One of the children of George E. Spickler, the well-known Andalusia resident, is dead, another very crit ically ill and a third is under the care tvf a physician, as- a result of eating1 YHhie.-day of baked beans that had been cooked in a pot in which a Ger man! silver spoon had been left. Mr. Spickler himself had a very narrow eseajK', but is now convalescent. Mrs. Spickler was in IJuffalo caring for her daughter, Mrs. George Her bert, who was threatened with ap pendicitis, and Hattif l.russo, the daughter of a neighbor, was tempor arily keeping house for the family. Wednesday morning she baked beans in the usual manner, using an earth en jar and- cooking them with fat. Members of the family ate of them for dinner and during the afternoon Mr. Spickler was taken ill. Partaken of at Supper. No suspicion was- directed to the cause of his sickness, however, and in the evening the beans were warm ed and the children again ate of them. Those who ate the most heart ily were Dale, aged Anna, aged 5, and Vera, aged S. All three -during the evening became violently ill and Dr. UarewaU, of Buffalo, was sum moned. After satisfying himself that the case was one of poisoning the physi cian began an examination to learn what the canst? might be and he shortly found the beans with a Ger man silver tablespoon in the jar. . The spoon hail been used by Miss IJrusso in stirring the beans and had been left in the jar diuring the cook ing process and again when they were warmed, in the evening. It was found covered, with verdigris, or car bonate of copper, due to the action of the fat non the metal while at a high temperature. Child Ulen YegUrtlay. All four members of the family continued critically ill throughout the night, and Dale, th" youngest, passe, I away at .'J o'clock yesterday afternoon. Anna is in a very pre carious condition and her recovery is considered extremely doubtful. The other child of the family is an older son. Edward, who was not ill. MisM Uru'so also escaped. The funeral of Dale will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from Uie home. BOYS FROM EAST END GO TO SEE THE WORLD The police last evening were noti fied that two boys from the east end of the city, doubtless inspired by the signs of spring with a ilcsire to see the world, had departed from home without the knowledge of their par ents. The hides are Troy l'iall, the 11-ycar-oM son of Henry ('. Kiall, 12::) Fortieth street, and Carl Granere.Son of C. (). Granere, 1311 Thirty-eighth st reet. The former is described as small in stature and slender, with black eyes and auburn hair and dressed in dark gray coat with knee pants and dark cap. The other in large and well built, with blue eyes and light hair arid clothed in dark blue eoat and knee pants. Another boy named l!reccher is also absent and is believ ed to have gone with the two first named. The Kiall and Granere lads gathered what change they could find before leaving. John Ainswort'h was arrested last evening on complaint of K. L. McMil lirn, who charged him with assault and battery. lie gave security for an appearance and will be given a hear ing later. Tins afternoon a telephone mes sage was received stating that' the boys had been caught at Colomi by the authorities of that village, they evidently having started for Chicago. The? fathers left this afternoon ' to bring them home. GOLDEN STATE LIMITED TO BE DISCONTINUED Announcement has been officially mads by the I'ock Island road that the Golden State Limited train will be taken off March 2'J. The division superintendents have been called in Chicago to assist in the arrangement of a new time table to go into effect on that dote. :- It is stated "that the report recently circulated that the train, has not been a success financially has no founda tion, for the patronage, has been more than was anticipated. The train was intended only for the winter Califor nia lii-st class travel and it is expect ed that it will be placed in cmmis- sion again this fall. COLLEGE FACULTY PLACES BAN ON SCHEDULED GAME The game of basketball that was to have been played at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium this evening between the association and the Atigustana col lege teams has been canceled on ac count of the faculty of the college having prohibited the match.

George Metger was removed as postmaster at Davenport today and Capt. Lon Hryson appointed his suc cessor. Some months ago a shortage of $fi,0()0 was alleged to have been discovered in Metzger's accounts. It was' made good by friends, his bonds men not being called upon. Today Mr. Stewart, a special government in spector, arrived in Davenport with instructions to make a change in the postmasters-hip. He asked Mr. Metz ger's bondsmen to nominate a man for the vacancy and they chose Capt. IJryson. PERSONAL POINTS. M. T. Stevens visited in Clinton yes terday. Mrs. A. IJoseberry has returned home after a visit in Youngstovvn, Ohio. I. J. Farrcll, for some time past night operator at the D., H. I. A: X. Y., has resigneds taking effect today. F. C.

During the past few d'lys Mrs. Wilson has been visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. K. V.. Stone. THINGS POLITICAL. Di'l you hear that .lohn Scott will have to hurry? The boys jire right behind him. Composed of strong, representative, energetic men, the democratic ticket is a winner. There will be a number of new dem ocratic aldermen in the next munici pal assembly. They won't grab things so ipiickly at Turner hall - tonight since they kiKUv what thev have to go against. Will the Knox fellows let the soft shoo republicans, delixer everything to whom they please, or will they get what they feci is coining to them? Republicans who were disappointed in not "seeing things" last night may be on hand at Turner hall this even ing and see something, where they will feel more at home. The democrats of Kock Island have asserted themselves. There is no par ly boss, no dictator with a rule or ruin policy. The men who have dem ocratic pi-ineipies at heart have allied themselves to preserve the party or ganization and to work earnestly in the interests of the common cause. Democrats generally are gratified with the results of last night's con vention, not only because the will of the party found free expression in the choice of the men who will guide its destinies, but because also of the ex cellent ticket nominated, to the sujv port of which every conscientious vo ter can give hearty indorsement. George McCaskrin, the renowned prestidigitator, necromancer, worker of hidden art and chief ranger of the white, mahatmas, will positively ap tear at the Illinois theatre April 4. Don't be tricked, into hearing anyone else. There is no other "just as good." None genuine without the name "MeCn.'krin" blown in the bot tle. Heware of frauds. MAN IS FEARFULLY HURT IN SHOP ACCIDENT .lule Chelstrom. living at Kigh teenth street and Twelfth avenue, Moline. was the victim of a terrible accident while working at his regu lar occupation at Deere & Mansur's plant in that city t lilts morning.

The injured- man bled fearfully be fore he could be placed in the hands of n physician. lie was taken to the City hospital, where he is now in a critical condition. The unfortnuate man is 27 vears f age an J has a wife and an infant SEARS SATISFIED Officials Express Willingness to Stop Legal Fight With Rail way Company. PLEASED WITH ITVE-OENT PAEE Apparatus Purchased for Club of Tri-City Company's Employes. Ollicials of the village of Sears an nounce that they are satisfied with the reduction in fares to 5 cents to the Watch Tower and to Milan made by the Tri-City IJailway company yesterday, and that they are perfect ly willing to drop the fight they have been waging where it is. This is taken to mean that they will not further contest, the validity of the franchise granted by the vil lage board something over a year ago provided the supreme court's decis ion does not carry it down under the general ruling, and that the villagers will cease their efforts to prevent the passage of ihe bill now before the legislature to especially fit the cir cumstances of the railway company. Una Gymnasium Outfit. The apparatus for the fitting up of the club rooms of the Tri-City Kail way company's employes in the new build'ing on Fifth avenue has been purcliascd and is now in the rooms awaiting leisure on the part of the men to put it in place.

The. remainder of the morning was devoted to the examination of two witno-scs from Ihe lower end of the county, both of whom testified to have seen gambling in progress in Davis' establishment. MILTON MAKING GOOD WITH ST. LOUIS TEAM The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says of Kock Island's old favorite pitch er: "Donovan is watching the pitch ers closely. Milton made a favorable impression in Sunday's game. He did not show much in practice, but in the three innnhigs he twirled for the Colts- but three hits were made tiff him and none of the opposing batters scored. Dig Larry watches the bases closely. He threw a. high fast ball ami Uses but few curves. Mike O'Neill worked ami sweated as if it were midsummer at league park. Ilis movement is easy. Warm weather is just what he necil-s to bring him around. IMncrr of Colds and firlp. The greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting" in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough I'emedy tak en, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy f or these diseases wchavc yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is a certain pre ventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure a cold or an attack of the grip in less time than any' oilier treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take.
