The yarn which the Union sprung
in its issue of yesterday morning at
almost the last moment before the
election that John P. LOoney had made
a saloon crusade Saturday night in the
interest of w. c. Allen for the Office of
states attorney is too thin to wash It
will not go down with intelligent peo-
pie Either the Union is exceedingly
gullible and has been duped as usual
by Looney, or it is a party to a DELHI
crate political conspiracy to misrepre-
sent the situation.
Whether or not LOoney attempted to
create the impression that he was set
ting 'em up for Allen, or whether he
really did commit such a farce in some
quarters ought not to be material to
the minds of fair-minded people at all
familiar with the trend of recent pO-
litical events in Rock Island city and
county.
The fact that Looney was not only
instrumental in the nomination of
Scott. and has been closely associated
with him in matters political and 9th
erwise has never been denied, nor can
it be successfully refuted. The fact,
off the official ballot by holding a rump
convention and nominating himself for
the same office. and kept the matter in
a state of uncertainty until the last mo-
ment when nomination papers could be
properly attested. that he admitted
when he was nominated that he did not
expect to be elected, ought to be proof
sufficient as to his relations with Scott
and his interest in his candidacy.
And all these things in addition to
the exposures as TO the other relations
be, ween Scott and Looney place this
latest and eleventh-hour spectacle in
a Light that is both ridiculous and alb
surd- Today Harry NJ. McCaskrin,
who has been leading the fight on
Scott from the republican standpoint,

John Norden, white, shot Saturday
evening by Carl Davis, colOred, died at
6 o'clock last evening at Mercy hos

Davis has not had his hearing yet,

shooting Of Norden was accidental;
that the shot was intended for dog
that he claims Norden had sicked on
him.
Davis IS married TO white woman

the latter was standing at the gate.

him. Davis did not have his gun with
him then, but returned to the boat for
it. He resumed his pilgrimage 70 the
brewery, and in passing the Norden
house the canine again took after him.
whereupon he Ieveled the gun and
fired at the dog.
Davis declared that in aiming at the
dog he stumbled and fell and the charge
went in another direction from which
he intended it TO go, entering Norden's
stomach. Davis gave himself up to the

HAS DONE MUCH FOR
THE SALVATION ARMY
Commander Booth-Tucker Who is Now
About to Bid Farewell to
America.

Now that Commander Booth-Tucker
of the Salvation Army is farewelling
from the United States it will be of in
terest to note a few facts in his life
and especially those which pertain to
his work in this country.
He was born in India, where his faith
er was a prominent shareholder and
an officer in the Great East India COM
pany. He was sent to England for his
education. and then prepared to enter
the civil service in his native land
After a few years he CHANGED upon a
mention of the Salvation Army in a
newspaper item, sent a contribution to
London. and received in return a copy
of the War Cry. After reading 1t ne
determined to investigate further, and
he went to London tor that purpose
ending in his casting aside the ermlne
If the Judge and dCnning the azure Of
the Salvation Army. In doing this ne
left a position with a munificent sal
airy, and became as poor as the mendi-
cant priests of his native country.
Once in the army he threw the vigor
and fervor of his whole soul into its
work and his advance has been CORES
pondingly rapid. His first work was
in India On one of his visits to Eng
land TO secure officers for the work he
ne was united in marriage with EE.ma,
the generals second daughter, who re-
turned to India with him. In few
years her health became so impaired
that a return to England was impera-
tive
Some nine years ago a change was
made in the American field and he was
sent here as commander and his wife
as consul. They came just at a time
when the days were darkest in the his
DRY of the army in this country, but
by tact and unusual ability, and above
all. indefatigable effort on the part of
both of them the victory was won, and
he army put upon an entirely new
footing.
a few facts and figures will serve to
show what has been accomplished in
the nine years of their command. Tie
