The remains of Mylo Lee arrived in Ihe city from the north at G:20 this iiinmin an;l at 2 o'clock the funeral took place from the llroadway I'rcs byleriun church. The services were conducted by Kev.

The hymns rendered were '"One Sweetly Solemn Thought," a solo by Miss Cropper .and "I Would Not Live Alway."

K. Mixter. T. 15. Davis, S. R. Davis and K. V. Denk- I1KII1I1. Trllinte of a Friend. Said a friend of the deceased today, speaking of Mr. Lee as a business man and as a citizen: "The firm of Lee, .ludd & Lee, after wards the Hlack Hawk Mining' com pany, of Colorado, consisted of the late' William L. Lee, the late Dr. F. II. Judd, ami the late Mylo Lee, all of Itock Island. They started the min ing' town of Hlack Hawk, the name being a tribute to their home associ ations. Xot only did they start the first steam stamping mill in the Kocky Mountains, but they hauled the equipment with mule and ox teams from this city, crossing' the river on the ice in March, 1SG0, under great difficulties. 'In some of their mining opera tions in Colorado they were associa ted with the late Ceorge M. Pullman, of Chicago, and the late John II. Langley and the late Dr. Thomas (Salt, of this city. Having disposed of his Colorado mining interests Mr. Lee returneu to Itock Island and bought of his partner, the late Wil liam L. Lee, the property now owned and occupied by the Kock Island Club, where the family resided- for manj- years. "During his long residence in this city Mylo Lee enjoyed a reputation second to none for integrity, high al courage, positive character! and kindliness of spirit.' These qual'i-- ties, coupled with a charming per sonality, endeared him to his many friends in this citv anil elsewhere." 'f DOINGS OF A DAY IN LOC4L POLICF COURT "Poke" Lambert and Thomas Doyle were arrested on a warrant charging them with disorderly conduct in loaf ing and creating a disturbance in the vicinity of Twenty-sixth street and Fifth avenue. They were given a hearing this afternoon. Mrs. Cone was brought into court this afternoon on complaint of M. J. Murphy, who charged her with com mitting an assault. (Jeorge Coltman, aged about 17. was bound over to the grand jury in the sim of $100 today for larceny, lie had been caught in the junk yard of Nathan Harris and is believed to have been carrying away metal. Paul Van. Neste yesterday swore Vt . warrants fof'the arrest of five of his'-fpnow'tjountrynien whom he accuses 'Vf' n'aving united in giving him a Itea'ting Sunday. The trial of the case will take place before Mag istrate Johnson this evening. Phil Kramer was fined $3 and costs last evening on the charge of disor derly conduct. THE PAVING SITUATION Sacceas of the AntaeoolHin to Anything bat Ilrlrk Source of General Comment The success of the Johnny-undercover antagonism to anything but brick as a paving, material in Itock Island, which has spoiled one exten sive improvement and perhaps a smaller one. is naturally the source of comment all over town. Much dis appointment is expressed, not so much in fact that any particular kind of material should have been tabooed as that the season as a whole promises to be such a setback to street improvements in general. The Argus is not disposed to take excep tion to the attitude of the property holders in either of the instances in question, but rather consistently ad heres to the position that it has main tained all along, that the people who pay the cost of the . improvement should know what they ' want and shoidd be permitted to have what they want, and that undertakings of this kind ought not to be put off until those interested come arotind to ac cepting what other people want. There has been altogether too much narrow-mindedness and self-interest-edness in the strategy that lias been employed for the good of the city as a whole, as the general results testify. Saloon Notion Hot soup every morning and even ing from 9 to 11 at MalmroseV place, ICoa Third avenue. Horrible Fate Befall William Goble at Carbon : Cliff.

I. & p. tracks in the village at 5:30 this morning by William Hayes, a rail road foreman. Luke McDermott, who accompanied Coble to Davenport, walked into Car bon Cliff this morning shortly after the finding of the body and testified at the inquest conducted by Coroner L. V. Kckhart, the verdict of which was to the effect that death was ac cidental. The jury consisted of William Mar-dis,- Cordon Williams, Wesley Kwert, Otto Hint., J. Herman Mentzenberg and August J.elowske. McDermott testified that both he and Coble were under the influence of liquor when they left Davenport last night, lie did not know the hour, and the last thing he remembers is their having bought two railroad tickets, for Carbon Cliff.

After taking; three bottles I was entirely relieved and cured. I prescribe it now daily in my practice and heartily recommend its use to all physicians for sncotroubles. I have prescribed it in hundreds of cases with perfect success." All druggists Aledo Authorities Unable to Fath om the Mary Dool Case. GRAND JURY TO INVESTIGATE Developments Are Looked fbr Sent linent is Divided. The sphinx, half buried in the shift ing sands : of the desert, hides no more baffling mystery than the Dool poisoning case in Aledo. Xo deeper enigma has ever been presented for solution to the authorities of that or any other' town in the state. Every theory of 'criminality is exploded in this case and every known motive to crime seems to be absent. The death of Miss Mary Dool, the well known and popular daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Dool, residing on a farm a half mile from Aledo. from strychnine poisoning, on the night of Aug. 7. was the first development in the incomprehensible tragedy. The arrest of Miss Tona Dunlap, her life-long companion and friend, m the charge of murdering Miss Dool. on the morning of Aug. M), was the second great feature of the case. Her discharge on the same day, the sensational change of testimony by Miss Margaret Miller, her companion, and her subsequent threatened arrest on the charge of perjury, furnish the third and last sensational episode in the mystery at the present time. To Come lie fore GrAnd .lory Hut while there is a lull in the ex citement and the fever heat in the matter seems to be subsiding, still more developments are anticipated, and later in the fall the grand jury of Mercer county will attempt to un ravel the entangling circumstances ami ascertain whether Miss Dool came to her death through accident or by her own hand or at the hands of someone bent on her destruction. Sentiment is divided, but it is not nearly so strong with Miss Dunlap since. the preliminary hearing. The people do not seem to have theories in the matter and are completely mystified. They are only certain that there is a pitiful new-made grave in the little cemetery southeast, of Aledo. and that one or the best loved young women of that city has been removed from the scenes of her child hood and young womanhood in a most awful and mvsterious manner. TAKE UP ATHLETIC WORK AT Y. M. C, A. NEXT WEEK l'eginning' next week the regular classes' in tTie ' gymnasium at the V. M. C.
