was first Renear ahead and then Kimo-
keo. Toward the finish it was evident
that Renear's rotary stroke was not hav-
ing the effect that the leaping stroke of
the native was. and, although the finish
was a very close one, Kimokeo won in
very pretty style. There was a claim of
foul on the part of Renear's friends, but
this did not hold.
The fact that Kimokeo won over Re
near is quite a feather in the formers

in Chicago that the latter has been beat

slightly built than Renear, but is simply
a bunch of muscles, the ones of his
arms and legs being particularly well

Late yesterday afternoon a tele-
gram was received by William Jack
son, associate counsel for the Mod
ern Woodmen of America, signed BY
Head Clerk c. w. Halves, stating
that the board of directors desired
his presence in Fulton if Head At
torney johnson had not been here.
MIR. Jackson had rot seen nor hear d
from MIR. johnson since the appellate
court victory had been won, and he
went Immediately to Fulton. II.
found the board in session, with the
injunction proceedings under dis
cussion. The point OF con sidera.ion
was simply as TO whether or not the
Fulton people had prayed for an ap-
peal to the supreme court from the
ruling of the appellate court. All
the dlrectors-aud there are several
lawyers among them-agreed that
the appel ate court decision prscti-
cally dissolved the Injunction, and
if there was no appeal asked, the
offi;e mi ght with perfect propriety
be moved in the interim. Mr.. Jack
son acquiesced in this opinion. and
after due elaboration 1t was de-
termined to, as precaution, ascer-
tain from Ottawa il an appeal had
been asked for, and il not to
bring. the office to Rock Island at
once. The consequence was that Mr..
jackson came back to Rock Isl.
and last night to send the Rock Isl
and expedition to Fulton to assist in
bringing the Office effects here. At
Cordova he sent q dispatch to his
partner, Hon. E. w. Hurst, inform
ing him OF the purpose or the direc-
tors, and he hastily communicated
with Ottawa and found that there
had been no appeal perfected
there. and when MIR. jackson

The blue of her eyes is fading to gray,
And the gold Of her hair is silver to-day;
But the soul is the same that was orbed
In the blue,
And silvern is golden when love lights

The happiness born of a lovers caress,
For the heart of woman is tender az

Allgemeine Deutsche LehreHeitung,
relates an episode of Kaiser Wilhelm's
visit to Wiesbaden. When he was rid
ing along the Taunus-strasse at the
head of his suite on Monday small
boy ran after him and cried out, as he
frantically waved his cap, Herr Kali
ser! Herr Kaiser! get us a holiday to-
morrow The emperor laughed, and,
with a friendly wink to the lad, called
out, 1--WE shall manage It." Accord
ingly on the next day all the lads and
lasses of the town were Informed that
the day was "schulfrei," and wherever
the kaiser appeared he was naturally
greeted as a llberator with the fun
power Of youthful lungs.
