OBITUARY..
CrandeII,

Word received at the home in Rey
nolds today brought news of the sud
den death at Madison, Ind, where he
was visiting, of Melville Crandell, the
well known druggist. Though details
are lacking, it is presumed that par
alysis, with which Mr.. Crandell had
suffered in the past, was the cause
of death. Mr.. Crandell was about 65
years of age and had been resident
of this county for many years. He re-
tired from active business only a few
years ago. He is survived by his wife,
a son, Walter of New York, and two
daughters, Vina and Edith, both at

Much interest was manifested in this
contest throughout the state, as the

Davenport high school took the Mo

the game at Moline yesterday after

If an all-star gridiron team was
picked from the high schools through

Copenhagen.

A Copenhagen correspondent states
that the constant prospect of bombs
or other unwelcome disturbers Of do
nestle peace has so effected the nerve,
of the Dowager Empress Dagmar,
mother OF the Russian car, that she
wants to reside In England for the
rest Of her life. She would like to be
near her sister, the Queen of England,
for the rest OF her life. She believes
that she would enjoy the quieter socia,
life OF England, but the car declines
to sanction the plan, presumably for
political reasons. The Russian en-
peror is said to fairly worship his
mother, but that he does not see hls
way clear to allow her to 60 to Eng
lsud to reside. Thus II will be plain
ly seen that even the freedom Of royal
ty is very limited.

guard of Pennsylvania have been in
camp for a week and which was Wis
tied by a terrific electrical and wind
storm, shows that three soldiers were
struck dead by lightning and that
nearly a half hundred persons were
injured by the electrical bolts or were
otherwise hurt. 1t was probably the
widest night the historic battle-ground

July days of 1863. Those killed were:
Corporal c. Milton CARRIER, Company
C., Tenth regiment, Washington;
James A. Barbe. Company X. Tenth
regiment, Waynesburg, and Private
Clyde Morrison, Company d, Sixteenth
regiment, Oil City.
The dead were members of the Sec

from the western part of the state,
most of the storm damage occurring
in the section of the field occupied by
that brigade
The tent which Governor Stuart had
been occupying during the weeks en-
campment was blown down by the
terrific wind and the governor and
those who were his guests at the time
were buried under the canvas. With
the governor were Charles B. Mann Of
the state railroad commission, Colonel
Good of the First regiment, Philadel.
phia, and Captain p. l.. Weaver, for
merly of the First regiment. They
were all thrown to the ground by the
falling canvas, but managed to craw,

Bays Michael Alger, the well known
Christiania correspondent: when
Bishop Bang returned he brought with
him rare gift to the library OF the
Norwegian university. It was set Of
G. A. Andsley's The Ornamental Arts

Olaf o. Searle, OF Minneapolis. Only
fifty copies Of this elaborate work

been prohibitive. The chief librarian
of the university. Sigv. Petersen, has
made the receipt OF this valuable gift
known through the press, saying: IT

Der his native country with such
gift, which most likely would never
have become the gift Of the university

hers. Andres was furious over this
defiance, and Oct. 81. 1857, he returned

body Of soldiers and demapded in
slant surrender of the charter, which
lay In box on the table. A hot dis
cussion followed. Finally Andres
stretched out his hand to, seize the
disputed paper. Then the candles
were suddenly extinguished, and. the
people who had gathered on the street
outside rushed in disorderi4 crowd
into the hall. There was period Of
wild confusion in the dark, and when
the candles were finally relighted no
charter was to- DO found. It had been
removed by Captain Wadsworth and
