William Charles Durkee Sum-
moned This Morning.
VICTIM OF BRiGHT'S DISEASE
Had Held the Position of Treasurer
But Short Time; An Excellent
Yonng Man.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
William Charles Durkee, city treasur
er of Mankato died this morning at $50
O'Clock of Bright's disease at the resi-
dence of his mother, Mrs. Mary A. Dur
kee, l39 Clark street Mr.. Durkee had
been ailing for several years and about
three years ago he was confined to his
home for long time with kidney
trouble. OF late he had suffered ter
ribly with that dreaded disease and
about two weeks ago he was compelled
to give up his work at the treasurer's
office and retire to his home, Miss Ger
trude Durkee, sister of the deceased,
faithfully performing his work in the
treasurer's office, during his absence.
The deceased was twenty nine years
old and he was born and raised in Man
kato. He entered the public schools at
an early age and was bright student,
but was compelled to leave the schools
shortly after he entered the grammar
grade on account of sickness. Mr.. Dur
kee was a clever young man and he had
a great many friends who were very
sorry to hear of his death.
1t was not generally known that Mr..
Durkee was i'll and the announcement of
his death this morning was shock to
many people who held the young man in
the highest esteem.
Mr. Durkee was elected to the office
of city treasurer last April, and his
term would not have expired until a
year from next April. He was con-
sistent republican in politics. His cleo
tion last spring was the result of a
hard fought contest, he being opposed
by Mr.. Throdahl, who had held the po-
sition two terms.
Deceased is survived by mother,
three sisters and a cousin, Miss Ella
belle Coe, who makes her home with
Mrs. Durkee. The sisters are Mrs. H.
F. Waring of Halifax, Nova Scotia;
Miss Gertrude Durkee of this city and
Miss Emma Durkee of st. Paul.
The funeral will be held Saturday af
ternoon and Rev. E. M. Martinson, of
the Baptist church will conduct the
services.

pecialy now that the severity OF the

A quantity of lava is flowing down the

over the district in the vicinity. The
stream of lava is assuming alarming pro-
portions, and the eruption is accompan-
led by loud decorations, which shake
the houses in surrounding villages. 1t
is believed the eruption has some physi-
cal connection with the earthquake
