PETTY OFFICERS OF NAVAL
MILITIA TO BE EXAMINED

The Naval Reserves of this city have
their annual tour of duty on the train
ship Dorothea on Lake Michigan
the week beginning Sept. s. The out
ing will be similar to that of other
years in the main. One departure that
is known of at the present time is an
examination of the petty officers,
which will take place under the state
officers.
Each petty officer will be examined
according to the position he holds
and failure to pass, it is supposed, will
result in loss of rank. Therefore,
there is likely to be some brushing
up" where the members of the various
divisions feel that they are weak. The
officers will this year receive a slight
advance in pay over that of former
years, during the time they are out.

SERVICE FOR DEAD
Electrical Workers Held Memor.
ial at the Christian
Church.
LODGES ATTENDED IN A BODY
Memory of l.. B. Cornwall, T. r.
Berquist and 8. Fl. Lenny
Honored.

At the Memorial Christian church
last evening special memorial services
were held for l.. b. Cornwall, Spencer
IL. Lenny and T. r. Berquist, the three
electrical workers who recently lost
their lives by accidents. Between $50
and 200 members of Lodges No. 100,
154 and 27S of the international
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
attended in a body. The music was
appropriate to the occasion, and be
sides anthems by the choir there was
a vocal solo, Gods Acre. by Miss
Penquite, of CoIfaX, Iowa, and who is
visiting in the city. Besides the lodge
members and their friends many 9TH
ers were present so that the church
was well filled.
Rev. Lawrence Speaks.
Rev. o. w. Lawrence, pastor of the
church, gave 4 summary of the life
of each of the men. and in each case
related the incidents connected with
the sorrowful tragedies. He said of
Cornwall and Lenny that they were
martyrs of progress. The great place
occupied in modern progress by cleo
tricity was pointed out, and in that
connection thanks were due not only
to the scientists and inventors in the
laboratories, but also to the great
army of workers, who made practical
application possible. Rev. Lawrence
thought in the case of Berquist, who
lost his life while attempting a high
dive At Grand Island on the Fourth of
July, no blame should be attached to
him for his act, but society should be
criticised for requiring men to risk
their lives to afford entertainment
The unfortunate man was commended
for his courage under circumstances
which induced him to adopt that
means of assisting him in obtaining n
livelihood. The uneXpectedness of
death and the lessons to be drawn by
the living were pointed out, as well as
the insecurity of all transient things.
