New Providence, Feb. 2S.--The body
Of Mrs. vess Moon, the wife of prom
inent farmer living near this place,
was found in the water tank Mt their
home this morning. There was no APP
parent reason for suicide aud the fam
ily believe that the woman met her
death while walking in her sleep. Mrs.
Moon went to bed as usual last night
and was APPARENTLY in good health
and so far as is known gave no indica-
ton Of dependency. Some time In the
night she disappeared but was not
missed untif an early hour this morn
ing. when her husband discovered she
had left the room. The family was
summoned and a search begun. Her
body was discovered about o'clock
by the hired man. She had not Dress
ed herself, having on only her night
dress when found. She was the
rnother of large family and was about
SIS years of age. The children and hus-
band do not believe that she committed
suicide, but express the opinion that
she walked into the tank while asleep
and that the shock OF the cold water
probably rendered her unconscious be-
for. she realized her danger. Many
think the woman committed suicide. 1t
IS lorobable an inquest will be held.

Burlington, Feb. 2S.-Reports from
the south and north show serious dan
ger near in the rising of the big river
and its tributaries. With few more
days of warm weather the ice Will so
out and when this occurs, the smaller
streams will leave their banks and
flood the adjacent country. AT Oquaw-
ka, Henderson creek is already beyond
the fording point and cannot be
crossed for miles on either side of
Oquawka. Near Fort Madison the
Skunk river is assuming alarming pro-
portions and the little river will go out
of bounds with the breaking of the Ice,
causing immense damage to the low

rains this season. grave fears are en-
tertained over the flood outlook, and
old time rivermen predict 1T will be one

Civic Federation Opens Fight for Re.

form Begun by Billy Sunday.
keokuk, Feb. 27.--rhe formation of
a civic federation is now engaging the
minds of Keokuk people. A petition
has been signed. meeting held and
preliminary measures are now being
taken for the holding of an organiza-
ton meeting next week.
The petition, or pledge, as follows,
shows the object of the declarations:
I'VE, the undersigned, declare our
selves in favor of the enforcement Of
the laws governing the community,
and hereby pledge ourselves to compel
and sustain the officers chosen and
sworn to such duty in the enforcement
Of such laws. particularly the laws
governing gambling and disorderly
houses, and the mulct law governing
saloons. We agree to use every effort,
moral, material and political, to bring
about such enforcement
The meeting held by the signers of
this petition was presided over by
Judge III. II. Trimble and took a rath-
err more conservative view then the
pledge would indicate, tho one of
the speakers declared that the people
could impeach the city council, and
especially the mayor for the manner
in which the saloon question has been
handled.
BILLY" Sundays advent into Kso-
kuk somewhat quickened the moral
sentiment on the subject, and while
Difference for the law has been in the
hearts of many of the people all along,
the other side so dominated local poll
teal conditions that the voice for law
would be drowned out by the louder
and more vociferous and defiant cries
of Down with the law."
AS the election for city officers, in
Guiding q mayor, occurs on the first
Monday in April, the city and ward

Iowa city, Feb. 2S.---There will prob
ably be trouble in the state teams this
year over the playing of Yank Brown
by the Agricultural College For the
past four years Brown has been sus-
pected of being a professional and last
season he played openly with the Oma-
ha and Des Moines league teams. Ames
has intimated that they intended to
play him, because as yet the Iowa
College Association has come to no
conclusion as to professionalism. "A
ruled waa offered making any act OF
professionalism committed previous TO
1904 as not counting, and that only Of
lenses committed since that time
should be sufficient to bar man. The
state university refused to adopt any
such rule and tie matter has hung fire
ever since. 1t is probable that the uni
versity will not play Ames If the latter
school insists on playing Brown.
John G. Chalmers will probably sue
coed himself as athletic coach of the
State University of Iowa, a position
which he has occupied for the past two
years At the last meeting of the board
of control, he was offered the position
at the same salary, $4,000 per year. or
this amount $1,000 is paid by the state
and $500 by the Athletic Union. 1t Is
said that Chalmers desired an increase
of $500 this year. but that while the
board would have liked to give him the
advance, they decided not to do so in
view of the increased expense incurred
in hiring a gymnasium director and
track coach. Chalmers has not accept
ed the offer of the board Fas yet, but 1t
is probable that he will do so.
