And shadowy lips are wreathed with tsnAss

And loving hands shine family through ne

That food the dewy dusk with rare perfumA
The loved and lost with noisslsss tsst eES

NO EFFORT MADE TO HOLD
A FIGHT AT TURNER HALL
Boys Obey Hunch They Receive From

From Scene of Battle.

The bout announced between Kid
Stackhouse and Kid zimmerman at
Rock Island Turner hall last evening
did not take place. No effort was made
to have the fight, the principals hav-
ing been notified when they visited
Sheriff Heider Tuesday that he would
interfere if they attempted to go
through with their plans. They prom
ised the sheriff they would not ignore
his orders, and they kept their word.
The hall was dark last night, none of
the interested parties putting in an APP
pearance. This probably puts an end
TO prize fighting in Rock Island county,
at least to the end of the term of the
present sheriff. which continues two
years more. During the summer the
fights are pulled off at points up and
down the river, out of reach of juris-
diction of the county authorities.

Saturday.
BIG BOND TO RE DEMANDED
BY States Attorney Scott - Has
Visit at Jail From Her
Sister.

Judge f. c. Graves will come to the
for the admission 10 bail of Mrs Mary
VI. Johnston. who is in the county Jail
held by coroner's jury on suspicion
OF having caused the death of her hus-
band, Joseph Johnston. in whose stom
ach there We're found quantities OF
strychnine.
Judge Has the Testimony.
The testimony taken before the
coroner's jury has been forwarded 10
Judge Graves, so that he may familiar
ize himself with the circumstances
of the death of Johnston. This will
obviate the necessity of any extended
hearing before the court, although the
defense has the privilege of calling
witnesses TO prove the good character
of the woman in showing that there
would be no likelihood of her attempt
ing to- take advantage of liberties that
might be accorded her.
States Attorney J. X. Scott said
this morning: Providing the bond is
adequate | will not resist the releasing
of Mrs. Johnston. but l will insist on
n big bond"

Mrs. Johnston was visited at the Jail
yesterday by one of her sisters from
