Severe Chastisement for TrifIe.-
Driven to desperation through brags
of his fellow countrymen of privi-
leges with his wife, Theophil Segheis
stabbed her with a fork, loosened her
teeth and Dlackened both her eyes as
we'll as severely bruising her when
she spoke of leaving him, Segheis, a
moulder employed by Deere & Co., was
arraigned before Police Magistrate
Gustafson charged with assault and
battery by mis- wife, Resulda Segheis.
At the trial he told in broken English
of the brags of fellow workmen and
other occurrences that had provoked

$4,000 for New Buildings.-Tenta-
tive plans for the Moline Pump COM
pany's proposed new plant at Ottum-
wa, Iowa, to which city the local con-
Germ has decided to transfer its oper-
atoms, call for an expenditure of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in the erec-
ton of group of buildings on the six
acre site that has already been Sc
cured. According to George w. Kill
linger, manager of the Pump company,
who has returned from Ottumwa,
where he closed negotiations with the
Ottumwa Commercial association, the
site secured for the proposed new
plant is valued at $4,000, and is one
= g.. g. kI,r,&
the state of Iowa can offer. Six feet
above the Des Moines river high-water
mark and adjacent to excellent ship
ping facilities, the site is all that can
be desired.
May Start Trains From Here.-Agi-
tation looking to the starting from
Moline OF all trains operating over the
Rock Island and Peoria branch line
may result in effort being put forth in
the near future by some of the organ
izations of this city to gain this de-
sired concession from the Rock Island
Railway company, 1t is matter that
may be called to the attention of the
civic commission of the Moline club
before long, belief being that that
body of workers for Molipe's civic ad.
vance would not fail in the task. Many
from Moline have occasion to travel
over this branch line, and for those
who find it necessary to take the
morning train the street car trip to
one of the two Rock Island depots in
Rock Island is inconvenient at least.
N rs
ley, an old resident of Rock Island,
died at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
H. A Johnson, GLIB Twenty-third street,
Moline, at Q o'clock Wednesday even
ing, death being due to paralysis,
Nearly week ago Mr.. Hartley, while
walking in his sleep, had a slight fall
and it is thought that this was indi-
rectly the cause of the paralysis. The
remains were taken to Peoria at 8
O'Clock this morning for interment.
Rev. Hugh Jack, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of that place, will con-
duct a short service at the grave. Mr..
Hartley was born at Carlisle, Scot

manhood and married. In 1870, or
Ithereabout, he and his wife came to
America, During their life spent here
they have resided in Pittsburg, Column
bus, Cleveland and other large cities of
the east, A little less than 80 years
ago they located in Rock Island, where
Mr.. Hartley held a responsible posi-
ton In the offices of the Rock Island
road. At the end of rs years of faith
