Improvement of the cemetery road.
The plan, which was devised by Mrs.
Ben 4. Gable, who has been untiring
i'm her efforts To make the most
worthy undertaking a success, has
met with popular appreciation, and it
is to be hoped the results when the
returns come in tomorrow night will
amply repay the ladies for the time
that they propose giving To the mat
ter.
Much encouragement has come in
the fact that the property holders
abutting the road in South Rock Is
land township are anxious to bear
their share of the expense of putting
the highway in creditable shape,
while the Chippiannock Cemetery as
ISOLATION is ready To do its part as
far as the portion of the thorough
fare running along the cemetery
grounds is concerned.
With those directly interested

inspired solely from public spirit, a
handsome sum should he realized.

to the gate of the cemetery if the
property owners along the road will
vacate the portion of the way that it
is claimed is being encroached upon
which renders the width less than the

HARD TIMES IN WEST
Pathetic Tale Related by Jacob Best,
Who is Returning From
Oklahoma.

PoormaSter j. II. ladders was "dll-
ed upon today to render assistance. TO
an old man named Jacob Best, whose
story was one of unusual hardship.
and if true reflects q state of affairs
that may give some prospective en-
igrantS cause for reflection.
Best is about co years of age. Last
fall he. with his family. consisting of
his wife and three children, left their
home in Niroqua. Wis, and drove
through to Oklahoma. their only pos
sessions consisting of four or five
horses and such household effects as
they were able to carry in a covered
wagon. They arrived at Saltwater in
January. There during the winter
all their horses but one died of lung
fever and the family was reduced to
the direst straits.
They had intended to rent farm,
but land was not to be had and they
had nothing TO work with if a place
had been obtainable. The country
was overcrowded and there was no
work. and after vain search for en-
ployment the husband sold the last
horse and with the proceeds obtained
paid his railroad fare as far as this
city i'm an effort to get bck to his ma
tive town i'm Wisconsin, in the hope of
securing employment by which he
could support his family and finally
get them back from Oklahoma.
The old man declared he had never
asked help of anyone till he reached
here and his appearance bore out his
story 50 forcibly that Poormaster
ladders assisted him with transporta-
ton part way to his former Wisconsin
home.

T. Maurice De Kay and Miss
Minnie E. Krey Spring
Coup on Relatives.
CEREMONY OCCURS AT DAVENPORT
Pretty Love Match That Had Its
Beginning at WOOdmen
Office.

The employees of the Woodmen head
office We're agog today over ro-
nance in which two of their number
have become involved. The princi-
pals are Il. Maurice DeKay and Miss
Minnie +. Krey. both of the auditing
department. The former lives with
his mother, Mrs. Hattie DeKay, at
52T Eleventh street, and the latter
with her grandmother, Mrs. Minnie
Ecker, 1713 Fourth avenue.
The acquaintance of the couple
dates from the time they were as
signed to work together a the Wood
men office. Miss Krey was employed
IN the office when Mr.. DeKay took a
position there and the former was set
to teach the latter the mysteries of
the work.
But the course of instruction did
not end there.
Objections Not He eded.
When Mrs. Ecker observed how
matters were going she objected to
the attentions her granddaughter was
receiving and finally forbade the
young man from coming to her home.
The courtship continued. however,
and last evening the crisis came.
While Mrs. Ecker was attending the
concert of the Rock Island Choral
union last evening the granddaughter
gathered her belongings, placed them
in an express wagon and departed.
When the grandmother returned home
she found n note which said:
Good bye, | am married. Minnie"
Welded Across River.
Today il was learned that the cou-
pie last evening procured n license
and We're married in Davenport. The
groom did not work yesterday, but
the bride was at her desk all day.
They went to Davenport Immediately
after the Office closed. The couple
were at the home of the groom today,
but they refused to discuss the we'd
ding or their future intentions.
