Swede Ann'e" removed a lock from a door at the ooanty calaboose daring the still hours of last night ana euenuy stole away. sue ia atill at large. ' Swede An nie." whose correct name is Annie Wolfson, ha been a prisoner at the liil since July 9. when she was bound over by Police Magistrate -aanora to answer to tne grand jury for larceny, her bail beiog fixed at 160. This she could not furnish. " The Wolfson woman, to judge from her appearance, has been on tbe shady side or 40 lor many moons. She is tall and slender. She has been a character about Rock Inland fur year. aDd her name adorns tbe pages of a number of 'be criminal records of the police cou t. Her last offense was in beating a board bill and stealing money from the house hold where che had been sheltered during illiiss. When sent to the county jil she was treated as all other prisoners and aligned to a cell, bie complained oi being ill and her looks bore her out Sheriff Hemenway did not fel disposed to be too severe with tbe woman, he says, so he assigned hr to the old jury room at the northeast corner of the second 11 tor. II w saa Work dl'. Swede Annie" seemed to be grow ing worse physically, and thst she would even attempt to gain her lib erty was farthest from the minds of the guardians of the j til. Site was given unusually good food for a prisoner, the sheriff says, and treated well, in the hope that she would be able to appear for trial in the county court tor it was planted to take her there soon and hive her plead guilty, and get her cut of the county's charge. A wooden door and an ordinary lock stood between Swede Annie" and liberty. Last night she went to work. A table knife, which she hal held out after a recent meal, was need to loosen the screws which held tbe lock to tbe door. Removing tbe", she laid the 1 ck nn the fl or, opet.cd the door and new.

He knew something was wrong, lie looked for the woman prisoner, but she was not present. After leaving the room, Swede Annie" had no trouble in leaving tbe building a9 the entrance at the east is not kept closed.

In relation to the proposed reeer- voir, mayor jueoin stated that George D. Baker, of Davenport, had gone over the ground and made sketch from the ideas arrived at by the committee on its recent iosneo- tion tour. He furnished some valua ble data, but informed the mayor that he had not the time in nmHnanr the project, should he be called npon A. -J IT 1 . . .

South Rock Island. be said., would like the city to as some half the expense of the im provement. Aid. Maucker said the city is rapidly growing south, and in his opinion it behooved the connii to act at once in the premises. The matter was referred to the engineer and street and allev committee tn report the estimated cost of the city's portion at the next regular meeting. An ordinance read hr the n.tv clerk contained some unexpected in formation. It was f torn the attorney of tbe First National bank of Chi cago, and stated that tbat institution had decided nnt tn innlnd K eon . 000 floating indebtedness in its deal with tbe municipality, and wonld only tale the $170,000 refunding bonds. .

A Fulton dispatch to today's Chi cago Tribune says: "Citizens are all quietly preparing for war, which they thina may come at any mo ment. Mayor Schwab last night called for volunteers and over one hundred and fifty men responded. They were sworn aa special police men and armed with shotgnns. Sheriff Fuller was in the city collect ing evidence for the preliminary ex amination of J. G. Johnson, the -attorney, which will be held here next Monday. Maj. C. W. Hawes, head clerk, returned to tbe city this morning. The board of directors is also here and will meet in tbe office this week. William Bennett, city marshal, is improving, while Julius Sterenberg is still in a very critical condition." Wonder if the arms with which the Folton body guard is armed are furnished by the state of Iowa! Regardless of where they came from, however, the Fulton people, while waiting for the next invasion. might practice by dividing their com panies and nring on each other. The Clinton Herald, whose sympa thies are entirely with the Fulton people. Is forced to admit that aft-r their defeat the Rock Islanders made no resistance, and were very peace able and received all the insults Ful ton threw at them, without offering any remonstrance. It seems queer that a master in chancery, an office no higher than a justice of the peace, can give injunctions when the Su perior court dissolves them as fast aa they are issued. This makes the third injunction that McPhatren has given on this question, a ad two have been dissolved by tbe higher court." Tbe Age also of Clinton, has this reliable information: 'It was learned that a socond train did leave Rock Island over the C, B & Q. Friday night and proceeded as far as Denrock, when they were ordered back by the division superintendent. On this train, traveling men, who passed it. say were over 3 JO men. Had it reached Fulton it is safe to say there would have been a riot, the like of whioh has never been known in this neck o' tbe woods." The second train never left R ick Island, but it got all ready to, and was abandoned when it was learned that another injunction had been served. Rock Island people do not defy in junctions, but when tbey hear that the men and arms of another state are holding their fellowtownsmen in cars they are bjund to go to their relief. Had the second expedition left Rock Island it would have been prepared for trouble. The men on the first train were unarm ed, as they went on a peace mission. However, the people hero are waiting to learn what Gov. Tanner proposes to do, both as to tbe pres- cui unitary bdiics oi runon citizens aad as to the bringing of Iowa arms into Illinois last rriday night. Sjppoaed Salelde Fooud.
