The Jury in the Zeigler murder case
broughtin verdict voluntary manslaugh-
ter. A motion was made for a new trial and
overrued by Judge Faulkner and stay
was allowed to enable the prisoner to obtain
a writ of error. This was hard battle for
seven days from a. m. to 6 p. m, and, we
believe, giving the accused the benefit of all
doubt. it was fair conclusion. The sentence
was two years in the peniteutiary. 1t was
labyrinth of testimony and in the trial
Judge Faulkner showed great executive
ability and quickness in technicalities and
perfect impartiality. Each day found a
crowded courtroom and the heat was so in
tense by reason of the crowd as to twice
render it necessary for the jury to be taken
into the unchecked air. Altogether the case
was most remarkable and complicated one

from that of the Wilson bill, but the aver
age duties in that schedule are not material
" changed. The changes are largely Of
classification, retaining about the same gen.
eral average of duties.
"The pottery schedule is also changed
but not materially.
"The Wilson bill, as it came from the
House, made the average duties under the
bill, as estimated by the Treasury Depart
mept. when reduced to an ad yalorem, basis,
thirty.five per cent. The Senate bill as hrst
reported to the Senate reduced the average
duties on the same basis to thirty-four per
cent. making reduction of per cent. from
theayerage of the Wilson bill. The amend
ments to the Senate bill, as now proposed,
consist very largely of changes restoring
the duties under the Senate bill to what
they were under the Wilson bill, and while
l have seen no statement from the Treasury
Department, estimating the average per-
centsge of duty in the Senate bill, as it Will
stand, modified by the amendments, my i'm
preston is that it will not vary one per
cent. from the Wilson bill on average re-
suits.
81 am also of the opinion that most, if moi
all, of the changes made in the Senate bill
will be approved by the committee Of ways
and means of the House and also by Mr..
Wilson, and that the tariff bill, when pass
ed, will be a genuine Democratic measure,
conforming to the Democratic platform, and
that it will give such satisfaction to the
country that a speedy revival of business
will ensue and another Democratic victory
at the polls will follow in the fall"

The effects of the long continued
drouth are noticeable when one takes
drive through the country. Pas
lures are all dried up, with hardly
green tuft of grass in them. Small
grain has ripened too fast on account
of the heat and dry weather and will
hardly be half crop, while meadows,
which early in the season looked so
promising, never gave a lighter
yield. Potato patches are rapidly
drying up. and nothing on the vines
to speak of. Corn, in some in
stances, appears to be holding its
own against the heat and drouth,
but if a heavy rain does not come
very soon, it, too, will have to suffer.
In this county, however, the golden
grain is in better shape than in al
most any other locality in Illinois.
Statistics are going the rounds,
giving the lengths of noted dry
spells in the middle states during the
summers since 1854. the record
keeper, of course, being among the
oldest inhabitants. The duration of
drouths has been:

OF AGE.
Proud Moline Attains Its Ma
jority.
FOR A MATRIMONIAL OFFER

Rock Island Might Make 1t and be Ac-
cepted-some Exercises In Commemora-
tion of the Evcnt-Thc City's "oldest"
OHciates at the Feast of Reason.
Proud Moline is of age-21 wears
old today-and ready for an offer.
Will Rock Island make itp Is the
old love of infancy that sprouted
when these two sister cities were
little hamlets together still burning.
or has Rock Island grown so old and
important that it has so much to
look after that the thoughts of by
gone days have vanished? Three
ears ago Moline attained the matri-
monial age and Rock Island was
ready to propose. 1t looked as if
the day would be set, but a fierce
looking old man up there
named kerns put on the
airs of a proverbial mother in-law
prematurely, and scared Rock Island
away. Since then three years have
passed, and Kerns has not got his
fair possessions off his hands vet.
He is said to be a severe task master,
too, and no doubt the proud town on
the east would like to have his claims
eradicated, Notwithstanding that
there may be an inclination on Kerns'
part to still maintain ownership,
But Moline is old enough to vote
now and to manage its own affairs.
The law excuses it from further sub
serviency to- the dictates of Mr.
kerns. and it is just probable that
were Rock Island to renew its prop
osition with becoming grace it might
be accepted again, and kerns would
have nothing to say about it. If he
does, what is the matter with an
clopement?
Celebrating ModestIy.
OF course it would not be becom-
ing for the city to observe todav's
occasion, auspicious as it may be, in
too demonstrative manner. Ma
tive modestly forbids that, but there
is quiet celebration going on out at
Prospect park, just the same. in
which the city, through its executive
in an official way, is taking no part.
A. Nj. Hubbard, Moline's ..oldest, - is
master of ceremonies. but we have
not heard whether Kerns is there or
not, The chief address is to be de-
livered by j. b. Oakleaf. There
will be music and talks on the follow
ing topics: Prophecy, .'Woman's Fu-
ture," Mrs. Abbie Gould; Our
Ways" DR.. Dunn; What We Eat, =
Conrad Grantz; A Prophecy, j. W.
War;; Poem, Moline" Mrs. Julia
NJ. Dunn.
After this balloon ascension an6
parachute leap will occur.
There has been some dispute as tc
the actual date of Moline's birth. but
it is understood that kerns' bibl,
gives it at Aug. ,, 1878, and that is
authority.
= At all events Rock Island makes it:
best bow and offers congratulations

happened during the discussion over

Down in Mercer county there lives
a democratic politician named
"Boney" Harrison, who watched the
apportionment proceedings at the
capital with unabated interest, and
when the final bill was adopted
..Boney" hesitated to ask ..whcre
does that place Mercer county?r
.'in the Tenth district" was the
reply.
And what is the political COM
plexion of the new Tenth?" inquired

"Seven thousand five hundred re-
publican" was the answer.
lis Rock Island in the deal with
us?" was Harrison's next question.

ply.
