that for the present. at least. we need not

would appeal to my cousin, the doubt
where the boy might be-there was no
reason. for instance. why he should not
be at Newcastle or at Rothbury, or at
Hexham. or at Carlisle-to say nothing of
my charge of fraud. went home to his
guilty conscience. These things were
sure, thought. to deter a man not nat
urally courageous, although his con
science might be hardened, from tempt
ing the vengeance of his injured cousin.
So far was right, that for the whole
OF the spring and summer we had no fur

money as we could, yet looking forward
to the time, now growing very near, when
there would be no more left to spend. As

faith was strong-I mean not the faith of
a Christian, such as l ought to have held
but faith in my lover so far away. He
would send me an answer. The answer,
whatever it might be, would surely set
all right
Mathew not only ceased to prosecute us,
but he ceased to desire the conversation
and company of my father He came no
more even to church, as if conscious of his
wickedness, and ashamed to face honest
people. He was rarely seen even in town,
and he left me quite alone; so that / be-

thusiastic in crediting Congressman
Gest with being responsible for the
success of the measure, but now when
the fallacy of the Unions premature

and it is shown that the bill had no,

bill was acted upon the Rock Island pros

the Union sets up whine because the

Gest for not accomplishing more in the

Rock Islard Turner's Win Unexpf cted
Honor. In the Upper mississippi
Fest Mt Davenport.
The biennial funniest of the Upper
Mississippi Bezirk closed at Davenport
last night. and prizes were awarded. The
Rock Island Turner society has taken
more than ordinary interest in the Upper
Mississippi fest. The home society did
not compete with an idea of receiving
prizes, but to assist the Davenport
brethren in entertaining the large crowd
that was present from distant cities.
The members of the society headed by
Bleuer's full band marched over yester.
day as stated last night and took part in
the procession. On reaching the grounds
the Des Moines, Rock Island and Stras.
ser's Davenport bands merged into one
organization for the day. making in all
seventy one musicians. This eomblna-
ton of bands was the center of attraction.
After the days doings at the park. the com
bination of three bands followed by the
societies which bad engaged them for the
fest, marched through the city and
brought up at Turner hall. the headquar-
ters of the Davenport organization and
where the committee in charge of
this pleasant reunion was in session.
After music, Mr.. John Ohlweiler. of
the firm of Carse & Ohlweiler. made an
impromptu speech. which was replied to
by Mr.. M. j. Rolf. of Davenport, aud
then came refreshments.
The members of the Rock Island So
ciety covered themselves with glory,
which was unexpected on their part.
Four prizes are their reward. towit:
Jacob Rettich secured first and second
awards in expert work in turning and
proficiency on the bars, while Albert
Eihl was the second best in the same
line. The singing society competed. and
part of the Turner organization carried
off the second prize in competition with
eight other organizations of the kind
This is high compliment when it is
known that they have been in practice
not more than FIVE months. even
though under the direction of Prof
Otto. of Davenport. Their friends
take no little pride in their sue
cess. This chorus consists of the fol-
lowing: ]. F. 0hweiler. John Hous>

Mrs. Aug. Herkert presented but

member, and similar. but not
so nice an ornament of flowers. to
all members from this city who
participated in the fest. Rock Island
people rejoice with the membership in
their success so unexpected.
In addition to the alb owe, it is learned
that August Kruse, member of the Rock

the bowling alley, which makes five
prizes in all brought home by the organs
