Net Accused of Illegal Liquor
Selling.

John Hart, the negro. was indicted
by the federal grand jury at Peoria yes
terday for the murder of James Poppis,
alias James Papadopoulas April on
Sylvan island. The bill against Hart,
who is now in the federal prison at
Peoria. charges him with deliberately
planning the murder. which he accom-
pished by striking the Greek in the
head with pickax.
The circumstances will be recalled
here. The men quarreled over the pos
session of a wheelbarrow that they
were using in excavating for the Davis
company in Sylvan slough. After strik-
ing the Greek the fatal blow. Hart fed
to the island proper and there was
captured and nearly mObbed by his
fellow workmen.
Hart was held to the circuit court by
the finding of the coroner's jury and
also by Indictment at the May term.

mind of States Attorney Scott. he Sc
cured an opinion from District Attor-
ney Northcott of Springfield and upon
this turned the prisoner over to the
federal court at Peoria. thus saving
this county the expense of prosecution
and d probable hanging. The indict-
ment here sti'l stands. but will doubt
less now be quashed.
Other Indictments.
Other Rock Island county people
against whom indictments were re-
turned yesterday were l.. o. HOllowpe-
ter. Hans Grau, w. Wood Long and
B. H. Jennings. all of whom are charg-

cases arose from the traffic in cream
of hops" an alleged non-alcoholic sum-
mer drink which found much favor in
towns without saloons but which the
vigilant revenue officers found to differ
little from ordinary beer.

A PARENTS PLEA.

From, Life.
My little boy is eight years old,
He goes to school each day:
He doesn't mind the tasks they set
They seem to him but play.
He heads his class at raffia work
And also takes the lead
AT making dinhy paper boats
But l wish he could read.
They teach him physiology,
And o. it chills our hearts
To hear our prattling innocent
Mix up, his inward parts.
He also learns astronomy
And names the stars by night
OF course, he's very up-to-date,
But I wish he could write.
They teach him things botanical,
They teach him how to draw,
He babbles of mythology
And gravitation's law;
And the discoveries of science
With him are quite fad,
They tell me he's clever boy,
But l wish that he could add.

Not Like Japanese.

In appearance Admiral Togo looks more
like the ordinary sea captain of England
or America than a Japanese. His short,
bristiy gray beard is largely responsible for
this resemblance and marks him from his
fellow officers. He is also not SO scant OF
stature as the average Jap. and his eyes
show very little slant. Like the average
officer of the mikado he does not know how
TO wear uniform. the coat especially show
ing numerous wrinkles where 1t should fit
snugly.
But while he thus approaches Caucasian
standards outwardly in many respects, In
wardly he clings to every tradition of his
native land that does not interfere with
modern naval ideas. This tendency was
shown several days before the fleet left
Sasebo to attack Port Arthur. The admiral
had all hands piped on deck. then. while
they stood at attention, he impressively
placed small sword. pointed toward them
on little table. The crew understood
the time was close at hand when the adj
miral expected them to commit, IL neces.
sary, honorable suicide In battle for their
mikado's sake.
