in the company's round house in this

The event Of the telescoping Of

been purchased from the railway
company by some parties who pro-
pose making it big thing. The col
lision will come off on an old st eet

Both engines will be fired up until
they have an abundance OF propel-

CLAIMED By THE ANGEL,
J udge and Mrs. Lucisn Adams Only
Daughter Taken.

Jadge and Mrs. Lucisn Adams Only
Daughter Taken.
Just as the day dawned today the
angel of death invaded the home of
Judge and Mrs. Lucian Adams. on
Nineteenth street, and their only
daughter, Catharine, was taken, and
the troubled sleep of pain became the
sweet repose of eternity. Catharine
had been i'll with typhoid fever since
Sept. :, aud despite the ministra-
tions of the best medical talent and
the most tender nursing she grad
ualiy failed day by day until the last
summons came. Desperately ill as
she had been, the full extent was not
realized by her parents, and Judge
Adams returned last evening from
Whitsside. where he had been pre-
siding in the county court, only in
time to witness the end.
Catharire was the eldest child and
only daughter of Judge and Mrs.
Adams. She was born in Rock Island
Is years ago March 4. LAST. She was
a child of sweet and loving charac-
ter, of many natural gifts, and a
favorite with all. In the sorrow that
comes at such time, to those who
are bereaved sympathy is but frail
nevertheless the community yearns
to offer the comforting assurance
that one human heart would give to
another.
The funeral will be held from
Trinity church at 2 O'Clock Saturday
afternoon.

STORY OF A STORM.
f. D. Kruger Appeals to the
Poormaster for Aid.
FAMILY AND HOME DESTROYED.

Himself Badly Csippled From the Effect ts
of tho Cyclone Which Struck st. Louis
n Few Months Ago Now ON His Way to
Friends.
A middle aged and poorly clad
man hObbled into police headquart-
ers this morning aud asked to be
directed to the Cffice of the poor
master. One look at the man would
surely convince one that he was
not like many who are constantly
seeking the aid of the county. No
doubt the man is deserving. The
expression on his worn and wasted
countenance suggested sadness. He
said his name was F. d. Kruger aud
that he had just arrived from St.
Louis. where he had fallen a victim
OF the cyclone which swept over that
city few months ago.
IL once had q good wife. three
sweet children and a cozy home ~
continued Kruger, as a tear began to
run from his eve. But the storm
robbed me of all. Mywife and little
ones were dashed to eternity and
everything had in the way OF per-
sonal property was scattered to the
winds. As for myself, l received in
juries which l feared 1 could not
recover from. and which will cripple
me for the rest of my days: My left
leg was broken in three places aud
was terribly broised, but the physi-
Clans finally brought me out all
right, although l am so lame yet
that can hardly walk"
Kruger said he used to live at Ack-
ley, Iowa. where he served two years
on the police force. He then moved
to st. Louis, where he lived happily
and prospered until the cruel ele-
ments robbed him OF his home, fam
lily and health. Kruger is a cabi-
net maker by trade and is en- route
to Freeport. where he formerly re.
sided, and where he has friends
whom he thinks will assist him in
securing employment.
