The Rockford Republic prints the following story: Mr. and Mrs. Blank. Rock Island. That's the way they reg istered at the Hotel Nelson Saturday night. There was no reason for any one believing that they were writing a lie. for they looked respectable enough and their coming certainly excited no more than the usual interest. Rut yesterday afternoon when Mrs. Blank's real husband came up from Rock Island and secured a pass key to the rooms of the hotel, well, there was a little more than the uual inter est then. Mr. Wronged Husband was not one of the fuming. blood and thunder kind, however, for he simply went to to the room, opened it with his pass key. and confronted the g-iilty couple. There was a little red fire, not much, and then the erring wife packed up her belongings and left the hotel with her husband, presumably to their home in Rock Island. The man who brought the woman here paid the bill and departed alone and the incident closed thrn anil there as far as Rockford is concerned. To b sure, some of the hansrers on at the hotel would like to have seen a little gun play, or even a good, sound thrashing, but that might have left some blood spots or something like that, and the hotel management was glad to see it feud as peacefully as it did. The names of the parties are not given. PERSONAL POINTS. M. H. Sexton left for St. Joseph last night. H. Schroeder is spending his vaca tion at Colfax Springs, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. W. S.

Reports from up the river tell of the actions of a mysterious individual who has been seen at various jtoinls swim ming southward. It is said that the man is on his way to the world's fair and has chosen thin unique way of get ting there. The swimmer wears a hat to protect him from the sun's rays, and swims long distances at a time. A boat follows him. in which friends watch his movements, and are ready to pick him up in case he becomes exhausted. Jack McCaffrey who went from Keo kuk to the world's fair on a log has made a landing on the edge of the great city. The Globe-Democrat tells about him: Jack McCaffrey, who landed in North St. Louis Sunday night after floating down the river from Keokuk on a log. will remain in St. lxuiis a week to see the fair and the city. He expected to land yester day morning at the foot of Pine street, thus giving to St. Louis people an opportunity of watching him navigate his strange craft. But he decided that his trip of 2o2 miles was long enough and anchored for the week just below Merchants' bridge. McCaffrey left Keokuk on his trip. Sunday morning. July 21. He traveled only in the day time, and met with several delays, which accounts for his reaching St. Ixmis one day behind his scheduled time. He has made several short trips of this kind before, but never one of such length. He is an old logger, hav ing been in the employ of the Tabor Lumber company of Keokuk for many years and engaged in piloting rafts of logs down the Mississippi.
