In 1885. when the free delivery service
was established in Rock Island, Mr..
Browner's petition for position on the

He was appointed. and for two years

was released and his companion was sen.
fenced to 80 days in the county jail.
The last panel of petit jurors was dis
charged this morning, all the jury cases
for the term having been disposed of
There has been some dissatisfaction ex-
pressed by members of the bar that the
term should of necessity be so abruptly
brought to close, as cases Of import
ance remain on the calendar undispssed
OF and must 60 over to the May term.
The time allotted to each county is such,
however, that Judge Smith could remain
no longer than this week here and the
other judges are likewise busy.
Judge Glenn is in the city today, to
look after some unfinished business.

Not before in Rock Island have the ex

announcement of death, been more
general and sincere than those which
have been heard over the passing away
of George B Brewner. Everybody liked
him. While he lived no one had other
than kind words for him. His death has
added tenderness and love to the esteem

THE FAULT-FINOER.

The Souvenir Stamp said te Possess Some
Defects.
A close look at one of the new memo,
rial stamps issued by the postoffice de-
psrtment reveals curious, if not remark
able, blund5r on the part of some one.
Take the new cent denomination. 1t
is a pretty thing to look at, but there is
a bad eye sore on the face of the highly
colored memorial. The scene represents
ed by the picture on the face of the new
stamp is Columbus in Sight of Land "
That is the engraving represents such a
scene, but look little closer and you will
find that poor Christophers name is mis-
spelled. Ii s'ead of the plain name Of the
great discoverer, Postmaster Wannsmak-
ers new stamp hss The name Of Columbus
spelled thus: "C>o -l>u>m ,r-u~s." Instead
OF reading Columbus In Sight of Land, "
the reading in capitals below the engrsv>
lag on the face of the stamp Is: Col
umbus in Sight of Land" Columbus is
clear "out of sight" while COLUMBUS in
Sight OF Land" will stare Americans in
the face for months to come.
All the pocket microscopes in the land
are being turned upon the new memorial
half dollar, also. The W which is en-
graved on the highly embroidered collar
of Columbus coat is the object of inter-
est there. 1t is intended to carry the
name Of the designer down to future
generations. That gentleman had long
head and it was in the right place.
Without the souvenir coin he would
probably have remained undiscovered
along with the rest of u.s.

was q great shock to the community in

had been sick out little over two weeks.
but the most alarming symptoms had be-
come manifest in the early stages of the
disease typhoid fever-snd hence the
attending physician had viewed the case
with grave fears for some days past. Mr..
Browner's natural persistency had led
him to keep about while the mslady was
fastening itself upon him. He did not
yield until forced to and when he did
give up he succumbed rapidly to the pro-
gress of disease which attacked him
with such ravsging effect that medical
skill was unsvailins in the presence Of it.
and death fingered not long in claiming
its s2ining mark.
4 Self Made Man.
Mr.. Browner made himself what he
was. Born IN Moline April 90, 1854, of
Swedish parents, natures sole endOw-
ment to him wss an honest heart and 4
willing hand. Early in life he was of me-
cessity forced to look sitter himself. IN
til he attained the age of IA years he at
tended school; then the family removed
TO Rock Island, and George went to work
In the old saw mill, which was located
where the c., R 1. g. P. round house now
stands. From sunrise to sunset he
toiled z3slously, turning his small earn
ings as he received them into the support
of the family, while his evenings were
spent reading and studying and improv-
ing his mind, acquiring those advantages
which higher school education such as
he was denied. would have given him.
In 1880 he entered the employ Of the
old Moline & Rock Island horse rail-
road and he served the company fsithful-
ly and well for five years. The full bur
den OF supporting large family fell up
on his shoulders at this time, and IA to
10 hours day. exposed TO all kinds of
weather, seven days a week, was a seYer1
hardship. He made no murmur, how
ever, but rather cultivated the happy sum
shiney disposition by which ne Was
known. His fsithfulness to duty at
tracted not only the personal atter ton OF
John Warner, then the president Of the
street car company, but Of such men as
E P. Reynolds and Porter Skinner, both
of whom took an interest in him and the
latter finally offered him good position
which was accepted. Ia dis lay we'd the
same Industrious. modest habits in his
work for Mr.. Skinner during his years
employment and won that gentlemsn's
confidence and esteem in u measure that
stood him we'll in after years, as indeed
did the friendship and attachment
Messrs. Warner and Reynolds had for
him.

Onward glided Saprani, her lustrous
sides tense with voluptuous longing,
while the toumril warbled louder and
louder, and the coral and crystal pend
ants sparkled red and white, and the
player swung his body from side to side
In the mystic rapture of the melody. And
now Saprani's head rose in the air. and
her body coiled beneath until half her
sinuous grace was lifted above the floor
and waved to and fro like the waving OF
reeds in the breeze that breathes upon
the banks of Indian rivers. Her bright
eyes sparkled and the dark mombranous
hood expanded on either side cf her deli
cate and deadly jaws. Drunk-drunk
she was with the keen intoxication of the
thrilling music!
The notes died away, the toumril left
the players lips, and Saprani sank nerve
less on the Indian carpet. Then with
gentle, caYessing tones he spoke to her
and drew her toward him with his hands.
She yielded herself, obedient and droop-
ing. he lifted her and laid her softly
about his neck. Her chilly coils touched

tNoTE.-I have taken such liberties with this

tNoTE.--I have taken such liberties with this
journal as seemed to me best calculated to pro-
mote the interests and stimulate the interest
of the reader. Mr.. Mainwaring probably did
not write with q view to publication, and he
often has turned aside to treat Of matters
which do not belong TO the strange story that
was developing under his observation. Such
passages have generally been expunged and
the narrative made to read as much as possible
like an ordinary novel told in the first person.
On the other hand, there is a certain leisureli-
ness and circumstantiality about Mr.. Main
warnings style, and he possesses a sense of ar
tistic propriety and of dramatic effect which
have been of infinite service to his editor.
Though his journal could have been meant
only for his own reference or amusement, he
seemed instnctively to aim at a completeness
and symmetry rarely met with In that species
of compositions Very rarely indeed have !
been obliged to interpoate facts not conveyed
in the text. For the rest few transpositions,
here and there verbal emendation and occa-
sionally a change in the form of narration
cover the limits of my labors OF course ]
might simply have used the materials at my
command to make up regular novel. But IT
seemed to me that the effect of the tale was
much enhanced by the fact that the teller of it
was not only himself one of the characters in
II, but did not know at the time he was tell
ing 1t what the next day or hour might bring
forth. He is quite as much in suspense as the
reader can be, and thus sympathy and conf
denco on the readers part are established
which could not otherwise be attained. DELHI
erately planned artistic surprises are lost, but
the compensating advantages are ample. An
earthquake, a murder, thunderbolt, an elope-
ment, are startling enough in themselves with
out being lied up to-" Moreover, l no longer
