Steel Particles in Eye.-Word has
been received Of a peculiar and dis
tressing accident which befell DR.. w.
C. Sensibaugh in Chicago, recently.
walking along the street he felt some
thing enter one of his eyes. At home
that evening the eye troubled him con-
siderably, and the next morning it was
badly swollen and inflamed. A special
list having been called, Dr. Sensibaugh
was sent Immediately to a hospital,
where three minute pieces of steel

feared at first that he might lose his
sight partially, but this danger seems
now obviated.
Ross to Build Notwithstanding to
present plans, George w. Ross will
erect house in East Moline next
summer and become a regular resi-
dent of the city. He will take up his
duties as manager of the East Moline
Land company about April /, and
shortly thereafter he will begin build
ing a residence, probably on Thir-
teenth street bluff 1t is probable that
George H. Owen will also build a res
idence in the same neighborhood, and
will bring his family here to live. This
| Thirteenth street hill promises to be
one of the most desirable residence
spots in East Moline.
Do Away With Fees.-At a meeting
of the East Moline volunteer fire de-
partment it was voted to do away with
all dues. 1t had been originally plan
ned that the members should pay
| into the association 25 cents a month
There was considerable sentiment
against this plan from the outset, and
| it was deemed wisest to do away with
| the fee. Three new members were
elected. They are Albert Custer, C..
Daniels and Tony Grumber. Final ar
engagements were made for the first
annual ball which takes place Satur
day night at Northwestern hall and
which promises to be great success

was the birthday anniversary of both
bride and groom, the groom being one
year older than the bride. The couple
were attended by the sister and broth
er of the bride, Miss Lois and Joseph
Sullivan. Owing to the recent death
of the brides sister, the affair was
made a very quiet one. The bride
wore a travelling suit of blue cloth with
lace waist and hat to match. The
couple departed today for Van Horn,
ILL.,. where the groom is a prosperous
business man and where he has fur
nished a home for his bride.
