MAN WHO FOUGHT
WITH SOUTH DEAD
dent of This Vicinity Since Days
of the Civil War.
BROUGHT HERE AS A PRISONER
Operated a Farm in Black Hawk and
for Many Years After Lived i'm
South Rock Island.

Andrew Weinberger, a prisoner
from the confederate army who
settled in Rock Island after being re
leased from the union military prison
On Rock Island arsenal, died last night.
Death came to him at his home,
Seventeenth and Brashar streets, fol-
lowing an illness resulting from his
advanced years. He was rs years of
age.
A native of Germany, Mr.. Weinber-
ger was born Sept. II, 1910. He came
to the United States in 1854 and settled
in the south. At the outbreak of the
Civil war he enlisted in the cOnfed-
crate army and was captured in one of
the early battles. He was sent to the
military prison at the arsenal island,
where he was held for three months.
Then he was released.
Instead of journeying back to the
southland, whose colors he had de
Tended, he remained in Rock Island
for a year. He and Miss Margaret
Meysar were married in 1864 and then
they removed to Black Hawk town
ship, where for rs years they lived on
a farm. They then removed to South
Rock Island in which township Mr..
Weinberger had since resided. In 1914.
the 50th wedding anniversary of the
couple was observed.
Mr.. Weinberger is survived by the
widow and 10 children. 20 grandchil-
dren and nine great grandchildren
The children are Conrad. Andrew. and

rs THROWN
DOWN BY THE DRYS?

Friends of Representative Walter
H. Provine Of Taylorville, who spoke
at the Rock Island chautauqua last
week, are highly indignant over the
action of the Illinois Anti-Saloon
league in endorsing the candidacy of
George H. Wilson of Quincy for the
republican nomination for attorney
general.
Endorsement of Wilson is contained
in letters sent out under date of July
25, signed by State Superintendent
Scott Mcbride. Friends of PrOvine
have strenuously objected to the
leagues action, and the controversy,
it is stated, threatens to split the
league.
Both Wilson and Provine have been
recognized as dry" leaders in the
Illinois general assembly

A proprietary medicine Ike every
