PRIN cE AND TANNER
HAVE UNDERSTANDING.

Although some of the Springfield
dispatches state that Congressman
Prince, since his return after Sunday
visit at his home in Galesburg, has
evinced an apparent indifference con-
corning the outcome of the senatorial
contest, nevertheless there is belief
that he continues in the race in the
interest of Tanner. The Chicago Rec
ord correspondent saws:
There seems to be perfect under
standing between Tanner, Hit, Can
non and Prince to cooperate to pre-
vent nomination on the first ballot
1t is agreed that if Cullom does not
win on the first ballot he cannot
get the nomination, and that then
the candidates who are in partnership
now would scramble for the Cullom
votes.
members of the legislature who
came in today reported that pressures
of all kinds-political social church,
fraternal and commercial = were
brought to bear upon them as soon as
they reached their homes last Friday
to induce them to switch from the
candidates they are supporting. The
anti -Cullom managers, said the legis-
lators, worked on them through vari-
Gus channels to commit them to the
secret ballot proposition, and the Cal-
lom managers bonn barded them with
appeals, arguments and requests to
stand fast for Cullom and an open bal

Young woman rake. Laudanum.

A dose of laudanum-whether t6ken
to alleviate pain or with suicidal in
tent is not known-nearly ended the
life of beautiful and wealthy young
woman in a Davenport hotel the other
night. Employees of the house discov-
cred her condition and the quick sum-
moning of physicians saved her. The
story is that the woman, who is
% years of age, secured divorce
from her husband, the propriet-r of
a large Omaha hotel. and came to
Davenport to make her home tenn
porarily with a relative. She did
not get along well with her Davenport
relative and left the house. taking
quarters at hotel. After her recov-
cry from the effects of the drug she
received a letter from her father in
Council Bluffs. bidding her to return
to his home. She accepted the invi-
tation, which apparently lifted a
heavy load off her heart. 1t is said
before leaving Davenport she engaged
the services of an attorney and that a
suit of perhaps sensational character
may follow.

HASS SEEKS DAMAGES
Begins Two Suits Aggregating
$50, 1000 Against Rock ls-
land & Peoria Road.
FOR TREsPAss AND FJEcTMBNT
Trial of the Case of Joseph Cru
dup VS.. the Schreiner
Estate.

PIacipes for two suits were filed in
the circuit clerks Office yesterday, in
both of which Fred Hass appears as
plaintiff and the Rock Island q Peoria
Railway company as defendant. One
is suit for trespass, in which $780,
600 damages is asked, and the other
for eiectmeat, involving damages
placed at $40 coo. The action is
sought on account of the alleged en-
.croachment of the defendant upon
the rights of the plaintiff as holder of
property on First avenue.
This is the ficst suit for damages
brought against railroad company
Involving the extent of the rights of
First avenue property holders west of
Seventeenth street or within the linn
its of the old town of Rock Island.
The decision of the supreme court in
sustaining the injunction prohibiting
the railroad companies from con-
structing or repairing tracks along
the river front in this part of town
defines the nature of the titles origin
ally granted 10 those purchasing
property fronting on First avenue in
such manner as To give the plaintiff
reason for the belief That an award of
Idamsges in the circuit court will be
sustained by the higher tribunal. If
this is true the right of way may
prove exceedingly costly for the rail-
road companies.
