 The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. G. l.. Pearson, who paid a beautiful tribute to the many noble qualities of deee lsed. The services throughout were very impressive and affecting. After the services the re- mains were taken to tho pepot, where Superintendent Jones had train in waiting to convey them to Prescott, Junction, en route to Portland, Oregon for burial where griei-stricken widow and two orphaned children await, with heavy hearts the coming ot the now cold form of once fond and loving husband and father. or one, who but a few short weeks ago, at She same place, imprinted the kiss of love upon their cheeks, to return to his business here, while they remained for visit to rela- lives there, each looking forward with fond antiCipatIons tO reunion at q eil home IT Prescott, m short time, hut, alas, for human hopes How often blasted, as in this case.

with water plenty and near by. together
with hard work, a disastrous blaze was
averted. The fire started from Home
Goals in q kettle which we're being used
to smoke meat. Luckily only four sides
of meat were lost, the remainder being In
the cellar. Although the farm bell was
rung. no one in the neighborhood was
aware Of the FIRE. The loss. which is
small. is fully covered bv policy il the
Farmers Mutual of Western, CISCO and

OF Adam Mealman. wealthy farmer

incest. the charge having been brought by
his Youngest daughter. Stella, aged nine-

ada. Mealman. though wealthy, is pos
sessed of nature which has involved
him in various feuds with his neighbors.
About year ago he induced Two of his
daughters to marry couple IF tramps,
who came along and engaged to work for
him, and there is belief that he used In,

The sons-in.law thus secured have since

several were engaged on either side. shot
guns were brought into active use. The
participants were arrested, Mealnan with
the rest. and three OF them. includiug the
old man. have been indicted at Can =
bridge on the charge of assault with
deadly weapons.
Thus Mealman is held under two in
dictments. one of which he may have to
expiate on the gallows or in the peniten-
tiary. Mealman is over sixty years Of
age, and u widower. States Attorney
Graves. of Henry county, states that the
brute virtually admits his guilt, which
extends through long period in fact, it
is said, the incest began not long after
the death Of Mealmsn's wife. But the
states attorney states tina. the in
dotted man will take upon himself
the task of attempting 10 prove

not his child. He claims that his
late wife on her death bed made the De.
culiar confession that Stella Who, by
the way bears a striking resemblance to
all of her sisters-though born in wed>
lock. was not Meslman's daughter. But
the fact that Mealman has been recog-

since she married James Gillett, q

time had been at work in the three cities.
At first the marriage is said to have beer
a very happy one. He attended strictly
TO his work for time and everything
was as lovely as a summer sky. But
the welded bliss was of short dur
alton, and she realizes that mar
risge is a failure in the first degree
at least with man of the
character Mr.. Gillett is said to possess.
A short time ago Mr.. Gille;t began life
of drinking and dissipation. He not only
used up all the money he could earn. but
also sold the furniture out of their little
home. In drunken condition he would
come home and beat his wife. Finally
becoming tired of this life Of torture, she
decided TO leave him. This she did and
will sue'for a divorce. The couple lived
on Twenty.first street, Rock Island
They have no children. Mrs Gillett Is
