the latter's little son, went Friday to
visit relatives at Presumption. The
little boy was taken sick Saturday
with cholera infantum in its worst
form and grew worse so rapidly that
yesterday his life was despaired of,
and today no change is reported in
his condition.
States Attorney Searle has for
warded papers to Gov. Altgeld for
the requisition of. H. Waggoner alias
j. W. Sawyer. who is now incarcer-
ated in the city bastile of Clinton,
having been arrested at the instiga-
ton of the local authorities. Sawyer
is wanted in Rock Island for Jump
ing $50 board bill at the Harper.
This, under the Illinois statutes, is a
criminal offense.
A calf with two perfect heads. two
necks. and double spine joined to-
Scther at its tail, was the bovine
prodigy that was born last Saturday
on the farm of John NJ. Friday, FIVE

maj iiNcu OHiN minute or TWO AFTER
birth. 1t is now in the hands of a
taxidermist. and its stuffed pelt will
soon be in Mr.. Fridays possession.
The latter will then be ready to re-
ceivc bids from side show managers
who will covet this pet.
Tomorrow will be the Y. NJ. C. A.
field day at Davenport. and there is
practical certainty that it will be
the biggest athletic event of its kind
that that city has known. barring. of
course. the big turnfests that have
been held there from time to time.
The field contests will take place in
the afternoon, beginning promptly
ut 1:30, on the track at the fair
grounds aud directly in front of the
amphitheatre. There are about a
dozen events and there are 33 Compel
itors entered. most of them for a
number of events. Some hail from
Peoria. others from Muscatine, Rock
Island and elsewhere.

Irricating the Island,

Irrigation in this part of the coun-
try is not so much a myth as it NAV
be thought to he. Down on Musca-
tine island it is success. Last wear
when the melons dried up the aid of
the rainmaker was invoked, and
small good did he do the farmers or
their fields. This summer. when it
became apparent that another relent-
less drouth was upon them, these
same farmers set to work to help
themselves. This they did by driv-
ing wells into the sandy formation of
the island, and attaching to them
steam pumps. Several of these driv
wells would be attached to the same
single pump; enough to give it all
the water it could take. Then the
pump drove the water through pipes
aud hose to distant parts of the field
Waste wood could be used as fuel.
and good energetic pump in the
course of days time would bless
with water a large tract of ground.
The Journals island correspondent
says that drouths there, are now a
thing Of the past. The pumping
plant will always be kept at hand
hereafter, and it will be used when
ever the melons and sweet potatoes
seem to be suffering for drink. The
entire island is sand, and its sub
strata are pcrmeated with the water
from the river. so that wellpoint
driven into it at any spot is sure to
yield an abundant flow of water.
There is no lack Of it, only it must be
pumped. 1t looks as though econo-
my might be secured by substitut-
Ing self-governing windmills for
steam engines. The windmill is
cheaper ut first cost, costs nothing to
run, and with care lasts for years.
II this scheme is placed in operation.
doUth will indeed be banished from
this great garden spot.

myself to find out what had become of

together at Eustol station about half
past eight on the evening of the third.
AT two in the morning Dre5ber had

question which confronted me was to

MATHEMATICAL SIGNS.
How They Were Gradually Reduced to
Their Present Form.

How They Were Gradually Reduced to
Their Present Form.
The sign of addition is derived from
the initial letter of the word ''plus."
In making the capital letter it was
made more and more carelessly until
the top part of the ''p'' was placed near
the center, hence the plus sign was
finally reached.
The sign of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word was
| first contracted into mus, with a hori-
zortal line above to indicate the con-
traction which was a printers freak
that may be found in almost any book
bearing date earlier than the begin
ming of the eighteenth century. After
the lapse of long period of time the
letters were omitted altogether, leaving
only the short line so well known to
I The multiplication sign was obtained
by changing the plus sign into a char
Eacter resembling the letter x. This
was done simply because multiplication
is but shorter form of addition.
Division was formerly indicated by
Fplacing the dividend above a horizontal
I line and the divisor below. In order 10
save space in printing, the dividend
was placed to the left and the divisor
to the right, with simple dot in place
| of each.
The radical sign was derived from
the initial letter of the word ''radix"
The sign of equality is said to have
first been used in the year 1857 by a
sharp mathematician, who adopted it
as a substitute for the words .'equal
to."-St. Louis Republic.

There was young man who had

regular intervals. He made his last

them the names of six girls you knew,
anyone of whom you are likely to
marry. The seventh / will leave
blank. Then / will put the slips in
the envelope with the wedding-ca.ke
and give the whole thing to you.
Now, you must take it and put it un-
der your pillow when you go home. In
the morning, the very first thing after
you open your eyes, you must take out
one slip. Do this for seven mornings in
succession, and on the last slip will be
the name of the girl you are sure to
marry. If the blank comes last you
will never marry"
3. The young man was quite impressed
with the scheme. He took the envelope
and promised faithfully to fulfill all
the conditions, and to come back and
report at the end of seven days. He
went home and put the envelope under
his pillow. Next morning he drew out
a'slip, and on it was the name of the
girl who had given the charm to him.
He thought that that was pretty tough
luck, for he really liked the girl very
much. He was out rather late next
night, and when he awoke he was in q
hurry and forgot all about the charm.
When he got home that night he began
thinking the matter over and wonder
ing who the other girls were.
He got the envelope and peered into
it. The slips were all carefully folded
and he could not see a name. Then
his curiosity got the upper hand. He
took out all the slips and unfolded
them. All of the remaining six had
names on them and in each instance
the name was that of the girl who had
prepared the charm. He sat down and
thought long and earnestly. Then he
put on his evening clothes and went
straight up to that girls house. He
stayed long time and when he came
away he was smiling and happy, and
there is going to be a wedding on the
West Side one of these days.
