THERE is a.strong and growing sentiment in
the State, at least among the country papers,
in favor Of pardoning the Younger brothers.
but political cowardice is likely to outweigh
sentiments of humanity and thus although the
spirit Of the law has been executed and justice
is satisfied the two brothers are probably
doomed to end their lives behind the walls. at
Saltwater: Albert Lea Standard.
The UNION denies the impeachment.
The Youngers sought to enrich them
selves at the expense of farmers and
business men, who had honestly ac-
cumulated bank accounts, and because
the cashier undertook to guard the
property entrusted to his care he was
shot down at his post of duty. If these
bank robbers were turned over to the
country editors now there would be a
hanging. Such men are harmless
when imprisoned, but when at liberty
are most. dangerous foes of society.
Their imprisonment cannot bring the
dead to life, but it will prevent any
other. such operation on their part.

NARROW ESCAPE.

Mrs. y. w. ,PiersOn and Mrs. r. Hedin Met
With an Accident Tuesday. tt5N
While put driving Tuesday afternoon
Mrs. Z. w. Pierson and Mrs. p. Hedin
and child were thrown from a buggy
and while Mrs. Pierson was quite seri-
ously bruised the other occupants of
the buggy escaped without a scratch.
They were crossing the new bridge
at slow walk when the horse broke
through the planking which was worn
thin by continuous travel, tipping the
buggy far enough to throw Mrs. Pier
son out. The horse became frightened
and when clear OF. the hole started at
brisk run across the bridge. When
near the old mill Mrs. Hedin and Child
were thrown out but the horse kept on
and collided with another team wreck
ing the buggy and clearing itself from
the wreck. She continued in
her mad race until near the
Mudgett farm where she was caught
and returned to Mr.. Pierson. Mrs.
Pierson sustained severe bruises about
the arms and hips and one Other
ankles was quite badly sprained. Mrs.
Hedin and child were deposited on the
turf and aside from the jar and fright
are none the worse for their. 5ex-
perience. The authorities shouldtsee
to IT that the bridge is put in repair
and kept il good condition. This &C.
cident was not SO serious as it might
have been and suits for damages are
unpleasant things for all concerned.

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

do so until recently, when a slight
cold brought him down to the bed
from which he never arose. Seven

AFTER THE ATTORNEYS.

Schemess Attempt - 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 a 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 we'll
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 neighboring city fell from
a 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 company,
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 COM
promise and offered the man 81 500.
But they replied nit-believing a
jury would double the amount MANY
times.
The Introductory part of the game
If such it was-sounded all right.
but when the men said they were out
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
IDENTIFY 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 yester-
day to participate in grand prize
drawing promised them by an agent
of whom they purchased lotion to
remove frsckles are no doubt wiser
today. There was no prize drawing;
neither was the agent about The
agent canvassed Rock Island and ev.

to a prize drawing as special
inducement and BY way of intro iuc-
ing the goods. The prizes. SO it was
represented, amounted to no less
than SO cents and as high as $5)O-so
at the most the lotion would cost but
a half dollar. The ladies bit nicely,
and fastened over to Davenport tc
reap the golden harvest-but that
was where they reckcned without the
host.

The fragments have been tolerably well
picked up during the last three years,
(nearly), and the craft rebuilt, so that
now the ship is in an apparently sea-
worthy condition. 1t, in fact, stood
the battle of 1894, weathcring the storm
and came ont victorious over all foes.
But there is great danger of our
confidence in the result of the approach
ing conflict of 1896. She has nothing
10 fear from democracy; for that old
craft has not won battle in nearly
forty years. II has on two occasions
drifted by wind and tide into the port
OF power while the republican ship mas
been disabled of wrecked by the incom-
petence and treachery of republican cap
tains and pilots The old scow now
rides at anchor in the harbor. Her
crew have made and are still making
themselves a stencil 10 the nostris of
gods and men. Their brazen effront-
cry, their audacious pillaging. their
utter disregard of the rights of citizens
has made them contemplate in the
eyes of all men and by-word in their
mouths. The people are now ready to
sink them once and for all when called
for duty on board scow in 1896.
What now is the danger to the re-
publican craft? 1t is presumable she
will steer clear of Scylla next time; but
just on the other side is the Charybdis of
the money question. This will swallow
her up unless her pilot and cap
tain and crew are sober, honest and
leyel-headed men. She should carry
aloft the banner of protection to Amer
lean industries and the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold as the
only honest money; America for
Americans and an American pol
icy for the American people. With
these banners and competent leadership
there will be no question but the repub-
lican ship will ride safely into power
in 1896.
