Edward Bsgslke left his home ct
Carbon Cliff bright and early
on the morning Of the 18th
of last month for business
mission across the river In Henry
county. From that day his wife nor
little ones have not heard . word
from him. The case 10 wrapped In
mystery. The county has now in
terested itself and Sheriff Hemenway
10 sending out cards bearing photo
graph aud description Of the missing
man. and offering s26 reward for
any Information concerning his
Whereabouts.
Begalke was . middle-sgsd man.
with light moustache. brown hair.
and weighing about $50 pounds. He
had lived in Carbon Clif, whore for
long time he WAS employed ct the
tile works, for upward Of twelve
years, and WAS known among his
neighbors % an honest and indus
trious man. who. through frugality.
had managed to accumulate enough
money to last fall purchase . farm.
ON which he was living with his wife
and four children ut the time Of his
disappearance. The farm he pur-
chased from william Letsch, the
consideration being $500. A ques-
ton a. to whether the farm really
contained the number of acres stipu-
lated was raised BY friends Of
Begalke. So he engaged surveyor.
who informed Begslke that his farm
was ~ acres shy.
Mrs. Begalke was very much nm.
nerved on hearing this. It 10 said, and
often upbraided her husband about
his shortsightedness. They had .
quarrel on the evening Of Feb. Is, %
it 10 said. The following morning
he started out afoot to the place Of Q
friend in Henry county, where he
said he intended buying some hogs.
He took along $50. He had $500
more in the Moline National bank,
but this he did not disturb.
DID Not Rsash the Flaee.
But Begalke did not reach the
place where he said he was going Ia
buy hogs. He cannot be traced over
100 yards from his home.
Mrs. Murphy. IN old lady, who
lives near Rock river bridge, says
she saw . man crossing the bridRe
on the morning of the 18th, but she
did not recognize him.
The theory OF suicide has now been
raised. There was large air hole
in Rock river near the bridge ct the
time of Begalks's disappeafanoe. and
some have been frank enough to say
that he jumped into it. There hal
been talk Of foul play, but the suicide
theory is more generally accepted.

COST OF SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.
The Seven Years Work Figured Out
in Dollars and Cents.
Philadelphia Record.


A noted statistician and investigator who
has lots of time for such work has been
doing some figuring on the cost of the
Temple of Solomon. and says few people
even in these days of palmy extravaganza
and millionaire display, have an adequate
impression of the enormous cost of the
great temple: According to Villalpandus,
the talents of gold, silver and brass were
equal to the enormous sum of 6,S79, S22, 900
pounds sterling. The worth of the jewels
is placed at figure equally as high.
The vessels of gold, according to jose
phus were valued at 10000 talents which,
reduced to English money, was equal to
ESQ 296, 203 The vessels of silver, ac-
cording to the same authority, were still
more valuable, being set down as worth
4646 344, 900. Priests vestments and the
robes of singers, 22,010, 600, and the
trumpets &2N0,0O0 To this add the
expense of the building material, labor,
ETC., and some wonderful figures result. Ten
thousand men hewing cedars, $4,000 bearers
of burdens, LOCO hewers of stone, $500 over
seers all of whom were employed for seven
years, and upon whom, besides their wages
Solomon bestowed Sc, 1888 $40.
If their daily food was worth so cents,
the sum total for all was $685. ST ,0SS during
the time of building. The materials in the
rough are estimated as having been worth
G2545, 1897 900 pounds. This gives a total, just
for this much of the expense, which by no
means expresses the whole cost of 9I0,7 49,
76O, PSI, or about $50, III ,034, S67.46.
