The Street walking Question Taken In
Hand BY Chief Etzel.
The interview published in THE
ARGUS Saturday evening on the evil
of young girls walking the streets at
night and being eventually led into
the paths Of ruin. as more worthy OF
the attention Of reformers than the
crusades which have been conducted
in Rock Island, has already been at
tended by good results. Chief Etzel
has given Instructions to his force
that all girls and young women max.
ing practice of parading the streets
at nights, and who it becomes ap-
parent have no good purpose, be ar.
rested by the police under the
vagrancy act. Pursuant to this order
Officer Miller arrested Nellie Livings.

hearing was set for this afternoon.

The Parting of the Roads.
The Watermelon Crop.

On inquiry being made by the
Muscatine Journal among the many
melon raisers in the vicinity of Mus
catine and the lower end of this
county relative to the prospects for
melons and the time we may expect
them to make their appearance in
the market, it was learned that while
the crop will be large one. the bet
ter and larger quality will not reach
the market until about the middle or
latter part of this month. 1t has
been stated that homegrown melons
have been contracted for and de-
livered during the past week, but a
representative grower stated, on be-
ing Intercepted on that point, that
these contracts were all wind and
that the goods have not been deliv-
cred. The seasons are not many
when the Muscatine island melon
growers have had to encounter SO
many disadvantages as was their ILL
luck to experience this season. The
tender vines were first nipped by the
frost and later the scarcity of mois-
ture accompanied by two sand
storms caused the growers to think
that the yield would be an entire
failure. The late rains, however.
have placed different phase on
things and now although the crop
will be considerably later than
usual, the indications are that it will
be nearly if not fully as large as
heretofore.
Melons supposed to have been
raised on the island have been offered
for sale. but they are of a very in
ferior quality. especially in regard to
size. Texas melons by the car load
are still being received and find
a ready market, which could not be
the case if the nice, juicy. luscious,
fruit of the Muscatine island could be
secured.

A PITiFUl PARTING.
A Very Sad Scene Indeed 1t Peoria
Recently.

A Very Sad Scene Indeed ut Peoria
Recently.
Here is a little sketch, penciled
from real life. right in the heart Of
the city Of Peoria. 1t is not much.
Only line here and curve there.
but let the reader fill them in and
one will have a vivid picture-a clear
cut act in the weird tragedy of hu-
man existence.
Old, bent and gray is Mrs. Martha
Lieg, and insane withal. She has no
sons or daughters. no relatives save
her husband, and he is an inmate OF
the Soldiers Home at Quincy. They
met in the county court in Peoria,
but there was no necessity to hold an
inquisition, as it was shown that she
had already been an inmate of three
asylums for the insane. If she was
sent to the state institution she
would only be sent back to Peoria
county as an insane pauper, so it
was resolved to keep her at the
county Jail until the superintendent
OF the poor farm could come into
town and get her. And there at the
court house door stood the old cou.
pie. at the end of long life of con-
nubiality. The rime of age was in
their lusteriess eyes; gone forever
we're the hopes. the joys. the ambi'
tons and, alas! the affections oil
youth. or the mellower sympathies
of maturity.
The Pa rfIn1 of the Roads
Here they had come over many
weary miles of life to the parting
ways. The road now lay at the fool
of the hill and here it diverged
There was last pressure of the
hand, last kiss-sympathetic per
hlps in one, but unmeaning in the
other. They parted-he to 90 to
the Soldiers Home and she to the
poor house to herd with the paupel

Criticised at Washington.
A Washington dispatch of today
says: 1.-The hasty action of the cor
oner's jury at the inquest over the
body Of young Ernest Green, who
was killed by Miss Flagler Friday
last. is being severely criticised by
all classes of people in Washington.
and the verdict is universally con.
demned. One Of the jurors pu6-
lished today a card. to exonerate
himself, in which he stated that it
was not his intention nor the inten-
tion of another member OF the jury,
that Miss Flagler should escape the
grand jury, and he claims that the
verdict as rendered and signed was
sufficient to hold her. He says that
after the verdict was handed to the
coroner, counsel for the defendant
suggested that the words and from
the evidence we cannot hold the
prisoner be inserted.

Under q Misrepresentation.

1.-The coroner, the juryman SAYS,
wrote the words before the sigma.
lures. four of the jurors giving their
permission, the other two remaining
silent. Through ignorance of the
law and the effect of the added words
upon the verdict the two jurors did
not offer an objection, feeling conf
dent that the coroner, who was
aware Of their determination to have
Miss Flagler brought before the
grand jury, would do nothing to
thwart them"

LAW ABOUT TWO BODIES.
Walter :. McArthur's Suit Against
His Fnther-in-la W.

Walter =. McArthur's Suit Against
His Father-in-la
Walter S Macarthur asked the court for
an Injunction against his father-in-law,
Edmund F Lawson, yesterday afternoon,
to restrain him from taking any steps to
prevent the complainant from removing the
remains OF his dead wife and child from
Glenwood Cemetery to Oak Hill. The su-
perintendent of GIenwood Cemetery is
also made party defendant to the suit.
Mr. Macarthur stated in his petition that
his wife, who was the daughter of Lawson,
died last April, and a month later the
youngest child OF Macarthur died. Both
were buried in Lawson's lot in Glen
wood
1t was the wish OF Macarthur, he said in
his petition. that the two be inferred in
Oak Hill, but at the earnest appeal of
Father iu-Iaw Lawson, who promised to
transfer the ownership of the burial lot to
Macarthur, the wife was buried according
TO her fathers wishes.
Since then, Macarthur stated, Mr.. Law
son has refused to transfer the lot to him,
and he now wishes to remove his dear ones
TO another resting place. He therefore
asks that all the defendant parties TO the
suit be restrained from putting obstacles
in the way of carrying out his intentions

'Ni'fAi Ms
While Policemen Pat Creagh and Thomas
Lynch were patroling their beat about
O'Clock yesterday morning, they were
treated to novel but dangerous electric
display at the corner OF First and H streets
northwest. From some cause the iron pole
at that corner which supports an arc light
became heavily charged with the electric
fluid.
The entire II street current seemed to
concentrate in the pole, and the lights along
that thoroughfare fIickeTed and went out
for few moments. In the meantime the
wooden plug III the top OF the iron pole
became ignited and q red and blush flame
shot There was crac ckling
and sputtering sound and great showers
Of electric sparks were emitted along the
entire length OF the tall metallic pole.
While the display of electric pyrotechnics
lasted it presented a dazzling and rather
startling picture.

view the sight turned to the officers and
said:
