Trenton Paper Says Rock Island Will
Surely Shorten Inc

Trenton, Mo-, Jan. 24.-The Repub-
lican of this city says:
The Republican is in possession of
authentic and reliable information in
reward to the railroad matters which
have been the object of so much re-
cent comment and conjecture. Though
the liberty to disclose the source of
the Information is withheld, the
same is nevertheless official and trust
worthy, and was given out in private
interview with one closely in touch
with those in control of Rock Island
affairs.
in the first place the cutoff from
Trenton to Eldon is, as matters now
sta |, the full and matured intention
of the Rock Islands owners, con
ditioned only upon the action of the
people along the proposed line in Sc
curing the right-of-way. A definite
proposition was made by the company
the acceptance of which means that
the cutoff will be constructed with
out doubt. The line will run from
Trenton through Unionville and
Bloomfield to point near Eldon.

1T WAS A SAD CASE.
Mrs. John Smith Found Dead and
Alone in Iowa CITY.

(From Fridays Daily.l
Lying on the bare floor of her mis-
cradle howell in Iowa City Mrs. John
Smith, an aged woman, was found
dead Monday morning. The woman
had evidently died alone. The place
gave the appearance of having been
completely torn up, and it is believed
that while in spasm the unfortunate
being breathed her last. She was
very poor and the county had provid-
ed for her several times of late. Mrs.
Smith had one son and one daugh-
ter. The daughter is supposed to be
living in Spring Valley, ILL.,, and the
son was brought to Ottumwa only last
week where he was taken by well
known family of this county and
adopted. But little was known of
Mrs. Smith in Iowa City, or where she
came from. She had lived in that
place but few months. 1t is report
ed that she was a slave to the NOR
phine habit, and it is believed that she
was under its influence when she died.
She was always known as a hard
working woman and although she was
nearly destitute she had many friends
who would have been glad to help her
had she indicated that she wanted as
siStance.
Is Found Dead.
On January IA Mrs. Smith rented a
vacant room in mouse located on
Church street, Iowa City, from Joseph
Unash. She Immediately moved into
the house, and nothing more was
thought of the matter until Monday
when Mr.. Unash went to the house
and pushing open the door, found the
woman lying upon the floor dead. The
body was at once sent to an undertake
ing establishment where it was soon
learned that death had resulted from
natural couses.
A Bare Room.
A further search of the house, dis
covered the room in which the woman
was found to be entirely bare, with
the exception of a blanket which had
been spread upon the floor A portion
of a pail of oysters was scattered
about the room, together with a partly
filled bottle Of catsup. The woman
had evidently purchased the oysters
for her meal, and while eating them
had been taken suddenly insane, or
had been made insane by the use of
morphine. In her dying struggles she
had smeared the catsup all over her
face, and when the body was picked
up it was in a horrible condition.
Daughter Not Found.
The unfortunate woman is said to
have married daughter living in
Spring Valley, H., and efforts were
made to find her but they were unsuc,
cessful. She also had a bright young
son. He was brought to this city last
week and placed in a comfortable
home where he will be given an op-
portunity to grow up and make use
full man of himself. The woman
fought against giving up the boy, but
friends interceded, and finally con-
WINGED her that it would be better for
