From the lola REG
lister of June 4, 1897:
Without q hint of de-
probation of any of the
lovely girls whom lola
has reluctantly yielded
to suitors whose homes
were elsewhere, and
who will always be
cordially remembered,
it is safe 10 say that
none has been given
up with such gen.
eral regret, such
real sorrow, as Nellie
Smeltzer, and none has
LETT a vacancy in the
social life of the town
that ii will be so i'm
possible to fill. 1t is
doubtful if there was
ever anyone in lola,
man or woman, so uni
versally popular, who
won without any ap-
parent effort so much
affection and admira-
ton. And it has all
come because, with all
the graces and accom-
plishments of young
wOmanhoOd she has
retained the simplicity
and sincerity. tn e
cheeriness and sweet
ness and kindliness of
childhood. There new
err was a blither spirit
or a SUMMER heart.
There never was a dis
position less capable of
cherishing envy or
jealousy or malice of
any sort. Admired and
petted and praised as
she has been. she has
remained without a
trace of affecta ion or a
shade OF self-conscious- !
ness. Having lived !
here nearly all her life !
her range of acquaint- !
ance is very large, but |
she has the gift, pos
sessed by but few wO-
men and by no men, of |
greeting each one in |
a way as TO make
him feel that he is a
7 articular friend. For
many years she has
been the leading So
prano in the Presbyte-
rian church choir, but
her fine sweet voice,
her most conspicuous
talent, has been freely
at the disposal of every
good cause and has
been a welcome part Of
nearly every musical
The voice
will be missed. 1t will
be discOuraging for a

getting up a program

will be missed the most

which has won and

WHO SHALL VOTE AT REPUBLICAN
PRIMARIES?

WHO SHALL VOTE AT REPUBLICAN
PRIMARIES?
There seems to be doubt in the
minds of some Republicans, and some
difference of opinion among them as
to the qualification of voters at the
approaching Republican primary.
1t seems to US there should be no
doubt or difference over this matter.
1t seems to US that the only question
necessary to ask any man who offers
to vote at a Republican primary is
this: "You understand, do you, that
this is Republican primary, and
that no one is expected to take part
in it except those who believe in Re-
publican principles and who expect
to support the ticket that is nomi-
mated ?" And if he answers yes to
that question, his vote ought to be ac-
cepted. How he voted last year or
any year should not be inquired into,
The question should be, Chow will
he vote this year ?" Conditions are
changing rapidly these years, and
men are justified in changing with
them. Men who honestly thought
last year that the country would be
ruined if Bryan was not elected, are
certainly justified by this time in
changing that opinion, and they
should be given chance to express
that change by coming into a Repub-
lican primary. Men who honestly
thought last year that the election of
the POpulist State ticket would in
sure wise legislation and honest ad-
ministration are certainly justified by
this time in changing that opinion,
and they also should be given a |
chance to express that change by
coming into a Republican primary
And the men especially who have
voted the Third Party Pro-
hibitiOn ticket, now that a Populist
law has made it impossible for them
to put a ticket of their own in the
field, should come back to the party
to which they naturally belong.
To sum it all up, it seems to US that
those who are in charge of the polling
places at the approaching primaries,
should do all they can to make it easy
Tor recruits to come into the Republic
IAN party. We are arguing all the
lime to convince men that they should
De Republicans. What folly it would i
be then, if any have been convinced, !
20 drive them away by ridiculing i
heir conversion or questioning its
1t is not to any mans dis
credit to change his political views,
provided he does it honestly. 1t is to
lis credit, rather, for it proves that :

and judgment and not by
Drejudice. Therefore when a man

Mrs. Behrens. who is under arrest
at Davenport on q charge of poison

OLD SOL IN THE SHADOW
1Ais NoFnlne's Partial Eclipse Of the

TAis Hornins's Partial Eclipse Of the
san.
The promised partial eclipse Of the
sun occurred this morning. being
visible in Rock Island from 7:SO until
9 o'clock, and many people were out
viewing the unusual spectacle with
smoked glass. The circumscribed
shadow of the moon was discernible
close beside the sun. The solar
phenomena was visible in all parts
Of the United States, and the fact
that the moon appeared so much
smaller than the sun is attributed BY
astronomers to the lack of totality
In the eclipse viewed from the earth.
No more than one-fifth of the sun
was obscured to this part of the
country. Prof. Mansill was not in
his observatory on Third avenue
when an ARGUS representative called
there during the eclipse this morn
ing. and it was reported that he was
out of town.
Away back in 1869 The last total
eclipe Of the sun which was visible
in illinois took place. Since then,
however, there have been sever al
total eclipses which were visible
from other parts of the United
States. The most notable of the q
was the eclipse of 1878. 1t was OBJ
served from the neighborhood OF
Denver and was fruitful of scientific
results. Far more frequent are par.
tial eclipses. the area which these
cover being very wide. A total
eclipse is rare occurrence, and it il
not often that the shadows from two
OF them are received by the same
| locality in q hundred wears.
