as the representative of the national
administration, with instructions from

loss to the government buildings not
so heavy as early reports indicated.

Industrial and commercial losses are
appalling. There is no suffering from

pie Is excellent. The people are con-
f1dent and hopeful. The secretary

crat, temporary chairman, but Darrow
refused to give up the chair and Scott

AffIiction With EpiIeptic Spell.

Special to mes-Republican.
Davenport, April 27.-Miss Margaret
M. German, residing in this city with
her sister, Mrs. Patrick Dixon, met a
tragic death by drowning, which it is

fully five minutes before her disappear
ance was discovered. DR.. Speers was

no purpose.

a trap door about two feet square. 1t
was thru this door that Miss German
fell and she was drowned before help
reached her. Mrs. Dixon was in the
front part Of the house at the time.
Miss German left her and entered the
kitchen, supposedly only for few mo-
ments. Not returning soon, Mrs. Dix
on became alarmed and instituted a
search, with the result that the lifeless
body was discovered in the cistern.
Coroner Lambaeh was notified Of the
occurrence, but did not deem an in
quest necessary, and signed the death
certificate attributing the fatality to ac-
cidental drowning by falling into cis-
tern.
The deceased was 48 years of age
and had never been married. She has
been a subject of epileptic spells for
the past twenty-five years and has for
many years past made her home with
her sister.
The survivors are are the sister. Mrs.
Patrick Dixon, and one brother. 8.
