Crossed electric wires started a fire
in Haskin's livery, but it was soon

Some Narrow Escapes.
A crowd narrowly escaped death
from falling electric wires. The Pc

interesting one of the season.
The Davenport High school team
defeated Clinton to o.
Moline and Geneseo High schools
gained the eighth successive victory
of the season by score of % to O..
The teams were nearly equal in
weight and it was the hardest con-
test Moline has had this year.
Iowa won and Northwestern lost in
their games Saturday against Grin

met an easy foe. as Grinnell is not
considered among the fast western

hand, Minnesota is in the front rank,
yet Northwestern made q plucky
showing. Both Iowa and North west

The IrI r.. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien-
tiic causes upon which Rev. Irl Il.
Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of
storm and weather, it is n remarkable
fact that specific warnings of every
great storm, food, cold wave and
drouth have been plainly printed in
his now famous almanac for many
years. The latest startling proof of
this fact was the destruction of Gal
weston, Texas, on the very day named
by Prof. Hicks in his 1901 alma
nae, as one of disaster along
the gulf coasts. The 1901 almanac,
by far the finest. most complete
and beautiful yet published, is now
ready. This remarkable book of near
200 pages. splendidly illustrated with
charts and half-tone engravings, goes
as premium to every subscriber who
pays 81 year for Prof. Hicks Jour
nal, Word and Works. The almanac
alone is sent prepaid for only 25
cents. Order from Word and Works

GIRL KILLS HERSELF
Miss Jennie Mungerson Could
Not Bear Being Separated
From Her Father.
DRINKS POISON AT MOLINE
Lonesome and Without Ambition
She Did Not Desire to
Live Any Longer.

Despondent over separation from her
father, from whose home she claimed
to have been driven by him while he
was intoxicated three months ago,
Miss Jennie Mungerson, of Reynolds,
last night suicided at the residence OF
Prof. j. E. Gustus, in Moline, where
she was employed as domestic. After
completing her evening duties she
went to her room, where she was
found shortly afterward by Miss Ora
Miller, q boarder, lying across the
bed writhing in pain. She had taken
carbolc acid. She died within an
hour.
1t is believed Miss Mungerson made
a former attempt at self-destruction
last Thursday, when she was suddenly
taken iii and was unconscious for
some hours. Size gave no intimation
to those about the house where she
worked that she contemplated killing
herself, although it had been noticed
during the past week that she was
gloomy and did not perform her
household duties with the spirit that
she formerly did.
Leaves Two Letters.
She left two letters addressed TO her
sister, Miss Mary AuDgerson, i'll which
she tells of her lonesomeness since
leaving home, and importunes Mary
to remain with her father, even
though his actions be not always as
they should.
Miss Mungersons aside from work
ing at the Gustus home, was taking
lessons in typewriting from Mrs.
Gustus. She tells her sister that she
tried to make her way in the world,
but could not bear remaining away
from home. One of the letters con-
cludes: BE kind to him (father) and
stay with him as long as you can. I'd
give anything if l had not come to
Moline. l have lost all ambition and
do not care to live any longer"

BONES AND KNIVES
DUG UP SOUTKCF TOWN.

L. B. Strayer, of South Rock Is
land, while digging holes in which to
set fruit trees, today unearthed pieces
Of what appear to be human bones
and the remains of two knives ~They
were buried at depth Of about three
feet.
One of the knives has a bone ham
die and is moderately well preserved,
but the handle Of the other has rotted
away.
The place where the find was made
was formerly timber land, and if the
bones are human, they are possibly
those of some member OF the tribe of
