Came Near Ending Him

Louis Nj. Washington, who regis
tiers from Pittsburg, while in an
overheated condition and generally
feverish state, got into bath tub
full of cold water in his room at the
Harper this morning, where he was
found later totally unconscious, and,
in fact, in such shape rs to warrant
the gravest alarm. The porter, Pat
rick Callinan, removed him from the
water and worked with him to re-
vive him, while Manager McHugh
hastily summoned physician. DIR.
j. r. Hollowbush responded, and
through his ministrations the patient
revived and now appears to be get
ting along all right. He had appar-
entity been seized with cramps and in
n short time longer would probably
have expired.

POINTING THE PIERS.
Diver at Work Under the Rock Islam,
Bridges.

Bridges.
There is a diver at work on the
piers Of the government bridge. 1t
will be remembe that about two
months ago a diver was brought here
for the purpose of giving the piers
under the government bridge a care
full examination. He spent the
greater part of week under the
water. going about each pier and en-
aiming the condition of the stone
and cement work. At places he
found the cement had worked out
and the rock was beginning to show
the effects Of the wear and tear.
The diver is now back again and is at
work pointing up the piers beneath
the surface of the water. Yes
terday he was at work on the pier
next to the draw.
Now that the new superstructure
is to be placed upon the piers. it be-
comes necessary to point them up
and get them in proper condition for
the work. The work will probably
be completed in q day or two.-Dav-

SUIT AGAINST THE CITY
Mrs. Theresa Lucas Asks $40, 900 for In
juries Sustained by Her Husband.

Mrs. Theresa Lucas Asks $4,000 for In
juries Sustained by Her Husband.
In the circuit court this morning
the suit of Mrs. Theresa Lucas
against the city of Rock Island for
$4,000 damages for injuries sus-
tanned by her deceased husband was
commenced. The proceedings were
originally instituted by Frank Lucas
who will be remembered as q
familiar parsonage about market
square, where he purchased country
stuffs on commission, but his demise
prevented the formal commencement
of the suit under his name. His
wife, Theresa Lucas. was ap-
pointed Administrative of his es-
tate and rs such she now
renews the case to recover the
$4,000. The litigation grows out of
injuries alleged to have been sus-
tanned by Lucas in consequence of a
defective sidewalk on Twentieth
street, on which he slipped and fell
in April, 1898, and broke his left leg
in two places. He was disabled for
life, but soon recovered sufficiently
to be around again. He then began
the damage suit. but died of an
attack of appoplexy while it was
pending.
Jury and Counsel.
The jury impanneled to decide the
case is composed of: Robert Brusso,
Reynolds Hayes, George johnson.
Charles Osterman, Henry Ferrens.

John Martin Is Bound Over to the Cir
cult Court.
John Maftin, of GIG Sixth street,
was bound over to the circuit court
in bonds OF $50 this morning by
Magistrate Schroeder for larceny.
John is a sort of easy7going. inno-
cent-looking, careless lad. who APP
parently didn't realize the serious
ness of taking something that didn't
belong to him. While meandering
around town this morning he halted
in front of Simon & Mosenfelder's
clothing store and got up CONVEX
sation with a boy acquaintance en-
ployed at the establishment. The
clerk was placing some shirts on the
outside for display. During his alb
sence for additional goods John got
his eve on shirt that he supposed
would Just about answer the pur-
pose. and he folded it up and vam-
oosed. The police were notified and
John was landed before he had got
ten far by Officer Kramer. 81 didn't
mean to steal de Shirt" John an
swered the squire, the tears begin
ming to trickle down his cheeks. II
knew de kid and jest wanted to cod
him. l was goin' to fetch it back
again" John didn't think it was
stealing. but the squire did.
Michael Meets an Old Friend.
Michael Boyce, riverman en-
ployed on the Caffery, landed in the

whom he hadn't seen in many years.
They took u few to add sociability
to the occasion. But Michael got
too sociable and absorbed more tina n
his tank could withstand. Captain
Long gathered him in in the evening.
and this morning Michael paid s.
and costs for his celebration.

During the wait after the first heat
of the third race Maud W., one of the
PAGERS distanced in the 2:25 event,
furnished a diversion. Her driver
had her out on the track giving her
a little work. and she gave an exhi-
bition of dancing, ending by rearing
and falling over backwards upon the
sulky and rider. The latter only had
his foot under Maud's shoulder, and
waited until the horse was lifted OF
of him, when he got up unhurt.
Maud stood up OF her accord a
minute later and was re-harncssed
and given some more work. Moth
ing but a checkrein was broken in

.'Be regular and punctual in all
things" was one Of the old maxims
taught long ago. The last is not for
gotten, bat the first is scarce remem-
bered, so irregular is the life of most
people nowadays. The only correc-
tor Of this evil is Simmons Liver
Regulator. which keeps the liver ac-
tive and prevents the ills of irregular
living: Dyspepsia. Biliousness, Con-
