Not a Relative Present.

The arrangements for the funeral of
Senator William b. Allison were com
pleted today at a meeting of his friends
There was not a relative to consult,
not a single wish to consider outside of
the desires of the host of friends in
Dubuque and Washington and through
out Iowa.
The Allison home today is in charge
of the few intimate friends of Senator
Allison. The house, draped in mourn
ing, is fairly filed with flowers and the
body of the aged senator. prepared for
burial, will be laid in state for several
hours later in the week.

were walking up and down the wide
main street of this town along the lake
shore and making merry in anticipa-

Since early morning automobiles and
carriages had been coming into town
and speeding through the streets. whilst
peasants from the surrounding country

Lonely Declining Years.

loneliness of his later years. Friends
are there-he had a legion-and ii is
they who are arranging for the Obse-
quies over the remains of Iowa's dis
tinguished senator who had passed his
life so much in the hands of the pub

all sacrificed by Senator Allison for the
public welfare.
Senator Allison was more than a
public man: he was the publics man.
He belonged to them. They will bury
him as he would be buried by throngs
of his neighbOrs and friends.

Wild Excitement.


This intelligence Travelled like Wild
fire down the main street. Some people
would not believe ii and declared that
it was a bad joke. but the doubters
were soon silenced by the pitiful ex-
pressions on the faces of the employees
OF Count Zeppelin, who rushed about
with every evidence of CONSERVATION
Many curses went UP from the dense
crowd congregated around the offices of
the count. and the people demanded to
know If he was safe. They were told
he was, but the latest bulletin from
Echterdingen said that four men had
been badly burned. Maybe some ras-
cal set the balloon on fire." some one
volunteered excitedly, and this proba-
bility was discussed for some moments.
Throughout the crowd there were fire.

his magnificent airship
Just then the counts daughter ar
rived in her carriage, she still being in
ignorance of the end of her fathers
voyage and of the blasting. at least for
a time, of his greatest ambition A
hush fell over the masses as the count
ess alighted. and in wonderment at
their strange attitude toward her, she
went inside her fathers office. Soon
afterward she was heard to cry: THAT
will kill him"
This was followed by an outburst of
sobbing, and the people who had been
lettering about the building silently
moved away some distance TO get be-
yond hearing of her distressful cries.
Explosion of Benzine.
The next message received from the
scene of the disaster said that a thun-
derstorm upset quantity of benzine,
which ignited and caused a great ex-
plosion, and that the great airship was
destroyed.
After reading this bulletin the people
moved in long lines down the streets
of the town toward the railroad station
and the steamship docks along the lake
front. while automobiles scurried off in
all directions. some of them even head
ing for Echterdlngen. The music of the
bands was hushed and the musicians
silently packed away their instruments,
while the villagers Immediately began
taking down the flags and festoons
which had been hung in honor of the
expected homecoming of the daring
aeronaut and his wonderful invention.
