TRIAL OF DR.. GILES.

IL WILL begln Next MONDAY morning
in Superior Court
The trial of Doctor Giles will begin in
the Superior Court next Monday. Al
though the prosecution is evincing un-
usual interest in this case no one here
believes it's efforts will result in con-
Viction. In fact, as the evidence ad-
duced at the preliminary hearing is
more thoroughly analyzed and dis
cussed the fewer become those who be-
lieve him guilty. His past untarnished
record in private and official life, his
long residence here and the family he
has reared make it impossible for our
people to wish him anything but yindi-
cation of the charge of having caused
the death of Mrs. Darling. We hope
and believe DR.. Giles will come out of
this trouble all right. -Sutter Creek

AMUSEM ENTS.

In securing Mahara's big minstrel
carnival at Harper's theatre for matt
nee and night, Saturday, April IS,
Manager Miller has given his patrons
a rare treat. There is no other at
traction on the road more fitted to en-
terrain properly the theatre-goers of
this place than Mahara's minstrels,
which comes here with the stamp of
approval of every city where it has
appeared. To see them once is to
want to see them again. The show
acts like a salad. 1t is crisp and
bright all the way through, continu-
ally presenting new features, some
thing that cannot be said of other
minstrel shows playing here. The
best artists in this particular line
have been picked out by Messrs. Ma
hara, who have a happy faculty of
catering to the public taste in the
right direction.

COUNTY BOARD MATTERS
Allowance for Prisoners Observation-Disclosures
Hospital Fight.

| Allowance for Prisoners Increased-Mollns
Hospital Fight.
The county board today increased
the allowance of the sheriff from 80 tc
40 cents each per day for keeping pris
oners at the county Jail.
The board rescinded the action
taken year ago assessing the g. A
r $50 per year for the use of Me-
mortal hall.
The Rock Island Union and the Mo
line Journal were awarded the con
tract for the publishing of the official
proceedings. Their bids were $1OC
and $50 respectively. Other bids
were Rock ISLAND ARGUS $3.50. the
Moline Dispatch 25 cents per inch,
Evening Mail 500.
The special committee appointed to
Investigate and fix the salaries of the
board of review reported and recon-
mended that the salary of each men,
Der be 81 per day and that the work
shall be done in accordance with the
customs followed in other counties [ I
the state.
Moline is planning to make fight
before the board for an allowance f
SIS per week for each poor patient
cared for at the city hospital of
that town. The bills presented dur
ing the last year have always called
for SIS, but have been shaved down to
$3.50, which amount is charged the
county for poor patients at St. Antho-
ny's hospital here. The board MEM
bers feel that there should be no dis
elimination in the matter of pay on
the part of the county between the
two institutions. III. j. Gripp, who
was one of the mem bers who opposed
allowing the Moline hospital MOI g
than st. Anthony's, was defeated for
reelection in Moline this spring sim
ply because of his stand on the hospi-
tai question. Several Moline physi-
clans are engineering the fight in be-
half of their city hospital. They went
so far as to demand that Supervisor
Cornelius Donovan be not con-
tinued a member of the poor
committee, of which he was chairman
q promise from Supervisor Carey that
in the event of his reelection to the
Craftsmanship of the board he see to it
that D novan be dropped from that
particular committee, assuring Carey
he would be taken care of in Moline
when the nomination for sheriff came
around again. Donovan's friends on
the bo I'd heard of this scheme, and
succeeded in convincing MIR. Carey he
would better serve the interests of
the whole county by continuing Su-
pervisor Donovan on the poor COM
mittee, which he did. Moline people,
it is understood. will ask that a spe-
cial committee be appointed from the
board to inspect the two hospitals,
their intention being to try to de-
monstrate that the care given at the
Moline hospital entities it to the IS
per week asked for.

Robert Mitchell and Anna Anderson Sue
for Divorce.
T. William Molander has brought
suit for 81. 200 damages against the
city of Moline.
Robert Mitchell, of this city, asked
that the marital tie binding him with
| Mary Mitchell be severed by the
court. They were married here Feb.
IL, 1891. The complainant declares
his wife has absented herself from his
home since 1897.
Anna Anderson, of Moline, asks to
be divorced from Edward Anderson,
because, she alleges, he is an habitual
drunkard. They were married Dec.
%, 1897. The complainant states in
her bill that she WAS aware before her
marriage that Anderson partook freely
of liquor. but upon his promise to
abstain thenceforth they were welded.
But he did not keep his promise, she
says, and since the day they were
united she has supported him. Mrs.
Anderson also asks permission to as
sumo her maiden name, Anna Pear
son.

street, this city, through his at
torney, j. X. Scott, has commenced

he was struck in the right side by a
piece of the wheel breaking a cou-
pie of ribs. He has been unable to
