J. r. EDEN RESIGNS.
President of the Hospital Com
mission Steps Out.
SONS TALK OF HIS SUCCESSOR

Probability That q Chicago Man VIII be
Selected for the Honor-A New CbairmAn
win be Necessary and It May Como to
Rock Island.
Judge John r. Eden, of Sullivan,
president Of the Western Insane Hos
piial commission. has rendered his
resignation to Gov. John p. Altgeld.
Judge Eden's professional affairs
have been such in the past as to re-
quire SO much attention that he has
felt for some time that the duties of
the commission required either sac
rifice on his part or neglect of the
obligations he owed to the state if he
continued to hold the Office, but APP
preciating nevertheless the high
honor which was reposed in him he
determined to continue in the office
until the selection of the site and
other important preliminaries were
disposed of.
1t is not known as vet who Judge
Eden's successor will be. The gov
ernor rendered the place to Hon.
John T. Piatt, of Cambridge. who.
while resident of Henry county.
where he votes. is spending most OF
his time now at Galesburg while his
children are being educated. Mi.
Piatt. however. declined the office.
He is man eminently qualified for
the duties. is thoroughly posted in
public affairs and would have made a
model trustee. 1t is now believed
Gov. Altgeld will select a Chicago
man for the vacancy.
Now President Necessary.
The resignation of President Edens
involves the duty of the election Of
another executive when the vacancy
shall have been provided for. and it
is not improbable that the honor may
come to Rock Island in the choice OF
Trustee 4. j. Mediil. The hospital

age of having the president here il

The progress of the erection of the
first building is going steadily for

Edwards L. Walsh Construction com.
pany. The corner stone will be laid
early in July, when Gov. Altgeld and
other notables will be present.

Schrever said that he had not paid cent On
that account the plaintiff had not been able TO
leave the household where her husband lived She
occupied room by herself but her meals were
taken from the common table. She ate them alone
and the dog was her only companion During the
meals the OF the household amused themselves
by rid,culing her Counsel said that Mrs Schreivers
life in the house was a burden to her and she

81 a week for the five weeks which the plaintiff has
