ISOLATION.

Plans for the proposed booster trip
by the merchants OF the city along
the route of the Rock Island Southern
will likely be perfected at the meet
ing of the Rock Island Business Mems
association at Maths hall next Mon
day night. A preliminary canvass
among the business houses by Secre-
tary Charles Goff shows that the
move is a popular one. Every mer-
chant thus far called upon has prom
ised TO be represented on the excur-
sion. II is expected that the trip will
be made the latter part of the pres
ent month. II is proposed TO stop
at all towns on the line. At Monmouth
the boosters will have dinner at the
Colonial hotel, the arrangements for
this part of the program to be left in
the hands of the officials of the
Southern. The round trip fare will
include the dinner and all other items
of expense. The Southern has agreed
TO run a special train to carry the
boosters. The Rock Island Business
Mems association, under whose ans
pices the trip will be taken, will pro

AN OCEAN FATALITY
SEPARATES COUPLE
Davenport Women, Following Death
of Child, Refuses to Re-
cross Sea.

Because of an accident which prov
ed fatal 10 her three year old son,
while she with her two children. was
crossing the ocean to visit in her ma
tive land, Mrs. c. W. Hanpelmann,
wife of the janitor of Taylor school in
Davenport, has written her husband
that she viii never take another sea
voyage. A few months ago, Mrs. Han
pelmann underwent an operation
which greatly taxed her strength. In
order to recupeTate, she started for
Germany to visit her parents. While
on board the steamer, Breslau, her
son fell down the cabin stairs and his
injuries resulted fatally within a few
hours after the accident He was
buried at sea. Immediately upon her
arrival in Europe, Mrs. Hanpelmann
dispatched a letter to her husband
stating that the accident had so i'm
pressed her that she would never
again cross the ocean. AS a result,
Mr.. Hanpelmann is in a quandary, for
he will probably have to give up his
home in this county and join his wife
in Germany

AGREE ADJOURN
Both Houses of Illinois Legls
lature Accept May 8 as
the Date.
MUCH WORK IN THE HOUSE
System of Reporting Out All Bills
Is SIow-Vote Buying Bill
Passes Senate.

Springfield. III, May 14.-Spring IS
here and the thoughts Of the leglsla-
tors have lightly turned to thoughts OF
sine die adjournment
The house steering committee met
yesterday and agreed upon May as
the day for winding up legislative bus
mess and bringing the session TO a
close. To that end Speaker Adkins
was instructed to crowd the calendar
ahead under full steam and TO map out
his program with a view to three
weeks more work at the outside.
SENATE WORKS FAST.
The senate is wadiRg through its la
bors with celebrity. but the house calen-
dar is loaded to its gunwales through
the operation Of the new idea that bills
should be reported out to the floor in
stead of being hit on the head in com
mittee. So far few of the important
measures. outside Of the wet" and
dry" bills, have been put to vote in
the house.
The assembly took a holiday last
night until next Wednesday on account
of Good Friday and the down-state cleo
lions next Tuesday, and when they
come back the grind viii start with the
throttle open.
SENATE PASSES BRIBERY BILL.
Springfield H.. April 14.-Echoes of
the vote market scandals at Danville
sounded in the senate chamber yester-
day when the Cornwen bill taking
bribe givers out of the immunity zone
was passed by a vote of IS to 0.
The bill is an amendment TO the ma
jor primary act, and it removes the
peculiar feature by which the act pro
vides for the punishment of bribe TAX
ers and vote sellers, but allows the
givers of the bribeto go scot free. This
legislative oddity is part of the gen
eral election law. 1t crept into the
primary act for the reason that the
corrupt practices act features of the
election law were incorporated YER
batim into the direct primary statute.
PENALTIES HEAVY.
The Cornwen bill provides that ANY
candidate or other person paying, fur
or promising to pay or furnish
any such person with money, intoxi-
eating liquor or other thing of value or
the promise thereOf,' eltner 10 lnf1u-
ence his vote or the vote of some one
else, shall be deemed guilty of bribery
in primaries. Upon conviction he shall
be sentenced to disfranchisement for
a term of to Is years and to the coun-
ty Jail for a term of three months to
one year and to pay the costs of prose
cutiOn and to stand committed to the
county Jail until such costs are paid.
ENDS LOCAL OPTION FIGHT.
Yesterdays action of the house on
local option probably ended all efforts
TO enact Legislation on this subject at
this session. Among those voting for
county option were Representatives
Campbell and Abbey of the Thirty-third
district, Representative Wheelan from
the same district voting against

The family with young children that IS

instances, as any doctor knows, the child
suffers from some intestinal trouble.
