JOHN SUNDQUIST'SEND THE PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE AN EASY FABLE. "Good evening, Torpid Liver," said a Beecham Pill. "I merely dropped in to tell you that you must act iu the living present. This is no time for slumber; move on." Torpid liver heeded the advice of Beecham's Till, and the next day Bilious Headache was absent from the House Wonderful. MOKAL Take them early and often.

machine guns and four torpedo tubes, two front and two rear. In addition to her crew, she has mascots in the shape -of an old deaf cat, and a white Wm. Goat that was biven to the ship by the Sixth Massachusetts and they have named it "Billy Mason" of the Sixth Illinois. We were in sight of Morro castle for several days, or until last Saturday, when we came to this place, forty miles east of Santiago, just in time to miss seeing the Stars- and Stripes hoisted over Morro at 9 o'clock Sunday morning, in place of the Spanish rag that was there. There are a great many ships here, all IT.

S. except one, that being a French man-of-war. The one that is cherished and looked for most is the "Celtic," the supply boat. We got 2,000 pounds of fresh beef from her last Saturday and they are getting the same amount again today. She also has other supplies, but nothing on her tastes as good as beef, as we have been aboard ship twelve days and sow-belly was the bill of fare every day until the beef came.

There is a cable station on shore here, that is connected with Washing ton, so the news ought to be fresh. We have been coaling our ships since last Monday, and will take at least three days more. It is a very dirty job, and no doubt all will be glad when it is over. The "Kita" (the Spanish prize boat) which has on board our regimental officers and companies and is in harbor here with a quar antine flag floating over her, on account of one case of measles and one case of mumps on board; there fore we have no communication with her except the wig-wag signals; but I understand Cols. Foster and Kittilsen are not in the best of spirits, still they are not sick abed.

To be continued tomorrow. OBITUARY. Mr. and Mrs. John Jacobson Bereaved of Their Infant Son.

He Telegraphs that He Haa Typhoid Fever, bat Will Soon Be Well. W. II. Cay lord telegraphed yesterday to his son Lieut. L.

B. Gaylord, who had been landed at Fortress Monroe, inquiring as to his condition and asking if it would be necessary for any one to go to him. In anticipation of a reply indicating that he was quite ill, Mrs. Gajdord got all ready to start on a night train for Virginia, but when the reply came quite late in the evening it was quite reassuring, and Mrs. Gaylord decided that it would not be necessary for her to go.

The telegram was as below: "Fortress Monroe, have typhoid fever. Am getting on nicely. Have best of treatment, Write often. Shall soon be convales cent. Louis." FROM LIEUT.

LYON. He Writes Home Telling of the Skirmish atGuanica. Guancia, Porto Rico, July 27. We landed here on the 25th, and the 20th we had a battle a small one, to be sure, but a battle nevertheless. The enemy attacked us at 5 a.

m. just out side the town in the mountains. The boys succeeded in killing five or six, My companies were there. There was part of the Sixth Massachusetts and two companies of the Sixth Illinois, Three on our side were slightly wounded, but none seriously. Last night I slept on the bare ground about two miles out (I am out on post duty).

There was lots of shooting going on; the Spaniards would not let us sleep. I could plain ly hear the whistle of the bullets as they passed over us, but we took it coolly, and every time a ball would pass over the boys would laugh and make fun of their poor markmanship. I picked up cocoanuts and bananas today. The officers' wives left here with their husbands without stopping to pack their household goods, leaving fine linens and other things behind them. This is a fine country, always a breeze here.

Will tell you all about it when I get back; breakfast is ready now. FROM JOHN DINE. The Newport Was a Little Too Unsteady for Gay Darling. U. S.

Flagship Lancaster, Key West, August 3, 1898. The only event of particular interest to the friends of the Moline crew which has occurred in Key West waters the past week is the arrival of the U. S. S. Newport from New lork, where she went a few weeks ago as a convoy of the cap tured Spanish prize steamers.

The Moline boys on the Newport of which there are twenty-seven, experienced some heavy seas on their return trip. They encountered a very heavy gale oft! Cape Hatteras, and the results as far as the crew was those coining from the western part of Illinois, can better be imagined than explained in type. All but Guy Darling endured the two days of heavy seas with really no telling effect. Guy, however, had to take to his hammock where he was still confined at the latest information. During twenty-four hours of sailing near Cape Hatteras the ship only made ninety-five miles.

To hear the Moline boys tell of it, of course, the storm must have been terrible. The Newport started out again this morning for the Havana blockade, where she is scheduled to remain for three weeks. The ships in the harbor received telegraphic news from the navy de partment yesterday that a severe gale was expected to pass through Key West harbor and the Cuban waters tomorrow and day after. In conse quence all the battleships are being held in the harbor today, in anticipa tion of the disturbance. Alfred Dahlstedt, of Moline, the well known painter, who was transferred from the Lancaster to the Dorothea, was taken quite ill on that vessel a week ago, and has been confined in the general hospital in Key West since then.

Troopship No. 30, the "Morgan," passed through Key West a few days ago enroute to Santiago from Port Tampa, Fla. Three hundred were on board. Kumors of peace and the of different provinces in Cuba come and go every day. At and event it is very likely, from the opinion of a number of old navy men, that the majority of the naval militia members of the different states will be flis-charged from the service within two months.

Ht was born in Prussia In 1S30 Which He Conlda't Invent Crazes Him, and He Shoots Himself in His Room at the George Swanson Farm House East or Moline A Resident Hereabouts for a Quarter of a Century. John Sundquist an eccentric old man of 61 years, shot himself in the head at his room at the home of George Swanson, the milkman living on the hill a short distance east of Mineral Springs," about 10:30 this morning. Sundquist is said to have been demented over his unsuccessful effort of years to invent a perpetual motion He sought to invent a machine to prove the law, and he even succeeded in getting one together that would run for hours at a stretch.

He w-as told that he would lose his mind over his constant worry, but he declared he would take it easy. Marshal Kittilsen once said, when he talked to the man, that he would kill himself some day. Sundquist always declared that he could die when he. was of no more use to the world, and that he would shoot himself. The man has been about these parts for twenty-five years.

At one time he worked for the Moline Plow Co. He had traveled extensively, all over this country, apparently always having plenty of funds. Sundquist was about the Swanson house as usual this morning. He dressed himself in his best clothes, shaved himself and told Mrs. Swanson he was gofng away.

After completing his toilet he went upstairs to his room and shot himself, taking the revolver from an open packed valise at the side of his single bed. The ball entered the head just above the left ear. THAT DELAYED LETTER. Lieut. Gould Describes the Columbia and Its Cruise to Cuban Waters.

Fourteenth-Street Improvement Given Up for the Present. The county court ruled this forenoon, when the fourteenth street improvement case came up for consideration, that the general public would be benefited by the paving of the street and alley intersections.and that there- fore the paving of these street and alley intersections should be paid for by the city from general taxation. It was accordingly ruled that the assessment roll, charging the whole expense up to the property frontage, would not stand. Thereupon City Attorney Moore, obedient to the instructions given him by the city council, dismissed the case, and the improvement will not be made at present. Adolph F.
