"Mac" Cheers the Bows.

Hon. William McEniry returned
last evening from Springfield. where
he was called to confer with Gov. Tan
ner with reference to the formation OF
an association to provide for the re-
lief of the Illinois soldiers in the wal
and their families. Mr.. McEnirv Wis
tied the soldier boys at Camp Tanner
while in Springfield, as it will
be seen by the correspondence
appearing elsewhere. and dis
tributed cigars among the boys and
contributed $25 to their music fund.
The result of Mr.. McEniry's literally,
in the latter respect in particular. will
be to cheer the boys perhaps when far
away from home when the sound OF
patriotic music will be more welcome
to their ears than at any other time.
Each company in the regiment is to
put up $25 for the instruments to
equip the band for the regiment.

The Great Wallace Shows.

The great Wallace shows are to be in

duction:
The Great Wallace show is strictly

performance moves with a rush that
unfolds new features at every turn.
Every artist is a star in his or her par
ticular line. In the five performances
thus far given at Central Park. over
$4,000 people have been present; last
evening it was absolutely necessary
to close the doors and refuse further
admission: as even standing room

NEITHER ONE Is GUILTY.
Verdict Of the Jury in the Robinson Divorce

Case.
The jury in the Robinson divorce
case returned verdict this morning.
finding neither husband nor wife
guilty of the charges they preferred
against one another. William H.
Robinson asked for divorce on the
grounds of infidelity. Mrs. Robinson
filed cross bill, denying the allega-
tions of her husband, and asking the
court to annul her marital relations
because Robinson ill-treated her.
The jury heard the evidence from both
sides. So the matrimonial affairs of
the couple stand the same as they
were before the trial begun.

FIGHT GROWS FIERCE,
That in the Republican Ranks
Over Congressman and
State Senator.
CARRIED IT INTO THE COUNTRY.

The Claims as to Rock Island and
the Proud Distinction That May Fal
to the Lot Of Moline In settling
the Controversy of the Present Mo.
ment.
The struggle in the republican ranks
over congressional and senatorial
nominations is branching out. The
narrow confines of the party in Rock
Island no longer contain the elements
which are vieing with each. other at
daggers' points. The war has been car.
ried into the country-and to Moline.
The Prince and McCabe men claim Ia
control the situation, as far as 1t is
concerned, for the respective offices in
Rock Island. and are now going out
looking for new worlds to conquer
in Rock Island county.
As far as the congressional nomi.
nation is concerned. the question is
still open to doubt. Searle is putting
up hard and bitter fight. He doe,
not propose to let his home city %
without a struggle. not if he has to
start the typewriter going again in
acceptance of the advantage which the
use of the columns of the Union
affords. As for Payne. who has been
cruelty turned out of the Eighteenth
street office for McCabe. he is still
grinding away. The Yuma sister may
be all shot to pieces in Rock Island
by the home senator idea, but he is
still an every day object of observa-
ton on the streets of Rock Island.
Out In the Country.
Out in the country. as said before.
the fight is raging, too. There Searle
and Payne are getting in their work.
They are stirring up the party from
one end of the county to the other
with stories of how machine rule is
precipitating ruin to the g. o. p. in
Rock Island. And if the country dis
tricts were left to decide matters to-
day, Searle and Payne would swing
things pretty much to their liking
Moline, therefore. becomes an impor.
tant factor in the settlement of the
impending dispute. Proud Mo-
line may yet have the distinction
OF being the battle ground of the cam.
paign. Moline does not relish thi.
idea very much either-as she has
candidates of her own for the count,
oilices-and is not hankering after the
opportunity to act as the arbitrator o
other peoples troubles. The fight i,
increasing in fierceness as it pro
crosses, and by the time the county
convention date comes about there
will be breaches formed that the
eventual outcome will widen rather
than close.
