A Mistake In Cutting Tickets.


A mistake has teen made in mu-
nicipal circles in regard TO election
tickets. All bands were of the opin-
ion that the regulations governing
presidential and State tickets did not
apply TO those for purely municipal
elections, and as a consequence the
tickets were not cut according to law.
They must be 3 by inches in all
elections. This mistake will not
stop the election, however There
will be plenty of tickets of the re
quired dimensions. The error was
discovered this ~ orning after all the
tickets had be n printed.

When TomalleY s. Co. left Rock Island

began to manufacture tomalleys. They
carried on the practice of visiting saloons,
etc.. as they had previously done on this

didn't come their way. Their quarters
consisted of three rooms, in which James
Beck and his wife and child and two
young men who called themselves Albert
and Joseph Seeley made their home.
Business in the hot tomalley line
wasn't good in Davenport and presently

that the place had not been cleaned out

THE BANKERS DAUGHTER
Mystei ieus Disappearance OF a Young
Lady From Her Home In Wyoming,
I0wa-A Peculiar case.

Iowa-A Peculiar case.
Locksmith Charles FIebig, Rock Isl :
snd's expert, returned last night from
Wyoming, Iowa, where he went for the
purpose Of opening q safe in bank there
to which the combination had been lost
in rather peculiar way. About IL or
IA years ago number of orphans were
sent west from New York, as has been
the custom of the Educational Aid asso.
citation to do every year. Among the
girls sent to Iowa was one who was
adopted by R. B Somerby, a wealthy
banker of Wyoming. He educated her
and treated her as his own child and she
grew up to be prepossessing young
lady. The banker died last January,
leaving the girl, who was known there
as Stella Semsrby, an heir to his estate
After his death Miss Somerby at once
took charge of the banking business and
conducted it until week ago, when one
morning she took the train for Anamoss
and nothing has Since been heard OF her.
The bank was closed and the mis- sing
girl had the combination.
The directors of the bank tried in vain
to learn her whereabouts, and finally be-
coming alarmed sent to this city for Mr.
Fiebig, who went to Wyoming and
opened the safe, which, except few sill
yer coins. was found to be empty. What
is most singular about it is the fact that
Miss Somerby owns more property in the
town than will make good what she took
from the bank. The case is indeed q
peculiar one, and the only explanation
that can be given is that the young lady
has become t. mporarily deranged. All
efforts to get any trace of her have SO
far been fruitless.

CLOSING pRICEs>oF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Thursday, July lap. m
The course OF the stock market to-day dlsap-
pointed popular expectation. There were many
reasons why stocks should have advanced, bht
in spite Of them they declincI. The defeat OF
the Silver bill ought to have stimulated huyng
for European account, but it was anticipated, ana
the action of the House had no more influence
than that OF the Senate. Evidently the SILVER
question is understood in Europe we'll as this
country, and strictly political manocuvres are
estimated at their full worth. There was no active
selling Of stocks when the conservative branch
of the National Legislature voted in favor OF
free coinage, and naturally, perhaps there wae no
eager buying when 10 was discovered mat the
Presidential veto was not needed ~ defeat the
presunptuous action OF the Federal Senate The
dulness Of speculation In Europe is not due I"
fears about silver legislation, Or any other
economic questions, but rather 10 prevailing In
difference. The general election there and the
approaching election in this country are adequate
Reasons for suspcnding merely speculative opin-
ions IL was not surprising, therefore, that the
defeat of the Free Coinage bill was not followed
by sharp rally in the prices Of sticks Traders
who had bought the prominent shares for no other
reason prompt sellers when they l"uhd Herc
