Will THE SEA HAZE TO UORKo

Niagara is already working, and per-
haps the oceans will haze to go to work
soon. They certainly will if William
Reed can do what he thinks he can.
Mr.. Reed is an inventor, and he has
been perfecting a continuance intended
to utilize the power in the rise and fall
of the tides. He has just received let
ters patent for his invention from the
governments Of the United States, Great
STA and Japan. Mr.. Reeds contrivance
"a rising and falling pier-has inter-
ested some scientific men and many in
ventors who have made a special study

Mr.. Reed says that his contrivance
will keep continuously at work twenty
four hours day. His pier or boat is
to be built in two compartments; one,
which resembles an immense scow, is
the boat proper, but directly upon this,
with an altitude precisely as high as the
tide in the locality in which the boat is
built, is to be supermposed a tank,
which is to be filled with water and
emntied as occasion demands. A place
upon the coast is to be selected, either

ant, there is, Of course, no difficulty in
making it rise or fall with the tide.
Mr.. Reeds ingenuity has been In con-
tinuing, as he claims, this rise and fall
when the tide itself is stationary; and
for this purpose he uses the superim-
posed tank and the creek. AT dead low
tide. when the boat would naturally be
at a standstill, the water in the creek,

several times each week, which is for

respectively ten and nine years, and an
unknown woman, aged about 35 years,
were found dead Sunday in room in
Mrs. Fahrenkamp's home, 1416 North

turned on and life had apparently been
extinct for several days. Scattered
about the first floor were remnants of
cigars and cigarettes and empty beer

Mrs. Fahrenkamp was lying on the
floor and her daughter near by. The
unknown woman and the boy were in
bed. The last heard from the inmates
of the house was on Thursday night,
when the piano was kept playing until
late hour. On Friday morning Mrs.
Wilson, living next door, was asked by
Florence to assist her in raising her
mother from the floor, where the child
said she was sleeping. Mrs. Wilson told
her she was unable to do so, and sug-
gested that the girl cover her mother
and allow her to continue sleeping.
The two women and the boy, it is be-

other room, it is thought that she was
overcome by the gas while trying to lift

DEATH OF Mr.. JOHN MORGAN.

~.
The death of Mr.. Morgan occurred on
Saturday last, after many weeks of
serious illness, and thus is taken from
our midst one of our most aged and
hOnored citizens.
He was born in Ohio January %, 1919
and had therefor passed through the
boundary line of so years. He came to
Scott Co. Iowa in 1s4l when but a
young man. In ls49, upon the dis
covery Of gold in California. in common
with thousands of others he made his
way to that Ell Dorado. going by the
tedious ocean route via Panama. After
spending nearly two years he returned
to his home, where in December 1854
he was married to Miss Patterson, the
devoted companion who survives him.
A few years later he again returned to
the Pacific coast, engaging in mining
and penetrating into the remote re-
gions of Alaska, living an isolated life
among the Indian tribes whose lang
uage he acquired; and spending eleven
years in that territory. Returning to
Iowa, he located farm home in Craw
ford county near West Side in 1869. A
year and half ago he purchased a
home in Denison to spend here his last
days. He was permitted to enjoy its
tranquility but brief period when the
inevitable summons came. He had set
his house in order and was ready to
obey the call of Gods messenger.
Dying he leaves a priceless legacy
the memory of we'll spent life. Intel
lectualIy by extensive reading and
travel his mind had become a store
house of valuable and varied know
ledge. Reiigiously he was reared in
the Society of Friends. Last April by
profession of faith and baptism he UNI
ted with the Presbyterian church in
Denison and was most faithful and
honored member.
His character as husband, citizen
or friend inspired profound respect,
confidence and affection.
The funeral service was held at the
family residence on Sabbath afternoon,
cnl Quoted by his pastor, Rev. A. G.
Martyr assisted by members of the
Presbyterian choir; and interment was
made at West Side.
