MAUD'S MADNESS.

After Upbraiding Her Rock Island
Lover for Not Being True TO Her,
the Notorious Character, Attempts
Suicide. but Fails.
The scandals that have come from the
associations of young married man in
this city with the notorious character,
Maud Terry. are known to almost every
body in Rock Island. Last night at her
rooms in Davenport, Maud attempted
suicide. The Democrat Gazette recites
the facts:
Maud Turner. better known as Maud
Terry, one of the disreputable characters
of the town, tried to commit suicide last
night about half past 10 o'clock. She
came to this city from Rock Island some
time ago and had rooms over a saloon on
the corner of Rock Island and Second
streets. At the time stated she was in
her room, and a Rock Island young man
whom she had known for some time
called upon her. She at once began to
upbraid him for being untrue to her, and
after several angry words had passed
between them, the woman reached over
to the table near her, grasped bottle of
laudanum and taking the cork out of it,
she exclaimed to the young fellow, II
will show you how woman can diel''
She then quickly leaned back in her rock
ing chair and poured the contents of the
bottle into her mouth. The Rock ISL
ander, horror stricken. rushed down stairs
and telephoned for a physician. who ar
rived about fifteen minutes later. He app
piled the proper sntidotes and in the
course Of an hour or two the notorious
woman was brought around all right

Deserted on Her wedding bay.

Mrs. Mary Ann Newcomb, through her
attorney. W. M. Chamberlain. has filed
petition in the district court of Daven-
port, for divorce from Nicholas New
comb. They were married June 10,
1877, in the city of Rock Island. The
plaintiff alleges that she has carried out
her part of the contract faithfully, al
ways ''demeaning herself as dutiful
and loving wife," One child has been
born to the unhappy couple. 1t appears
from the papers that on the very day of
the marriage the defendant absented him
self and has failed to perform the duties
of husband ever since. For the last
year the defendant has lived in Daven.
port. Judgment against the defendant is
asked for and the custody of the child,
also the restoration of the plaintiffs
maiden name.
Another case begun in the district
court of Davenport in which the partici-
pants are Rock Islanders, is entitled Sadie

IN ROYAL

There may he nothing more substan-
tial than idle gossip behind the story
that the Prince of Wales is an incur
able invalid whose days are likely to be
numbered within u year. The dis
patches have it that the Prince has
Bright's disease, "a he ha been
warned of n fact by his physicians,
that the entire royal family knows
about il and that the Queen, although
devoting herself with more than ordi-
nary zeal To affairs of state, listens to
solemn music every night and wishes
the succession might ultimately pass
over Albert Victor and be settled on
his brother George"
We pause at this point i'm reciting the
dispatch to remar that, IL the good
Queen ardently wishes To have the real
heir counted out, she might learn some
thing to her advantage by correspond
ing with certain parties i'm Butte City,
Silver Bow county, Montana, u. :. A.,
who are up i'm that line of business.
Mr.. Russell Harrison, who is
known to he quite an intimate
at the royal household could fur
nish more definite addresses. If the
Queen could just get hold of u copy of
the Inter Mountain with its pict-
uresQue editorial sketches of Billy lila
rushing down Main street with "a
hose line, that would settle it. The
Queen herself couldn't ask more.
But ii the stories regarding the con
dition of the Prince of Wales be true.
III, indeed. the doctors have correctly
allotted his time OH earth. The an
nOuncement of his fatal illness would
awaken profound sympathy through
out this continent, his death would be
honestly deplored and then curiosity
wOuld he piqued to know the slightest
details relating to h sucoe sion. Ac-
cident, sudden death and suicide have
spOrted among Europe's thrones with
i'm a twelve-month, but Great Britain
would feel the shock least of all of
them in what relates to all her subjects.
The crown has its uses i'm England, but
they are purely i'm a decorative way, for
England is governed by a cabinet.
Yet the death of the Prince of Wales,
i'm its relations tn politics and policies
wOuld be an event of profound signifi-
cance The Queen has lived beyond
the three-scOre-years and ten. One day
this month the Prince passed his forty
eighth birthday, and the situation loses
none of it's interest from the current
suspicion hat the Queen, under no il
fusion regarding the ability of the heir
presump tive, would not grieve were
the scepter to pass from Albert Victor.

WHAT WE MAY EXPECT.

The Harrison administration, while
more disappointing in many respects
than that of Hayes, the Usurper, will
prove prolific in furnishing campaign
phrases for the next presidential con-
test. Great things were expected of the
Hoosier statesman, and to a certain ex-
tent his most sanguine supporters have
been surprised.
shortly after Harrison discovered the
presidency. the president discovered the
Harrison family, and the country was
secured from Maine to California for
members of the tribe who were ap-
pointed to office. The motto. Civil
Service Reform" gave place to the
more appropriate one. "what is home
without the rest of the family"
One of h first acts of this pigmy
representative of the q. q. Il. was the
discharge of every colored Sci want EN-
ployed i'm the White house. The famous
battle cry. I'VE freed the negro" was
relegated to oblivion, while the more
modern one, I'VE fired the niggers,"
reigned in it's stead.
Later on the HoOsier statesman and
his advisers struck what they thought
was pay dirt in Brooklyn. 4 certain

called to Washington to help devise

This relic of an apple tree raid soon
made his presence felt, and down came
the slogan, reduce the taxes" to make
room for .'smash the surplus"
Other incidents could be cited with
out end, whereby this administration
has achieved no~toriety. Prince Rus
sells calves were exhibited before the
Queen of England. and we understand

THE STEAL.

The deliberate attempt Of the repub-
lean national committees agents to re-
verse the result of the Montana cleo
ton n nullify the will of the major
ity as expressed in am election which
nobody pretends was otherwise than
honest is u shocking manifestation of
political ~depravity, but it ought not be
surprising. The politicians who have
tried to do this thing have accustomed
their minds to regard the success of
their party as a sure thing SO supremely
desirable as to Justify h use of any
for its accomplishment, and by
repeatedly cOnsenting to accept h re-
suits of fraudulent practices many
men in that party to whom such
things were once repulsive have
come to think of them with u chuckle
of amused qualification. In such cir
cumstances the Montana incident ought
to excite no surprise. The people of
that state, i'm reckless disregard Of re-
publican necessities, elected a majority
