THE ARGUS, MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 9, 1907. 2 NEWS OF THE NEIGHBORS DAVENPORT Brothers Released and Rearrested. Charles and Joe Green, the two young men under arrest for complicity in the deadly assault made on James Stein during a fight a week ago at Fourth .street and Western avenue, were re leased from the county jail at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. For several days Stein hovered between life and death at Mercy hospital. During the past few days, however, he has shown de cided siens of improvement, and al though suffering from a severe frac ture of the skull, hopes are now enter tained for his recovery. Saturday the attorney for the Green brothers secur ed a written statement from Stein ai the hospital, asserting he did not desire to prosecute the Greens and would not file information against them. This statement was presented to County At torney Hamann, and after verifying it by interviewing Stein, he ordered the release of the Green brothers. No in formation had been filed against them, and as they were being held pending the timo when Stein would be able to appear against them, the county attor ney saw no other course to pursue but !o release them when Stein expressed a desire not to prosecute them. As a reason for not wanting to prosecute them, Mr. Stein stated they were in toxicated at the time and previous to the quartel had been good friends. As soon as the fellow workers of Stein at i he plant of the Pittsburg Plate Glass company learned that the Greens had been liberated, they became indignant, ; nil upon their agreement to file infor mation against the two Greens, County Attorney Hamann issued warrants for their arrest. Start Glucose Works Again. Thirty carloads of corn were received at the local glucose works Saturday, and the plant was started again today after a : hutdown of over a year. During the time that the plant has not been in op eration a large force of mechanics has been at work rebuilding it and en larging its capacity. Girl Run Over. Idel Hughes, the lit tle 7-year-old daughter of Mrs. Emma A. Hughes of 1204 Farnam street, was run over by a grocery wagon and her leg was broken at about S o'clock Sat- unlay evening. The wagon belonged fo W. Tl. Wiley's Urady street grocery and was being driven by C. Fagenberg. Does Not Find Husband. Mrs. Vin cent Weitashi. a young Polish woman who speaks little or no English, left for her home in Blue Island, near Chi rago, Saturday evening after an unsuc cessful search of the tri-cities for her husband. Weitashi, who is a laborer, deserted his wife and five little ones, the youngest a mere babe, some days ago, and what information the wife' could obtain seemed to indicate that the unnatural husband and father had come westward. The deserted woman arrived here Friday, and was taken in charge by the police matron, Mrs. Hill, who instituted a vigorous search in quarters where it was thought Wei tashi might be found. What seemed to be traces of him were discovered in Rock Island. Acting upon the supposi tion that Weitashi had secured em ployment in a construction gang at Linwood, Deputy Sheriff Jack Marinan took the woman there, looking in the gangs on the river. The authorities of Davenport, on her decision to return home, promised to arrest the man if found, and the county officials will also keep a watch out for him. Obituary Record.

ROCK ISLAND, ILL, Lives Up to Its Traditions Jamestown Exposition, The great state of Illinois at the Jamestown Tercentennial exposition is more than living up to the traditions of that one time county of the mother of states, Virginia, now one of the first states in the Union, by erecting and maintaining one of the most beautiful state homes at the exposition with that breezy and energetic but hospita ble way characteristic of the Illinoisan. Although this great commonwealth was not one of the first states to break ground at the colonial city by the sea she was one of the first to have her building completed, aud now, with wel come emblazoned on every square foot of the handsome pressed brick edifice, the sons and daughters of Illinois yes, the sons and daughters of every state this building the commission got a hundred cents' worth on every dollar invested. The building is 40 by 00 feet and has twelve rooms six on the first floor and six on the second. Each room has from two to four windows, giving plenty of light. The first floor comprises a reception room, gentle men's smoking room, ladies' rest room, an office, a kitchen and a room for storage, while the second floor has four large square bedchambers and two baths. There is a wide hall running the entire width of the building, giving the rooms ou one side a northern ex posure and those ou the other side a southern exposure. Each room has a spacious closet large enough for a small bed. The building is situated in the northeast section of the exposition grounds on States avenue, overlooking the historic nampton Roads, whence a gentle breeze always blows. The building is beautifully furnish ed throughout with the most modern and sanitary furnishings. The walls are adorned with letters and pictures of the Lincoln historical collection. Upon entering the broad reception room the visitor sees on the left band wall a large portrait of the martyred President Lincoln; on the wall direct ly opposite the entrance is a picture of the present governor of Illinois, Charles S. Deneen, and on the right hand wall is a portrait of President Roosevelt. The Lincoln historical exhibit is the finest of its kind in the country, and the public is indeed fortunate in hav ing the opportunity of going minutely over this rare collection of letters and papers of the greatest president of the United States. There is a portrait of the president and his cabinet at the reading of the emancipation proclamation, a frame containing letters of Mr. Lincoln to cabinet officers and friends from 1SG1 to ISCo, a frame of the early educa tional instruction of the president, con sisting of his copy book and arithmetic sheets and spelling; the Jubilee aud McKendree colleges and the capitols of Illinois, a frame of letters of Stephen A. Douglas, a view of early Chicago and one of modern Chicago, a frame containing some of Lincoln's drawings and mathematical problems at the time he was surveyor, a picture of his birth place and the school and mooting house of his youth, the home of John Hanks, upon whose farm Lincoln split rails; a picture of the president's step mother, Sarah Bush Lincoln; the an cestry of the Liucolns, the old stockade on Floyd's creek, Jefferson county, Ky., where Lincoln at one time lived; the marriage certificate of Lincoln's par ents, the Lincoln cabin in Iirue coun ty, Ky.; Lincoln's marriage, his faini ly, his domestic life; the home of Mary Todd, Lincoln's wife; pictures and clip pings from newspapers of 1SG0, during Lincoln's campaign; the Wigwam at Chicago, where the Republican nation al convention nominated Lincoln for president; a picture of Ford's theater, Washington, where Lincoln was assas sinated, and pictures connected with the death and burial of Lincoln. There are also pictures of General U. S. Grant, his birthplace and his homes before and after he went to West Point. The host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Humphries of Chicago, reside In this beautiful building. Strangers. whether from Illinois or other states, are made welcome. Many a night has the tired and weary sightseer been taken in and made comfortable. The entertainments and receptions held In this building have become famous through the charming manner in which they are conducted by this popular host and hostess. Illinois may well consider itself fortunate In having such genial and hospitable representatives at the Tercentennial. Several of the commissioners from time to time spend some days with Mr. and Mrs. Humphries. The Illinois commissioners are Thom as Nowers of Atkinson, R. W. Moinnes of Belvidere, A. G.

Stephens plac at the head of Eighteenth street. M!. ford Godehn, son of C. II. Godwin, w-v the victim, and only active pimilis .- work on his part prevented scriou trouble. Young Godehn was walkia? east on Eighth avenue, and when h reached Eighteenth street continue! across the wall in the rear of tlu Stephens place as a short-cut to Sev enth avenue and Nineteenth. It wa about 9 o'clock and dark. When In was half wav across a large man wit1 a heavv stubble of uncut beard and r slouch hat, and generally a ruffian i.i appearance, stepped out ot the nan; ness and exclaimed peremptorily "What are you doing in here!" "1'n making a short cut." answered G dehn. "Don't you know you have n business here? Turn around and g back." "I most certainly won't." G'i dehn was smoking a pipe and held i: in his moutlv at the time. The mar made a long arm swing aimed at tl young fellow's face. Godehn drev back his head and the man's fi-; struck the pipe breaking it off at t'n mouthpiece. Godetm is a high schoo lad of athletic ability, and he ininie diately retaliated with a right sw;n- to his assailaut s jaw, knocking hirs against a low fence to the left of th- walk and stunning him. Before !. could recover Godehn had seized hi legs and toppled him over into th Stephens yard. Having thus tempo arily vanquished his assailant. Godeh'. took to his heels, running east wan' and the man. clambering back ov the fence followed hard after him The younger man was able to kee; well ahead, however, until the light of Seventh avenue were reached, whe the man gave up the chase. o Teachers Scarce.

MOORE Elephant Fire Brigade. Racil, an elephant over 1100 years old. said to be the mother of the fa mous Jumbo, owned by a circus com pany, saved a man from death the oth er day, says a Wheeling (V. Va.) dis patch to the New York Tribune. A freight train ou the ISaltimore aud Ohio railroad bad been wrecked near Morgautown, and the engineer was caught underneath. The wreck caught (ire, and it seemed that the man was doomed. Two sections following the wrecked train having aboard the circus coining up, Racil lifted the wreckage with her trunk from the body of the engineer, and be was taken out just as the flames reached biin. Eight oth er elephants were organized into a Jire lepartment and, going to the Monon- gabela river, tilled their trunks with water and extinguished the burniug cars. When a woman suffering from female trouble is told that an oper ation is necessary, it, of course, frightens her. The very thought of the hospital, the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. It is quite true that these troub les may reach a stage where an ope ration is the only resource, but a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after an operation has been decided noon as the only cure. The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from women who by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs, have escaped serious operations, as evidenced by Miss Rose Moore'scase, of 307 W. 26th St.. N.Y. She writes:- Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-"Lvdia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound has cured me of the very worst form of female trouble and I wish to express to you my deepest gratitude. I suffered intensely for two years so that I was unable to attend to my duties and was a burden to my family. I doctored and doctored with only temporary relief and constantly objecting to an operation which I was ailvised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; it cured me of the terrible trouble and I am now in better health than I have been for many years." This and other such cases should encourage every woman to try Ly dia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before she submits to an operation. Airs.
