Our citizens Tuesday morning were
shocked and panied beyond measure to
learn of the tragic death OF Lieutenant

at Fort Leayenworth, Kan. Monday
afternoon.
Lieutenant Bower was struck 10y
lightning. As second Lieutenant OF
the Engineer Corps he was on the fir
ing line with his men and was watch
ing the targets through field glass
when the lightning struck out OF al
most clear sky.
The Lieutenant was holding tho
rife under his right arm. The bolt OF
lightning ran down the rife barrel en-
tering the right side of the chest and
passing out of the soles of the officer
shoes, a wide red scar showing the
path of the current Lieutenant Han.
nun, who was with the unfortunate
officer sustained slight shock.
Lieutenant Bower is son of Mr..

burg, this county, where the uufor-
tunate young officer was born and
spent his boyhood He graduated from
the Danville High school in 1896.
From his earliest childhood he was
distinguished by the most studious and
exemplary habits At the local high
school he graduated at the head OF his
class and carried OF a prize.
He taught school one year, after
which he won an appointment to West

which took in applicants from every
part of the Congressional District
He graduated from West Point in 1901

Less than two years ago he perfect

of an arm rest for an army saddle,
which is designed to assist an officer
in making a sketch of contour while
on horseback. The invention is pro-
tected by patent and has been adopted
by the government The young officer
based great expectations upon this in
vention, which was already beginning
to yield a revenue.
Lieutenant Bower visited his parents
here only few months ago and while
in Danville was interviewed by rep
resentative of the Morning News. He
was then very hopeful as to the future
and gave fine account of what was
being done by the government in di fl.
erent parts of the West to advance thC
interest of the army, all of which was
printed in these columns at the time.
Lieutenant Bower was % years OF
age. In addition to his father and
mother, he is survived by the follow
ing brothers and sisters: Rev. Samue.

pital for the Insane Bessie, school
teacher of Liberty township, and Alice

deceased officer is a first cousin oI

FELL THROUGH FOR
 LACK OF FUNDS.

It is evident that the public nnisun- derstood the vote passed last fall by the board of public works authorizing the engineer to install water motor in the basement of the bureau of en- gineering for the purpose of furnish Ing pawer to enable the department to sharpen tools and do such other work in that line as might turn up from time to time. Tn addition to this MT Cairns had a plan for the installation of motor to manufacture electricity for use in the city hall, the annex building, the police station and the Leavenworth street engine house. This last mentioned scheme fell through for lack of funds, although it would have saved the city lots of money. The plant could have been installed for $5,Ooo. It costs about $1,OoO or S1 200 year for lights in these buildings It was said to-day that the present char ter of the trolley company denies the right to manufacture electricity in small or large quantities and that it would be we'll te look up the law on that matter before spending a cent on such a project. The factories have rights in this respect which the city does not enjoy.

 Official sentiment here Is somewhat reassured concerning the United States note to the powers on the subject of nuetrality and integrity of China, United States Ambassador Porter having pointed out that the powers have a common interest in keeping China neu- tral. Foreign Minister Delcasse evinces the utmost desire to cooperate with the United States so long as noth- ing inimica1 to Russia Is done. The friendly sentiments of the French government towards the United States are indicated by the message of both President Loubet and M. Delcasse con- cerning the Baltimore disaster.

New York. Feb. 11.--War in the far east has already affected the silk piece goods market of the United States. The majority of the prominent em- porting houses have just announced advances of 10 per cent. on Habutai and other silk fabrics manufactured ill Japan. They give as their reason that fact that many of the operatives and skilled hands in the factories have been drafted for war purposes and their places cannot be filled.

The body was burned beyond recognition of the features. If the theory of the police and the husband is true. de- Aberate attempt to get possession of the body in order to obtain the money found on it has been uncovered.
