A meeting between he and his wife
was arranged at the sheriff's office,
where after a brief private talk they
determined to start life anew, he
promising to treat her differently.

Rock Isiander May Garry Away First
Money In the Billiard Tourney.
w. II. Cation is now in a fair way
to carry off first money in the short
stop billiard tournament at Chico go.
This chance comes to him in conse-
quence of the defeat yesterday of
Spinks by Tom Gallagher, the score
being 400 to 800.
Spinks' narrow escape in his match
with Mclaughlin the night before
put him under a greater strain than
usual and when Gallagher began to
forge ahead he lost control of his cue
for several successive innings. Cat
ton was the most interested specta-
tor OF the game, and WAS much
elated at the outcome. as it gives
him another opportunity to defeat
Spinks. with whom he is now tied for
first place. The deciding game be-
tween the leaders will be played next
Monday. The other position are al
ready settled-Sutton in third, Nc
Laughlin fourth. Gallagher fifth and
Maggioli and Matthews last.

GAMBLING DEN WEDDING.
| A. r. Ruch IL Converted and Comes Back
to tho Woman He WronEed.

A. r. Ruch IL Converted aud Comes Back
to tho Woman He wronGed.
A remarkably strange story comes
from Chicago. Adolph F. Ruch, who
formerly resided here, and Annie
Siman are the principals in the affair.
The wedding took place in gam
bling house at 121 Clark street.
Standing in the midst of faro lay
outs, roulette wheels and gambling
devices OF all sorts, Rev. o. E. MUIR
ray. pastor of the Paulins street
Methodist Episcopal church, pro-
nounced them man and wife and
gave q fathers name to the pretty,
golden-haired baby girl who during
the ceremony twined her little arms
lovingly around the neck of the
groom, while the mother wept tears
OF JOY.
Few witnessed the strange we'd
ding. says Chicago paper, but those
who did will never forget it. 1t was
held where it was because the groom
had said, "In a gam bling house l was
ruined. in gambling house l was
converted, and in a gambling house
| wish to make atonement for the
greatest wrong l have ever done"
Rach. who is % years old. lie a
native of Rock Island, and went to
Chicago three years ago. For Il
while he worked as bell boy at The
Brevoort house, but soon left there
and became frequenter of levee re-
sorts, where he joined hands with the
gamblers and swindlers he met there.
Two years ago he met a young girl
who had just come from Hamburg,
Germany,and she loved him, not wise
~, but too well. Shortly afterward
he left Chicago and travelled through
the east with q gang OF swindlers
who followed the county fairs, and
in winter frequented gambling
houses. Last October, after losing
all his money at roulette. young
Ruch found his way into the hall
where John P Quinn was exposing
gambling. What he saw there cured
him Of gambling. He told the story
OF his life to Quinn, who took an iu-
terest in the young man and gave
him employment. When Quinn
moved to Buffalo young Ruch pro-
fessed conversion and become pro-
batioEary member of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
When he arrived in Chicago three
weeks ago with Quinn, he at once be-
gan search for the woman he had
wronged two years ago. His search
was unsuccessful until last Thurs
day, when he happened to meet her
on State street with her babe of a
year in her arms. When Ruch told
her he had become better man and
asked her to forgive him and become
his wife, her answer was to place the
l'ttle baby in his arms. They went
to John T. Qainn, who I'M medistely
made arrangements with Rev. o. f.
Murray to perform the marriage
ceremony. The only persons pres
ent were those connected with Mr..
Qlinn's exhibition, Mrs. V. E. Prem
tice and Miss Prentice, and a few
newspaper men.

That cotton convention at Memphis
made a good departure when it rec
commended the planters to devote more
attention to corn and diversified crops
and at the same time experiment with
the culture of sugar beets. This last
will be in time one of the most prof
table industries, and the rich alluvial
lands of the southern streams will
grow the crop to perfection. The pro-
duction of our own sugar is only a
question of few more years at most
and the states in which that industry
gains first foothold are going to reap
