Repeatedly the question is asked
Why Rock Island does not secure more

might be stated that the men who are
directing the expenditure of the de-
yelopment fund have not been inactive
in this direction. They have worked
diligently, and have lost industrial en-
erprises seeking new locations wholly
because they could not guarantee COM

Welded at Capital.
Miss Penquite, accompanied by
Mr.. Mulcahy. came to Des Moines
yesterday, secured license and in
the late afternoon, through the kind
ly ministrations of Father Flavin, be-
came husband and wife. Last night
they spent at the Slavery and this
morning left the city, presumably to
make peace in the Penquite family.
The beautiful trousseau which loving
fingers had fashioned all through the
long summer days for the future Mrs.
Dietz will serve equally as we'll for
the present Mrs. Mulcahy.
1.-The bride has many friends in
this city, where she has been nAlch
admired for her beauty. She has
always been a constant visitor in Des
Moines, coming here frequently to
attend the Hyperion club dances and
other affairs of like nature.
Football Romance.
Some seven years ago she attend
ed Drake university, studying voice
under Dean Howard. 1t was then
that she met Godlove Dietz, grad
uate of the Northwestern Law school.
He was coach at Drake, big blonde,
handsome fellow. who was known
among the students as 'Deedy. He
was devoted TO the pretty little maid
from Colfax. Then he went to Okla
hOma and they drifted apart. When
he returned and settled down to prac-
tice the profession OF law in Moline.
his old affection for Miss PenqUite.
which had been merely slumbering,
was quickened 10 life. In the early
summer the Capital was privileged
to announce their engagement and
the wedding day was set.
For two years Mr.. Mulcahy had
been connected with the DR.. Weston
drug store at ColfaX He, like many
others. had a tender spot in his heart
for Miss Penquite. 1t is said that,
realizing she would soon be beyond
his reach. he devoted himself to her
the past summer. Her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Al A. Penquite, prominent
citizens of ColfaX, rather objected to
the young mans attention since their
Breaks News to Father.
Mr.. Mulcahy, like Mr.. DietZ, is a
large man. Instead Of being a blonde
he has kinky red hair and the tenn
peramental characteristics which ac-
company it as a rule. As the original
wedding day drew near Miss Penquite
grew more and more dissatisfied. but
being of a reserved nature, she con
fided her doubts to no one. She sim
ply went to Mason City and telephon-
ed to her father that she would not
marry Mr.. DietZ. 1t was easier to
phone than to tell her decision face
to face. Whether she preferred
pharmacist to a lawyer, Colfax to Mo-
inc, red hair to blonde hair or what,
she has not trusted her real reasons
to anyone, not even her most init
mate friend, who is as surprised as
Ill others over the turn in events"
Mr. Dietz Refuses tn Talk.
Mr.. Dietz. when seen by a reporter
at his Office in Moline today, declined
20 discuss the affair. out OF respect for
the young lady. His friends explain
however, that the engagement was
broken in September

A NEW CHAMPION.

Woman suffrage has new cham
pion; In the current number Of The
Ladies' World there appears an ex-
tended article from the pen Of Justice
Brewer OF the United states supreme
court. supporting the equai-suffrage
claims. Justice Brewer discusses the
question at length. reviewing the his
tory or woman's participation in
politics in the states where II has
been a matter OF years. He predict.
the ultimate triumph of the campaign
OF the suffragists as follows:
"And now. what Of the future.
Female suffrage will come. Not fully
at once. but by varying steps. wom-
ans broader education. her increasing
familiarity with business and public
affairs. will lead to II. And why nn
The chief reply is the home. G'
forbid that II should be jeopardizea
for upon it in all its fulness DEEPEN,
the best social life. In fact. 1t Is Il
basis upon which growing humanity
depends. And in il woman muA ever
be the great factor. the unchalienGed
queen. But female suffrage will not
debase the home or lessen its power
and influence. On the other hand. II
will introduce refining and uplifting
power into our political life. II will
not stop marriage. neither will a
higher education"
The closing words of the Brewer
article are less judicial In their tone
than the main argument: the last
paragraphs are:
..Union in effort is the growing les
son OF the times. Our first parents
guilty of mutual sin, were. accord
ing to the allegory in Genesis. driven
out OF Eden. that garden which gave
man all things to live aith and roth

closes his immortal poem with these
words:
The world was all before them. where
