his son Bob to arrange a special train.
It happened that the railroad president
was a strong Wig. AS such, he had no

The class in French history at the
University of Chicago the other day
was discussing the character and fate
of Marie Antoinette. Every member
of the class was showing deep interest
in the subject except handsome young

Two Children DROWNED.

One of the saddest accidents In the
history of the county occurred Mon.
day evening, when Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
j. Stuart, of Freshwater township,
were bereft of their two children bv
drowning in Cavanaugh lake. For
some days the boy, q bright little
fellow about fifteen years Of age, has
been busilv engaged in building q new
boat. This was lately completed aud
Monday evening, after supper, he took
his little sister, who was about four
years of age, out for a boat ride. Dark
ness came, but they did not return.
The mother, who was alone at the time,
Mr.. Stuart being away at another
farm, became alarmed and unsuccess.
fully attempted to lind them. She
finally went owe to w. E. Goozee's,
who lives near by, and secured his as.
sistance and together, with the aid Of
the lake. They were finally rewarded
by finding. the empty boat which the
little ones had used, which had drifted
ashore. The boat vas right side up,
but there was nothing in 1t to show
what had become Of the children and
the conclusion was reluctantly forced

the children had been drowned.
Tuesday MI. Stuart came to town to
procure tackle for dragging the lake,
and while he was here word was
brought that the bodies had been
found by MI. Arnold, a neighbor. The
bodies we're found about ten or twelve
rods from the landing where Mr..
Stuart kept his boats, in water about
ten feet deep. The boys body was
first brought to the surface and the
little girl was found near by. No one
knows how the accident happened.
There are different theories, one of
which is that the children we're using
two boats, each of the children being
in a different boat. and that the boy
was towing his sister. II this was the
cas- they might have tried 10 change
boats and in so doing upset. The boy
is said to have been q good swimmer
and probably lost his life trying to
his sister.
These children comprise Mr.. and
Mrs. Stuart's family and their sad
death has proved a terrible shock to
the afflicted parents.
The funeral was held at Webster
chapel yesterday.
