DOUBT ABOUT A.DEATH

Head Oficers of Society at Spring.
field Order an Invests
CATION.

1t appears not unlikely that the
Court of Honor, in which William
Noreen was insured for $4,000, will
demand more positive identification
of the body before the amount of the
claim is paid to the beneticiaries. 1t
develops that there is some room for
doubt in regard to the Identification
of the remains found at Buffalo Mon
day and buried in Riverside cemetery
at Moline Wednesday as those of the
missing man and the proof of death
is therefore not conclusive.
Upon being appraised of the circum-
stances surrounding the supposed
death the officers of the society at
Springfield ordered that an investi-
CATION be made and counsel was ac-
cordingly retained for that purpose
The investigation has not yet been
completed and what the finding viii
be is still matter of doubt. 1t is
claimed that couple of the young
mans relatives examined the cloth
ing and one or two articles that were
found on the body after it had been
eXhumed from the temporary grave
at Buffalo and brought to this city.
Buried In Family Lot.
So far as they We're concerned they
were satisfied that the body was that
of William Noreen and it was buried
in the family lot upon that assump-
ton. OF course the Court of Honor
will demand positive evidence. of
Identification before the claim is paid.

HENDERSON RESCUED
BY THE FERRY ROBINSON

There are many advantages in
owning n steamboat and having it
handy in cases of emergency. as Capt.
NJ. l.. Henderson demonstrated this
morning. The captain went aboard
the Diamond 10 packet Dubuque,
which came down from the north
while she was lying at the Rock ISL
and levee. 1t happened that there
were not many passengers to get off
and on. and the amount of freight to
handle was small, the boat did not
stop over five minutes. So while the
captain was attending to the bust
ness that took him aboard the big
packet backed out into the stream
and turned her nose toward the Cres-
cent bridge.
Now Capt. Henderson had no ticket
and he did not want to go to Musca-
tine. the next stopping place. any
way. The predicament appeared Sc
rous for a minute, but fortunately
the captains resources included a
steamboat. and ii was not far away.
AS soon as the situation WIS eX-
planned to the officers of the Dubuque
the big whistle was cut loose, and
when the attention of the pilot on
the ferry. T. j. Robinson. was called,
he was signalled to come to the res
cue. There was an answering foot
or two that is said to have expressed
something of jealousy that the mas
ter of the ferry should be caught rid
ing on another craft, and the faith
full old boat fairly tore loose from
her moorings and leaped over the
waves to bring the captain away.

the second. He instructs them as to
the doctrine they should preach.
With Christ came the gospel of hui
man brotherhood, and the elevation
of woman. With Christ came the
highest civilization; came Calvary's
atoning sacrifice for sin; came vic
tory over death and the grave. Never
i'm the history of the world has there
been n louder voice calling for I'M

opening before the educated young
men and women of today" He gave
as an illustration of receiving and Civ
ing the Dead Sea to the lake. There
is no outlet; it receives but does not
give. This illustrates n persons life
whose efforts terminate and center
upon self. The sermon was full of
good thought for the young people.
