Coroner McCortney. of Scott coun-
ty. received word Yesterday of the
suicide of John F. Richenberg, a re-
tired dairyman. living in Black
Hawk. He went at once to the home
of the man. and found that the act
had been committed in the cellar of
the new house just erected by Rich
enberg. He had hanged himself with
wire that he had bent in the form
of slip-noose. At 10 o'clock he
lunched with his family. and at about
1880 was found as stated He was
taken down. still warm, but attempts
to bring him back to life were futile
About month ago deceased was
overcome by heat, falling to the floor
in a West Davenport store. and since
then at times he has exhibited evil
dences of partial alteration. 1t is
supposed that while in one of these
spells the deed was committed.
Mr.. Richenberg was in his 9th
year. He was a native OF Germany.
but had lived in this country for So
years ard served in the cause of
Union in the civil war. He was we'll
to-do. and his family relations were

a Dehauch ON the River

The Lone Star and barge took an
excursion out on the river last even
ing which proved anything but a Sc
lect affair. 1t was purely Daven-
port enterprise, though some Rock
Island people went aboard. 1t was
evidently gotten up for a debauch,
and in this respect it was success.
The inhabitants of Bucktown of both
sexes were given free tickets, and no
regrets were sent. The boat had
hardly left the shore when the time
began and pandemonium reigned on
board until the boat landed again.
Men and women participated with
equal fervor in the melee, and one
could get fight at the drop of the
hat. Beer glasses flew right and left
and one Rock Island young man was
Knocked senseless by one of these
missiles. Men and women fought
alike, and for those who did not care
to Join in the free-for-all, bar had
been considerably provided, while a
game of chuckluck and other devices
OF similar character for those who
cared to indulge. 1t was a most dis
graceful affair in every respect.

Miss Belle Richardson Has an Exciting
Experience i'm Chicago
The Chicago papers of today relate
rather exciting experience, which
Miss Belle Richardson, daughter of
j. j. Richardson, of the Davenport
Democrat, had in Chicago yesterday
day afte, noon. In company with
William Ficklen, Miss Richardson
was walking along Drexel boulevard
near Fortv-ninth street, when she
was confronted by young man, who,
at the point of a revolver, demanded
her diamond pin, at the same time
.clutching at her throat. He seized
the pin and Immediately afterward
aimed a blow at young Ficklen, so
that young man says, that staggered
him. Ficklen recovered himself
quickly and returned the blow with
his cane. inflicting an ugly wound
ouer the highwayman's left eve. A
second blow followed the first. which
left n similar mark over the right
eye.
Caught and C.ubbed,
The highwaymen then turned and
ran toward Cottage Grove avenue,
followed by Mr.. Ficklen, beating him
a: every step. The retreat con-
tinued until Cottage Grove avenue
was reached. Here the highway
man hesitated for an instant for a
cable train was approaching. While
| he hesitatcd ticklen came, it is said
by those who saw it. near enough to
deal him blow full upon the head
which knocked him senseless. Flick
len beat the PROSTATE man until the
passengers from the train. which
had stopped, pulled him away. The
semi-conscious man was then put on
board the train and carried to For
tieth street where an officer was
found, to whom he was delivered.
The prisoner was taken to the HYDE
Park police station where he gave
the name OF I. G. Wooden He
claimed to be a respectable travel.

Cities on the Rock Island Fortunate so Far
sRegards the Rush East.
The ARGUS of yesterday mentioned
in connection with a conversation
with Supt. Bessler, of the c., B. &
O.. the great rush east of the unem-
ployed in Colorado. So far, the c.,
r. |. & Z. does not seem to have cap
tured its quota of the present gratui-
tous through business on Colorado
emigrants. The crowd has surged
along the Translate lines both north
and south of us. Monday Ottumwa
and Burlington played hosts for sew
eral hundred men who were out of
work and bound east. Tuesday
Clinton had its turn. The Herald of
that date has the following:
When No. %. an east-bound
freight train, pulled into Gin
ton at 1920 a. m. today, the
tops of the box cars were literally
black with men who were bound for
the east, and notwithstanding the
fact that they had no money, they
had good prospect of reaching their
! destination. They are from the
panic-cursed districts of Colorado.
They are now called tramps because
they were forced to leave the places
where they have been at work. and
seek new fields of labor. They came
down from the mountains after the
| silver mines were shut down, and
finding no work in Denver started on
the long walk eastward over the
burning sandy plains of western
Nebraska As they came along their
| number increased until there were
enough of them to take forcible pos
session of the trains and ride free.
AT Grand Island. Neb., Monday they
were given 4 basket picnic by sym
/ pathizing citizens. and as they were
| determined to come on eastward the
| |. p. road furnished them with two
| empty box cars to ride in. All who
could get in the cars did so and the
balance climbed on top of the train.
There were 250 of them when they
reached that city. They marched in
Il body across the bridge. and when
| Conductor CASTOR. of No. %. gave
the order to Engineer Montgomery
to pull out" the large body OF
busted men climbed on board.
! Threats and remonstrance were OF
no avail and they were allowed to
ride. AT Missouri Valley Go were
offered and accepted transportation
to the wheat fields of Dakota. AT
| other points along the road numbers
Of them were offered work by the
farmers and they willingly accepted.
Clinton Feeds Them
Word has been telegraphed ahead
that something be provided for them
here, and before the train pulled out
the patrol wagon was on hand with
500 sandwiches and an abundance OF
hot coffee, paid for out of the pocket
of Mayor Hughes. which was given
! to the hungry men.
After partaking of the sumptuous
bill of fare they filled their pockets
with the remaining buns and were
| profuse in their thanks for the favors.
Then they went back to the train
and climbed aboard. They say it is
hard travelling. but it is their only
hope of escaping the starvation that
| awaited them in the Colorado min
ing region.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Seyeral weeks
ago the immigration bureau issued or
ders prohibiting the passage of immi-
grants into the United States over the
Canadian railways except during the
daytime. This was expected to be all
that was necessary to prevent any vic.
lation of the immigration laws But
recent Developments have shown gross
abuses with tais restriction, and Super
intendent Stump is drawing up set of

their recurrence The scheme as out
lined is still very crude, but it includes

LONG FIGHT PROBABLE.

No Indication That the Sherman
Law Will Be Promptly Repealed.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The first move
when the extra session meets is said to
be a joint resolution authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to suspend the
purchase Of silver for thirty or sixty
days and then let the fight come on the
main question of the repeal. It is said
the silver men will agree to this in Or
der 10 gain time for organization.
The intention to form giant silver
lobby, literally supplied with money,
to come to Washington to defeat inan-
cial legislation is something which may
we'll be feared. When the Sherman
law was passed there was silver lobby
present that was dangerous, and even
went so far as to mix prominent men
in congress in its mesh, necessitating
congressional investigation, which was
thought then to be whitewashing af-
fair. A silver lobby
With Abundant Funds
and large profits in silver pool to offer
may make trouble. Every representa-
tive from district infected with free
silver fanaticism will be threatened
that thousands of dollars will be spent
to defeat his nomination and election,
while if his vote is cast with the silver
men, money for his return will be
promised. Many members of congress
will fear to vote their honest convic-
tions with this silver vulture watching
and ready to destroy them.
There are great many rumors, prob
ably put in motion by the silver advo-
Gates here, that any financial legislation
in the coming session will be resisted in
the senate by the same methods which
defeated the election bill and kept back
the anti-option bill until it was sure of
defeat in the heuse for want Of time.
A Determined Minority
can do much in the senate. Senators
Teller and Stewart declared during the
last congress that repeal of the Sher-
man law could not pass the senate as
long as men could talk. The rules of
the senate are loose, and there has long
been felt necessity for changing them
SO vote may be had after reasonable |
time. If long winded speeches and
other modes Of flibustering are at
tempted the majority will be compelled |
to make it matter Of physical endur- |
relief may make the minority so small
the majority can pass the repeal with
out resort to extraordinary methods.

Nothing Eut Miracle Can Prevent a

CHICAGO, July 3.-Nothing but a
miracle can prevent serious passen-
ger rate war in the West The meet
ing of the transcontinental lines, which
has been in session at the Wisconsin
Central Office, came TO a conclusion
without having come anywhere near an
adjustment of the war among the
Great Northern and other transconti-
mental roads. The Great Northern per-
sisted in its demand that tourist Sleep
ing cars must be abandoned OF run as
regular sleepers, if it is to consent to
restoration of rates. Besides, it pre-
ferred to take no action in the matter
until it has had conference with the
Canadian Pacific and settled its trouble
with that line. The Canadian Pacific
is angry clear through and declines to
attend any meetings with the Great
Northern and combined lines until the
Great Northern first restores tariff
rates. Of course, the Great Northern
has no intention whatever of doing SO.

Sunday Opening.

The open Sunday is a bare success
financially, bat the light attendance on
these days during June was instru-
mental in keeping the average daily at
tendance below the 100000 mark.
There are tco many exhibits closed on
Sunday to give the fair bright appear
ance and this, it would seem, conveys
to some people the idea that they are
not getting what they term "their
moneys worth" This fact added to
the well known antipathy of the Sab
batharians to Sunday opening will
probably work to the greater OF less in
jury Of Sunday fair.
The United States government is
keeping its building closed on Sundays
and this is i'll itself a powerful draw
back, FOR this building contains
much to delight and entertain.
