that of Mrs. John r. Stengel, which
occurred at 1850 yesterday morning
at the Moline city hospital, where
she had undergone an operation Tues
ton had been precarious from the
first, q change for the better was noted
Saturday and there were hopes for her
ultimate recovery. But this proved
only the final rally in the brave fight
for life that she was making, a re-
lapse soon following. The news of
her demise came as great shock to
her family and friends. Mrs. Stengel
was born in Rock Island Nov. II, 1876,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. +.
ier. Her mother died when she
was child of her own death fur
nishing a sad coincidence. as she now
leaves with the bereaved husband a

age. Mrs. Stengel. whose maiden
name was Margaret Gazetteer, was mar

COULD SECURE A CANNON.
An Opportunity Rock Island Ought to
Take Advantage of.

Take Advantage of.
The government now has at it's dis
posal large number of cannon which
may be sent to various points when
recommended by proper persons. But
the expenses attached to their trans
portation must be borne by the appli-
cants themselves, as the war depart
ment has no fund available for the
purpose. Thus it appears that these
EN- blems of patriotism and national
heroism may be had to serve as stand
ing monuments and object lessons to
the rising generation, teaching love of
country and respect for heroism won
by our citizen soldiers and sailors in
the various conflicts at arms which
have required noble self-sacrifice by
our people. E. ID. Kohn, in calling
the attention of The ARGUS to the OPP
portunity open to Rock Island, as we'll
as other cities, to secure one of these
cannon, says he would be willing to
head a subscription list to raise the
money to defray the necessary ex-
penses. This is n suggestion for the
Rock Island Club.
