Been Marrying Too Freely.

ST. Louis, July 20.-Charles B. Coming
ham, for the past four years telegraph OPP
orator in the brokers' Office of John Null
ford, in this city, disappeared about a
week ago and his present whereabouts are
unknown. 1t is believed that financial
troubles, together with several intricate
matrimonial tangles, are the cause of his
absence. A few years ago Cunningham
married a Miss Nellie Eastman, of st.
Paul, Mimi, and after living with her for
q year left her and soon after formed the
acquaintance of a young woman at Wat
seka. Ills, with whom he lived as man
and wife for six years. Three years ago
he married Miss Clara Codding, of De
Soto, Mo-, who with her 1O-months old
baby, is left in a penniless condition.

BARNUM SHOWS COMING,
Will Rock Island Have Another
Big Attraction This Year?
A L,ttle of the INSIDE history Of the
MOnster Aggre gari0as-De the
Barnum- Bailey Folks Own
ForPpaughs

Ibid you know that Rock Island was
likely to have Barnum's big show this
year9" enquired an old stager in the show
business of an ARGUS reporter this
morning.
Thought the Barnum and Forepaugh
folks had an understanding not to visit
the same locality the same year. answered
the newspaper man.
80 they did when both the great show.
men ware alive. but bless you don't You
know things are different now. Between
you and me and the gate post, there is
one proprietorship to the whole business
as between Barnum and Forepaugh this
year. and that is the reason it seems a
little strange that the Barnum show comes
here but it is nevertheless true, from the
best Information can gather
But there is some further inside his
tory Of this case. When the executors of
the estate of the late Adam Forepaugh
shows SOLD out to the BSrnum & Bailey
folks young Forepaugh. Jr., the famous
elephant trainer, became indignant and
said he wanted the name of his father
perpetuated under his name, and
kicked so vociferously that ]. E. Cooper
was put in charge and in this way Adam
Jr,, was induced to stay with the show
this season, but he is rot satisfied. and as
you know, he is seldom mentioned in con
nection with the show; he is not spoken
of prominently at all, and this is another
queer stroke of business policy.
But this is not the greatest fight that
is going on now in the show world.
Sells Bros. and Adam Forepaugh, Jr.
are figuring for big deal next year that
will not please the Barnum- Bailey folks.
! They are negotiating to start new show
of which Adam, Jr., is to be the head
and front and which will be in truth and
name the Adam Forepaugh shows.s I'M
der such an arrangement the present
Adam Forepaugh shows under the Coop
er management would have hard time
proving its worth in title, good as the
show Is in itself.
Il am satisfied that Bailey, of Barnum
Il Bailey fame, owns both the Barnum
and FOrepaugh shows. for this reason
When O'Mara, of the Hanlon volters, lost
his life at Clinton a week ago, the others
of these performers wanted to cancel
their engagement for the season. Cooper
telegraphed Bailey for instructions, and
his answer, which l saw. read, Hold
them to their contract"

STORY OF A RUSSIAN JEW.
How the Russian Officials Prosecuted and
Robbed Him.

How the Russian Officials Prosecuted and
Robbed Him.
NEW YORK, July 20.-Thirty detained
immigrants, all Russian Jews, are await
ing the decision of the superintendent of
immigration. One of them, Mendal Ro-
galski, aged 20, a carpenter by trade, tells
pitiful tale of his adventures and suf-
ferings in Russia. He became suspect
while working at his trade in Riga, and
to escape Siberia, which was inevitable in
the event of his capture, he fled from city
to city, but was constantly pursued. He
was finally taken prisoner, beaten, and in
other ways treated most inhumanly, ard
prepared for Siberia He again escaped
and after much suffering and great hard
ship reached Hamburg, from whence he
was assisted to this country.
Certain Death To BE Sent Back.
His savings of six years were taken
from him by his captors in Russia and he
came here penniless, hence his detention.
He was very much affected TO find that be
will be returned to Europe after all his
sufferings and arduous efforts to reach
America He saysif he is caught in Rus
STA again he will surely be put to death.
The other immigrants tell similar stories
The Jewish societies have taken hold of
these cases and it is likely that they will
succeed in getting permission for their
landing

Diaboiism in Massachusetts

LANCASTER, Mass, July 20.-Annie NJ.
Lawrence, aged il, has told the police a
most shocking story of abuse by her step
father, Patrick F. Doolan, and on the
strength of her allegations Doolan has
been arrested. Annie says that she has
been the victim of her stepfather's pas
sion for five or six years, and that he has
treated her shamefully in many other
ways. She declares that she was forced
by him to commit perjury in 1856, when
Carl Rosnell was sentenced to prison for
six years on a charge of felonious assault
on her. Rosnell was convicted chiefly on
her testimony, and she now says there was
not word of truth in it. Rosnell died in
prison

the cardina says: This, l submit, is
very grave step, and one that l fear will

until forbearance is no longer virtue
Regarding the matter of the refusal of a

The Hebrew Faith.

The fresh decision of the Russian Govern
ment concerning its policy toward the Jews
debars the children of Hebrews not having
the right OF sojourn in Russia. or residents
of any Russian district without permit,
from admission TO the middle or higher
schools.
Regarding question which Eastern Jews
have been waxing indignant over the jew
ish journals of the West have been inclined
to smile at it. A writer in the American
Hebrew says: Here is the Opaque way In
which the dictionary defines the word:
"Sheeny. (origin obscure)-A sharp fellow,
hence Jew; term of opprobrium, also
used attributively. Slang" The phrase,
Origin obscure" is the awkward apology
OF the dictionary maker for not knowing
anything about the word, and complacent
inslnuation that as the origin of the word
was unknown to him, therefore 1t must be
unknown to everybody else. His expert
mental guess at the meaning OF it shows
what dictionary man can do with a word
that he does not understands sharp fell
low, hence jew" Not the slightest ety.
biological hint is given why "Sheeny'"
means sharp fellow, nor why "sharp fell
low" means Jew. The insulting word is
derived from "chien," the French for dog,
a pet name which for ages was given by the
Christians to the Jews.
Helena, Mont, has just dedicated S25-
The Boston Herald of July 18th pub
fishes in full sermon delivered by Rev. S.
r. Fuller at st. Paul's Episcopal Church at
Maiden, Mass, which, as a thorough analy-
sis of the mind and character of the great
law-giver, Moses, is attracting considera-
Bile amount Of attention, and exciting favor
able comment from both Jew and Christian.
He drew his inspiration from Deuteronomy,
X:34: And there rose not o prophet since,
in Israel, like unto Moses. whom the Lord
knew face to face"
The argument of the reverend gentleman
leads to the conclusion that Moses was a
great man, simply because he could not help
being SO. God arranged the details of the
plan, from his finding in the bulrushes by
Pharaoh's daughter, and the employment of
his devout mother as his nurse, to the mo-
ment that, having brought the children of
Israel in sight of the Promised Land, he
yielded up his spirit. The life of Moses is
divided into three periods or epochs of forty
years each, and in the fulfllment of the
duties connected with each epoch he devel-
oped the master mind which laid the fouu-
dation Of all laws. The conclusion at which
the reverend gentleman arrives is that
Moses established the religion of Jehovah,
and not tribal religion; that he became
the founder OF nation, religion, a
church, great law-giver, so great that our
own civilization to-day receives its impress
from him, and that the common law, under
which we live to-day, can be traced directly
back to the life of Moses himself. In a
word. the Christian Church to-day is found
ed upon the life and laws of Moses.

sion and unfortunate people throughout the
country. 1t was the transplanting of four
L.. Davis. The bones of the nose had de-
cayed, leaving that member in condition
notifying to the otherwise handsome lady.
The nasal bones were taken out by the
surgeon and the cat bones inserted. The
bridge of Mrs. Davis nose is now solid and
straight, and she is one of the happiest
women in Decatur. Another similar opera
ton was performed by DR.. Barnes, who
made new nose-bridge for r. d. Rowe of
Las Vegas. n. Mex. Quite a number of
people witnessed the operation while Rowe
was under the Influence of choroform. 1t
Is known that the bone-grafting in New
York cases has failed because of the
sloughlng off of the flesh. but there has
been no trouble whatever with the Decatur
case. 1t has been in every way successful.
