HOME TO DIE IN
HER MOTHERS ARMS
Pathetic Case of Margaret MuIvihiIi
Who Hurried from Portland
to Moline.

After hurrying from Portland, Ore.
which she had left after being warned
that she had but few days yet to live
Miss Margaret Mulvihill reached her
home in Moline this morning and inn
mediately after entering the door fell
dead in her mothers arms. She waC
victim of consumption.
Several weeks ago Miss Mulvihill
went to Portland for che benefit of her
health. She made the home of her
sister, Mrs. James Carlin, who lives at
Portland, her stopping place. Instead
of being benefited by the change OF
climate she grew steadily worse and
was finally told by her physicians that
if she wished to die at home she must
return to Illinois at once.
Accompanied by her sister Miss Null
vihill started east. She suffered great
ly enroute, and at Des Moines. Mrs
Carlin urged that stop be made for
a few days rest But the patient
would not give her consent and by
sheer force of will held off the newt
able collapse till she reached home.
Miss Mulvihill was So years of age
and had made her home in Moline
since childhood. She is survived by
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Null
vihill, and second sister, Miss Minnie.

A Sea-leveI Canal.

The expert engineers that make up
the advisory body of the Panama canal
commission have decided in favor of
a sea-level canal. This will greatly in.
crease the cost and mean longer per-
iod of construction, but its advantages
will be just so much greater. In med
icine, it has long since been decided
that for curing ailments peculiar to a
disordered stomach. liver or kidneys,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters stands
first, and to prove the wisdom of the
above decision il is only necessary to
point to the thousands of cures it has
made after other remedies failed. 1t

dyspepsia, Indigestion. cos
tiveness, colds. grippe or female ills
Try a bottle, also ask your druggist
for a free copy of Hostetter's Almanac
for 1906. Its instructive reading makes
it well worth having.

THANK MATTHIAS SCHNELL
Medical Staff of ST. Anthony's Hospi-
tai Passes Resolution.

At a meeting of the medical staff of
st. Anrhony's hospital held last even
ing resolution was adopted tender
ing thanks to Matthias Schnell for
his generosity toward the institution
and assuring him of the appreciation
of this liberality.
The last time Mr.. Schnell was here
he delivered to the hospital authorities
the first mortgage, amounting to $10.-
600, which was held by him. The re-
moval of this obligation placed the
finances of the institution in an ex-
cellent condition. and it is for this and
other considerations that the medical
staff now acts.

Kinney Was Not In

ACTS ALWAYS IN PRIVATE
Publicly Conducted Herself Differently
-Townspeople Called in to Tell
of Defendant.

Aledo, Jan. 6.-(SpeciaD.-DT. II. M
Meyer, an assistant at the state hospi-
tai for insane at Kankakee and on in
structor in Rush Medical college. was
on the witness stand in the Mckinney
cruelty case and gave it as his opin-
ion that Mrs. Mckinney was not in
sane at the time she performed these
acts. He was called by the state in
rebuttal.
He dwelt upon the difference be-
tween insanity and sexual perversion
and said that the fact that Mrs. Nc
Kinney conducted herself in her usual
manner publicly and her offenses were
in private with Stella Grady as her
victim was evidence to him that she
was simply a pervert. He said that
perverts who are insane conduct them
selves the same in public as in pri-
vate.
Similar Testimony.
Dr. James Kiernan of Chicago, who
is notable not only for his study in this
line, but who has added prominence in
the fact that he was called to attend
ITeSlueHl WHSll lie WAS SIIOl,
was also on the stand. He has made
a specially of this class of patients and
his testimony was similar to that of
DR.. Meyer.
During the greater part of yesterday
afternoon and all of today the towns
people have been called 10 testify as
to the conduct of Mrs. Mckinney pre-
vious to the exposure of the facts with
reference to Stella Grady. Witness af
ter witness has been called to the
stand and has testified that there was
no noticeable change in Mrs. McKin-
ney until she became a subject of pub
lie gossip and was in danger of indict-
ment.
DIR. Sanger Brown Will probably
come back from Chicago TO testify up
on the recall of the states attorney.
Arguments were heard on the question
yesterday. He will first be subpoe-
naed and if he fails to respond to that
a writ will probably be issued COM

HARD TO BELIEVE
rhe fanciful Tale of the $40,
-. ooo,o 900 Merger of Local
Utilities.
PEOPLE DIsAPPR0vE OF 1T
While the Idea Is Generally Ridiculed
and is Denied BY kobusch
Himself.

The substance reproduced in The Ar
gus of yesterday, OF the story
published in a Davenport paper of the
evening before, of the prospective
merging of the control of public utili-
ties in the three cities in a $1O.OOOOO0
concern dominated by St. Louis and
eastern capital Occasioned many eX-
pressions of surprise and disapproval
in Rock Island. That the carrying in
to effect of a scheme of this kind would
prove generally unpopular, even TO the
to resist, is apparent from the views
advanced on every hand.
A representative business man voic-
ed the concensus of opinion this morn
ing when he said such a move would
be both untimely and unpopular on
the part either of the promoters or the
holders of securities in local quasi
public corporations. The merger idea
does not stand high in the public mind
at the present time. Nobody except
he grasping spectators who care
nothing for the public, believe in merg-
ers or can see good in them. For local
corporations, now standing well with
he public. TO go into such a deal.
would turn the tide of popular senti-
ment and array it against them.
Considers La Absurd.
However, the proposition seems alb
surd on the face of it, That 100000
900 idea cannot fail to strike the busi-
ness man familiar with local condi-
ions as ridiculous. The representa-
ives of both the Tri-City Railway COM
pany and the Peoples Power company
express it about right when they term
{ fairty-like.
'And, beyond all this, the money
market is not in such condition now,
Tor is the prospect likely to warrant
he gaining of easy control of so large
1 sum of money to float scheme of
his nature
The contemporary on the Davenport
side of the river, of the paper publish
ed in that city, which sprung the
sensation, treats it in its issue of yes
terday as huge joke, and even goes
IN to inquire: But while in the busi-
ness of joking, why not have included
The waterworks, the glucose works, the
ferry company, the Carnival City Pack
ct company, the Stock Food company.
)ur numerous washing machine com
.oanies, the Central park kennels, and
the newspapers in the contemplated
purchase? When joking. why not go
he limit?"
KObusch Even Thinks Ii Fairy-Like.
George ]. Kobusch, president of the
st. Louis Car company, represented in
he story originally printed in Daven-
port as the man who had brought the
gigantic deal to a successful conclu-
sion, was interviewed by long-dstance
telephone yesterday.
Told of the statements printed, Mr..
KobuSch said:
THE story is premature and incor-
rect from beginning to end There is
nothing to it. 1t was evidently given
out by the Walsh interests there. for
what purpose l cannot imagine. but ii
is fairy-tale, and nothing more"
