team driven by a farmer named Mari
nus Jorgensen, of Blue Grass, Iowa,
and hitched to load of potatoes, be-
came frightened by the smoke from an
engine beneath while coming south on
the viaduct. Getting entirely beyond
the drivers control, the horses crossed
to the left track upon which DR.. E. M.
Sala, in his stanhope, was driving
north. The doctor was not slow to
take in the situation. He could not
turn out on account of another load of
potatoes at his left, so he jumped out
and ran, with two others, to stop the
oncoming team. But the latter would
not stop and they struck the doctors
horse, Knocked it down across the
track and ran over it. The body of
the PROSTATE animal stopped the
heavy load when the front wheels
struck it, and the runaways could 60
no further.
When the team was unhitched and
the wagon backed away, the doctors

and was able to go home. It's nju-
ries are severe and consist of cuts and
bruises from the shoes of the team.
The buggy was almost demolished and

ELECTION AFTERMATH.

Now that President Mckinley is not to
be disturbed for four years more, there
is much conjecture as to the DISPOSE
ton of the Rock Island postoffice.
While the most conservative repub-
licans,' no matter what their personal
feelings in the matter, cannot see how
Congressman Prince can do otherwise
than demand the retention of his great
and good friend, Postmaster Thomas.
nevertheless there is rumor of a
possibility of the Office going to an
other. The story is that the president
is to be asked to favor a relative, as
he did in the instance of the Moline
postofIice, over which George Nc
Kinley, cousin to the president, is
now presiding. Milt Mckinley. brother
to the Moline postmaster and accord
ingly cousin of the president, changed
his residence some months ago from
Moline to Rock Island. The plan is,
so the story goes. to hand the Moline
postof1ice plum to W. F. Eastman,
who was sidetracked in 1896. and APP
point Milt, the other cousin, post
master in Rock Island.
True to his agreement, Tommy
Stroehle pushed that peanut up TWEEN
tieth street hill last night. The per-
Torrance, which proved a difficult
one, was witnessed by large crowd
of people. There was considerable
webbing at the starting point, the
zephyrs that were waited down the
pike giving the peanut the chills, but
when Tommy had gained his compo-
sure after the demonstration that fol-
lowed his appearance at the post-he
was given a sendofT that would have
swelled Tod Sloan's sky piece-he
sent the little object along smoothly,
handling the tOothpick, with which
the peanut was guided, as steadily and
deity as the master artist moves his
brush along the canvas. Tommy
was escorted to the scene of his tri-
umph by q delegation of repu blican
fam beaux, Louis Rosenfield furnish
ing the music, which consisted of a
bass drum and all the vocal accompa-
niment that the crowd could be in
duced to give vent TO. The peanut
was lowered to the pavement at Tenth
avenue. Deputy County Clerk John
ny AAlHSh, WIN Hdu DtI Win OLTO6lle
on the presidential election, was an
interested spectator. When Stroehle
had gotten his burden few blocks up
the hill, Johnuy's magnanimous spirit
asserted itself, and he consented to
Tommy's withdrawal from the task,
the latter having satisfied him that he
was willing to make good his wager.
Tommy demurCed-he wanted to 90
clear through the piece. But the
further he got along, the harder be-
came the undertaking, and when he
reached Sixteenth avenue he needed |
Johnny's admonition to quit.
No line of march has been announc-
