CALLED THE CONVENTION.

The Republicans Put on an Unpleasant
Task to the Last Moment-PoIiticaI
Notes. g}HStJtst
Chairman Collins and The republi-
can city-township committee met at
the Harper house Saturday evening
and after an extended discussion, de-
termined to call the city township
convention to nominate city Off
GERS at Turner hall Saturday
evening, March IS, the caucuses
to be held the night before.
This is the utmost limit before the
election possible under the Austria
liam ballot system and the spirit of
the committee has very apparently
been to defer all the deliberations as
to caucuses and convention to the
last possible moment within the law,
in order that not only its own party
members, but the public at large may
have the least time admissible to
consider the acts of the caucuses and
convention. Thus" it may be added

by the ARGUS, that f. II. Collins

up for material to go to Missouri al

Oh, is that so! Pray Mr.. Union
don't give yourself any alarm about
people smiling at the idea of Mr.. Col

hard up for smile. and after all
don't know what they are smiling

up his residence in Rock Island, and
| by the way, let the ARGUS offer the
assurance that the democratic party
is not in the habit of going either to

and then finding out where they live
after the election.

Another Theory

There are others who believe his
death was purely accidental, their
theory being that the man had taken
off his coats to 90 down over the en-
bankment and upon coming back had
gone along the cars to find 4 place to
crawl through to the other side being
caught and killed in this way, DR..
Plummer. who examined the body
this morning. holds to this theory.
Enoch Lundy, the night fireman at
the boiler house, which is scarcely 80
feet distant from where the body was
fund, heard nothing of t, nor did
any other of the employees about the
Yards. At any rate the mystery sur
rounding the case will probably new
er by wholly solved.

Hints of Foul Play

As there is no certainty as to how
the unknown man met his fate. there
are numerous theories ventured. The
fact that there are people passing
that way nearly all the time and cs
pecially in the early evening. coupled
with the additional fact that the body
was cold when found, has led to the
belief that the man may have been
murdered possibly by some cOmpan
ions in Il box car and carried along
until the gathering shades of night
gave them an opportunity 10 throw it
out on the tracks. This theory was
supported by the finding OF the mans
two Goats-his undercoat and over
coat-about 10 feet further north
along the tracks. The only marks on
the body are an ugly hole in the right
side of the neck, from which the
blood had flowed copiously. and a
long cash across the upper part OF the
breast near the throat that looks
like the marks from the tlange of Il
wheel. although the mu-ilation is
hardly sufficient to have been pro-
duced by Il car passing over it.

The first witness examined was
Mrs. Maud May Schofer. the mother
of the infant, who testified to the
baby being a sickly child. 1t had
been better during the past few DAYS
and quite well Yesterday Witness
had been up ut 3 a. m. and attended
to the little one and was up again n
little later. She had not been well
herself and did not get up until late,
when she discovered that the baby
was dead.
Roy l.. Schofer, father Of the child,
testified to the manner in which the
child had been treated on the advice
of physicians and of its weak condi-
ton physically. When witness left
for work in the morning he did not
know that the child wss dead.
DR.. G. w. Wheeler, who was called

The body of an unknown man was
found on the main tracks OF the c.,
r. l. & p. road near the approach to
the slough bridge by man on his
way to Davenport last evening about
ESQ O'Clock. Some switchmen and
train men in the vicinity were mott
fled and after it had been ascertained
that the man was dead, the police
station was telephoned, Coroner
Halves, in company with Undertaken
Knox, going up and removing the
body to the. undertaking rooms of
the latter on Twentieth street. Two
west bound freights on the Rock Isl
and, pulled by engines 34S and 319,
had just pulled out and over the

to have been struck by one of these
trains, the inquest will not be held
until tomorrow. when the crews of
