RKcEIvED s2s, 900 FOR
TWO MONTHS KINDNESS

Because he showed a kindly interest
in an old man. Fred Billings. of Ster-
ling, formerly of Marinette, Wis, is to-
day richer by over s2s 5000, willed TO
him by Peter Keller. miser, who died
recently at his home in Sterling. of
rheumatism. Fred Billings is employed
by the Sterling, Dixon & Eastern Elec-
trio railway as a freight steam engin-
eer. He arrived in Sterling about two
months ago from Marinette where he
was employed by Mr. Higgins. He had
much difficulty in securing a desirable
house for himself and family. and after
much search he made a proposition to
Mr.. Keller. who has for many years
lived the life of a recluse, that he rent
his house. The agreement was that
Mr.. Billings was to have his house rent
free. and in return he was to take care
of Mr.. Keller. The old man had been
living alone and the place was dirty
and run down. Mr.. Billings had the
place repapercd, cleaned il up, and did
much work about the premises. He
also showed MIR. Keller much attcn-
ton. This kindness appealed to the
old man, and three weeks ago he made
his will. In his will he left everything
to Mr.. Billings, a man he had known
but few months, but who had kind
ness and cheer to give TO others.

NOTHING YET HEARD FROM
TAMPICo SCHOOL TEACHER

AS yet no light has been thrown on
the mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of +. n. Sackett, principal
of the public school at Tampico, who
went to Fulton June to meet an in
surance agent, and who went to Gin
ton the next day and disappeared
completely. The police have made dill
igent inquiries, but have failed to get
any trace of the missing man.
Chief of Police Rundgren. of Gin
ton. has received a letter from J. N
Nattrass, The Dubuque insurance man
man who was met at Fulton. The Du-
buQue man stated in his letter that he
had no knowledge of the whereabouts
of Sackett. The latter was to meet
him in Fulton June -, he said. En-
closed was letter which Sackett had
written to Nattrass the eth of June In
il the man who is now missing stated
that he thought the following Monday
would be a good day for them to meet
at Fulton, where they could go to Al
bany together. Sackett having asked
for an agency in the insurance COM
pany which NattrasS represents. The
insurance man did not go to Fulton,
and not heard anything from Sackctt
since.
The Clinton police, who arc familiar
with the facts in the case. are of
the opinion that Sackctt is suffering
with mental alteration, and is wan
dering about in that condition. per
haps far away by this time. Efforts
to locate him will be continued.

ROCK RIVER MAY BREAK
TWO RECORDS THIS YEAR

4 few days ago word was received
from Dixon that Rock river at that
city had reached the lowest point
known for 40 years and was steadily
reccding, every morning showed a
bank of moist black earth from which
the water had rcccded during the
night.
The river has been lowering steadily
in Rockford, says the Rockford Star,
but it Is only within a short time that
it has been particularly noticeable. II
will only be a matter of a a day or
two before the results at Dixon will be
experienced here. Concerning the CON
dition of the river the Star continues:
Every year at this time the river
has been low caused from lack of rain
and the drying up of the springs. but
this year the water has been good.
The manufacturers on the water pow
or say that it has held up 10 a high
mark longer than usual and it was
only two or three weeks ago they be
gan to realize the time for trouble in
that direction had arrived.
THE river this spring reached the
highest water mark known in 30 years
and today it is so low in places the
steamers are unable to land at the
usual places. At Loves park landing
is impossible until a pier is built and
this is only one of many instances
along the river"

GENEsE0 INSTITUTE MUST
HAVE LOCAL HELP TO EXPAND

Rev. W. s. Marquis. of this city, and
Mr.. Thompson, of GeneseO, the COM
mittee of the board of trustees of the
Geneseo Collegiate institute who went
TO New York TO see what help could be
secured from the general church board
toward raising the grade of the insti-
tute TO that of a college, met with the
other trustees IN Geneseo Friday even
ing and reported upon the success of
their mission.
At the recent meeting OF the Gen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
church of the United States. the col
lege board was entirely reorganized.
new men appointed and the headquar-
quarters from Chicago to New York,
Furthermore. the general assembly
directed this board to abandon all
Presbyterian academies in the United
States for the obvious reason that the
rapid and universal development Of
high schools rendered the academies
much less necessary than in previous
years. The church at large has re
solved to throw its support to colleges
only. This movement is in direct OPP
position to the Illinois plan which pro
posed to endOw academies as well as
colleges.
The trustees of G. G. |. were quick to
see that this action of the general as
sembly would make it impossible to
develop the institute along the lines
they had planned; so they decided to
confer with the board to see whether
help could be secured to reorganize the
in SIitutR as n college
The G. c. |. trustees estimated that
in order to reOrganize as collage, il
would be necessary to secure sufficient
funds to erect new building at a
cost of not less than s25, 900 and to
increase the present endowment by at
least $4,000. This means that SIS, 900
would be a minimum amount neces-
sary to place a college on safe run
ming basis. 1t was decided to make an
effort to secure financial assistance
from the people of GeneseO and vicin-
ity. without which the project will
probably be abandoned.

G. MIXTER INJURED

His Face.
ON FIFTH AVENUE
Explosion Occurs When He seeks to
FIJI Tank With Water Last
Evening.

George MiXter, superintendent at
Deere & Co, Moline, is suffering I'M
told agony and will be unable to full
I'LL his duties for some time, as the re-
suit of an accident which occurred in
this city last evening. The accident
was most peculiar one. and one that
most people would not have expected
TO occur
Mr.. MiXter had been out in his auto
mobile, and the water in the cooling
tank had run low, which of course re-
suited in the tank becoming charged
with steam, and a high pressure of
steam at that.
When Mr.. MiXter reached the water
ing trough just below the street car
barn on Fifth avenue, he decided. to
fill the tank. When he took off the
cap for this purpose there was rush
of steam, which went into his face
with terrific force, scalding the face
badly.
Head Placed in Bandage.
He was given surgical attention and
his head bandaged in such manner
that only two peep-holes and breath
ing hole were allowed
1t is expected that the skin will
peel from the face and that it will be
some time before Mr.. Mixter's face
presents its normal appearance.
