ARE FOUND DEAD

Give Indication of Sui
eide Pact.

Dubuque, Iowa, March so. - The
bodies of two young st. Catherine
residents were found in a vacant
field early this morning with bullet
holes in their heads. The bodies
were identified as Miss Veronica
Manders, Is years, and her cousin,
Erich Manders, 20 years.
The young persons were last seen
on Wednesday morning. With a
sister OF Erich, Veronica had at
tended church and the girls walked
toward home together. Veronica
left to take short cut to her home
a mile distant. Shortly after noon
the body of Veronica was found.
1t was thought that the girl had
to hemorrhage until the
coroner, in preparing the body for
buEial, found bullet wound in the
back of her head.
Meanwhile it was discovered that
Erich was missing and a search was
begun which today resulted in the
finding of his body in a field not far
from where the girls body was
found.
According to relatives there was,
insofar as known, no love affair be-
tween the cousins. The families of
each of the cousins are pominent in
his vicinity.

the entire town an opportunity to
hear william Whiteside. Moline,
president of the Rock Island County
Good Roads association, speak on
the coming vote on the $1,00O,0OO
bond issue for the improvement Of
county roads.
The meeting, which was under
the auspices of the Port Byron
chamber of commerce, was well at
tended and the sentiment seemed
to be entirely in favor of the>bond
issue.
The Chamber of Commerce has
issued 500 invitations to the meet
ing, but bad roads kept a number
of those living in the country away.
At the bottom of the invitation
were these questions:
why pay taxes for bad roads?
why not pay taxes for good
roads?"

Offer Forecast as Finances
Push College.

Renewal of the recent offer OF the
Rock Island Chamber of Com
merce to Hedding college, Abing-
don, for the removal of the institu-
ton to this community is a posi-
bility as result OF the Abingdon
Chamber OF Commerce failing to
make good its promise to put the
college on a sound financial foot
ing.
A committee of the colleges
board of trustees. meeting yesterday
with Bishop Thomas Nicholson OF
Chicago, delivered an ultimatum to
the Abingdon commerce body today
that SIS 900 pledged for current ne
eessities must be raised by next
Wednesday.
DIR. John It. Jones, superintend-
ent of the Rock Island district, who
led the movement favoring Rock
Island as a location for the college,
was also in attendance.
Abingdon, it is said, has taken
no steps to raise a 100000 endow-
ment fund for the college. or to
raise SIS 900 fund to meet cur
rent indebtedness. Rev. M. l..
O'Hara, who presided at the ses-
sion of the college trustees, deliV-
cred the ultimatum to the Abing-
don chamber, stating that in the
event OF the city's refusal to per-
form its promises, the college may
be amalgamated with Illinois Wes-
Ieyan college, Bloomington.
Abingdon Fails.
It is stated that all that Abing-
don through its Chamber of Com

has been to secure an extension OF
some notes due in bank.
James F. Witter, chairman of
the Rock Island Chamber of Com
merce committee which made the
offer for the removal of Hedding
college, said today that he could
not speak for the rest of the mem
hers OF his committee. but that IL
Abingdon failed to make good its
pledge, the matter of renewing the

Hackleburg, December 81.--(Spe- ing towns of Marion county and one of the youngest towns of its size In this section of the state.
 In the year of 1907 the Illinois Cen- tral Railway company, seeing the great advantages of development of this section, completed a railroad be- tween Haleyviile and Corinth, Miss. running through Marion county on the north part and passing near the old postoffice called Hackleburg which at that time consisted of a postoffice and one small store. The depot site was selected in an old field belonging to S. A. Walker at a point about one quarter of a mile from the old postoffice. One lone dwelling house in what is now Hackleburg proper was in existence in the year of Hadkleburg's birth day, the town being built up entire ly new since 1907. A destructive fire a few years ago almost destroyed the business section of the town; but the citizenship rather than be discour- aged used the temporary hardship as stepping stone to greater construc- tive upbuilding of the town.
 Today there is little more than block of Sup-to-date brick build- ings in the business section. con sisting of the Hackleburg Bank building. the Peoples Supply company, the Hackleburg Mercantile company, A. H. Powell company, J. H. Con- way & Sons. Garst Brothers, Hackle- burg postoffice. W. L. Gam Grocery company. c. w. Clements cafe, and a large warehouse
 Hackleburg has an up-to-date hotel. two excellent drug stores, the Hackleburg Drug company under the management of, Henry w. Clay one of the earliest business men of this towns history. and the Wilson & Frederick Drug company. The Luns- ford Hardware company is one of the leading hardware concerns of this section, doing distinctive and ex- tensive business of It's sort.
 Location Is Ideal
 The growth of the town has been possible to a great extent by the ideal location. Located on the Illinois Central railroad. which gives the town direct and continuous passen- ger and express connection with Chi cago on the north and Jacksonville, Fla. on the south, and with equally a has been especially favored. The Seminole Limited between Jackson vile and Chicago passes through the town twice daily. The Doodle Bug" passenger between Haleyville and Corinth, also passes through the town twice daily The Jackson highway passes directly through the town. af- fording opportunities of hundreds of tourists passing this way annually.
 The principal source of wealth is agriculture. Hacklebung Is in a most favored farming section. The broad fertile acres of upland produce well of cotton, corn. peanuts. potatoes. strawberries. and all sort of truck. For years before the boil weevil in. vaded Alabama, the Hackleburg sec tion was possibly second to none in it's production of the white staple. Two gins in Hackleburg, although being competed with by gins on every side. have been known to gin about 5000 bales of cotton in one season, but with the coming of the boil wee
