The report from Morbonia hospital
last evening regarding the condition
of George Meyers told of little
change. Meyers is able to talk. but
the nurse in charge does not believe
that he realizes he has been hurt.
He still refuses to take food, but
feeding by artificial means is prov
ing successful and life may be con-
tinued indefinitely unless n collapse
comes from some other cause. His
condition is still considered critical
and such a collapse may come at any
time. But the mysteriousness of his
condition has not been lessened.

Never in Davenport sick room has
there been such a demonstration of
the eternal springtime of love as at
the Littig home, from which the ven
cradle Mrs. August w. Littig was re-
moved by death yesterday. Mr.. and
Mrs. Iittig were taken i'll about the
same time with pneumonia. They re-
fused to he separated, and the physi-
slams and nurses administered to
both at the same time. 1t was
best to place them in sepa-
rate rooms. but each responded with
n firm declination. When it was seen
how dangerously i'll the aged wife
was, second bed was brought into
the room and she was placed upon il.
But their tender regard for each 9th
err did not wane with the progress of
the disease. Nnen MI IilliE dSIN
frame was racked with Il coughing
spell, the devoted wife. i'll as she was,
would endeavor to raise herself and
look at her husband. When II was
she who suffered audibly, Mr.. Littig
would raise himself in bed and turn
his grief-stricken eyes toward his
lifelong companion. Their love is
like that of a newly married couple
was remarked. But, no, the love of
the honeymoon never knew such
depths or devoutness as this. The
love of springtime had mellowed and
with the lifetime of tidel-
ity until its greatness belonged not
tn this world but to the next. Mrs.
Littig's funeral occurs tomorrow af-
ternoon.
