MAY NOT HAVE
BEEN SLAYER OF NIEBERT

At Muscatine the police are not so
sure, after all, that the suicide of
Patrick McGrath- and his confession
at Kansas City explains the killing of
Officer Neibert in 1895, of which Me-
Grath claimed guilt. 1t has been
pretty well established that the man
who killed the policeman was shot in
the back in the encounter. but an eX-
animation of McGrath's body fails to
show a scar such as the shooting
would have caused. 1t is still held by
some that the killing of the officer
was done by Charles Hurley, who has
not been accounted for.

TO ELECT
NEW BISHOPS THIS YEAR
Politics Church Promise Grow Warmer as the
Date of the Conference at Los Angeles
Approaches.

Interest among Methodists is large
! ~ directed toward the conference that
will be held at Los Angeles in May,
and at which the election of five
bishops will take place.
The church press and daily papers
are now canvassing the question in
various parts of the country. and poll
tics of the churche promises to be
spirited before the close of the con-
ference
The question which arises in con-
nection with the bishopric is as to who
will be retired. The average age of
the fifteen bishops now in full orders
is GO. Bishop Hamilton is the only
member of the board under 60. and he
is termed the episcopal baby by his
colleagues. Bishop Merrill, of Chicago
is the senior bishop of the church, and
he is past rs. He has decided to ask
for approximation. He has been one
of the legal lights of the church for
three decades. and no one understands
the church constitutional law and his
tory better than he. Bishop Andrews
of New York, is but n few months
younger than Bishop Merrill, but in
vigorous health. He thinks he can
stand four more years of labor for the
church he loves. He is popular in the
east. and New York will work TO have
him retained on the active list, but il
is felt by many that he should retire
while still in the zenith of his glory
and not grow decrepit in office.
Bishops Mallalieu and Vincent, who
have been attending to the confer
ences in Europe during the past four
years, are broken in health and may
ask to be retired. Bishop Walden will
probably be retired. 1t seems likely
therefore. that five will be superannu-
ated on comfortable allowance. Two
active bishops, Ninde and Hurst, have
died during the quadrennium and one.
Bishop Foster. of Boston. has retired.
At Least seven Vacancies.
II will thus be seen that II will be
necessary TO elect at least six or seven
bishops This would make no provi-
sion for the recent growth of the
church nor for its future growth. One
eminent authority in the east states
that at least 20 should be elected,
while Bishop McCabe in his enthusi-
assn puts the number even higher than
this. In 1872 eight were elected: in
1850. four; in 1884. five; in 1896. two:
in 1900. two. In 1876 and in 1892 none
were elected. Since 1855 but four have
been chosen.
This accounts for the advanced age
of the present bishops. To remedy
this a large number of young men
must be elevated TO this high office.

A RIVER TRAGEDY
Prominent Chicago Woman browns
While Swimming in thu River at
Fort Madison - Tho Case Rather
Strange One.

TT. Madison, Aug. 23.-.A deplorable
accident occurred near this place Sat
urday at 11:45 a. m, by which Mrs.
Dollie Ottinger, of Chicago, lost her
/ life in the Mississippi river. Early
Saturday morning a party OF young
people left here in the lauIlch Flirt, OF
Burlington, in charge OF the owner,
Capt James Knoener, the following
composing the party: C. s. Nelson, a
local stock buyer for the Armour Pack
ing Company; A. v. Hunt. travelling
salesman for the Cassidy Commission
Company; Charles w. Ross, one Of the
proprietors of the Mirror show here
during the street fair: Mrs. Dollie OF
finger and Mrs. Harry Moore, OF Chi
cago, and the Misses Daisy Johnson
and Anna Barr Of this city.
The party stopped at shndbar near
the upper end of Dutchman island, and
prepared to go in bathing. Mrs. OF
finger and Miss Anna Barr waded out
into the water, both having life pre-
servers from the boat. Mrs. Ottinger
claimed she could swim and gave Miss
Barr both life preservers and they kept
ON wading away from the other parties.
After they had gone quitA distance
the attention of those on shore was
called to them. The latter called to the
women with a megaphone but received
no answer and as they wer. seen float
ing down stream the party on shore
started after them with the launch.
Before the launch reached them both
disappeared and it was supposed they
had landed on Dutchman island and
were waiting for the boat.
A little later, however, the crowd
sighted Miss Bar some distance ahead.
who was still floating. They overlook
her and helped her into the launch in
an exhausted condition. After she was
revived she told the party Mrs. OF
finger had given out and sank. and that
when she came up she threw Mrs. OF
finger the extra life preserver, which
she attempted to grasp but missed it.
Mrs. Ottinger grasped Miss Bars feet
as she went down again, pulling her
under. Miss Barr released herself and
came to the surface. and that was the
last she saw Of Mrs. Ottinger.
In a few minutes Mrs. Otringer's head
was seen above water still floating.
The launch was started after her and
overlook her. The men pulled her into
the launch, where every effort was
made to resuscitate her.
1t is said to be an unusual thing for
a person to come to the surface at
once after being drowned and it is be-
lieved by many that the woman died
of heart trouble, caused by the ex-
element

necessary to know this In order that
proper bail might be fixed It is fur
Their set out that altho this message OF
inquiry was sent to Boone and re-
ceived by the defendant company at
o'clock on the evening of April 81, 1T
was not delivered to addressed until
late the following day. H. is alleged
that Sheriff Foster was lii town and
there was no reason why he should
not have have received the message
promptly. Because of the alleged neg
lgence of the defendant telegraph
company, plaintiff was obliged to re-
main over night in jail. because the
form of bond necessary could not be
drawn without information from
Boone.
Yeaman who was formerly an at
torney at Boone, was arrested and
taken back there, charged with &C
cepting stolen property. THE case was
continued and he is now out on bail.

TRIED WHOLESALE BURGLARY.
Thieves at Davenport Had $1,000 Worth
Of Goods Packed When Interrupt

Special to Times-hepublican.
Davenport, Aug. 23.-Burglars en-
tered the store OF Louis Hanssens Sons
213 West Second street. some time be-
tween Saturday night and Sunday NOR
ming.
Goods to the value of $1,000 had
been packed in bags and the burglars
were about to get away with their
plumber. when they were evidently
frightened away and dropped the bags
on the street.
The attempted burglary bears all OF
the earmarks OF being done by the
same men who entered the jewelry
store OF Stark & Russer, short time
ago.
The attempted burglary was discov-
cred by Greeks, living next door at
o'clock Sunday morning and 1t Is
thought they were the means Of fright
ening the robbers away.
In loading the plumber the thieves
used fine discrimination and only the
most valuable and easily packed arti-
cIes were taken. 1t is thought also that
the men who perpetrated the deed must
have become thoroughly acquainted
with the store. as they were able to find
all of the valuable stock that had been
stored away.

NEW FLANGE BRICK.
Great Improvement For Paving Along
Street Car Tracks.
.ssf1eeial 10 irnaa-lsennhlican

Special to metropolitan.
Davenport. Aug. 2S.-The new fialige
brick which is being used by the D;lv-
export Improvement Company along
the street car tracks on Hershey aye
nue. Is said to be a great Improvement
The brick has recently been invented
for the Burlington Brick Company and
proves q great success. The brick is
moulded In such a way as to fit under
the upper ..T'' on the outside OF the
street car rails and make the upper
edge of the brick come even with the
top of the rail. thus making it very
easy for vehicles to pass over 1t. On
the inside edge of the rail the brick
have been moulded in such way as to
leave a narrow gorge along the track
and in this way make the track per-
fectly safe for buggies to go over 1t.
Another great advantage which these
bricks afford is that they will not pull
out in a short time as they are hooked
under the rail. 1t is said that these
bricks have never been used in this
city before and the people who have
seen them are we'll satisfied with the
result OF the experiment.
