The rate from Rock Island to Kansas City, St. Joe, Atchison and Leaven worth in the southwest was 55 cents first class, and 4 82 and 25 cents second, third and fourth classes.

Mrs. Marie Vandervennet, residing at 1846 Tenth street, Moline, was most brutally assaulted by Leopold De Pausemakcr last night. Mrs. Vandervcnnet's husband is an em ploye of Dimock, Gould & Co'3 mills, and works nights. Last night he went to work as usual, and it was sometime between 10 and 12 o'clock that the brutal assault was made. At the latter hour one of Mrs. Van dervennefs neighbors heard groans in the yard, and running over found the woman lying in the yard under a window with a rope twisted thrice around her neck and five bad gashes in her head, one in the forehead, one on the top and three on the back of the head. The police were notified at once, and the victim taken to the station, when Dr. Morgan was summoned and dressed the injuries. When her husband arrived. Mrs. Vandervennet told him that De Pausemaker had assaulted her with a flat iron, and had then tied the rope around her neck. De Pausemakcr was afterward arrested and given a preliminary hearing this morning, and bound over to the circuit court in 1533 bands. The Cum of the Aiman't, It is thought that De Pausemaker became enamored ot the woman, and that this was the cause of the deadly assault. Dr. Morgan, the at tending physician, has hojH's of her recovery, providing inflammation does not set in. RECITAL AND CONCERT. The Musical Event at the Mllnn IVetbjter lan CLorrh. Milan, May 12.

Chief Brahm's report, after de scribing the force of the department and the apparatus, makes some val uable suggestions, among which is one regarding the alarm system and the disposal of the gray team, now driven on the hook and ladder truck, which is not up to the standard for efficient service. The department responded to 19 box alarms, 17 telephone alarms and 4 f-till alarms, making a total of 4) alarms, an increase of 8 over the pre ceding year. Of the number 5 were unnecessary, 3 being false alarms and 2 chimney lires. The total amount of losses by lire in Kock Island the past year was fH.HO on which there was insurance amounting to $78,917.

The total amount of expenditures for the lire department was $9,819.58 and the receipts f 23.98. The chief also suggests a clothing allowance of $5 a month for liremen. The Mew Uoie Wagons. F. Arthur Frees, of Chicago, rep resenting the firm which built Kock Island's new hose wagons, is in the city, and the wagons are on the C, B. or Q. railroad . somewhere between Chicago and Kock Island and are ex pected' by every train. Since re ceiving the contract from the Kock Island council the Frees firm has un dergone many reverses by death and depression, and it was April 28 last when Mr. rrees, who is the new pro prietor, got things ready to go ahead. Since that time the Kock Island wag ons have been built, and they are beauties. They are numbered 2 and 3, arc paiuted dark blue with light Vermillion and natural wood finish, with antique oak ornaments, and gold stripes. They carry 1,600 feet of hose each, and each one has 30 foot extension ladder and one 14 foot single ladder. Kach is equipped with two chemical lire extinguishers, fire axes. etc. tyorld'a Columbian Eapoaltlon .
