This morning at 10 O'Clock, West Nels

heart disease while at his work. Coroner
Hawes was called and empanneled the

Thomas Slater, Benjamin Huntley, John
Stanton, Peter F. NJ organ and Louis V.
Eckhart. Dr. Barth was the first witnesss.
He said he was called a little after 10
o'clock and found that life was then eX-
tinct. Judging from the general appear
ance he was of the opinion that deceased
died of heart disease. He found no marks
of violence on the body. The mode of
death was by syncOpe. Henry Cutter,
cooper, testified that they started to work
at about o'clock and worked until 10
O'Clock Then he saw deceased fall all at
once with cramps. He put pillow under
Tic uCdu vi bCSIdoCu anu oCu
for DR.. Barth. Deceased had eaten a
lunch about five minutes before his death,
and had then went to work again. He
was in the act of picking up board
when he fell. He had not complained Of
sickness, but witness had noticed that his
lips were blue in the morning; otherwise
he had appeared to be all right, and had
| worked as usual Deceased had worked
in the cooper shop since New Years day
Henry Kellerman and John Siedenfus'
were also examined Their testimony
correlated that of Cutter. The jury re-
turned verdict of heart disease.

Justina Larkin.

Peter Larkin, who has been nominated
for Justice of the peace on the democra-
tic ticket is a man who deserves the big
gest kind of majority at the hands of
the people. He has lived here many years
and has throughout his residence here
proved himself worthy of the greatest
confidence. Nothing can be said to his
detriment as man and citizen. AS a
Justice of the peace he is capable of put>
ting aside personal feeling and acting
purely as the distributor of justice.

EASTER JOY.
Special Gbseryanees at the Different
Churches.

The observation of Easter by special
services in the churches Yesterday was
quite general. The day was so warm and
pleasant that almost everybody was out
to take advantage of the first really sum
merlike Sunday which has been expe-
rienced this spring. Everything seemed
to combine to make the Easter season
one of JOY and glad thanksgiving. Al,
most every church was full, and those
where it was known that special services
would be held were full to overhowing
AT THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
church there were some fine flower
decorations about the pulpit. Back
of Mr.. Cryer was the motto, WORTHY of
the Lamb, and above the organ was,
"Christ, the Lord, has Risen Today" in
white. There were beautiful lilies, and a
great variety of other flowers. The
special feature there was the singing,
which was pronounced as without excep-
ton the best ever heard in the church
One of the hymns in particular was ex-
ceptionally fine. 1t was. Fill the Font
with Rose" Another, Christ, the Lord,
is Risen Today, was also widely praised
The choir was composed of Miss Pleas
ants, soprano; Miss Bogue, alto; Alfred
Corns, tenor; and J. K. Cooke, bass, with
S. T. Bowlby at the organ. The sermon
by Rev. Cryer, was one of his best, and
was listened to with the closest attention.
In the evening the young peoples twi
light service attracted another large au-
dience. The children took part in the excr>
ciscs which were ofa very pleasing nature,
an attractive part was the carrying of a
| flower to the pulpit by each one of the
participators. These flowers were given
to Mr.. Hatch, superintendent of the
school, and by him arranged so that when
the last had been placed, complete and
lovely floral cross was found. BY special
request, the choir repeated The two hymns
| mentioned above.
AT TRINITY
church also an immense audience gath
cred in the morning, and listened to a
splendid sermon by Rev. r. F. Sweet
The altar was almost a bank of delicate,
beautiful flowers, tastefully arranged and
forming scene of surprising loveliness.
In the afternoon there was a special ser
vice for the Knights Templar. About
twenty from Davenport, a number from
Moline, and Everts Commandery No. IS
of this city, all in full regalia, gathered al
the hall and marched to the church
There they listened to an able sermon by
Sir Knight, Rev. r. F. Sweet, on the du'
ties of the Christian knight. The singing
on both occasions was excellent anC
above the average.
| OTHER CHURCHES
were decoratedand the congregations lis
tened to appropriate discourses. At tn,
Baptist church they deemed it an especia
occasion of JOY. because in the evenin!
seven persons arose and asked for prayers
