INClTINGTHE CROWD

Yesterday Harry NJ. McCaskrin
sent to The Argus a communication
denying that he had given utterance
to the statement in his Market square
speech Monday night that the peo-
pie who heard him had 1t in them to
overpower the police to gain copies
of the Looney publication at the Of
fee OF the sheet, but he accompanied
the denial with a reference to the
situation OF such a rash and infiam-
matory nature that The Argus, on
the advice of the military authori-
ties in control of the situation in
Rock Island. declined to publish it.
At the same time, however, Mr..
McCaskrin was informed by The
Argus that any calm statement, free
from personalities, he desired TO
make in his own behalf would be
published by The Argus in the spirit
OF fairness. Notwithstanding that Nc
Caskrin had INDUCED in insulting re-
marks in his Tuesday night speech
with reference to The Argus and

WIDOW OF RIOT
VICTIM MAY DIE

Poor health and hysteria of a pro-
nounced type, resultant from the death
of her husband. Frank H. Kellogg in
Rock Islands bloody riot of Tuesday
night, in which he was an innocent
spectator, has placed Mrs. Emelia Kel-
logg, near deaths door. Her condition
is pronounced serious and grave doubts
are entertained that she will survive
the shock of her husbands tragic end.
Today Mrs. Kellogg was in weak
ened condition due to the strain of
the last two days since her husband
was brought home dead with a bullet
in his heart. She had been in poor
health for the past several months and
the terrible tragedy which has wrecked
her home has proven more than she
can bear up under. The womans con-
dition was such yesterday that physi-
clan was called TO administer to her
and she is now under close observation
for fear that her mind will give way uE-
der the stress.
Rumors we're about town today that
she had gone violently insane but
these proved to be ungrounded. Her
condition, however, is critical and ev-
erything possible is being done to ale
viate her mental anguish and to pre-
vent, if possible, the loss of her minG.

NO TRUTH AS TO
RIOTERS COMING

There is absolutely no foundation
for the rumor that 100 Muscatine dyna-
miters left that city to come to Rock
Island yesterday, or that any one else
has come to Rock Island with the in
tention of aiding the rioters in work
ing against law and order" stated
Sheriff o. L. Bruner this morning.
you can say for me that should such
a thing come to pass, and We hardly
expect that it will, We shall be entire
ly able to cope with the situation"
The report that the men who have
kept Muscatine in a state of turmoil
for the last six months left there yes
terday in mob of 100 was found. to
be erroneous yesterday. For the most
part, the thugs who were in Rock Is
land early in the week, have seen fit
to leave.

and people are pursuing their various
avocations as if nothing had happened.

LEAVES HER FORTUNE. l;
 TO AID BANKRUP,TS
RUSSIAN WIDOW WILLS $1,125,0 ,0OO TO SUPPORT THEM AND THEIR
 DESTITUTE DAUGHTERS.

Berlin, May N-One of the most re- markable bequests on record has just been made The deceased, the widow of a wealthy St. Petersburg jeweler, has left a fortune of $1, ,125, GOO to be devoted to the amelioration and sup port of bankrupt business men and their destitute daughters. Half the sum is to be spent in erecting a sani- tarium for bankrupts.
 The testatrix sets forth in her will that men who have failed in business usually emerge from their troubles with temporarily or permanently shat tered nervous systems. The sanitar- ium would serve as a convalescent home for such victims of tour cruel competitive age.'' s The rest of the estate is distributed in annuities to daughters of bank rupts with a view to enabling them to educate themselves for self-suport- ing occupations.
 The widows relatives have given notice contesting her novel testament, alleging that it was made when the testatrix was suffering from mental alteration.

~ 7 sandwiches it pays to buy special pans, so there is no waste in cut ting. Crusts are removed after the sandwiches are made and the bread is then cut in triangles, oblongs. or circles For the last. round cutters are used For holiday occasions sand wiches are cut in stars, <crescents. hearts and for children, in animal shapes.
 Butter must be soft, not melted. This expedites spreading and does not break the thin bread. Be careful ln spreading that the bread is buttered on the opposite side of alternate slices, or they will not fit.
 Butter both slices of bread, put the filling on one slice only Press on the top slice. and cut the crusts with 8 sharp knife Put neatly on platter and cover until ready to use with damp napkin. This keeps the bread from drying out. The sandwiches can thus be prepared hours before needed-Kansas City Star.

CREPE DE CHINE LINGERIE.

Each year the return of Summer brings us something new in the way of undergarments, this years innova- tion is to be crepe de chine and there is no doubt that it will be exceedingly cool and comfortable. We will find all our old favorites developed in this material combinations, Princess slips and nightgowns, and they. will all be glorified Pink is the faVorite color, though garments are found in all the borate affairs and likewise the more expensive are decorated with flowers, rosettes and wreaths made of chif- ion and ribbon.
 The more simple and practical gar ments are lace trimmed, cluny being the favorite as it is on the fine un-- dermuslins, though Irish edging and ribbon are popular decorations. These garments are not SO expensive as they would appear on first thought, a very attractive combination lace trimmed can be purchased for $475 garments cost $6.75 and more.
 Another novelty in the undergar- ment line is the nightgownl with cap to match. The caps are dainty it- tie affairs carrying out the idea or decoration employed in the gown, and they are so extremely pretty that they can be made to do duty in the bou- doir if desired.
 The fact that the ultra fashionables are wearing very few undermuslins keeps the designers busy inventing attractive and beautiful garments, and they have undoubtedly succeeded this season. The lace banded petticoat is one of the innovations, the wide band of heavy lace is arranged few inch- es from the bottom edge of the skirt. and is finished off with a narrow plating, which supplies the require ments of dust ruffle and prevents the edge of the lace from becoming soiled and torn.-New Orleans Picay- une
