A Rock Island lady, who incidentally spends most of lier time traveling, now in America, now in Europe and then again in other parts of the world, has formed a desire for a certain brand of buckwheat which she has been able to procure only In this city. On leaving here sometime ago for her ranch in tlalnant did produce. The latter says Texas, she took with her a five-pound that when the doors were guarded by 'package of the flour and has evidently ene. and the other flourished a knife, j used it all. Today the local grocer h- had no alternative. Still, he could ; from whom she gets the delicacy, re- no! prove his point, and the defend ants were released.

And the magistrate you can imagine how an gry one must be to break up one's hat, well he was twice as angry as that, stalked out of the police station, the cene of the carnage of "cadies" wearing a deeply furrowed frown, hid den somewhat by a cap which was loaned bv a friend. Yesterday, the magistrate was indignant, and right eously so, for his hat had been pilfered from the nail on the wall, and he had to go home wearing a rather decrepit bonnet. AXD THE HAT CAME BACK. Well this morning, it was a case of the hat coming back and in order to get even with Chief James Brinn, he who was responsible for the myster ious disappearance of the chapeau yes terday, the magistrate decorated one of the chiefs bonnets with democratic political advertising the chief is a stauncn republican and attaching a name so that it would be recognized, hung the hat in a conspicuous place. EVES VP O.NE TO UO. i nat made matters about even up, but the battle had only begun. The magistrate had two hats in the station both out of his ken. And while he was busy adjusting a case in court, someone secured a little antiquated llmburger and rimmed the hat with It. Hence, the "stoved lids."
