An Excursion Boat on the Illinois River
Goes Down With Sixteen People ON
Board-At Least n Score OF the Passen-
gers are Lost-Partial List of the Vio-
Tins,
PEORIA, Ill, July 13. - The cruel
waves of the Illinois last night bore
down to death score of persons who
were enjoying themselves. The frankie
Folsom, Pekin boat, started out last
evening with forty passengers aboard.
A landing was made and two of three
couples joined the party. There were
also fifteen who got on the boat at the
park, SO that the passenger list reached
fully sixty. AS the boat came out of the
landing and started down to the city
she was struck by cyclone and turned
over. She was about midway in the
river and sank rapidly. Owing to the
bowling tempest the cries of the passen-
gers could not be heard.
The Longfellow, with seventy-five
passengers from Kingston, passed her
and ran to the foot of the next street
Her passengers were driven off and the
boat made preparations to go to the aid
of the Folsom, when her wheel broke
and she was left helpless. Word was
conveyed to the police station and
Mayor Warner ordered every man tc
the scene of the disaster. The Rock
Island road sent special train to the
scene of the disaster and small boats
were put off to the Folsom, the hulk of
which could be seen when the lake was
illuminated by the vivid lightning.
Four persons We're taken off at a time.
1t is known that there are a dozen in
the cabin of the ill-fated steamer. When
the boat careened over everyone rushed
to the sinking side and many were
washed overheard. So far the following
are known to be dead: Mrs. Duis-
decker and two girl companions, names
unknown: Miss Cora Fisher, Miss Fred
Fisher, Miss Mary Flath, John Ahrens,
Mary Paebel, Annie Paebel. The bodies
of the two unknown girls were dragged
out of the cabin by Mr.. Sutton, who
hung them over the rail when he as
certained they We're dead. Mrs. VIM.
Wiles, Mrs. VIM. Ripberger. All of
| these people were from Pekin.
There are eighteen dead on the Fol-
som according to the count just made.
| Only half of these will be found in the
| cabin of the boat for the others were
swept off the boat. Two bodies have
been sighted floating through the lower
bridge nearly two miles from the scene
| of the disaster. Whether these are
from the Folsom or the bodies of per
| sons from overturned boats cannot be
stated. 1t is thought they are the lat
ter.

and are manufactured upon scientific

the purposes for which a plaster is re-

because their medicinal qualities go right
to their work of relieving pain and restor-

when you feel "run DOWN" and
"used up" Malarial, typhoid or
bilious fevers spring from tall
sorts of diseases. Don't take any
risk. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery invigorates the system
and repels disease. It starts the
torpid liver into healthful action,
purifes and enriches the blood, and
restores health and vigor. As an
appetizing, restorative tonic, it sets
at work all the processes of digcs-
ton and nutrition, and builds up
flesh and strength. For all diseases
that come from a disordered liver
and impure blood, skin, scalp and
scrofulous affections, it's the only
remedy that's guaranteed. If it

case, you have your money back.
