Girl Changes Her TestImony.

Miss Margaret Miller, the girl who
was with Miss Dunlap when Miss
Dool was given the candy, was one of
the witnesses. Miss Miller had been
questioned at her home near Kirk
wood several days ago by Assistant
States Attorney III. +. Burgess and
Court Reporter Edwin Dice, who took
her statement down in shorthand.
The transcript of that statement
shows that she then stated that Miss
Dunlap had taken the candy out of
the sack and handed it to Miss Dool.
In her Evidence yesterday Miss Miller
testified that Miss Dool had taken
the sack from Miss Dunlap and had
taken the candy from it with her
own hand. In her sworn statement
yesterday she denied that she had
made the answers she is reported to
have made to her intervicwers.

ILLINOIS is A
DREAM INSIDE
Painters at Work Three Weeks :
Manager Cox Makes
Changes.

The theatre-goers of Rock Island
will certainly experience thrill of
pleasure at the improved appearance
of the interior of the Illinois theatre
when the doors of that pretty play
house are thrown open for the sea-
son.
Manager Cox has had force of
cleaners, painters, etc., busy for the
past three weeks, and evidence of
their work is everywhere. Although
the carpets had only been used
short time, they have all been taken
up and cleaned; the woodwork has
been secured and in many places re-
painted, and to heighten the Grim
soE and gold effect, which is the
prominent feature of the interior
decorations, much additional bronx
ing has been done, especially notice.
able in all the steel pillars support
ing both the balcony and gallery, and
the same adds materially TO the beau
tiful color scheme.
An innovation which the ladies will
fully appreciate has been introduced
by the new manager, being the
changing of what was used last sea-
son by the gentlemen as a smoking
room, on the left of the foyer, to a
ladies' dressing room, where they
may remove their hats, Cloaks. etc,
and Will find the coEveriences of their
own boudoirs, with a maid in con-
slant attendance to attend to their
wants.
The comfort of the actor has not
been forgotten, and no theatre can
boast of larger and more convenient
dressing rooms, scrupulously clean,
and Hastily. furnished. The advance
sale in the future will be at the Illi-
nois Smoker, in the Illinois theatre
building. aud under Mr.. CCX's person
al supervision.
While there is reason to believe
that Rock Island will have the best
attractions to be had the coming sea-
son, il is not very encouraging to see
the renovated house turned over at
the opening to Il cheap class of
shows.
The Van Dyke & Eaton company
will be the attraction at the Illinois
theatre an next week in repertoire
of comedies and comedy dramas.
Monday night Driven to Bay is an
nounccd, and is spoken of as a society
comedy drama of unusual merit. This
will be the opening of the pre-sum
mer fall season at the Illinois thea
tire.

MISS DUNLAP FREED
AIedo Justice Refuses to Hold Her
in Connection With Miss
Doors Death.
SAYS STATE HAS MADE NO CASE
Accused Girl Collapses and Has TO
BE Assisted to Court
Room.

! Miss iona Dunlap was arrested at
Aledo yesterday charged with the
murder of her friend, Annie Dool, by
giving her poisoned candy Aug. z.
She was given an immediate prelim-
mary hearing and was discharged,
Justice L. b. Doughty holding that
the state had made out no case
against her.
| States Attorney Graham says the
case will not be dropped, though he
is not prepared to say whether he
will cause rearrcst and rehearing be-
fore another Justice or await the
meeting of the grand jury.
Miss Dunlap bore up remarkably
well under the strain of her situa-
ton until Tuesday night, when she
suffered a collapse, and she had to
be assisted to and from the court
room yesterday.
State Offers It's Evidence
Miss Dunlap was taken before JUS
tice W. ID. Emerson Immediately af-
ter her arrest yesterday. Her attor-
neys, however, asked for change of
venue, and the case was taken to
Justice Doughty.
The taking of the evidence offered
by the state began at 10:30 and con-
tinued until $3.50 last evening, when
States Attorney w. y. Graham an
nounced the state-rested its case.
The state sought TO show that Miss
Doo's death indicated strychnine
poisoning; that the dead girls sick
ness had Immediately followed her
eating some candy given her by Miss
Dunlap; that the remainder of the
piece of candy of which Miss Doul
had eaten contained strychnine in
considerable quantities; that the
walls and contents of the stomach
contained strychnine, and the de-
PENDANT had bought strychnine three
or four days before the poisoning.
Presence OF Poison Proved.
The presence of strychnine in the
stomach walls and it's contents was
testified to by DIR. j. \. Patton, pro-
fessor of chemistry in Rush Medical
college of Chicago, though he had not
made quaHtitatIve analysis to asccr-
tain whether or not there was enough
strychnine to have caused Miss Doors
death
The state made no effort to show
motive for the deed, presumably re-
serving that until the trial itself, if
there Is a motive to be shown.
The defense offered no evidence
and waived argument. Justice7Dougf-
~ held that the state had failed to
make ease. having shown no mo-
tive, and refused to hold Miss Dun
lap to the grand jury.

COLD SHIP" CONTROVERSY.
Some of Trustees Say Petition is il
 Error.


 The name of "Old Ship Church" will not be changed to Clinton Chapel Ar rican Methodist Episcopal Zion Church until the old trustees have exhausted every legal means to prevent 1t. The members of the church who signed the petition, however, point to the fac, that the old trustees were turned out of the church and have, therefore, they say, nothing more to do with it's affairs The petition which was filed Tuesday in the office of the Judge of Probate. to change the name of the church and to amend the charter purported to be sign- ed by 562 members of the church The pe- tition was temporarily withdrawn from the Probate office yesterday to be amend ed.
 The insurgent trustees in the meanwhile have not ben idle. A petition eeigned by Stephen Reeves, P. H. Green and others was filed yesterday denying the state ment contained in the original appllca- tion to have the name of the church changed. The last petition asserts that the statements contained In the first pe- tition were not warranted by facts.
 The last petition asks that date be set for an investigation. The statutes pro- vide for no mode of conducting hear ing of this sort although an investigation will be granted before the certificate as to the change of the name of the charter Is issued.

"A Will Which Cannot Be Broken
"Deaths of rich men oft remind us That we make q sad mistake If we think to leave behind us :, Wills that lawyers cannot preek

The above little parody is too often true, but by means of lie assurance a man can leave a will which cannot be broken. By means of a Continuous h. staIlment Policy he can abso- lutely provide for his wife or daughter as long as she lives- The policy will guarantee to the beneficiary an income for life which nothing can take away, and it can neither be lost nor squandered, ,nor other- wise wasted. In other words, the policy, in addition to enab- ling a man to instantly create for his family, in the event of his death, an amount of flnan- cial protection which it might take him years to provide by any other means, also enables him to have this protection continued to his family for many years-after his death. By means of ordinary life as- surance you make provision that your family may be able to live m comfort for many years.
