John Roth died of starvation at
the county asylum Saturday even
ing. His death occurred on the
sixtieth day that he had subsisted
without so much as single morsel
of food passing his lips. For such
an absolute fast, his record is per
haps the longest ever made. Roth
was native Of Switzerland, about
40 years Of age, and came to this
country recently. He worked around
Scales Mound until attacked by
progressive paralysis, two months
ago, which incapacitated him for
work and soon made it impossible
for him to eat. After a week of
fasting he was brought to the county
asylum on the 23d Of May and there
fingered fifty-three days without
food. He had no relatives and was
buried in the potter's field.-Galena

... Two parties of four or five each,
from Winslow, passed through here
last week en- route for Galena river,
where they will search for pearls.
The pearl excitement in Winslow
and vicinity has lately been in
creased by the fact that Geo Eells
of that place lately found a pearl in
the Pecatonica which he sold for
six hundred dollars. Along Yellow
Greek, it is said, the owners of land
bordering the creek have forbidden
parties trespassing upon their prem
ises in search of pearls Warren

LAST week James Duffy accident
ally run mower guard into his leg
and has since been going about on
crutches. Aside from the pain and
botheration, the accident is particu-
Iarly provoking to Jim as this is his
busiest season with binders, and he
expected to make record of sales
that would astonish his company.
