LEASES THE LAND.
Young Mems Christian Asso-
clan Locates Its Park.
HovEMEHr SEEMS TO BE A GO

Several Acres Of the Hop Field Grounds
Are Selected and Now the Boys Ask
That the Public EncouraEe the Enter
prise.
Several acres of that beautiful spot
which lies just south of the city linn
its and which is known as the hop
fields have been leased by the Young
Mems Christian association on which
to locate its proposed athletic park.
which has been heretofore described
in The ARGUS.
1t is for the public to say whether
this enterprising movement on the
part of the association is to be sue
cessful. Financial assistance is
necessary. 1t will require about
81, 800 to put the ground in shape
for the purposes it is intended for.
The association directors have con-
ceived novel scheme by which to
enlist the aid of citizens. Certifi-
Gates representing a $40 interest in
the enterprise will be issued. The
money can be given as a contribu-
ton, or if the certificate holder so
desires he will come in for the interest
on his investment when q dividend
is declared. Members of the asso-
citation begun going among the peo-
pie today and are meeting with rea-
sonable encouragement; yet there is
much to be raised before the erection
Of the park is insured.
Important Event.
Matters are not entirely set
tied, although the association
has the assurance of parties
interested that five year lease
can be secured on the hop fields.
Were this the case and a sufficien.
amount of money subscribed Rock
Island would have one of the finest
outing parks around and one that
would make it the scene of some i'm.
portant events during the summer
months. Already the association
has an offer for the meet of the League
of American Wheelmen, which
was to have come off at Davenport
but which contract was transferred
to Rock Island on account of thu
Davenport people being unable to Sc.
cure grounds on the day set for the
event-July 2. This occasion alone
would attract many people from the
surrounding towns. Then severa
local meets are contemplated.
The proposed track will enclose {
one-.hird mile bicycle track, bas'
ball diamond. tennis court. etc. TIT
intention is also to arrange base bal
games with the associations of nearb,
towns and make the park an inter
esting place for everyone.
The public should help the boy

BRIDE OF ONLY A DAY.
Amelia Welcher's Hasty Marriage Ends
In Divorce.

In a Divorce.
No extended honeymoon followed
Amelia Welcher's marriage to Jeffie
WeicheI, which was celebrated in
Moline one day in August five years
ago, according to the story which
accompanied her application for di-
vorce submitted to Judge Bigelow in
the circuit court yesterday afternoon.
The same day on which the ceremony
was performed she claims to have
been deserted. And since she has
been unable to locate her husband,
Mrs. Welcher is now struggling in
Chicago for the support Of their
5-year-old son, Wesley, the custody
of whom the court gave her with a
decree for divorce.
Ophelia Thomas is spry little
colored lady who has not found mar
ried life what it is cracked up to be.
She is at present engaged as do
nestle with a Rock Island family.
Ophelia told Judge Bigelow that she
was married in January of 1898, at
Lincoln. Neb., to Marion Thomas.
They shortly moved to Chicago.
where she declared he gave her the
shake without any cause whatever.
She has not seen him since. The
court granted the divorce.
Judge Glenn is also here today
and is holding court on the lower
floor of the court house. He is hear
ing more arguments in the Rock
leland National bank VS.. the Keator
Lumber omPany foreclosure case,
which has been before him for some
time. The Rock Island National
bank has a mortgage on the Keator
property for $4,000. Thompson &
Root, northern creditors, recently Sc
cured a judgment against the prop
erty for SIS. 1000. Now there seems
to be question as to which claim
has priority. This Judge Glenn has
been called upon to decide. Swee-
ney & Walker represent the Rock
Island National bank, and j. S. Mil
Ter. OF Chicago, and NJ. ONeil, OF
Neillsville. appear for Thompson &

children. the Youngest of whom
some of the neighbors in that
locality have christened 1.-THE Sum-
shine Of Cracker Alley" She is a
bright-eyed little one of about II
summers aud is noticeably cunning.
It will be remembered that the lit
tie one figured prominently in a
shop lifting deal in Davenport sew
eral months ago, but was finally re-
leased on account of her tender
years. Subsequently she stole arti-
cles from McIntyre-Reck company's
dry goods store. The stolen prop
erty was recovered in the home in
Cracker alley.
But these experiences have had
little influence in teaching the girl
to leave what is not hers alone. Yes
terday Mrs. Gale was called to de-
liver two pair Of oxfords stolen by
her daughter from the houses OF
Wright q Barber and George Schnei-
der on Second avenue. One circum-
stance which lifts much Of the re-
sponsibility from the child is the fact
that her mother is always along
| when these thefts are committed.
When the child and her mother were
called into Wright & BARRIERS store
yesterday and confronted by Chief
Etzel Mrs. Gale readily agreed to
settle for the stolen property. While
this arrangement was being made a
clerk from Schneider's store came in
and recognized a pair of oxfords be.

self in a Predicament.
ALL ON ACCOUNT OF A NOTE.

Written to Brighton Some Ono Else He
Puts 1t In His wallet Which He Loses.
and Then lie n Accused Of Committing
. Desperate Act.
Last Tuesday afternoon Leon
Mitchell, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Phil
Mitchell, on returning from school
found on the corner of Seventh ave-
nue. and Nineteenth street. q leather
wallet, which he took to his home.
Examination OF the contents dis.
closed simply a number of blank
forms, such as would naturally be
the property Of an insurance agent.
There seemed to be nothing of par
ticular value or significance in the
book until q second examination re-
vealed an exceedingly ominous
note. 1t was without address or sig
nature, and read as follows:
II have resolved to end nv exist
ence and l hope you will be glad of
it. Goodbye dear - never to see
my face again. only in death.
II love you just the same"
The Iuvestig alton.
The mysterious parcel was turned
over by Mr.. Mitchell to The ARGUS
this morning. and upon investigation
it was found that the wallet was the
property OF l.. P. Teegerstrom, local
manager Of the Singer Sewing Ma
chine company. Inquiry at the COM
pany's place OF business on Second
avenue disclosed the fact that Mr..
Teegerstrom had been around as
usual this morning. and that a few
days ago he had lost a pocketbook
answe' ing the description of the
one found. A comparison of the
handwriting on the note and that OF
Mr.. Teegorstrom found something of
a resem blance, but the name in the
note, which is omitted, was that of a
man, 8 an ARGUS representative wen,
to MIR. Teegerstrom's home on L ven
tieth street between Second and
Third avenues for further informa-
ton. Mr.. Tcegerstrom responded to
the rap at the door. When a liked if
he had lost a pocke.book he an
swered afiirmatively. When requested
for an explanation of the note he
could not understand what was
meant at first. Then he laughed
heartily.

"Well l will tell you how that al
came about" he.said. That note has
been in there some time. In fact
