contractors are
much dissatisfied at the sudden ter
mlnation of their jobs, claiming
that they will lose money in conse-
4uence unless the company sees fit TO
make them safe These matters OF
finance do not appear to have been re-
ferred TO Mr.. kidds most recent instruc-
tons to his manager.

worth said that the whisky trust had the
machinery, stills, etc. OF fifty distilleries
now piled up in warehouses in Peoria. all
having been taken out of different plants.

Pond Lilies.

Great crearny-lesved pond lilies, with
their delicate yellow stems aud dainty
cups, seemingly sprinkled with powdered
gold exhaling delightful, dangerous
fragrance, are being brought into the city
every day and have been coming in since
the first of July, and from now until Oc-
tober 1 they can be found in profusion
serenely floating on their broad emerald
colored pads upon the bosoms of minis-
ture lakes, sluggish streams and wood
land pools il different parts OF the state.
There is only one objection to the water
lily in the eyes of the florist. 1t is that
lilies closing so early in the evening,
cannot be utilized for purposes of decor
alton at night unless their petals are forci-
bly opened, which spoils the artistic
effect. For midday weddings. funerals
and table decorations the lilies are in q
great deman at this season. Oferman's
Island is the place where they grow in
