DEEP WATER
Peter Zonechias browns After
Jumping into the Quarry
Hole.
BODY TAKEN OUT WITH HOOK
Comes In Contact With Cold Water
From Springs-About 10 Feet
Deep.

Jumping into the water in the old
quarry at Sylvan island, near the east
ern city limits, Peter Zonechias, a
Greed laborer, sank to the bottom OF
the pit and a short time later his body
was pulled out with drag hook The
young man, with several other Greek
laborers who live in the little huts
near the tail race, went to the quarry
hole yesterday afternoon about
O'Clock, intending to enjoy a bath and
swim in the cool water. Zonechias had
removed his clothing and leaped into
the water He sank to the bottom and
did not rise TO the surface again. His
friends, becoming alarmed, summoned
the Moline police and workmen nearby,
and in a short time recovered the mans
lifeless body.
Water is Cold.
The water is about eighteen feet
deep at this place, and is extremely
cold, being supplied from several
springs at the bottom. 1t is probable
that in reality the young mans death
was due to some other cause than the
filling of the lungs with water, probably
to the shock of the sudden contact with
the extremely cold water. Zonechias
was % years of age, and had been in
this country only about eighteen

physicians. His condition was due to
advancing years. Heart failure, fol-
lowing long period of increasing
physical weakness, finally caused his
death. His age was seventy-tWo years.
Improvement Shown at First.
For some time after Congressman
Hits arrival here he showed i'm
provement, but few weeks ago most
serious symptoms were noted. Subse-
quent treatment seemed to have little
beneficial effect, although the service
of a specialist constantly was sought.
There was no alarming sudden change
and immediate death was not expect
ed. A collapse due to heart weakness
came during the morning hours, with
fatal result.
Robert Roberts Hit was born at
Urbania, O., Jan. 16, 1884, and moved
with his parents to Ogle county, ILL.,,
three years later. He was educated
at the Rock River seminary and De-
pauw university. Mr.. Hits first pub
lie position was as secretary of lega-
tion at Paris in 1874. He remained
there until 1881, when he became as
sistant secretary of state. He was
elected congressman in the same year
and has been continuously reelected.
He would have been renominated fer
the Sixtieth congress but i'll health
forced him to decline He was chair
man of the committee on foreign af-
fairs of the Fifty-sixth congress. In
1898 President Mckinley appointed
him one of the commissioners to es-
tablish the government of Hawaii.

POPULAR IN CONGRESS.
Representative Hit Had Friendship
Of Men of All Parties.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Ill health,
continuing through two years at least,
which for the most part untitled him
for his congressional duties, had afflict-
ed Representative Hit SO that his de-
mise was not altogether unexpected
here. In fact, the greater part of the
work of the important committee of
foreign affairs of the house Of repre-
sentatiyes, Of which Mr.. Hit was
chairman, was during the entire last
session of congress discharged first
by Representative Robert Adams Of
Pennsylvania up to the time of his
tragic death last spring and after
wards by Representative Cousins of
Iowa, Charles Landis of Indiana and
Perkins of New York
Mr.. Hit was one of the popular men
in congress, his friendship including
men of all parties, and because Of his
wide experience and ability he was
always listened to with the greatest of
attention when he dealt with matters
pertaining to foreign affairs

Tobacco a Powerful Disinfectant.

The London Lancet has been max
ing some experiments to test the
truth of the popular belief that tobac-
co smoke is a disinfectant. These ex-
periments, says the Medical Journal,
seem to confirm the observation that
one of the principal constituents ac-
counting for the germicidal properties
of tobacco smoke is the powerful
antiseptic formaldehyde. The amount
present is more than just appreciable,
for If water through which a few
puffs of tobacco smoke have been
passed is tested for formaldehyde the
result is striking positive. The
quantity of formaldehyie in tobacco
smoke would appear to depend on
the quality and kind of tobacco smok-
ed. Thus the cigar appears to yield
more formaldehyde than the pipe,
and the pipe more than the cigarette.
It has more than once been stated
that tobacco smokers enjoy an i'm
1EOul CCIUdllA O1SCdSCSs dl1S UIO
frequent presence of powerful anti
septic in the mouth, nasal passages
and sometimes the lungs Gas in the
case of those who foolishly inhale
tobacco smokey would to some extent
Justify the statement. Formaldehyde
is one of the most powerful disinfect-
ants we possess, one part in 10000
parts of water serving to destroy all
microbes, while such diluted solution
has practically no poisonous action on
the human organism. All the same,
it is most undesirable that this fact
should stimulate the practice of smok-
ing tobacco to absurd excess, for to-
bacco poisoning is a greater reality
than many persons think.
