FLAGLER COMING Chief of Ordnance to Arrive at Rock Island Arsenal Tonight. A SALUTE DT HIS HOBOE. Much Importance May Be Attached to His VUIt Which Is the Klmt lie Hit Made Away From Washington Since the War Always Interested In the Institution Here. Gen. D. W. Flagler, chief of ord nance, U.

At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning a salute of 11 guns will be tired at the arsenal in Gen. Flagler's honor. The present is the first trip Gen. Flagler has made awav from Wash ington since the war, during the ex istence of which he was one of the busiest men in the departments at Washington, and le it said to his credit his administration was such that it escaped the criticism that has been the result of the mismanagement of many of the other divisions of the war department. significance o( nl, yKit. The fact that Gen. Flagler has seixed the first opportunity since the close of the war to pay a visit to the arsenal may attach unusual sig nificance to his coming. The war proved the test of the arsenal and it is doubtful if the result proved a source of greater pride to any official at Washington than it did to the former commandant, who has ever felt a deep interest in the institution. It is notknown as yet how long Gen. Flakier will remain at the arsenal. CITY BED AT THE HOSPITAL. The J. B. C. Society Plans To Provide One. The B. B.

Death Roll of the Sixth Regiment Since the War Opened. Thongh the 6th Illinois volunteers took as conspicuous a part in the late war as any regiment that entered the service, it "participated in no general engagement, yet it has lost from its ranks many bright and apparently strong and healthy young men. The roll of dead now shows 21 names, and almost all of the companies have had occasion to mourn the loss of least one member. Company A, of Rock Island, has had two of its'rnenibers taken. Chaplain Ferris, in looking over matters with a Monmouth Review reporter said he had officiated at the burial of six of the regiment's boys. Three of them were buried in Qorto Rico while in the thickest of the campaign. They "were laid away under the protecting folds of the "flag for which they fought, and it was a sad experience, this leaving them so far away from home and friends. He also officiated at the funeral of a regular army man while on the island. Since coming home Chaplain Ferris has twice leen called to Monmouth, once to burv Lee Over- felt, and now for Corporal Cornell Last week he buried Private McKay, of Company G, who died at his home near Gafesburg. The chaplain says it is always a sad dutv, but he is glad he is in reach and can do what he can to cheer up the friends and comrades in these hours of sorrow. TOWN TALK. M.

Miss Nancy Edwards, a giggling simpleton, unable to tell her age or even the county she lived in, while seated on the witness stand pointed at an elderly sunken cheeked man Samuel Edwards, her father and declared he was respon sible for her becoming a mother. She said the child was dead. Edwards is a widower and at the time of his ar rest last August was engaged in fish ing in the lower end of the county, and making his abode in a shanty boat. His daughter is now an inmate of the county infirmary. Edwards stoutly denies his guilt. He is de fended bv Maj. J. M. Beardsley and J. W. Quillan, and State's Attorney Searle prosecutes. The jury in the case of Jesse Smith (colored) returned a verdict of guilty of plain assault last night.
