WOMAN DIES UNDER
ODD ClRCUMS
Miss Josie Hennings, Housekeeper
Found Dying in an OutbuiIdins at
go Fifth Street Today

Miss Sophia Hennings, housekeepeI
at the home of Christian Schroeder.
$50 Fifth street, was found in an out
building at the premises this morning.
in a dying condition, and though ply
stefan attended her, she was in such
condition that recovery was impossible.
She died at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
She was thought, when discovered, to
be dead, and a physician and the coro-
ner were summoned. The physician
and an assistant removed her from the
building. and for time she seemed to
revive. but later she weakened, and
death followed in three hours.
Owing to the hopeless condition of
the woman, she was not removed to
the hospital, the efforts of those attend
ing her being devoted to making her
comfortable. Little is known of the
woman She had been acting as Mr..
Schroeder's housekeeper for some
weeks. Coroner. Eckhart this after
noon is conducting an inquest at the
Knox undertaking rooms. The cir
cumstances are such that is difficult to
assign death to any particular cause.

STAG Leuencls.

There Is no beast in the world to
which more legendary virtues are at
tributed than the stag, partly owing
to the tale of st. Hubert, partly to a
supposed antipathy of stays toward
serpents. partly to peculiar mass of
gristle in the shape of cross which
is found in the animals heart. A
whole book might be written on the
miraculous power of the heart and the
efficacy of different parts of him
against the. TROUBLES of this evil world.
Fouilloux, In the sixteenth century,
gives a long list, and Master Robert
Topsel fills page upon page with them.
but our author in his solid English
fashion is chary of accepting such
stories
Men say. he admits, that when a
stag is right old he beateth a serpent
with his foot till she be wroth, and
then eateth her, and then goeth to
drink, and then runneth hither and
thither till the water and venom be
meddled together, and maketh him cast
all his evil humors that he had in his
body, and maketh his flesh come all
anew. But, he adds, with the solemnity
of Herodotus himself, Thereof make L
none affirmation And this phrase
occurs again and again, for the Comte
de Folk is too great and noble a hunter
that any assertion of his should be
laughed at.--Macmillan's Magazine.

He had not rested well last night,
and had not risen this morning Just
few moments before Mr.. Koehler
fired the shot, one of his daughters had
been in his room, and had asked him if

A Terrible Punishment.

Herr Hager, wealthy and absent
minded banker who lived in Berlin
many years ago, frequently had watch
es picked from his pocket. AT first he
had recourse to all kinds of safety
chains; then one fine morning he took
no precaution whatever and quietly al
lowed himself to be robbed. At night
on returning from business, he took VI
the evening paper. when he uttered an
exclamation of delight. A watch had
exploded in mans hands. The hands
of the victim were shattered and the
left eye gone. The crafty banker had
filed the watch case with dynamite
which exploded during the operation OF
winding.

A dispatch from Topeka. Kan, an

point 800 farmers of that state dele
gates to the National Farmers con-
gresS which meets in this city in Oc-
tober and that the delegation will come
on special train decorated with ban

This is but one of several like dele

the entire United States viii be well

where farmers prosper most will send
hundreds to benefit by the feast of
good things from an agricultural point
of view that has been prepared for
delegates.
The program, which has previously
been published in full, is the best that
has ever been prepared for "a meeting
of the farmers congress. Men of ma
tional reputation at the head of the
work in various lines of agricultural
endeavor, will expound the latest ideas
summarizing the scientific achieve
ments of the year

This has been a good year for the
farmer-one of the best ever known
and the tiller of the soil is prosperous
For this reason as well as because of
favorable location for the meeting
and other considerations he will be
more than ever disposed to attend the
meeting here. Therefore all attend
ance records without doubt will be
broken
This is one of the few national meet
ings that Rock Island has been privi-
legged to entertain and its Importance
from purely local point of view can
not be overestimated. Therefore the
most must be made of the opportunity
and every facility offered to make the
meeting success. The resources of
Rock Island, as well as of the three
cities, will be taxed to the utmost dur
ing the entire week beginning Oct. s.
In view of all this and the great
amount of work to be done in the
meantime it behooves citizens gener
ally to bend every effort from now on
to insure the success of the meeting.

There is lesson in the work of the
thrifty farmer. He knows that the
bright sunshine may last but day and
he prepares for the showers which are
so liable to follow. So it should be
with every household. Dysentery, diar-
rhoea and cholera morbus may attack
some member of the home without
warning. Chamberlah's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy, which is
the best known medicine for these dis
eases. should always be kept at hand,
as immediate treatment is necessary,
and delay may prove fatal. For sale

Burglars were in evidence again
last night and gave residents on Seven

not successful in carrying away much
booty. Two men entered the home of
ID. S. Cross of 1916 Seventeenth street
and carried away about S. in money
and destroyed pair of eye glasses.
The burglars entered the kitchen
through a screen and opened the rear
door. They went through the first floor
and looted all drawers, searching sew
eral pocket books and finally winding
up their work with a lunch of milk ana
pie. 1t is supposed that they entered
some time between 10 o'clock and 6
O'Clock this morning. Mr.. and Mrs.

was used for light and tallow was

THE COTTON ASSOCIATION.

The farmers of the South have
every reason to be proud of the
success of their great cotton cor
vention held in New Orleans,
last week. One Of the most
notable and significant features
Of the mighty gathering of lead
ing Southern agriculturalists
was the upanimity with which
all important measures were
adopted. Not a dissenting vote
was recorded on any question
vitality affecting the association's
welfare.
1t is now up to the farmers
throughout the country to be
equally as united in carrying
into effect the recommendations
of their representatives in New
Orleans. Will they do it? We
believe that they will. We be-
lieve that the time has come
when the farmers are going to
stand together as they have
never stood before. The cotton
association has already demon
strated the value of concert of
action, bu, a more thorough de-
monstration may now be looked
for.
