MRS. REHR JEALOUS

"If all the Davenport women who
consult fortune tellers or who are
jealous of their husbands were to bs
declared insane, we should have to
build lot more insane asylums,"
declared mem Der OF the Scott county
board of county commissioners after
hearing the testimony offered in sup
port of the contention that Mrs.
Henry Behr is not in her right mind

living in northwest Davenport. Her
husband says that she consulted a

miserable. But the commissioners
decided that there was no evidence
that Mrs. Behr was insane. and dis
charged her.

ONLY FAIR TREATMENT
ASKED OF CAR COMPANY

General Manager LaTdner, of the
ri.City Railway company, states
that there is no intention on the part
of the company to dump it's unde-
sirable rolling stock on the lines on
this side of the river The incident
of the Fourth and the succeeding day
was purely au oversight. he says, and
due to unavoidable circumstances
that developed at the last minute.
1t is due Mr.. Lsrdner to say that in
the multiplicity of his duties there is
much that he must naturally trust to
his ubordinates, and the trouble
chat has occasioned complaint here is
entirely with the equipment depart
ment, which, whether through in
competency or pre- judice. has been
repeatedly unfair to the line,
on this side of the river
In fact, this part of the
service has never been as satisfactory,
as far as the lines here are concerned,
as it was when c. K. Fredericks was
at it's head. Under has management.
each side of the river had it's own
separate equipment, and while it was
interchangeable, and there was more
or less switching about of extras on
ths big days the regular service was
never disturbed. Since MIR. Freder-
icks left the position all system has
disappeared. The cars are all thrown
in together and assigned from the
Davenport side just as the notion
may strike the man in charge. The
consequence has been the dis
position to give Davenport the
cream. And even the cars built es-
pecially for this side have eventually
found their way over to Davenport
and there the best have usually re-
manned. As an example of this three
of the open Pullmans originally de-
signed for the Rock island and Moline
lines, and that were run here last year.
are now doing service in Davenport
in addition to these of the same
style that rightfully belong there,
while box cars are still in oper-
alton in the regular service on
the main lines between Rock Island
and Moline. The public has reason
to feel every confidence in Manager
Lardner, but he will give his patrons
here better satisfaction if he will in
sist that the cars that properly belong
here be sent here and kept here. And
that the Davenport end keep it's hands
off.

TWO PERISH IN RIVER
Carl Fischer and Peter Van Hyfte
Are Drowned at
Moline.
TIE FORMER HAD BEEN FISHING
Dying When Father Finds Him.
Other Goes Beyond Depth
While Swimming.

A trsgical drowning occurred in
Moline about 4 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, the victim being Carl
Fischer. the 9-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Ernest Fisher. 1904 Twelfth
avenue in that city.
In the afternoon the father and son.
with two young men named Otto
Anderson and John Shields, went
fishing in Sylvan pool in the vicinity
of the old saw mill at the east end of
town. They threw out lines from the
bank, and after a time-the father and
toe other two men moved up along
the shore, leaving Carl behind. The
latter was busy fishing and no one
noticed him for several minutes
Finally the father looked for him and
to his alarm failed to see him.
Going to the place where the boy
had been he saw his hat floating on
the water near shore. The parent at
once entered the water aud began
searching near where the hat lay. In
a short time the body was found only
a few feet from shore in about four
feet of water.
Although the lad had been down
only few moments all efforts at re-
suscitation failed, and the remains
were borne to the saddened home.
A lum Der float was lying near shore
and it is supposed the boy lost his
balance in stepping on or off this.
The men were not over 100 feet away
and they heard no splashing or strug-
Cling.
Coroner Eckhart impanelled jury
in the evening and the verdict re-
turned was that of accidental drown
ing.

Saturday evening.
He. with a party of fellow laborers
or their way home from work,

which at the point on Sylvan island
where they entered the wafer is
rather trescherous. Van Hyfte was
the first to enter the water, and dis
regarding the warnings of his COM
panions he waded out and dropped
over ledge into deep water. Being
unable to swim he at once started 20
drown. His companions attempted
to rescue him by pushing boards out
for him to hold out, but he had be-
come helpless and sank for the last
time
An hour later the remains were re-
covered by the Moline police a short
distance from where the drowning
took place. Coroner Eckhart was
notified and impanelled jury COM
posed of L 1. Stanley, j. Friedricks,
V. Engdale, Oscar Bisant, B B
Crowder and George Stoddard, which.

Notes of the Diamond.
Rockford today and tomorrow and
thea Cedar Rapids comes.
The week day games are called at
3:45.
If Ell Smith keeps up the record at
umpirIng- that he made yesterday he
will not have any trouble getting
along in his new position. He uses
good judgment, keeps awake and fol-
10 VS. the rules to the letter.
Papa" Shaffer is the life of the
Rockford aggregation. He i, always
a favorite with the audience.
Thiery got his in Kisses. He ought
to feel proud of the reception.
The roastiL g Thiery was handed
by the crowd yesterday ought to serve
as lesson to ball players of his ilk
He was apparently cut to the Quick.
His CHEEKS turned as red as his hair
when the fans went after him
Benefits Red Stockings won from
the South Park Films on the latter
diamond yesterday afternoon, the
score being Is to l6.
That was another case of hard luck,
Miller. Your were there with the
goods, but there were too many clam
my hands surrounding you.
Middleton got two of the four hits
and the only run yesterday. Elliott
asked for an introduction to him after
the game. Middleton is doing nicely
at short, too.
Elllott's long suit is striking out
the batter when men are on bases.
Rock Island had a man on third twice
yesterday.
Such work as that done by Hughes
at second yesterday is almost enough
to kill ball team with the public.
President Sexton today suspended
Manager Smith and Catcher Evers,
of The Davenport team, for non-psy-
ment of fines imposed by Umpire
Camp at Decatur June 20. Later in
the day the fines were paid and the
players reinstated.
Before the week is out the Rock
Island team will be in shape to play
ball IL the men on whom Manager
Sage has string turn out as good as
they are cracked up to be. However.
this does not necessarily mean there
are to be many new faces on the
team.
Many inquiries have been made as
to why Manager Sage let Poor go in
stead of Hughes, as the former was,
as The ARGUS stated some days be-
fore the transaction, the more Popu-
lar of the two. The circumstances
were, however, that Sage felt that he
had stronger men in prospect than
either, and as Poor had q chance to
90 to Evansville Sage considered It q
favor to Poor to release him when he
had an opportunity to sign. 1t was
an act of Kindness to hard working
player.
