"Sappy" Rinke, a bartender at the sa-
loon owned by Jocko Manwaring, on
East Second, near Rock Island, in the
back Saturday evening at 1870
o'clock, inflicting a wound that pen
etrated to a depth of three inches.
The act is said to have been the re-

it is said, by the refusal of the bar
tender to give Russell, who was al
ready intoxicated. any more liquor.
There is also talk of a fight taking
place between the men. Russell has
flesh wound across his face. The

found that the cut was serious, al
though not necessarily fatal. While

point of the knife did not come near

MRS. MAY BRICK FREE.
Brief Story OF Alleged Crime And
Efforts For Pardon.

Cornwall, England, July 22.-Mrs.
Florence Maybrick is free. She left
on her way to France. Mrs. Maybrick,
a well known and prosperous southern
family, was married July 81, 1881, in
st. James church, Piccadilly, to James
Maybrick of Liverpool. She was then
IS years old. Her husband was over
40 years old. In the spring of 1889
Mr.. Maybrick became ill and in a few
days he died. His brother investigat-
ed his death and charged Mrs. May
brick with the murder of her husband.
A long trial followed and number of
doctors swore that the deceased died
of arsenical poisoning. The defense
proved that for twenty years Mr.. May
brick had been a confirmed user of
arsenic and that he daily took doses
large enough to have killed a dozen
ordinary men. Mrs. MaybricR was
eventually sentenced to death by the
judge, Sir Fitziames Stephens. who
spoke for two days in charging the
jury. He said it was impossible for
them to find her not guilty in the
face of the medical evidence. The
Judge died some time later in a mad
house.
From the time of Mrs. Maybrick' s
conviction her mother, the Baroness
De Roques, was unremitting in her
efforts in behalf of the prisoner. She
succeeded in having the death SEN
tence committed to penal servitude
for life, and finally has obtained the
freedom of her daughter, to whose
release from prison she has devoted
her life.

The Don ouixote of Politics.

Having posed as almost every other
character, President Roosevelt Is now
appearing as the Don Quixote Of
American politics. His proposition to
have the United States police the
western hemisphere is Don Quixote
in the truest sense. 1t is as crazy a
proposition as Cervantes ever put In
print or his hero ever attempted to
carry out. Briefly put, If any country
gets behind in its accounts 1t is the
duty of the United States to assemble
a fleet of warships in the ports Of
that country and compel payment Of
debt. If the country has no seaports
then the army is to be employed in
the debt collecting business. Should
any country fall below our moral
standard we must shoot morals into
it.-Chattanooga News.
