Mr. an J Mrs. Charles Tfatt antl Mrs.
Mary SchneMer. the latter's mother,
were found iinironscious from coal
gas in their home, 2616 Fifth-and-a-half
avenue, at S:30 o'clock this
morning-.
In half an hour, the jihysieians who
wtre summoned to administer to
them stated, all would have been dead.
Their lives were spared through the
discovery of M. Kramer, who is
employed by Mr. I'falT, the latter of
whom is a plastering1 contractor.
Kramer takes hi meals at the Pfaff
home and rooms in another part of
the neighborhood. He called at the
above mentioned hour to have break
fast. When he opened the rear door
he was nearly stifled by the fumes of
yas that issued from the rooms.
Mr. and Mrs. l'faff occupied one
room and Mrs. Schneider one adjoin
ing. It is a one-.-tory cottage. Kra
mer called to I'falf. but received no
response. Approaching the bed in
which lay he and his wife he saw that
both were barely breathing. Mrs.
Schneider was in the fame condition.
Neighbors were called in ami phy
sicians telephoned for. Dr.1 F. 1).
l'aul arrived first and soon was .join
ed by Dis. V. H. Ludewig. S. II. Hall
and K. M. Sala. At noon Mr. and Mrs.
I'fatT showed signs of returning con
sciousness, anil were pronounced out
of danger. Mrs. Schneider, on ac
count of her advanced years, was not
making such satisfactory headway,
but there are hopes that she will come
out of her experience all right.
Stove Door Opened by Explosion.
The only explanation for the fumes
escaping from the stove is that an ex
plosion of the coal during the night
blew- open one of the doors. When
this occurred no one can state, as the
three persons found almost asphyxia
ted were the only ones n the house.
Fortunately Mr. I'faiT. on retiring
last night, had failed to lock the back
door, for had Kramer found the house
closed when he called this morning he
might have turned away, taking it
for granted that there was no one at
home.
WRONG DOG IS RETURNED:
VANDAELE ASKS DAMAGES
Kdward Van Dade, of Moline. ship
ped a dog by the American Kxpress
company to Danville, 111. Knroute
the animal broke out of the crate and
escaped. The company had a search
instituted and recovere 1 what was
supposed to be the same dog that had
gotten away. It was returned to Van
Daele. Hut t h latter said it was not
the right canine, lie figured his- loss
at .:!.". The company refused to set
tle, claiming that the escape of the
dog was due to the carelessness of
Van Daele in closing the crate, hav
ing left one of the lath unsecured.
Van Daele brought suit to recover i he
damages asked, ami it was called for
trial in the county court this morn
ing. Axel Kohler appears for Van

James II. I.amont, L. X. Ponrdeau

" o
Hilly TrefiC has his opponent on the
run in the Fifth. There is not
any doubt as to his reelection.
It's only a question of how big his
majority will be.
o
The I'nion says that Kennedy wa
always against Looney "officially.
l es, aim so was rim .vinier aim so
was the I'nion until Miller and his
men took up with Looneyism.
o
They say when Cap'n O'Connor gets
out with the boys down there in the
Third he doesn't care any more for a
dollar than he does for his right arm.
That's what makes him so popular.
o
William Kennedy's withdrawal from
politics as announced a few weeks
ago in the I'nion didn't last long, l'.ill
was building for the future and he
thought he saw better things ahead.
o
For a man who has already been
awarded the flag as a winner by the
opposition paper, Otto I'.irkel is still
making things lively for his opponent
in the nldermanie race in the Third
ward.
o -
II. W. Ward will keep the wants of
the Second ward before the city coun
cil when he is elected a member of
that body, lie is a keen and active
business man and has the qualities
that make a first class alderman.
o
A meeting of the democratic' city
township committee was held at the
Hock Island house la.-t evening. Chair
man Cavauaugh presiding. The work
of the campaign was outlined, and
plans made for the success of the en
tire ticket.
o
M. W. Patties has had experience as
a member of the county board. As
the candidate for supervisor on the
democratic ticket he should receive a
splendid majority. He is popular with
all classes, lie is a long-time resident
and taxpayer.
o
(Ieorge W. Henry in the otlice of as
sessor will give the people a change
they have long desired. When you
send Mr. Henry into that office you
are not breaking in a green hand. He
is familiar with the duties and will
look after them in a manner that will
be satisfactory to all interested.
Otto If. liirkel is assured of reelec
tion as alderman in the Third ward
by the biggest majority that has been
rolled up by a candidate there in
years. The people of his ward appre
ciate his work in the council in their
behalf and they propose keeping him
there.
There should be more .voting blood
in the municipal assembly. That is
the way the voters feel in the Sixth
ward, and for that reason they have
decided to send Frank M. I.awler to
the council from lhat ward. He is
one of the representative young men
of the ward.
Can an.vone advance a good, logical
reason why Frank Kobbitis, who has
started A inly Christcnsen on one ald-
ermanic race in Hie s-ixth ward,
should always be picking the candi
dates for the republican party? I
Kohbins the steering committee for
the whole east en. I?
o
There an republicans in good stand
ing in Rock Island who are in position
to suggest to the I'nion. if so inclined.
that while it is out trying to hcat
John Looney in the councils of th
regular democratic party that has re
pudiated him by act and resolution, it
might leave somebody at home to
watch its own otlice.
John P. Sexton should receive the
support of every taxpayer in the
Fourth ward. As a successful busi
ness man he can be relied upon to
give his ward the representation it is
entitled to. It is one of the impor
tant sections of the city and should
have a level-headed man to look after
its interests.
o
Which, is more apt to appeal to a
fair-minded citizen in the pending
campaign, the paper that talks from
fact or the one that indulges entirely
in innuendo. The Argus is against
Looney and anyone in either party
who is associated with him politically.
and is willing to explain whv. Where
is the I'nion on this proposition?
o
If the self-respecting residents of
the Fifth ward are interested in get
ting1 Straightforward representation j
The Union, in its efforts to disabuse
the public mind of the interest that
Looney has in the election of Kennedy
to the office of supervisor as a part of
the systematically arranged plan to
land the latter in the office of sheriff,
seems to overlook quite a number of
things with which the eople of Rock
Island irrespective of polities must be
more or less familiar.
One cf tljese is that the existence
of the deal involving both Kennedv
and Looney was so apparent to repub
licans in Kennedy's own ward as far
back as the Yates-Lorimer fight in the
county that there was in the field in
the republican primary in the Sixth
ward at that time a ticket of dele
gates to the county convention, pub
lished and known us the "anti-Loonev-
Kennedy" ticket.
Still another fact that the I'nion
pretends to ignore is that in the city
township convention that nominated
Kennedy for the office of supervisor
the delegations selected by Looney
controlled.
Still another circumstance that the
I'nion endeavors to lose sight of is
that it was the delegates so selected
by Looney s work in republican pri
maries, forced David Don. who had
made a splendid record in the county
board, off the track for renomination
in order that way might be made for
the nomination of Kennedy as the
stepping1 stone to the office of sherilT.
Mlnleadljiff the Pa hit.
And still another strange coinci
dence, which it must be admitted now
bears somewhat on the case, is found
in the fact that in order to keep the
mind of the republican party gener
nlly off Kennedy, and thus prevent the
premature discussion of his alliance
with Looney, the I'nion was made to
announce sonic weeks ago that Aid.
Kennedy had decided to withdraw
from politics. And yet long before
this announcement appeared in the
columns of the morning paper the
combine had been formed to throw
David Don off the township ticket and
nominate Kennedy in his stead. Was
the I'nion duped into making the an
nouncement, or was it in the deal?
