THE FAST RUN.
Yesterdays Flying Trip From Chi

The special train mentioned in last
nights ARGUs.w the chief topic of COM
versation around the c.. R. l. 6 P depot
Yesterday afternoon. Little groups were
seen here and there talking over the
probabilities of the run and each naming
the engineer. who in his opinion, would
De Inc best man to make the run. The
waiting room of the telegraph Office, or
as Conductor Mcclure termed it, the
railroad mems reading room" was filed
with employees of the road who were dis
cussing the fastest runs that had been
made on different roads and all auxiously
awaiting the arrival of the train for which
the track had all been cleared and every.
thing put in shape to make 1t a
notable run. Some one on the look
out announced that she was In
sight and all made rush
to see engine 1872 with Engineer
John Dickermsn at the throttle, come to
staIdstiil at precisely $50, or exactly
four hours and % minutes after leaving
Chicago, which is considered by persons
competent to Judge, very good time for
that distance considering the slow run
rung through the Chicago city limits and
that seven heavy CARS were attached,
which was shown by the fact that slack
was taken three times before the train
was started on leaving the city. To an
ARGUS reporter, who climbed up into the
cab Oh its arrival, Engineer Dickerman
said that he considered it fairly good
run, considering that II stops had been
made. A good supply of coal was on
hand though the water in the tank was
getting trifle low. Two firemen were
on the engine, Firemen Logeman and
Weber and the train was in charge of
Conductor Nesting.

A Handsome showing

A neat little pamphlet containing list
of the names of those to whom piano and
organs have been sold during the past II
years by the Rock Island branch house o.
W. W Kimball company, has been issued
by the manager d. Roy Bowlby. 1t sf-
fords an idea of the scope OF territory
covered by the Rock Island branch. 1t
includes 22S towns in IllinoisOhio, Wiscon
sin, Iowa, Minnesota, Dakota. New Jersey,
Kansas, Minnesota, Dakota, Iowa, Mis-
souri, and Montana, and shows the names
of 500-some of them deaers-to whom
instruments have been sold. The total
number of instruments sold By the Rock
Island branch during the time was 1000,
the local branch alone employing - hands
and having an annual running expense of
$12, 900. When it is considered that this
enterprising house reaches out for bust
ness over so widea territory, and enters
into so many homes in cities and towns
round about US as well as remote, one
may form an idea of how great are the
advantages Rock Island is to gain there
from. In some of the cities of Illinois,
and also of Iowa. It looks as if Mr.. Bowl>
by must have sold half the town from the
long list of names furnished.

AnInestimable Blessing.

Now tn at the filter plant has been in
operation for few days. the people are
beginning to realize the inestimable val-
ue of Hon. Ben T. Cables gift to the
city. While his generosity and phlan>
thropy were highly commended at the
time of the public announcement of his in.
tentions, the far reaching and equitable
distribution of its blessings are now more
forcibly impressed upon the public mind.
The filter is doing all claimed for it, and
it has certainly wrought beneficial
transformation not only in the appear
ance, but in the taste of the water which
is forced through the city mains. Clean
sed OF all impurities. its limpidity and
healthfulness compares favorably with
artesian water. and lessons the desire for
that heretofore much sought nectar.
1t is not strange. therefore, that the
gratitude of the community upon which
he has bestowed such princely heritage,
should go out spontaneously to Mr.. Ca
bic. Although only one of his many acts
of benevolence, this memorial to his
father is the grandest of them all II
exemplifies fihal affection and good will
toward his fellow men TO a degree too
rarely witnessed in this day and genera

THE SUICIDAL MANIA,
The Self-Destruction Craze Reaches
Us.
Two Attempts in Rock Island This
Morning and One Successful
Joseph BurtOn's suicide
by Laudanum

Joseph Burton, living on West Seven>
teenth street, south Of Second avenue.
succeeded in dispstching himself to the
unknown country this morning. The
means employed was two ounces of
laudanum. He took one ounc at an early
hour this morning, and finding it had
failed OF the desired effect he went Ia
Thomas drug store and purchased another
ounce-it is not known where he secured
the first quantlty-stating that 1t was for
his daughter who had the ear ache. 1t
was $50 that his daughter discovered him
in the act of draining the bottle. She at
tempted to wrestle the bottle from him,
but it was too late. He said he had
taken In all two ounces and was
determined to end his existence.
AS quickly as possible the dsugh-
ter sent for physician and DR..
Eyster arriving at once found the pa
tleut already under the influence of the
poison to such an extent that he was
numb and unconscious. The doctor ap-
piled emetics and labored diligently
with the suicide, but he had been too
successful in his purpose and at 1925 he
died.
Burton was AZ years of age and had
lived in Rock Island for about 20 wears
altogether. He was moulder By trade,
being employed st the Rock Island Stove
works. He leaves wife and seven chill,
dren, son in St. Louis and six others
in this city.
Domestic troubles probably constitute
the cause of Burton's crime. He had at
tempted it twice before but failed, and
while he had been given to dissipation
and was arrested four weeks ago with
bottle OF laudanum in his possession, he
was no relation to the individuals who
had given notoriety to the name in Rock
Island, but was generally industrious and
was very highly regarded at the stove
works where he had beea so long en-
ployed. He has brother also moul-
der. named John Burton.
On learning OF the suicide Coroner
Halves summoned jury, composed of J.
R. Johnston, foreman, Lawrence Kramer,
Phil Miller, l.. V Eckhart, E. NJ. Wilcox,
and J. B. Lidder, who, after viewing the
body, ad journed until this afternoon, when
the testimony developed the facts as
above given, and verdict of death by
suicide was found.
SAVED FROM SELF DESTRUCTION.
Mrs. W. C.McKinney, living on NJ srket
square attempted suicide early this morn
ing by eating the heads off quantity of
matches. DR.. S. G. Plummer was sum-
moned and succeeded in expelling the
SUI phurous substance from the young
woman's stomach, and she is now in a
fair way 10 recovery. The rash act was
due to unreasonable Jealousy and was no
doubt repented of as soon as committed.
The couple have always lived happily to
all appearances. Last evening they had
company. and the husband accompanied
couple of young ladies home The
young wife became jealous of them, and
life to her lost all its charms at once.

A poor man succeeded in gaining ad-
mission to the presence of the wealthy

in his eyes and his voice broken with
sobs, said in faltering accents to his
servant:
