LONE HOBO LEFT
IN WORKHOUSE
And He Has Become Homesick
and Discouraged and TAX
en- to His Bunk.
COUNTY ROCK PILE UNPOPULAR
Among the Weary WiIlies, Who
Have Spread News Over
the Country.

The few months that the county
workhouse has been in operation
demonstrate beyond question that the
stone pile is exceedingly unpopular in
hobodom.
When the institution in question
was first put in operation by Sheriff
Cralle this winter, there were about
fifteen contented boarders at the coun-
ty Jail of the class the workhouse was
intended for, and they were set at
breaking stone.
The attitude of the gentry toward
the new departure was at once made
manifest by the ease and suddenness
with which three of them scaled the
9-foot brick wall and made their es-
cape in the dead of winter and in not
over abundant raiment.
But One Remains.
The mum Der left to do penance on
the rocks grew steadily less, those
serving their time and gaining their
liberty failing, with q single excep-
ton, to return for another taste of it.
Finally, during the present week, but
one of the gentry remains, and weary,
lonesome, homesick and discouraged,
he has taken to his bunk. The fall
ing off may be partly due to warmer
weather, but not entirely. The NUM-
Der steadily decreased during the
coolest weather of the winter and it
has reached practically nothing be-
fore sleeping out of doors is entirely
agreeable.
Constable G. w. Sample. who has
been on guard at the rock pile. is en-
joying a vacation. He has paid pretty
close attention to his wards and
claims to have learned the signifi-
canoe of some of the secret work of
the beknighted order that has been
e1empliied in his presence. Accord
ing to his story the old knights of the
pike arranged the rating of Rock Is
land and Moline while under his
watchful eye and agreed to hereafter
enter the records of the twin cities on
the springs and axles of box cars and

PHYSICIAN BAFFLED.
Strange Case of Justification Killing
an Indiana Woman.

Strange Case of Justification killing
an Indiana Woman.
A disease resembling Justification
which has set at defiance the best
medical skill has attacked Mrs. Mary
Black. wife of Isaiah Black, an insur-
auce man of Frankfort, Ind. 1t is said
to resemble Addison's disease and be-
gan about two years ago with what APP
peared to be congestion of the kidneys.
The skin gradually took on a dark
copper color, and the muscles all over
the body began to harden.
When first attacked, Mrs. Black
weighed about POO pounds. She has
fallen away to less than 80. Her
joints are gradually becoming useless,
and the hardening is beginning to af-
feet the vocal organs. Her brain, how
ever. still retains it's faculties. Nearly
every physician in the vicinity has
been consulted, but all are puzzled.
They cannot even determine how long
the woman will live.

The nude nnd the Artist.

Paris is laughing over how an artist
got even with a dude who, having sat
for his picture, was so dissatisfied with
the result that he refused to pay for it.
The Count de y. recently had n crayon
picture of himself made, which he
afterward pretended to find fault with.
1T does not bear the slightest resem-
blance to me-" he said, land l will not
take it" The artist protested, but all
to no avail. "All right, monsieur" he
remarked finally. "if it is not at all like
you, of course l can't reasonably ex-
pect to get paid for it." After the
count had gone the painter added to the
portrait a magnificent pair of ass ears
and exhibited it TO the gaze of the
curious public. 1t had not been long
so exposed when the count broke into
the artists studio in n towering rage
and, finding that threats availed him
nothing, at last offered to buy it at a
considerable advance upon the original
price.
ct was not strange that you failed
to recognize your resemblance to the
picture at first" said the painter, de-
termined to be revenged for the slight
put upon his work. But l knew you
would notice the likeness as soon as l
added those ears"

DANGER AT CROSSINGS
IS DAILY INCREASING

The danger at the railroad cross
ings in the business portion of the
city grows daily with the increase of
traffic on the several lines doing bus
mess along First avenue. Despite
the fact that there is an order on the
records of the city council to the
effect that crossing gates be installed
at Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets,
the railroad companies continue
whizzing their trains across the
streets without affording protection
to wayfarers. 4e
This question has been discussed
heretofore by The ARGUS, and has
been taken up by people all over the
city, but the council goes on needless
of the danger or of the demands of
the public.
There should be gates not only at
Seventeenth and Eighteenth. but at
Nineteenth and Twentieth streets as
well. And there is no reason why
the councils order TO the railroad
companies should not be enforced.

Rang In Its Third Century.

The bell on historic old st. Johns
church. in Richmond, where Patrick
Henry made his famous speech prior to
the American Revolution, rang in the
twentieth century. This bell is thus
given the distinction of being the only
one in this country, with the possible
exception of that on old Liberty hall, in
Philadelphia. that has rung in three
centuries. Old st. Johns bell has an
interesting history. Many years ago.
when the old structure for which it
was made was repaired. the bell was
removed and sold. Later its last own
er presented it TO the Virginia Historic
al society. by which it was restored to
the church.-New Orleans Times-Dem-

News Spread In Hobodom.
Mr.. Sample claims that of those
who first did rough stone work for the
county, pair went toward st. Louis,
and others as they were liberated went
to Kansas City, Omahs, st. Paul and
Chicago and each couple was pledged,
by the immutable laws of the craft,
to publish the hideous truth to the
world. So it is doubtful if, at this
time, any we'll informed hobo can be
found within a radius of $50 miles
who hasn't received official notifica-
ton of the fact that Rock Island
