Passing Away If One Of Western Illinois
Oldest Residents.
Samuel Sample, one of the Oldest
residents of western Illinois, passed
away in Moline early this morning
at the advanced age Of 100 years and
3 months. Nearly everyone in this
section either knew or had heard of
this venerable gentleman. who had
farmed in the neighborhood of Pre-
emption since 1888, when he came
west from Ohio when the red man
dominated hereabout. Until the death
OF his wife six years ago MIR. Sam.
pie was actively engaged in his farm
ing pursuits. He then retired and
last year moved to Moline to spend
his remaining days. Notwithstand-
ing his old age, Mr.. Sample
got around as sprightly as in
younger days and continued to
do so until recently, when a slight
cold brought him down to the bed
from which he never arose. Seven
children survive. two daughters and
his wife going before him; Mrs.
Sarah NJ. Moore. Moline; James and
Levi. Moline; G. W., Rock Island ;

AFTER THE ATTORNEYS.

Schemoss Attempt y New Game on the
Barristers.
Several Rock Island attorneys who
have been visited by two strangers
during the past few days have ar
rived at the conclusion now that an
attempt to victimize them was the
object of the men, who related that
they had good case against a rail-
road company. When u lawyer is
singled out as an easy mark for the
flim-flam game it is difficult to esti-
mate the extent of American nerve.
These two men were fairly well
dressed and had the appearance OF
railroad employees and such they rep.
resented themselves to be. They
said an intimate friend of theirs
while connected with the Rock Island
road in a height boring city fell from
hex car down under the wheels,
which passed over both hands and
necessitated their amputation. The
accident, they continued, was en-.
tirely due to the railroad com any,
because of a rung on the car ladder
being loose and giving way when
caught hold of. In fact the com.
pany SO far anticipated a damage
suit as to make overtures for a com
promise and offered the man 81. 800
But they replied nit-believing a
jury would double the amount many
times.
The Introductory part of the game
ii such it was-sounded all right
but when the men said they were on,
of employment and needed some
finances to bring their friend here
and properly care for him pending
the close of his suit, the lawyer
dropped the case instantly with the
reply that he only made presents on
Christmas day. Most of the lawyers
were visited by these men, who EVIL
IDENTITY found Rock Island an unsuc.
cessful field. Chief Etzel has a de-
scription of the men and is on the
look out for them.
Fooled the Women.
Some forty Rock Island ladies who
called at Davenport hotel vester.
day to participate in grand prize
drawing promised them by an agen,
of whom they purchased a lotion to
remove freckles are no doubt wiser
today. There was no prize drawing
neither was the agent about The

MAY MOVE TO ATLANTA.
The Headquarters of the Southern
Railway May be Changed.

New YORK, July 31.-A committee of
citizens of Atlanta, Ga, including dele
gates to the Chamber of Commerce, met
President Spencer of the Southern Rail
way Company today for the purpose of
endeavoring to induce the railway to re-
move its headquarters to Atlanta. The
general views presented to the President
were that Atlanta was the logical
center of the system and re-
ceives more business there than
at any point of its line, and, as
the important depot of the Southern
system, it should be made the head
quarters of the company. The delega-
ton is composed of S. F. Woodson,
President of the Chamber of Commerce
of Atlanta; Hon. Porter King, Mayor of
Atlanta; Fl. Fl. Cabaniss, manager of the
Atlanta Journal; Capt. Evan P, Howell,
T B. Nealy, R. D. Spalding, R. NJ. Far
rar, eX Governor B. Bullock; J. E. Mad
dox and W. @. Sanders.
President Spencer, when seen by a re-
porter of the Associated Press, after the
meeting, stated that he and Vice Presi
dent Andrews, of the Company, had
heard the views Of the delegation and
the points they made in favor of the
change of the Company's head
quarters from Washington to At
lanta. He declined to express
any opinion on the subject, saying
that of course he could not, at this
time, say what action the company
would take in the premises. The mem
bers of the committee, he said, had
stated the case very forcibIy and earn
estly, and what they said would be care
fully weighed and considered by the
company.

company to unearth the frauds which
were being practiced at Beaufort, n. O..
| They received a tip from some anony-
nous correspondent about three months
ago, and the wholesale arrests yesterday
were the result of the investigation
started by this company. The official
who had charge of the case is on Cape
| God, but Mr.. J. R. Roland Corthell, one
the company's adjusters, gave a press
representative an outline of the case as
he heard it discussed in the Office. He
says:
Gas Overhearn the discussion got the
impression that there was very com
plete plot to defraud the insurance COM
pany, but / cannot tell you how many
were connected with it or their names
AS | understand the case, we appointed
an agent to take charge of that territory
about year ago. In the course of time
we wrote policies for several persons in
Beaufort, N. O. The papers were pro-
perly made out and everything seemed
to be done in legitimate manner. Then
we were notified of deaths, one after an
other until three claims had been made.
''We carried about dozen policies rep
resentlng face value Of between $50, 600
and 500, 900. The last claim was on &C
count of the death of a Mrs. Freda Will
liams. Just about that time we received
an anonymous letter to the effect that
our agent in Beaufort was taking risks
which no insurance company would
think of taking if all the facts were
known at the main Office. We imme-
diately sent an inspector to investigate
the matter, and he Immediately notified
us not to pay any of the claims. 1t
seems that our agent had organized a
regular band of conspirators to defraud
insurance companies all over the coun-
try.
''The plot involved men Of previous
high standing in the community. They
had written policies on persons who were
even then on their death beds. Some
were sick at the time the policies were
made out on their representations that
the insured were healthy and a proper
risk. Some of the persons did not know
that they had been insured. Some were
insured for large amounts who were liv-
ing in AFFECT poverty and could not pay
dollar for insurance.
MOI one or the policies, as l under
stood the case, was proper risk for
reputable insurance company to take.
Yet, so complete was the organization of
the cOnspirators that all tie papers bore
the necessary endorsers. Nothing was
missing which could in any way arouse
suspicion at the home Office
You must remember that ours is only
one of the vietimized companies. The
same deception was practiced in the
other cases.
we are satisfied that Mrs. Williams was
murdered in order to secure the insur
ance money. There are suspicious cir
cumstances surrounding other cases, and
we purpose to push the investigation
until the whole plot be exposed, no mat
ter who is involved ia it."

Prominent Visitors to Raleigh Yester~
day Opened the Way tor North Caro-
lima to be Represented at the Expo
sition.
It now looks as if, after all, our good
old North State is to have place in the
great Atlanta Exposition. Yesterday
DR.. David T. Day, Of the U. S. Geologi-
cal Survey, and chief of the Mining De
partment Of the government exhibit at
Atlanta, and DR.. B. E. Pernow, chief of
the U. S. Division of Forestry, ard chief
of the Forestry Department of the gov
eminent exhibit at Atlanta, visited the
officers of the State Agricultural Depart
ment with view of borrowing, for use
in nice space allotted to North Caro-
lima by the exposition management, a
part of the splendid museum collection.
1t is proposed to take only the economic
minerals, building stones, gems and
such like material as will induce capital
and stimulate development In the fores
try division it is proposed to use the best
of the commercial timbers and such pho
tographs as will most effectively illustrate
the magnificent forests still standing in
the State.
They propose to transport and install
this material free of expense to the State;
the only cost the State is asked to bear
is the expense of tearing down, boxing,
Grating, drayage, &c. For this, we are
informed, that the department has not
dollar. Under the ruling of Judge Sey-
mour, no substantial diversion Of the
funds raised by the tonnage charge en-
fertilizers can be made, hence our State
Department cannot legitimately meet
even so slight an outlay, but Prof. j. A.
Holmes, State Geologist, has agreed to
undertake to raise, by subscription, an
amount sufficient to meet this contin-
gency.
In this way it becomes possible for the
State to be represented to a limited ex-
tent, at least, at this great Southern
event.
And, by the way, these experienced
and trained Government officials, were
perfectly charmed, as we'll as surprised,
to find the splendidly equipped, clean,
orderly and carefully arr, nged Museum:
they said that in no State had they found
such nice collection of really good
things so handsomely and effectively in
stalled as is found in the North Carolina
museum. This is high praise from dis
tinguished experts.
These gentlemen, who stand at the
head of their callings in America, receiv-
ed a warm welcome in Raleigh.
