ANOTHER BROKEN HOME.

Story Of Rock Island Rusbaads sensa.
tionAl Dlscovery.
Divorce proceedings are threatened
as q climax to some sensational dis
coveries made by tho husband OF one
of the city's well known ladies.
As the story goes. the wife de-
parted for Chicago . short time ago
in rather unceremonious manner.
Days went by and no word
came from the windy city to console
the devoted husband in his lone
Illness. He took to thinking over
matters and finally concluded TO take
q trip to Chicago himself. He
did not find his wife where he ex.
pected to. And this worried him all
the more and egged him on in the
search which had q rather dramatic
ending.
He began looking over the hotel
registers. It was not long before he
discovered the worst-his wife in
company with another man. A scene
followed, and an application for 8
divorce will probably be the hus
bands next move.
And it is said that the wife's trunk
wss searched and q wax mask founC
therein. So the husband has arrived
at the conclusion that the wool has
been pulled over his eyes many
times.

HIS Double.

Friends of business man are hav.
ing no little amount of fun with him
over an incident occurring the other
day. 1t seems there is a young man
in this city whom many mistake for
him. The business man was around
collecting. He presented a bill at
the counter Of an uptown establish
ment. The money was paid over
without q murmer, but he found q
shortage Of $1.80.
"Here, neighbor. haven't you made
a little mistake here?" asked the
business man rather pleasantly.
"Just what l told you that night.
l knew you would forget all about
it," and the saloonkeeper was getting
warm under the collar.
what do you mean, sir?" The
young man it SO happens never in
dulges.
II mean that you own me $1.80
You don't remember the night you
came in here and got 80 cents worth
of drinks and borrowed 81, eh
That night when you were 60 loaded
that you were trying to stand or
your head.
The young man was dumbfounded
He refused to pay any money and
walked out Of the place. Now he il

"The stories about the Burlington
road contemplating anything other
than first class passenger station
upon its property on Twentieth
street are ridiculously absurd" said
one Of the c., B. & Q. company's
representatives this morning. 81
have heard the rumors about 8
freight house and all that, but they
are idle. Do you suppose great
company like the c., B. & q. would
invest $4,000 in real estate for 8
mere freight depot? Not at all. The
Burlington road will in the very
near future erect in Rock Island Z
handsome passenger station in keep
ing with its progressive and enter
prising spirit and in keeping with
the city of Rock Island.
ut will be first class depot in ali
respects. Mark that"

The three-cornered fight in the
Tenth District is growing more in
teresting daily. Patterson, Car
mack and West are determined to
remain in the arena until the peo-
pie declare at the polls which one
shall go to congress, An unbiased
opinion on the result would certain
Iy be in Patterson's favor, because
it is admitted by Carmack's warm
est supporters that Shelby county
will 90 for the sound money man,
and that will give him such a lead,
with the votes from other counties,
that it will be difficult to catch him.
His friends even claim that he will
carry Upton county. In that event
he would almost certainly be elect
ed. The populist candidate de-
clares that he is in the race to stay,
and this Will greatly injure Car.
mack's chances, as it takes just as
many free-silver votes from him as
there are populist voters in the dis
trict. The new paper in Carmack's
interest will be started in Memphis
to-day. 1t is an afternoon paper,
with Sunday morning edition.

In the death of Mr.. William NJ.
Porter, which occurred at his home
in the 18th district on Wednesday
of last week, one of the old land
marks of this county is removed.
He was seventy-nine years old, and
was a man of unusual activity for
one of his age. Mr.. Porter was a
native of Wake County, n, c. He
moved to this county in 1928, and
has been a resident thereof ever
since. After becoming a resident
of this county, he married Miss
Rose, whose death occurred several
years ago. -Four children now sur
vive them. In 1888 a company
composed of los men was raised
for the Cherokee service, and Mr..
Porter was one of the number ell

Jesse Harris, are now living.

Mr.. NJ. w, Connolly, who has

Col. Patterson to Bolivar, when he
delivered his speech here on the 9TH
instant. In writing up an account
of the trip for the Scimitar, Mr..
Connolly has the following to say
in regard to our town: "Bolivar
is one of the oldest towns in West
Tennessee. Trails Of its former
splendor are still visible, The very
atmosphere breathes an air Of re-
finement. The old houses bespeak
it. In many places quantity bound
books are found on curious shelves,
and on the fly leaf can be read the
names of those who gave or receiv-
ed these tokens of friendship, love
and esteem. Both the giver and
receiver have long since been, gath
cred to their fathers, and the quaint
ly-bound books remain, sere memen-
toes of former loves and lives, Of
the transformers of human exist
ence. Bolivar is not progressing,
apparently. tits enjoying staid
and honorable decline. A look at
the grand old place, so full of mem
cries and associations, impresses
one almost pathetically. 1t is diff
ficult to describe. 1t is not subdued
voluptuousness; it is not the ghost
of departed wealth or the wrath of
pride; 1t is rather an air of chasten-
ed elegance, of mellowed and spirit
ualized refinement, of sublimated
grandeur, unknown to the parvenue
and nouvea richie. All houses may
be moved away and every trace of
the town obliterated, and yet the
trees and the shrubs would pro-
claim It's former glory"
