HEAVY VOTE BEING
POLLED AT CITY ELECTION

From early morning today the car
riages were busy hauling voters to
and from the polls. The city-town-
ship, election in progress is one of the
most Interesting in the history of the
city and the activity of the ward
workers of the various candidates all
over the city began at an unusually
early hour with the result that by
noon large vote had been polled and
the indications were that by the time
of closing the polls the number of
votes cast would be the largest ever
known at a local election.
y surprise for many was the num-
Der of votes being east for the indie
pendent candidate for mayor, G. w.
McCaskrin, whom the republican poll
workers admitted is cutting deeply
into the republican vote. During the
afternoon many were of the opinion
that the fight lay between McCask-
rim and Mr.. Maucker for the mayor
atty. The latter was generally con-
ceded, however. to have the best of
it, and indications point also to the
success of the remainder of the demo-
cratic ticket.

HYPNOTIC SPELL ENDS
IN DEATH OF PATIENT

Mrs. Marshall Mink, the Monmouth
woman who was last week sent to the
Waterfowl hospital after having been
found insane as the result of pursu-
ing the study of hypnotism, died yes
terday at that institution. Ever since
she arrived at the hospital she has
been violent and has been growing
worse and worse. In her rawlings she
had been going through the same eX-
periences that marked the first few
DAYS of her affection. Sunday after
noon she became less violent and
about o'clock her entire system
seemed TO collapse and she sank into
a sort of comatose condition. from
which she never rallied. The case IS
one of the strangest on record and IS
attracting wide attention.

PLAN A NEW ROAD
Tri-City Capitalists interested in
Company to Build I'M
portant Line.
THE IOWA, ILLINOIS & MISSOURI
Designed to Tap East and West
Roads Between Dubuque
and ST. Louis.

The filing in Rock Island this morn
ing of the articles of incorporation
of the Iowa, Illinois d Missouri Rail-
way company is an event of more
imam common interest and the results
OF which, when the present plans of
the projectors are carried out. will,
from what can be learned. be far
reaching and of great Importance to
the people of this community
The articles show the line is to run
from Dubuque to st. Louis via the
trl-cities, with three branches from
the main line-one to Keolul1. one to
Burlington, and one to Muscatine.
The Proposition of effecting an en-
trance to. the three cities is very
difficult one and plans for solving it
are not yet fully matured. The man
ner OF crossing the river is also not
fully determined, but it is believed
that the Crescent briEgc will be used,
as the ordinances of the d., r. l. &
" w. company in all three cities re-
quire that the tracks and bridge be
open to the use of other companies
when desired. 1t is possible, how
ever, that the company may seek a
bridge further up the river.
The Incorporation.
The imcOrpOrators and directors of
the Iowa, Illinois & Missouri Railway
company are: George T. Cram. ST
Louis; Eugene Cary, Chicago; Walter
A. Rosenfield, Edward H. Guyer,
Thomas j. Medill. Rock Island; J. s.
Wyfe, George II. Boynton, \. f. Cut
ter, Davenport; Alphons Matthews,
Dubuque; S. S. Hallam, Monmouth.
The new railroad, which will follow
the shortest practicable route be-
tween its termini, will, in common
parlance in the future, probably be
known as the st. Louis Short Line"
and, by crossing or connecting with
all the trunk lines running east and
west between Chicago and Omaha. in
addition to the great saving in dis
tance Travelled. it will be not only a
trunk line itself with low grades and
light curvatures. but also belt line,
by means of which any or all of the
overland railways may, through
trackage or traffic contracts, have di-
rect access to the tri-cities.
VIII Tap Big Lines.
Among the railway companies
which might be expected to
avail themselves of such privileges
are the Santa Fe. Iowa Central, Il. q
o. and Wabash on the south, by means
of which new and direct routes will
enable the people here to reach the
Atlantic seaboard on the east, and
the ports on the Pacific and Gulf
coasts on the west and south with
the least Inconvenience and loss of
| time.
On the north. in connection with
the new line. the Northwestern, Hi
nOis Central and Great Western rail-
ways may confidently be expected to
carry the commerce of the three cit
les to and from all parts of the west
and northwest.
BY the new line the distance to st.
Louis will be reduced at least 81 miles
below that of the present short line;
to Kansas City. probably 80 miles or
more. and to Dubuque not less than
&c miles will be cut off.

NOMINATION
Fight On Among Republicans Will
Probably Result in Election
of Democrat.

The Rock Island county republi-
cans who went to Bushnell yesterday
to attend the meeting of the commit
teemen from the new Fourth supreme
district, of which this county has be-
come a part under the new appor-
tionment, returned last evening en-
tirely Disguised with the treatment
they had been accorded in their eff
forts in behalf of Judge w. II. Gest.
of this city, for the republican nom
nation.
Rumors that had been circulated
that Judge Carter, of Quincy. the
present incumbent, had fixed" things
in the lower. part of the district
through meetings held before the APP
pOrtionment act was passed by the
legislature proved to have been well
founded.
The local members found only two
counties of the fourteen in the dis
trict represented. and it was only af-
ter a great deal of telephoning that
representatives of eight counties were
brought together.
Get Small Consideration.
Alexander Schall, of Quincy, presid
eel, ana Inc effort OF the members
from this and Mercer counties to
have the action of the counties of the
lower end taken before the district
was formed set aside was sidetracked
without debate, Judge Carter himself
being there to see that il was done.
Before the members from this end
of the district left they assured Judge
Carter that they would take great
pleasure in seeing that he got small
support from up this way. He is
charged with having introduced pea
nut" politics into a campaign that
| ought to be characterized by dignity.
Good Chance for Democrat
The fight that is now on practically
insures the election of a democratic
Judge from the district if the party
places the right man in nomination.
As matters stand republican candi-
date from either end of the district
will get the knife from the members
of the party at the other end and
the southern counties are strongly
democratic anyway.
Among the prominent democrats
mentioned in connection with the can
didacy are Guy [. Scott, of Aledo; W.
L. Nandevender and Judge j. c. Bro
die. of Quincy, and o. p. Thompson,
Of jacksonville.

the monotonous reading. adjournment
was taken.
