Desperate Act of a Patient at
the Hospital. +.
PETE DETHLEFs sLAsHEs HufsE1,

A Member Of the Paid Fire Departmsnt
Suffering with Pneumonia cuts HIS
Throat and Both Wrlses-Ateachs . sis-
ter-rinely Assistance.
Peter Dethlefs, driver of the hook
and ladder truck at the Central en-
CINE house, made q desperate at
tempt to end his life at St. Anthony's
hospital at O'Clock this after
noon. Dethleps has been suffering
since Monday with pneumonia.
and yesterday it being apparent that
he was growing worse, he was taken
from his boarding house on Twenty
fourth street and Fourth avenue to
St. Anthony's hospital. He was af-
flicted with . most violent fever and
had had the most constant care,
and this afternoon the sister at
tendaEt in the ward left the room
for an instant, when he sprang across
the bed to a bureau, in the drawer of
which was q razor belonging to a
fellow patient. which he seized and
drew hastily across his throat and
then both wrists. While he was
in the act the sister returned, and
rushing to the man. who was mani
acal with delirium. pluckily seized
both arms.
Fought With the Razor.
He fought her viciously with the
razor, but she frightened her grasp
and held him firmly until assistance
was summoned. DR.. Hollowbush
was called and found the wounds
not severe. this being due to the
weakness of the patient, and to the
fact that the instrument was dull.
The cut in the throat was ragged, but
not deep, the ugliest cash being on
the left wrist. All the wounds were
quickly stitched up, and at last re:
ports, the patient was in no immediate
danger.
Dethlefs is single man residing
in the Sixth ward, where he is well
known. He has been in the fire de-
partment about q year.

AN END In VIEW.
Court House and Fourth of July
Celebration.
WHOLE COUNTY Is INTERESTED.

A Joint Occasion for Patriotic and Public
Spirited MISUNDERSTANDING to Look
Forward 70 and Prepare Sor-The Bond
sale and Outcome.
In its reference to a conversation
with Architect Gum. of the Kansas
City architectural firm of Gum &
Curtis, whose court house plans we're
adopted by the Rock Island county
board, the other day, The ARGUS
stated Mr.. Gums opinion that the
corner stone might be laid about the
first Of July. and the suggestion was
offered by The ARGUS that it would
be an excellent opportunity to cele-
brate the Fourth Of July by having
the cornerstone ceremonies on that
day.
The thought of combining these
two occasions, the anniversary of
the nations deliverance from
oppression and the county's deliver
ance from fogyism. has met with
many expressions of public approval.
and the fact seems established that
in such an event the people of the
county have something to look for
ward to and to prepare for. Rock
Island county has not had a great
big Fourth of July celebration since
the Twin-City Columbian Fourth in
'92, which. in point of people
brought here from abroad, was the
greatest the county ever knew. One
may, judging from this, imagine the
magnitude and importance and en-
thusiasm of a day in which all the
county might be so deeply inter-
ested as in the substantial beginning
Of Rock Island county's new court
house. 1t looks very much like a
good thing, and the suggestion may
safely be pushed along. Let Rock
Island county have court house
and Fourth Of July Celebration this
year.
Found Ready Sale.
A letter received by Attorneys
Connolly & Connolly this morning
from Bankers Harris & Co., of Chi
cago. the purchasers of the Rock ISL

chase any of these must send a tele-
gram to Chicago today. Who says
Rock Island county is not in good
financial credit?
The bond committee meets March
Is, to receive the money which is the

Beach & Bowers Nlinstrels.


OF Beach & Bowers minstrels,
which come to Harper's theatre Sat-
urday evening, the Shreveport, Q4a. J
Daily SAYS:
Those who failed to attend the per-
Torrance of the Beach & Bowers
minstrels last night at the Grand
missed a rare treat. There was q
good house. which was unanimous in
its praise OF the performance from
the rising to the falling of the cur
tain. Aside from the exquisite rem
dition of the vocal and instrumental
music, there are some features of the
performance which deserve especial
mention. The contortion act was
painful in its execution to those who
witnessed it, distorting his body in
such questionable shape" as to
bring q shudder to q timid audience.
The gun drill was also splendid, the
evOlutions eliciting the applause and
admiration of the entire audience.
Lew Tatum, the African stump ora
tor, did we'll, and was one of the fun
NEST characters in his line which has
appeared on the boards of the Grand.
In fact, one and all are artists, and

strel loving people wherever they

The Philosophy of Hoeing.

1t may be overdone or underdone.
There Is reason in everything, ''even
in roasting eggs" as the saying is.
So in hoclng crops. If we hoe up the
soil in large Jumps, as we are apt to
do with the very serviceable modern
prong hoes, we let the keen, dry air
into contact with the starting but en-
feebled roots, and, by their parching
an irrepaIable injury is done. Such
Jumps should be crushed down so as
to be permeable 70 air throughout, and
yet serve TO protect the roots from it's
free sweep. But, as In avoiding Scylla
we may run to wreck on Charybdis,
SO, in crushing the soil, we may make
1T too fine, in which case the first
heavy rain will run the surface to-
gether In a crust impervious to the
air, and, for want of enough of air,
essential TO active root action, growth
will be checked until the hoe on its
equivalent is used
