speaker told of the time when Mr..
Brown was telegraphing in Wilton.
Iowa. and his (McIntyre's) parents
used to point to the man who is now a
railroad magnate as one whose foot
ste ps it would be profitable for any
boy to follow. Mr.. Mcintyre said
he tried to follow Mr.. Brown, but the
first visit he made to the traih dis
patcher's office he was thrown
through the window for getting gay
with the brass work. Mr.. Mcintyre
told of numerous happy incidents in
the career of Mr.. Brown-and some
that were not so pleasant to recall.
One of the latter was to the
effect thai Mr.. Brown went
west during his early manhood
and before he was gone very long he
wrote to his father to meet him at
the cemetery outside of town; that he
had hat. Some doubted the truth
fulness of this story, but Mcintyre
made it 90 just the same, as he did
many others of a similar character.
The speak er concluded his remarks
by presenting, in behalf of citizens, II.
ID. Mack, division agent, beautiful
solid silver candelabra, as amark of
estsem and appreciation of what he
has done through his company for
Rock Island. Mr.. McIntyre said ::
Speaking of "reminiscences no refer
cnce TO the @ would be complete
without some allusion TO Harvey
ID. Mack. The name of Mack is
synonymous with everything pertain
ing to the Burlington property in Rock
Island. His affable smile is not
only the reflex of ever-abiding con-
tentment and peace of mind and soul,
but it has been responsible for many
happy day dreams and journeyings
through pleasant ways of those whose
travels upon this mundane sphere
n. light otherwise be limited TO the con-
fines of Rock Island. In speak
ing to 8 citizen of the occasion
the latter said the star of hope
must have sprung from Mr.. Mack's
forehead; that from his earliest
recoIlections of him there have
been two main accomplishments that
he was looking forward to, like
the pilgrim does when he longing
ly looks towards the promised land.
One was the building of new
depot in the vicinity of Twentieth
street. The other-weIl, wait pa
tiently for its accomplishment.

drawn upon his imagination for senti-

For when we take into consideration the
magnitude of the great railway systems
which directly enter our city-the great
burlington system, extending to the
north, east and the south and almost to
the Pacific coast, in the west; the Dav-
export, Rock Island & Northwestern,
with its direct connection with TIE
great Northwestern system, with it's
more than 5000 miles of track extend

the great Rock Island system, extending
from the head waters of the Mississippi
on the North and olmost to the Gulf on
the South, the Great Lakes on the East,
and the mountains of Colorado on the
West; and the Milwaukee system with
its thousands of miles Of track. When
we consider that the combined Iaileage
of these great railway systems is greater
than the distance around the globe and
that these great railways directly connect

MIR. Mack was accorded q warm

thanks for the evidence of good will
shown him by citizens. He protested,
however. at haviog been kept in the

him at q disadvantage in not having

Mack proved himself equal to the oc-

In an article in The Star recently I
read that German scientist stated that
in the act Of sneezing q person scattered
the resulting spray over a radius Of twen-
ty feet, and in the act of coughing about
ten feet. If this be true cannot the occa-
sional epidemics Of influenza be partially
accounted for? In street cars. for in
stance. when a person sneezes every one
in the car would be affected to a certain
extent, the sneezer's neighbor more than
any one else. A man blowing his nose
without using handkerchief is rightly
considered an object of disgust, and yet
men, and women. too, for that matter.

nose with handkerchief or hand. and seem
to think nothing of it. II the papers will
only make crusade against the unshield-
ed sneeze it may become as obsolete as

Welcome the day when the sneezer will
have enough consideration for his fell
bowman to always use his handkerchief
when he feels sneeze coming or if it
comes too suddenly for that to at least
cover it with his hand. "G"

vorce recently instituted by Gen. Robert G.
Dyrenforth against Jennie Dyrenforth the
latter today filed answer, and also a cross
bill.
In her answer Mrs. Dyrenforth asserts
that she has always treated her husband
properly and as a wife should. She adds
that he has always been In bad health and
irritable, and that he has been at intervals
confined to bed for long periods and she al
ways nursed him. 1t is added by Mrs.
Dyrenforth that, notwithstanding the fact
that her husband has treated her in cruel
and inhuman manner, she has always had
affection for him and always tried to get
along with him. 1t is denied that the par
ties separated. The only time she was ever
absent from her husband. Mrs. Dyrenforth
says, was during period when she was in
chicago educating their children
Mrs. Dyrenforth asserts that the at
tempts of her husband to charge her with
the use OF intoxicating liquors, or with an
ungovernable temper are without any JUS
tfhcatfon or excuse except for the purpose
of humiliating, and mortifyng, and injur-
ing her.
The court is informed by Mrs. Dyrenforth
that she never has been extravagant; that
she requested her husband to move from
the house they occupied in Mt. Pieasan for
the purpose of saving him money. She

Dyrenforth was also taken from Mrs.
Dyrenforth few months ago, and is like
wise being detained.
1t is averred that Gen. Dyrenforth is en-
gagged in the patent business and receives a
large income therefrom. Mrs. Dyrenforth
declares she is unalterably opposed to di-
vorce, and alleges that the complainant has
no ground for SUCH
By the cross bill which is filed in the
same suit Mrs. Dyrenforth refers to her
answer to the original bill and adopts the
charges therein contained relative to pro-
fame language and harsh treatment. She
cites several additional alleged acts of cru
city.
The court is asked to require the COM
plafnant to return to Mrs. Dyrenforth the
children referred to and to decree the pay
ment to her of a proper sum per month for
the support Of herself and children At
