he exclusion of the affairs of the
heart. Honore Palmer, with his
brother, Potter Palmer, Jr, is heir to
an estate estimated to be worth up
wards of thirty millions. At the
prompting of his mother, it is said,
he entered the field of politics a few
years ago and was recently elected
an alderman Of Chicago for the sec

Miss Grace Brown, the bride of to-
day, is a daughter of the late George
Brown Of altimore. While the Brown
family has been one of the greatest
prominence in Maryland it has never
been considered wealthy family.
The brides father was renowned as
one of the finest specimens of the
real country gentlemen to be found
anywhere in the country and his es-
tate of 100 acres in the Green Spring
Valley was the scene of lavish hos
pitality.
Mrs. Palmer, the bride, is not an
exceptionally beautiful girl, but is
petite and graceful, with a bright, in
teresting face, and a cheerfulness
that is as contagious as it is natural
She is highly educated, a gifted ling
ust, musician of marked ability and
horsewoman Of absolute intrepidity.

STEAMBOAT CALLIOPE NEEDS
A SUNDAY SOFT PEDAL

The excursion steamer j. :. has one
of the best calliopes i'm the country,
the steam musical Instrument being
not only clear in tone, but perfect in
harmony. Capt. Streckfus' big music
box is all right in an artistic sense,
but il needs one thing-a soft pedal
for Sundays at all events. Yesterday
morning a large percentage of the
population of Rock Island and Dav-
export was awakened ut daylight by
the notes of the instrument which
kept the concert of lively airs going
until the boat put out for Clinton
with its excursion. Last night when
it returned the performance was re-
peated.
For the enjoyment of the people
who patrunizc the boat the steam
whistle music may be all right, and
no one has a right to complain on that
score, but there is no reason why the
entire town need be disturbed Sunday
morning and evening because part
of the community is going off on a
river excursion. Get a soft pedal,
Capt. Strecl<fus, and then you can
have your calliope played to the
hearts content of all your patrons,
and no one will say word.

KILLED BY TRAIN
John O'Heren, of Warmers Cross
ing Struck Near East
Moline.
ON WAY HOME SATURDAY NIGHT
Was Either Asleep on Tracks or it
Was a Case of
Suicide.

John O'Heren, while on the rail
road track enroute to his home near
Warmers Crossing, was run down and
killed Saturday evening by passenger
train No. 10 on the Rock Island Just
out of East Moline.
OHeren was employed at the Union
Malleable Iron works at East Moline.
1t is thought he was under the in
flucnce of liquor and did not hear the
approaching train until it was too
late for him to escape its wheels.
The unfortunate man was hurled 20
the north of the track, his head being
crushed to 4 pulp. lie leaves his wild
ow and five children.
An inquest was conducted by Coro-
ner Eckhart, the verdict of the jury
holding that death was accidental and
attaching no blame to the railroad
company.
May be Suicide.
At the inquest facts were developed
that cause it to appear that O'Hcren
had either gone to sleep with the rail
for IA pillow or that the case was one
of deliberate suicide. While there is
no known motive for the latter, it is
known that he refused to get out of
the way of an interurban car only
half an hour before he was killed by
the train. He was seen by the motor
man, who succeeded in bringing his
car to stop after he found that
O'Hcrcn would not respond to the
alarm of the gong. The opinion Of
those who examined the body closely
was that the injuries received could
not have been inflicted had he been
in a standing position when struck.
