Bret Harte's new story and Jerome
K. Jerome's latest piece of fiction have
both been secured by The Ladies'
Home Journal for immediate publica-
ton. Jerome's story is called "Reg-
inald Blake, Financier and Cad,"
and sketches an incident in fashiona-
BILE London society. Bret Harte calls
his story "The Indescretion of Els
beth," and pictures the romance of a
young American who falls in love with
a German princess, masquerading as a
dairy maid.

HE MURDER MYSTERY.

iGround for Suspicion.
The unidentified cap found near
the old distlllery near Milan Sat-
urday and which at first gave rise
to the impression that the cap of the
murdered Fred Kuschmann had been
discovered, has furnished fresh
ground for suspicion on the part Of
the authorities. One theory is that
the cap was placed where it was
found by some one familiar with the
crime for the purpose of complicating
the circum stances which are being
traced with strengthening proof each
day. Another view, and perhaps the
most likely. is that the cap discovery
was merely the work of q funny per-
son or persons bent on seeing how
much excitement could be stirred up,
when the public was breathlessiy
awaiting the development of some
thing on this particular point. Be
that as it may, it was, as stated in
The ARGUS Of yesterday, not Kusch-
mann's cap.
Not in the Water.
The fact that the cap was never in
AxAAAA SkO0A SSCAo W VIC uOW COuClu-
sively established, as it bore no de.
cided evidence of having been ex-
posed to water for any great length
OF time at least. Furthermore the
material was such that it would not
have fioated very far. and the off,
cials about the sheriff's Office are of
the opinion that it had not been
thoroughly drenched at all. II the
cap was put out where it was found
for a joke the perpetrator may find
his hands full before he gets through
| with it.
As to the general status of the
case it is unchanged. and as has
been SEATED for several DAYS, start
ling developments are likely at any
time. and an arrest would not occa-
sion great deal of surprise among
those who are keeping tab on the
movements of the officers.

and presented to the dying chieftian,
who remarked: Il now wish l could

exposure the day he received this
commission. His last words were
characteristic of the soldier: Send
for the brigade commanders! Put
guards on all those roads and keep
those men from going to the rear!'
His remains were inferred at West

scribed his name. Rock Island wae

clustered memories of his boyhood

House Ceremonies Expense.
Bills aggregating e47.94 for Incl.
dentals in connection with the cere.
mony of laying the corner stone Of
the new Rock Island county court
house last fall we're paid TODAY by
the Rock Island committee, to whose
efforts was due the success of the
court house project at the last gen.
eral election in Rock Island county.
The boord OF supervisors when It
gave the Old Settlers Society the
honor of conducting the corner stone
exercises made no provision for the
expense attending the same, but
later allowed 500 for such purpose.
1t was impossible to accomplish all
that had to be done within that
amount. and the bill paid TODAY out
Of funds collected BY private sub.
scriPtion had been repeatedly repu-
dated BY the board. although it had
been contracted by the committee
in charge Of the arrangements for the
day.
1t is . pleasant commentary on
the board Of supervisors, many Of the
members Of which have constituted
themselves absolute masters of all
the new court house matters, that
people in Rock Island must be
obliged to pay the Just bills con-

In Joseny's Glass.

While Joseffy was in retirement he was
not having a half bad time. He has been
a teacher In conservatory Of music at a
tremendous salary and receiving the hon.
age Of devoted band Of young women.
OF this homage Joseffy Is as apparently
disdainful as when the public bowed at
his shrine satisfied with an ungracious
nod. To belong to Joseffy's GLASS is a
badge of honor. Tho class rarely numb ers
over 25. A pupil OF undoubted talent, who
has studied everywhere else, may succeed
in entering 1t free. Everybody else pays
high for the privilege. To music teachers
who spend hours day over awkward I'm
gers Joseffy has royal road. A lesson in
his class is once q week and five hours
long. A pupil Is given one or more pieces
to study. In these, after a week, she is ex-
pected to be letter perfect Each pupil in
turn takes her place at the piano. The
others listen. Joseffy, with his usual in
difference Of manner, listens, then COM
mends, suggests or contemptuously dis
misses. "Dsn't play that any more" 1t
Is promising pupil that gets the reason
why. This summary manner is moro TAX
ing than any amount of consideration,
and the browbeaten work harder than
ever.-New York Journal

CHEATING THE BANK.
How One Bowery Sharp Raised His De-
post Slip SO.


How One Bowery Sharp Raised His De-
post Slip SO.
"One Hundred Ways to Get Rich" is
the tito of Il book published some years
ago by man whose weekly wages were
and still are SIS. There Is Bowery saw
ings bank whose officials can give the au-
thor of the book 100 other pointers on the
subject and have many left. The Gus
toners of this bank are chiefly proprietors
of small shops. Hardly II day passes that
some one of them does not attempt to get
the better of the bank.
A we'll known east side halter made his
usual triweekly deposit. He had about
$500 in bills, coins and checks. The list
of items was so long that he utilized two
deposit slips. The receiving teller checked
off the items with the money and checks
and found them correct. He added tho
deposit slips and entered the amount in
the depositor's book.
An hour later the depositor entered and
asked the cashier to certify check. 1t
was done, although the check was for an
unusually large amount. After the de-
positor had left the bank the cashier grew
suspicious. The check was for the exact
amount of the depositor's account. Tho
paying teller then re-examined the deposit
slips and saw something that had escaped
his notice before. The willy merchant was
$40 ahead.
In making out the deposit slips tho man
had entered all the items correctly, but in
carrying over the total Of the first slip to
the second he had deliberately raised the
amount $40. AS the items were correct
and the total at the bottom Of each slip
footed up correctly the teller had been
caught, and that is why his salary next
pay day was $40 short.-New York Press.

READING THE HAIR.


Physiognomists read the hair as follows:
Smooth, softly waving, fine hair ipdi-
ontes gentleness, quietness, nentness. We
can each recall the woman with tho wavy
hair parted In the middle, the gentle
Christian woman and immaculate house,
keeper.
Curly hair denotes vivacity, yielding
nature, immense love of appreciation, and
frequently 1T Is the possession of mon and
woman OF great literary and musical gifts
Close, thick, rather COARSE straight
black hair is said to be found on persons
with more order and industry than mental
ability.
Flat and sleek looking hair Is held to
indicate mental weakness. Alas for the
men Of fashion.
Straight, fair hair, according to the type
Of the head it is found upon, is accepted,
II upon an intellectual head, as indicating
gentle, amiable and refined disposition
The same hair upon an Ill formed, stupid
head indicates dull, phlegmatio tempera-
ment. Take, for examples, the high bred
fair haired English woman and the flaxen
haired, stupid German or Swedish peasant
A marked difference in color between
the hair and eyebrows denotes untrust-
worthlness.
Red hair of the real brick red is held to
mean cruelty and perfdy; on the other
hand, the brownish red hair, particularly
If curly. accompanies gentle, loving and
very trusting disposition.
That the condition of the hair is affected
by the emotions has long been conceded. In
sane people give evidences of acute mania
by the rough and bristling condition of the
hair. Where the hair of lunatic is con-
tinuously rough and bristling to an ex-
treme 1t is said he rarely RECEIVERS; on the
other hand, when the hair of patient
grows soft and smooth, 1t is regarded as %
sure indication Of mental improvement.
An abundance of strong, crisp, black or
brown hair is accepted as denoting strong
vitality and passion; If light, fine and
abundant, self control.
That the character of the face may be
changed by wigs Of various styles is I'M
derstood by professionals. Refinement will
always call for silky, fine hair; beauty and
loneliness for waviness or curls; stupidity
for shock of coarse, rough brown or
black, and savage ferocity for straight,
wiry, black head covering; hence the clas-
siflontion OF stage wigs as legal, virtuous
peasant, lover, villain. doctor, etc.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.
