The court house building commit
tee yesterday afternoon concluded to
employ both shades of Bedford stone
in the new building, blue to be used
as high as the water table, from
which point. or as it may be said. in
the bulk of the building. buff is to
be the material. The buff was put
down to Rock Island county at q
higher price than the blue, but the
Bedford company finally agreed to
make it the same as the blue. The
opinion has always been that blue
was really the more expensive and
rival stone quarry interests so main
tain.
Tearing Down the Porch.
The contract was let to Milton
Remley for $25 and the material to
remove the porch and columns 1.-THE
north end of the old building, and Mr..
Remley commenced the work this
morning. after q photograph had
been taken of the structure. Tenn
porary stairways on each side of the
building leading to the court room
through windows will answer until
the new building is completed. The
removal Of the porch and supports
will afford abundant room to build
the new structure without cramping.
The committee adjourned last
evening until Thursday when the
contract will be let, unless the agita-
ton in favor OF red stone, which is
still going on, should assume such
shape that the board might be called
together again to make the change
on the strength of a subscription
making up the difference. For this
a paper was in circulation yesterday
but the case seems to be practically
hopeless at this late day, notwith'
standing that some of the supervis.
ors were extremely restless yester.
day about the closing up of the con.
tract for Bedford as speedily as pos
sible.

Mrs. Capt. T. j. Robinson was
found dead in her bed at the family
residence on Twentieth street about
6 o'clock this morning by members
of the household who went to her
room to pay the usual morning
greeting. Mrs. Robinson had for
several years been . constant
sufferer with what physicians
differed in their opinions Of
some calling 1t stomach troubles and
others heart disease. Her life bad
been frequently dcspaired Of, but
almost constant medical attendance
seemed to banieh the dangerous
spells which she had been sub.
ject to, and her demise will
occasion . severe shock on account
of its unexpectedness.
PeaeefnlIy Passed Away.
Mrs. Robinson passed away peace
fully. The nurse visited her about
midnight and found her slumbering,
without any apparent change in her
symptoms. The next call was made
about 6 o'clock this morning by
members of the family, who were
shocked to discover that death had
invaded the home without their
knowledge. Although. as stated be-
fore, Mrs. Robinson had been q suf-
ferer for years, during the past sew
eral months. if anything, she had
improved. More recently she was
particularly cheerful, and last night
telephoned the families of Z. ID.
Sweeney and j. I. Noftsker to spend
the evening with her. They re-
sponded and it proved happy occa-
sion to all. In bidding the visitors
adieu, she evincsd exceptional light
heartedness, which furnished hope
rather than anticipation of what was
SO soon TO come to her friends and
family, and retired to her everlasting
sleep.
