The Joint County Bridge.

Committees of supervisors of Rock
Island and Whiteside counties and
representatives of the towns of Cor
dova and Albany held a meeting
Wednesday at the bridge lately
erected across the Meredosia. Their
purpose was to inspect it. A trac-
ton engine weighing 1000 pounds
was run over it twice without plank
ing it. and also stopped twice on the
bridge. The test was satisfactory to
the different committees and the
bridge was accepted. The new
bridge is of steel. excepting the road
bed, which is hard pine. 1t is a sim
gle span 200 feet long with two ap-
proaches, each Is feet long, and cost

CREATED A Juror.


i. r. Nofton's Exposure In Rock Island OF
Legislative ROtteuness.
The address delivered by I. p. Nor
ton. of Galesburg, before the State
Undertakers' convention in this city
Wednesday. in which he exposed the
corruption of the Illinois legislators
in connection with q bill to promote
the sanitation of the state by insuring
efficiency in the embalming process
by licensed operators has created a
sensation throughout the state.
The Committee Members.
The Chicago members of the sani-
tation committees are up in arms
over the allegations of Mr.. Norton.
David f. Shanahan, member Of the
committee, SAYS the measure was
voted down because it was class leg
islation. '.As l remember the pro.
posed law" he continued, .'it pro-
vided for board of state examiners.
which was to regulate embalming.
1t was the same sort Of bill as the
plumbers, horseshoers' and drug
gists' measures. My recollection OF
the matter is not distinct, but l
know the committee did not favor
that kind of q law. 1 never heard
any charge of boodling until I.saw
the dispatch in the paper"
Daniel F. Curley. another Chicago
member of the sanitation committee,
said about the same thing: IF Mr..
Norton has any charges to make why
doesn't he come out and make them,
and not cast odium on every men,
Der of the committee by vague insin-
uations. The sanitation committee
was not regarded as an important
one and never attended many of its
meetings. really am not certain
what was done with the undertakers'
BILL"
Charles p. Bryan said he had never
attended meeting of the sanitation
committee and never had heard o!
the measure in question. Il think
Mr.. Norton should make his charges
more specific" said Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Norton aud the Go-Between.

passed was introduced by Frank Muir.
dock, the member from this district
Jan. 80, 1895. About week or IL
days after the bill was referred tt
the sanitation committee a member
of the legislature who acted as a go
between between the committee and
Mr.. Norton arrived in Galesbure
and hunted the undertaken up. The
visitor promised to let Mr.. Norton
know from time to time of the pro
gress of the bill. and to notify him il
case it should be necessary for him
to come Springfield. A few days af.
ter this interview the go-between re-
turned and brought information that
the committee had made no progress
with the bill and that money would
be needed to secure a favorable re
port on it. Mr.. Norton positively
refuses to disclose the name of the
go-bctween. 1t would simply be hi.
word against that of the go-betweer
and nothing would be proved. HI
regrets exceedingly that he was mo-
able to effect a scheme that would
bring the rascals to justice"

Remarkable Span of Life.

On q tombstone in Landau Centre.
n. H :, is the following inscription
Widow Susanna Brownson was born
August 3. 1899, and died June -,
1902, aged 103 years" This is the
record of life which took in parts OF
the 18th and 10Th centuries and the
whole Of the 18th century. AS the
average Of human life is increasing in
modern days, it is probable that
some infants now living will continue
to live until the year 1000 A. D.
They would then be not so old as
are number Of persons who have
died considerably exceeding q CEN
tury within recent years. It is likely
also that the number Of centenarians
IN proportion to population will be
much greater during the goth CEN
tury than it has been in the 18th.
We frequently hear the span Of hui
man life spoken Of as seventy years,
and if it goes to four score it means
labor, weakness and sorrow. But a
still older record in the Bible makes
one hundred and twenty years the
natural period Of human life. To
that age Moses lived, and we are
told of him that Ibis eyes were not
dimmed nor his natural force
abated." Many who now die early
from contagious diseases have ma
tural vitality which should insure an
advanced age, and will when medical
science learns how to control these
diseases and make them harmless.

Killed BY Carrying Gold.

Mr.. F. R. Carter, who is in the BIZ
cycle and sewing machine business,
confirms the report that his wife,
Ellen Carter, is now the heir to
property worth abont $500, 900.
Mrs. Carter is one of the seven
daughters of Mrs. Bridget Egan, who
died at Greensburg, Penn, about a
month ago. Mrs. Egan at the time
of her death was over ninety years Of
ageand was SD. i.r"agTiSse gise eSs Teionged e 70 20
a good old Irish family. Early in
life she went to Pennsylvania with
her husband, and for fifty years she
lived in Greensburg. Her son, Frank
Egan. was sent to college, and while
pursuing his studies became &C
quainted with James G. Blaine.
Young Egan studied law and settled
in San Antonio, Texas, wnen that
city was miles away from railroad.
The young man was prosperous, and
soon owned large amount Of prop
erty in the Texas city.
He was taken sick, and went home
and died. His mother assumed con-
troll of the property he left. She
went to San Antonio to look after
her interests, and disposed of part
of the real estate. She received pay
ment in gold for the property, and
the problem with her was to get the
gold home. She finally hit upon
the plan of putting the metal into
sacks, which were bound about her
chest. In this way she succeeded in
getting the money to her Pennsyl-
vania home, but the weight of the
metal upon her chest gave her heart
disease, with which she was always
troubled after making the journey.
Mrs. Egan paid the taxes on the
San Antonio property, and now that
she is gone, her daughters are heirs
to about twenty-five acres of land in
the Texas city. Besides this real
estate, the old lady left property in
Galveston, Texas; Washington,
Greensburs, Penn, and in Amherst,
Canada. She never said much about
her holdings, and it was not until a
short time before her death that the
members of her family knew that she
owned any property in Canada. To
all of Mr.. Egan's daughters were
afforded excellent opportunities for
good education, and some of them
became expert linguists.

Once the island had a narrow escape
of becoming the site OF gambling
casino like that of Monte Carlo. Ger
tain British spectators desired to &C.
quire the place for this purpose, and
the proposal was likely to be enter
tained, but the Government ultimately
prohibited the sale. On the island
there is a peculiar breed of wild goats
whose jaws and teeth are covered with
O golden enamel. It is believed that
this is derived from the water on the
island, which contains large quan-
tity OF mineral matter.-New YORK

The Sherif's Ruse.

A deputy sheriff yesterday started
from the Receiving Hospital with two
insane men who had been committed
to the asylum at Ukiah.
''You had better take some along to
help you unless you want to have some
trouble" suggested one of the police
surgeons. 'sTwo men I should think
would be too many for you"
"Not much. It is easier to take
two men than one. I'll show You how
/ do it"
The deputy led the man, who imag-
ined he was King Of England, to one
side and confdcl to him:
''Your Majesty, that man over
there, indicating the man who thought
his head was nm eight-day clock, "is
as crazy as bedbue, and is Liable to
hurt some of your subjects if he gets
loose. I want you to help me take
care of him till I Gun lock him up in
the asylum
"Thnt's m unseemly occupation for
the King of England. Bah! Attend
ant to the insane!' remarked the dis.
gusted monarch. "But I will do it.
I like adventure. You will take due
precaut!on to conceal my identity or
your head will be the price of your
carelessness.
The deputy whispered to the human
clock.
"Do yon SEQ that fellow over
there?' indicating the king. well,
he's crazy, and if you don't keep your
face toward him he's liable to stop
your hands and touch off your alarm.
Now, I want you to help me watch
him till I can land him in the asylum.
Then you can run right along.
When the deputy left the hospital the
king and the clock had locked arms
and were hanging to each other des-
perately. The deputy smoked an,l
read all the way to Ukiah, while the
insane men took care of each other. --
