VINTON'S ALL RIGHT.
He is Perfectly Eligible to the Leg
islature.
An Anidavit Proving mis- Tile and
Exploding Little scheme ina, was
In Contemplation.

As has been hitherto stated in the AR.
GUS the Investigations which led to the
proving OF w. G. Collins ineliQ ibility to
a seat in the next Illinois legislature,
sprang from An attempt on the part of
some OF the self>styled fine workers Of
the local contingent OF the Mckinley
party to prove that Mr.. Geo. w. Vintop.
democrat member elect from Mo inc IS not
eligible. 1t did not take long to establish
the entire falsity of these charges against
mr. 'Inton, but, nevertht less. he before
mentioned fine workers started on, ON
another line OF policy. They resorted TO
strategy, and this was their scheme: To
nave Collins resign between now and
december l, in order to give he COVER.
nor time to call specisl election, to
leave nothing undone to elect a republi.
can su cessor to Collins. and then
go before the legislature at the
last moment and contest Mr.. Vim
tons seat on the ground of his
ineligibility with hope of getting his
seat vacant too late TO elect a successor
ana thereby gain member of the legis-
lature. But no matter what is done as
to Collins. the part of the plan as per,
tains to MIR. Vinton must fail and will
therefore hardly be attempted now as the
following affidavit received by Mr. Vinton
saturday removes all doubt as to his
oeing resident of Burlington
within the past five years:

A SKELETON FOUND.
An Unexplained Mystery Unearthed
at MOline-Is DC a VictimIo fjFoul Play !.

An Unexplained Mystery Unearthed
at Moline-Is it a Vicsimlo nFOuI Play
Workmen engaged in excavating on
Seventeenth street near the central school
building, Moline, made a somewhat
startling discovery Saturday evening. It
isn't an everyday incident with plowmen
to turn up human skulls bv pillow share.
Nevertheless such was the experience of
a plowman at Moline on Saturday eve
ming; and this was DOT ALL His curiosity
aroused by his startling discovery led
him to closer investigation, which revealed
the fact that he had severed the skull
from the trunk, the entire skeleton being
recovere as result. 1t appeared to be
that of a man of middle age, six feet tall,
and had been buried fourteen inches in
the ground in somewhat cramped po-
sition as if thrown in hurriedly.
II appeared to have been in the ground
fully fifteen years. and there was nothing
about it to indicate that the body had
been given the privilege of burial in q
coffin or even box About the skeleton
were some brass buttons. and pearl but
tons and two buckles. one apparently
from pair of psntaloons, and the other
vest.
The strange find recalls to the mind of
Washington Hughey. of Moline. an incl
dent of fifteen wears ago when going
home one night, not far from the spot
where the skeleton was unearthed he
found small bit of linen which had
the appearance of being the wrist-band
of shirt. Ii was stained with blood
and near by was piece of a broken
cane. and all about footprints tina, seemed
to show evidences of a struggle. Mr..
Hughey notified Marshal Wells at the
time, and that officer m ade an sxsmins-
ton next day, but did OF find anything
on which to base charge or a clue, and
the matter was dropped Perhaps a new
chapter has been opsnei in a mysterious
tradegy now.

The Various Protestant Churches
Join In a Temperance service Mt the

The union temperance meeting of the
Protestant churches of the city at the
First M. E. church last evening was at
tended by large congregation notwj,h
standing the Indictment weather. The
pastors participating were: Revs G. w.
Cue. of the First church: J. n. Kerr, of
the Central; T. W. Grafton. of the Chris.
tan; W. s. Marquis, of the Broadway
Fl. c. Marshall. of the U. P, and c. E.
Taylor. of the First Baptist. The SER
vices opened with prayer BY Rev. Kerr,
followed by reading of the scriptures by
Rev. Grafton. the singing of Rock of
Ages" by the congregation, and special
selection by the choir.
The sermon was preached BY Rev. DR..
Taylor. whose tex:s were Second Kings.
1919:
But who slew all thesey
and also from Luke 1874:
But when be was come here he beheld the city,
and wept over il.
The pastor said at the outset that be
had no words OF bitterness to utter
against those engaged 10 the liquor trsf>
fic. He had only to extend pity and
sympathy TO them. He then entered in
to vigorous srrsignment and denun>
citation of the traffic as business. He
termed the traffic matter that had be-
come personified through its own career
as law defer, breeder of crime and
q desolator of homes. He compared the
scenes spoken of in the texts with sights
all about us today which he charged to
the liquor traffic.

Is state Of things. Owing to the genera,
belief that all kinds Of cloaks and isckass
nave been advanced on account Of the
increase OF duties by the passage of the 80
called Mckinley bill" we wish to make
the Following statement:
We have received advices from nearly
every manufacturer that the future prices
on cloth jackets will be advanced from
$l.OO to % 90 on each garment. The
advance on plush garments will yary ac
cording to the grade of plush, from &c 90
to 50 50per garment.
These are the prices we must nav tn
repienish our stock. Right here is where
the point to our story comes in. We
took advantage OF the long discussion of
the tarin bill, and believing il would
surely pass We made our purchases &C.
cordingly. With the result that we have
on our shelves today at old prices abou,
200 plush jackets and sacques and sbout
200 short and long cloth garments, which
we are selling on an average Of 30 to 25
per cent below the market of TO-DAY. Re.
member these are our early purchases. and
early prices will trevail so long as presen,
stock holds out

THE LOGIC OF ACoUIrrAL.

The verdict which acquitted George C.
Pratt of the charge of an attempt to kill
LOUIS L. Cromwell is in harmony with an
unwritten law which declares it to be no
crime TO kill the yiolator of a home whether
the immediate object Of the offense against
the home be wife or daughter. The jury
paid no attention to the plea of insanity.
They disregarded the testimony of Brom-
we'll, who had declared his belief that Pratt
was insane at the time of making the attack,
giving as the reason for his belief the as
sumption that man must be insane who
attempts to kill another man without cause.
There was clear difference of opinion be-
tween Cromwell ard the jury. The fore
man thought the accused should be ac-
quilted on the ground OF insanity, while the
latter acquitted him on the ground Of iusti-
ication. The testimony of Bromwell and
the verdict of the jury tend to show the
weakness Of plea of insanity in cases of
this nature. While the public win accept
this verdict as being in accord with un-
written law, it will require that in all anao-
gous cases the innocence Of the party be-

CASTING ABOUT.

The feud between the Hill Democrats
and the Cleveland Democrats in New York
is growing bitter. While the Suns attack
upon Mr.. Cleveland was not probably in
spired by Mr.. Hill it Widens the breach
between the two Democratic leaders. Henry
WattersOn has taken occasion to say that if
New York is not unanimous in 1892 she
cannot nominate the candidate of the
Democracy. To this the Sun replies that
New York will be unanimous for David
Bennett Hill. The Sun admits that few
Mugwumps may prefer Cleveland, but de-
clines to count Mugwnmps as Democrats
The implacability of the Hill faction
Of the party toward Mr.. Cleveland has
natural tendency to set Democrats in other
States to casting about for a candidate out
of New York whom the two New York
factions can unite upon. There seems,
however, to be general admission that the
candidate most likely to carry New York
should be selected, whether resident of
that State or not. Perhaps there has never
been a time when available Democratic as
pirants have been so scarce as at present.
The only three whose names have been
mentioned are Cleveland, Hill and Whit
ney, all OF New York. All New England,
Pennsylvania, OHIO, Indiana and Illinois
fay0rite sons. If any of the doubtful States
have favorites they have suppressed in
the belief that Mr.. Cleveland was certain
to be the candidate, now is good time to
bring them into view.

ROASTING PRISONERS ALIVE.

There appears to be an epidemic of fires
in asylums. The Tongue Ponte horror is
swiftly followed by an almost equally dread
full disaster in Chenango County, n. Y. In
the first case a number of lunatics, no one
yet knows exactly how many, persisted by
fire and exposure; in the second dozen
wretched idiots were roasted alive in their
locked cells. In neither case have the au-
thorities in charge been accused of such
Grass negligence as would warrant their
immediate prosecution, and yet the disas-
tiers were preventable, and might have been
averted by wise forethonght.
In both Instances there appears to have
been no intelligent effort to check the flames.
From the fact that bucket brigade" was
formed at the Chenango fire it must be in
ferred that there were no fire engines on the
ground. There were fire engines at Tongue
Pointe, but they had never been tried. and
when the fire broke out it was found impos-
sible to connect them with the water tank.
This proved to be the less lamentable from
the fact that when an engine did arrive
from Montreal it exhausted the water sup
ply in ten minutes. At a distance of half a
mile from the asylum the st. Lawrence
flowed past with an ineXhaustible supply of
alter, but no pipes had been laid between
the river and the buildings. 1t had evil
IDENTIFY been the calculation of those who
had charge of the asylum that there was no
danger of fire breaking out, and that it
was needless to take precautions.
Such calamities ought to direct the atten-
tion of managers of asylums and prisons to
the responsibility they assume. A peniten-
tary warden is required to hold the persons
of his prisoners safely, but he is not author
lied to roast them alive, and if they are
roasted through his negligence or careless
ness he is guilty of homicide. So the keeper
Of an insane asylum or idiot asylum may
confine the unfortunates in his charge in
cells, but if the cells are so situate and so
constructed that in case of fire it is impossi-
BILE to liberate their inmates it is hard to see
how the keeper could escape a conviction
