FAMILIAR WITH OUR LAWS

London, July 13-George V. L. Meyer, United States ambassador to Italy, Is staying here for few days en route to Boston. To representative of the Asso- ciated Press MT Meyer said
 Before leaving Rome I had an hours audience with the King. Not only did he express the most cordial friendship to- ward the United States, but he sur pHsed me by his intimate knowledge of our institutions. The conversation hap pened to turn to comparison of the United States constitution with those of other countries, and I soon found that the King knew almost as much about ours as I do myself He is a wonderfully intelli- gent sovereign.
 Naturally I cannot say much about the potentiality or the likelihood of the con- tinuation of the triple alliance. believe the treaty expires in 1903. and then 1t will be time enough to talk.

 '"The question of the Philippines excites keen interest in Rome.

MILWAUKEE ROAD LET'S
CONTRACT FOR CUTOFF,

What is taken to indicate the re-
moval of further doubt as to the con-
struction by the Milwaukee road OF
its proposed Kansas City cutoff was
the awarding in Chicago yesterday of
contracts for the building of road
bed between Muscatine and Ottumwa.
Iowa.
The Flick & Johnson Construction
company, OF Davenport, has the con-
tract for the first 444 miles and Nc
Iltosh Bros, of Milwaukee, for the
last 341 miles. The total cost of the
building of this line is estimated at
81 600 600, exclusive of the rails and
.tes. That is to say. the construc.
ton OF the road bed and bridges will
cost that amount and that the rails
will be laid by the Milwaukee itself
The understanding is tia the Mil
waukee is to use the tracks of the
Rock Island road from Davenport to
Muscatine. Whether the cutoff is to
take in Rock Island. or go down the
other side of the river, is q question,
so far as is known here, that remains
TO be decided yet.

event has died away Rock Island peo-
pie with characteristic enterprise are
talking about what they should do in
the way of public entertainment next

that the affair be engineered by a
citizens committee. one day to be set
aside as Woodmen day, the occasion
to be the annual celebration of the
Western Woodmen Picnic association.
and the other DAYS to be designated
as the committee sees ht for in
stance, one Rock Island day and
another tri-city day.
There would be parades every day
with an abundance of entertainment
the latter including some of the fea-
lures of last week.

by Peoria Road.
Is AN ELEGANT GOLD TIMEPIEoE
Story of Courageous Act That
Probably Saved a Number
Of Lives.

Supt. II. p. Greenough. of the Rock
Island & Peoria road, today presented
q. G. Berlew. of Lafayette. with q
handsome gold watch as a testimonial
of the comPany's appreciation of his
act on Aug. in saving a passenger
train from almost certain disaster at
bridge near that place.
The timepiece is one of the most
expensive made. with Elgin move
ment and beautifully engraved gold
case. On the back is engraved the
date of the episode and on the face
the monogram of the recipient. while
inside is fJuud: 40 &. G. Ber.ew,
in appreciation of his courageous act
which saved r., |. * z. Railway pas
seDger train from accident"
The facts connected with the incl
dent, as related in The ARGUS at the
lime are as follow: Ab,ut $3.50 in
the evening Of Aug. 3 farmers team
passing along the road about a mile
south of Lafayette WAS frightened
by bicycle and ran away, uPse'tiug
and breaking away from tie wagon.
The horses ran north to town, wnere
they reached the track, when they
took to it and ran west. As they
passed through the outskirts of the
village they overlook Mr.. and Mrs.
Berlew, who were driving along the
road. The former, re4liziug what
was likely to occur, got up IN the
track and followed the team on foot
till, about mile ont of town, he
found one of the animals about 20
feet out on an open trestle. helpless,
with its legs through the ties.
Heads ON Train
As IL was then dark, Mr.. Berlew
ran TO a neighooiiug house and pro-
cured n lantern, which he lighted,
al Il then followed the track on west
bs relv in time TO head off train No 8,
hich was 10 minutes behind time.
The trestle in which the horse was
fast was over 200 feet long and 80
feet high. Old railroad men say the
C ances would have been about one in
five that the engine pilot would have
picked up the animal and cleared the
track. Otherwise the engine and
PROBABLY the entire tram would have
been thrown from the rails an an
appalling los of life would have re-
suited.

CHURCH IN TURMOIL
Orion 5aptists Hold Meeting and
SummariIy Dismiss Pastor
G. w. White.
CHARGES PREFERRED BY HIS WIFE
Committee of Ministers Having
Refused to Sustain Accusa-
tons.

Orion is pretty much agitated over
a church scandal involving Rev.
George w. White. pastor of the Bap-
fist church ut that place. who is
charged with having planned, in the
absence of his wife. to elope with the
wife of q business man of the town.
His wife, upon her return. found an
anonymous letter purporting to be
from the woman in the case and ex-
posing the whole thing.
The charges were laid by Mrs.
White before a committee, of which
Rev. q. B. Simons. of this
city, was chairman, and after in
vestigation, Il report was made last
Saturday night in which the ministers
who looked INTO the affair refused to
act on the charges. claiming it was
purely family affair and beyond
their jurisdiction.
Congregation Divided.
The congregation has become di-
vided on the question, and the two
factions are very bitter against each
other. Yesterday Il meeting was held
at Orion by the symPathizers of Mrs
White, who claimed to represent the
entire congregation, and the resigna-
ton which the pastor had presented,
with the request that it take effect
one month after its presentation, was
rejected with only two votes in favor
of accepting it. and resolution was
adopted summarily dismissing Rev.
White. K, quests which b ID. Stew
enson and wife and Mrs. Gesrgia Bell.
who is implicated, had made to have
their mem bership transferred to the
First Baptist church of Moline, were
refused.
Another Trial Likely.
The outcome will probably b. that
the question will be again referred to
a board of ministers upon request of
the above parties for membership ia
the Moline church and the matter
sifted TO the bottom. Rev. and Mrs.
White, it is said, were married when
the former was but Il and the latter
II years of age and they have had
trouble n mum Der of times Previous to
the present occasion.
