one night last week to investigate the
case of a family that was reported to
be in need of relief. She found in the
squalid apartments man, woman and
child The woman was apparently
much older than the man whom she
said was her husband. They told the
matron their name was Cunningham.
Mrs. Cunningham complained of being
i'll. Food and fuel were sent to the
family. Jimmie Gipe, boy tramp.

Monday night. He was taken in
charge by Matron Hill. She became
interested in the lad who told pitt
full story of illtreatment on the part
of his parents. She saw in his face n

he appeared in the doorway of the

came to the Davenport police station
and furnished the last chapter of Il
story of an unfaithful wife and
separated family. He said his wife,
Anna-he had always been kind TO
her and their six children, he said
had cast him aside while he was
working in Princeton, and took up
with Cunningham, worthless fellow,
and ran away with him.
The youthful hobo. whose arrival
at the police station had made it posi-
bic for Mrs. Hill to unravel this tan
gle of marital unfaithfulness and par
entail cruelty, admitted that he had
lied about his fathers mistreatment
of him, and accompanied the latter to
his home in Rock Island.

GRIP AND ITS VICTIMS.
Many Suffering From the MaIady in
Rock Island.

Rock Island.
Almost every other one you meet
on the street is complaining of the
effects of the prevailing malady-the
grip. He has either had an attack, or
has n dizzy, chilly feeling, symptoms
that he has been told are sure indica-
tions that he is elected for a struggle.
Probably never before has the grip
found so many victims in Rock ISL
and. 1t is tormenting ailiic
ton. and unless taken in its early
stages and defeated by an applica-
ton of every remedy that your friends
and physicians recommend, it is liable
to get firm hold, and keep its victim
on the books for an indefinite period
This modern malady has been n
boomer for the drug stores and the
doctors. and both are still at work
day and night endeavoring to stay its
progress.

Maple Syrup Will Cost More.

People who like maple strip on their
buckwheat cakes are likely 10 pay a
higher price for it next winter. Dis
patches from Vermont say that the
crop is this year a total failure, owing
to plague OF caterpillars, which last
summer stripped the trees of foliage.
In 1889 Vermont produced 43 per cent
Of all the maple sugar OF the country.
The total amount produced in that
year was 32.s50.0O0 pounds, in addi-
ton to 2,260,0c0 gallons Of maple strip.
New York ranks second as sugar
producing state with 80 per cent of the
total amount to its credit New Hamp-
shire, Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Ohio follow in the order named. At
present maple sugar of this years crop
is selling at twelve cents a pound,
while tie strip brings thirty cents
