Accused of Murder.

QUINCY, ILL.,. April 1s.-That the State
will ask the life penalty against Ray

theory.

have tried to burn 1t in the stove. His
intention was to destroy 1t, SO that

Turkey Is Satisfied.
Turkey several weeks ago signified
her willingness to abide by the proposal

THE MILITIA WAS READY.

1--WE appeal for immediate help.
Send 10000 sacks and two companies
of militia" was the message sent
from Mound City to the governor or
Illinois. The militia was ready and
was sent. The sacks had to be bought
and did not go SO promptly. Here
Is the whole story of readiness OF the
military arm, and especially that OF
the states, for instant service of the
varied kinds it is likely to be called
upon to perform. Everywhere within
the flood area the militia are at work,
guarding lives and property, aiding
in the distribution of relief, risking
their lives in acts of rescue and even
working on the levees and in clean
ing up the disease-breeding refuse
and fiotsam of the flood. Some of this
work is not the duty of the soldier,
but the militiaman is also a citizen
and a man of heart and generous I'M
pulse, and is not inclined to draw the
line of helpfulness at the limits OF
military duty.
We all hope that our Company F
may never be needed in a calamity
in this community, but nevertheless
the boys should be encouraged and
the organization we'll cared for. The
time was never more propitious for
the building of suitable armory
than right now. No finer site could
be wished for than the corner where
on stood the Woodin building de-
vastated by the fire of Friday morn
ing. We doubt not that Mr.. Woodin
would be a liberal subscriber to the
stock of the proposed improvement.

The loss TO the city IN the des-
|truetlon OF these two fine buildings Is
great, both in material way ann IN
the removal of two old land marks
that have long been among the show
places Of the city. The sites are too
good to remain long unoccupied, but
the old structures will long remain
ia the memories of our people, and
especially the old Citizens
The loss falls especially heavily on
the church The congregation will
greatly miss the old associations with
the furnishings and monuments of
the structure, and win be compelled
ito assume the added burden of recon
struction. But such burdens are often
an Incentive to do greater and better
work; and we doubt not that the Con-
gregationalists will be inspired as
Others have been under similar cir.
Not the least Of their losses is the
destruction of the pipe organ, which
was one of the finest in this part of
Iowa. Other churches and the public
in general sympathise with the con.
gregation in its loss, and no doubt
will be ready to help In rebuilding,
should their aid be acceptable.
