Henuepin Frogs.

"Hennepin canal frogs-new crop
OF 1895" is the sign that attracted at
tention in front of Robeson's market
this afternoon. There was with it a
picture Of the canal from lock 35 to
lock 81. The frogs were in large de-
mand. 1t is said that Purser f. w.
Baker. of Davenport. who has been
over here acting as nurse for G. w.
Vinton for some weeks during the
illness OF the latter, is responsible
for the sign.-Moline Dispatch.
Had the proprietor of that market

STORY.
The Husband Explains Why
He Left His Family.
WIFE THREATENS HIS LIFE.

When He demonstrates With Her Con-
corning Her Alleged Infidelity-Now He
Seeks Separation and the Custody OF the
Children-Other Court News.
The proceedings for divorce COM
menced yesterday afternoon by
Frank Shannon unfold an interesting
and extraordinary chapter in domes-
tic unhappiness which is entirely at
tributable to the wife, Alice G. Shan
non. if everything he declares is the
gospel truth. The complainant, it
will be remembered, was bound over
to the circuit court recently for
abandoning his wife and children.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shannon were
married in Rock Island June
20, 1890, and subsequently moved
to Beardstown, where Shannon
declares he discovered his wife's
infidelity after a couple of years of
connubial bliss. Here's the way
Shannon argues the justice of the
court in severing his marriage rela-
tions: lone evening about 1880 in
returning to my residence in Boards
town 1 found one John Atkins, a
painter, in company with my wife
inner sleeping apartments. Shortly
afterward detected her going to
the house of q neighbor, Mrs. j.
Whitfield, to meet, as she afterward
acknowledged. travelling man for
adulterous purposes as per agree
ment. When she returned home. be-
coming SO imprisoned over her con-
duct, l threatened her life, but sue
ceeded in controlling myself. For
the children's sake l then induced
her to return to Rock Island and live
with her parents. She continued to
go out nights to Fill engagements with
strange men for improper purposes
On three different occasions when
demonstrating with her concerning
her Iicentious conduct she threat
ened my life by poisoning and other
means. whereupon for my own pro-
lection left her."
Mr.. Shannon considers this suffi-
cient evidence to prove Mrs. Shan
nous untitness for the companion
ship of a respectable husband. They
have two children: Mary A., aged
years, and Velma c., years. The
husband also prays fer the custody
of the children, believing their
mother an unfit person to entrust
with their raising and education.
Maj. j. Nj. Beardsley represents
the complainant.
Another Husbands Complaint.
And another husband asks that he
be released from the matrimonial
| bonds. John Griffin and Miss Jane
Hunter were married in Rock Island
Dec. %, 1887, and lived happily to-
gether for four years. Then he de-
clares she deserted him for some
inexplicable cause. Griffin now re-
sides in Moline. He has engaged
w. j. Entrikin to assist him.

MONTE CARLo. March q

The Monaco regatta opened today
and the principal event. the race for
the prize offered by the Prince of
Monaco, was won by the Prince of
Wales cutter Britannia. which gave
the Ailsa her first defeat. Britannia's
victory did not create the greater en-
thusiasm among impartial yachtsmen
for the reason that 1t was gained in a
poor trial of the qualities Of the re-
spective boats and was partly due to
the Ailsa holding her opponent too
cheaply. The race was for the PriN
de Prince Albert /, open to all yachts
above twenty tons. The weather was
beautiful but the wind was light and
flukey and this of course made an ex-
citing race impossible. Considerable
doubt was expressed as to whether the
Britannia would start In race on Sun
day owing mainly to the presence of
queen Victoria at Clmez. but this
difficulty was overcome by the Prince
OF Wales not going on board his yacht.
He watched the race from the terrace
at Monte Carlo.
Rounding into the mark, the pair
y ere over-lapped, Britannia blaaketing
Allsa. This resulted in the latter hav-
ing to make short tack to get around,
and in the meantime Britannia fetched
around and reached home with a good
lead. The times at the finish OF the
second round were:
BRITANNIA 1N54O: Ailsa 147AS
Thus Britannia won easily. without
reckoning the time allowed her by
Allsa. The actual times occupied In
covering the course We're:
Britannia 2lgQl; Ailsa 2:20:8i: Val
kyrie 2A7:OO; Corsair 2:i7:lO.
Mr. Aliens ten-ratcr Dakotah won
