the pioneer priest of Davenport. The

Catholic insurance organization in
the west now having 100000 members.

With the release of the FroeschI
and Carstens families from quaran-
tine year ago Friday the city was
free from smallpox until Dec. -four
xs-hn hn 20
West Fourth street imported fresh
crop direct from Des Moines. Since
then it has been with us continually,
and bids fair to remain unless an in
crease in severity should bring out
citizens gradually to the aid of the
health board in trying to stamp it
out. Taking the country over the
death rate since Jan. 1 from smallpox
has been about 3% per cent.

The body of the late Julius SchIue-
ter, the unfortunate carpenter who
was drowned a week ago last Sunday
down near Sun Fish lake, has not yet
been recovered, and no further hope
exists that it will be recognizable
when it is found because of the tenn
perature of the water. Koltzau d
Meyers, the contractors for whom
Mr.. Schlueter worked for five years,
have circulated a subscription on be-
half of the bereaved widow and or
phaned children. The firm headed
the list with $25, and Mr.. Koltzau
banked $50 for the family Saturday.
The cause is worthy one and con-
tributors TO the fund are many.

Sunday afternoon the almost life
less body of Emil c. Brockmann,
cigarmaker and musician, was found
hanging in the attic of his living
apartments over the Brockmann
cigar factory at 1872 Brady street. y
cigarmaker working in the establish
ment lifted up the body and cut it
down just i'm the nick of time. The
mans name is Ben Fullendorf. DIR.
Hender was called, as also Drs. Kulp
and Bracelin, and together the three
physicians worked over the
would-be suicide until he re-
gained consciousness. just after 1
o'clock the attention of young lady
was attracted by a noise in the attic
and she started to investigate. She
discovered the body and raised the
alarm, which summoned the cigar
maker, who promptly cut down the
body, thus saving Mr.. Brockmann
from the consequence of his rash act.
No reason save that of grief over the
death of his wife, who is deceased
about two years ago, is assigned for
the deed.
