nierht in a lire resulting from the ex
plosion of a lamp filled with gaso
line, died at 2 o'clock this morning
at the Moline city hospital.
While she received severe burns in

ach trouble of long standing, which
had been aggravated by the shock
Monday night. She was 50 years of
age.
David Owens, father of Wilfred, has
also been given up by the physicians.
He is at the city hospital and bas
been delirious since the night of the
fire, when he made a heroic effort to
save his .wife and son, who were
sleeping in their rooms on the second
floor of the house when the explosion
occurred. Mrs. Owens was gotten
out with but a few burns, but the
father had a desperate struggle be
fore he was able to reach the open
with the boy, whom lie carried in his
arms. The lad's clothing was ignited
and he was burned almost beyond
recognition.
Shock Will Be Fatal.
It was not tin. light at the time that
Mr. Owens condition was serious, but
the shock has proven more than he
can survive. He was burned in the
body, tace and hands.
There are five children at the Owens
home: Certie, David, Laura. Nona
and Morris.

Artlnt From Chicago Comings
Augustana takes great plens-nre
announcing a concert to be
in
given by
I'heodore Spiering, Chicago's renovvn-
d violin virtuoso. Mr. Spiering's ap
pearance will be anticipated with
much interest in the musical circles
of the tri-cities as he has never be-
ore appeared here in recital. Such
an opportunity does not ofr-en pre
sent itself and much enthusiasm has
already been shown. Tickets for sale

irly Spanish stock that settled
in the early davs. The details
seem impossible to northern peoplt
but Mr. Du I!ois has taken great pain
to look up the records, which are ae
cuiatcly kept, and vouches for the
truth of his statements.
He sketches the remarkable career
oi one i-.uiaiie rerz oe dm lien, a na
tive of Spain and a pure Castillian
with light complexion and blue eyes
who filled the office of treasurer of
San Gabriel mission for half a centurj
and died at the age of 143 years. Her
husband died at the age of 112. Her
youngest daughter was born when she
was 7.'5 years of age.
Mr. Du Hois states that he obtained
a photograph of another centenarian
who at 300 is keeping a popcorn stand
merely to keep busy, having enough
of this world's goods to keep him in
comfort if he desired to live in idleness.

Edwin A. Rounds, the house mover,
is made defendant in a suit for di
vorce containing sensational charges
filed by his wife, Margaret Rounds, in
the circuit court, through her attor
neys, Sweeney & Walker.
The couple were married at Clin
ton, Iowa, March 1C, 1S74, and have
four children. Albert, William, Ma
dura and NeUje. The male children
are all married, while Nellie has been
an invalid for a year past and has
been living with her mother.
In her declaration Mrs. Rounds
states that "on account of some triv
ial matter, which was unintentional
on her part, and without provocation
said defendant commenced to abuse
your oratrix. calling her bad names,
intimating she was untruthful and
unfaithful to him, and did this to such
an extent your oratrix was almost
driven to desperation, and finally
drove your oratrix from tbe house
in a violent manner by pushing her,
and would not permit your oratrix
to take her clothes therefrom."
Mrs. Rounds states that, fearing
her husband would carry out his
threats to take her life, she hid from
him in the neighborhood of her home
for a week. He told" her she must
leave Rock Island; lhat both of them
coull no longer live in the same town.
Leaves City to Homor Huaband.
To humor her husband she states
that, she did leave the city, remaining
away for three weeks, and making
her home during that time with her
sister-in-law. At the solicitation of
her children she returned, and
awhile her husband's behavior
ward her was bearable, but he
not continue long in this frame
mind.
In 1001 Mrs. Rounds charges that
her husband became intimate with
a domestic employed at their home.
and when she protested against his
conduct he drove her from the house
again. The couple have lived apart
for more than two years.

Anxloaa Moments.
Some of the most anxious hours of
a mother's life are those when the
little ones of the household have the
croup. There is no other medicine so
effective in this terrible malady as
Foley's Honej and Tar. It is a house
hold favorite for throat and lung trou
bles, and as it contains no opiates or
other poisons, it can be safely given.
Sold by all druggists.
Doesn't Respect Old Are.
It's shameful when youth fails to
show proper respect for old age, but
just the contrary in the case of Dr.
King's New Life Tills. They cut off
maladies, no matter how severe and
rrespective of old age. Dyspepsia,
jaundice, fever, constipation, all yield
to this perfect pill. 25 cents, at Ilartz

It's Wilful Extravagance
to pay your merchant tailor a big price
for clothes when you can get equally as
good, or better results from the
Stein-Bloch Ready-to-Wear.
Probably you don't like the sound of
ready-to-wear;' think all ready-to-wear
clothing is alike. Pardon us. you
are mistaken: There is a vast difference;
the Stein-Bloch clothes are to be com
pared only to high-class merchant-tailor
productions. Why not investigate?
