BURIED BY THE COUNTY. Sundquist, the Felo de Se, Seems to Have Died Penniless. Coroner Eckhart held an inquest late yesterday afternoon over the remains of John Sundquist eccentric old man who shot himself at the home of George Swanson, the milkman, near Mineral Springs, in the morning. J. A.

Gettemy was appointed foreman oLthe jury impanelled, the other five member's having been: J. B. Kerns, A. W. Fisk, Elliott Erickson, John Geisberger and C.

J. Ahlforth. A verdict of suicide was quickly reached after Mr. and Mrs. Swanson and their 14-year-old son had been examined.

Nothing was known of Sundquist's family, cr in fact any of his own affairs. He talked but little never about himself and had but few friends. In the home of Mr. Swan-son, where he had stayed for a number of years, he lived as distinctly separate as though the family and himself were miles apart. He knew nothing about farming, couldn't even milk a cow or hitch a horse, and his entire service to the family was in chopping a little wood.

When anyone would seek to learn anything of his family and his history, the man appeared offended. Once when he was sick, Mr. Swanson told him he 6hould tell him what should be done with his things in case anything should happen, and the man replied indifferently that he had no relatives that he cared about and no money to be disposed of. That was all he would volunteer. A search through his clothing and his trunk failed to reveal anything but trinkets and an old pocketbook containing $2.50.

The imprint of the coins was sharply defined on the leather of the pocketbook, indicating that they had been untouched for a long time. Inquiry at both banks failed to reveal that, the man carried an account in either. Sundquist traveled a great deal. Since coming to Moline, he had been to Sweden twice, California twice and as far south as Florida. It was noticeable that he spoke always of traveling in first-class style and was accustomed to all conveniences.

Whether his insanity was brought on through his having gotten to the end of his funds, and he was carrying out what he had declared he would do in case he reached such a strait, or whether it was because of too much study and worry over his perpetual motion machine, will never be determined. The remains were buried by the county this morning. The First M. E. Sunday school will enjoy a Feast of Lanterns, Friday evening, at Peter Kneberg's, 1403 Twelfth avenue.

Primary department children will be entertained beginning at 4 p. the remainder of the school after 6 p. m. There will be music and other entertainment. A 10-cent fee will be required of those not members of the school.

Employes and the Company Come to a Satisfactory Settlement in the Adjustment of the Waxes to Pre vail till July 1, 1899 Terms of Agreement Not Given Out, But the Men Have Been Granted Practically the Raise Demanded. Deere Co. and their molders reached a mutually satisfactory agreement this morning- as to the wage controversy which has been pending for a few weeks past. Neither the company nor the men will disclose the terms of the agreement, or what the raise in wages amounts to for it undoubtedly was an increase to have been satisfactory to the men, and the company has signified all through its willingness to grant some sort of a raise. The original demand of the men was for a ten per cent raise throughout.

The company would not accede to this and the adjustment was finally taken up on each job under controversy. The shop committees, Foreman Frank Young and Secretary But- tervvorth devoted yesterday to going over the prices and fixing the new scale on each piece of -work turned out. The agreement was signed by the men and the company this morning, after it had been submitted to and acted on by the molders. The agreement, it is understood, is binding for a year, and neither the company or men can withdraw from it, except as individual employes might want to give up their positions. The men are all happy and satisfied over the concessions they have secured, and Deere Co.

are satisfied, in addition to being well-pleased with the fair-minded conduct of their men, who while making their claims persistently did so in a friendly spirit and without resorting to the extreme measure of a strike, or even threaten ing to do so. HYMENEAL. Fred Y. Yeoward, the Eestaurateur, Weds Miss Annie Grady. Fred.

V. Yeoward, who came from Sterling a few days ago and purchased the Merchants' Restaurant at 1611 Third avenue, came well equipped for business.

Last evening Mr. Yeoward and Miss Grady subscribed to articles of partnership submitted by the Rev.

R. C. Bryant at the First Baptist church. The wedding was a quiet and happy one, and Mr. and Mrs.

ATTEND AH0E IS A DISAPPOINTMENT In That It Is Not Nearly So Large as Was Anticipated A Fair Showing Made in the Parade Today An Excellent Moline Camp tire Program for Tomorrow Evening. The war concert at Harper's theatre under direction of Prof. G. R.

Housel was the feature of the LT. V. U. encampment for last evening. The concert was a fine one, and was richly enjoyed by the veterans and by the large audience assembled.

The cornet playing of Miss Edith Housel, daughter of the professor, was very creditable indeed. The program was a long one twenty-four numbers including assembly call and taps and many encore numbers were granted, and the curtain not rising till 8:30, it was nearly midnight before it fell. An additional number of delegates arrived last evening and this morning in time to be in the grand procession, but still the number of visitors is very far below 800, the number of delegates alone that were expected. Rock Island has at all events done herself proud in every preparation the decorations need not have been more elaborate had twice the number of expected visitors really arrived. The parade was about a half hour passing a given point, and while much thinner than was anticipated, made a creditable showing.

For many years I have been a sufferer from very severe stomsch trouble. I could not eat without great pain in my stomach. Most of the time I bad no appetite.

It was a case cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. I told my husband I believed this medicine would help me. He went right away and got me a bottle of It and I began taking it. Before I had taken half a bottle I felt better. I took four bottles before I stopped and I was cured.
