chairmen of the Different Tag Day
Corners Met With Mrs. E.. s.
Baker This Afternoon to
Count Money.
s617.79 TAKEN IN LAST YR.
It Was Hoped to Have All Of tho
Coin Counted This After
noon by the Hour Of
Four O'clock.

Tag day in Keokuk was a great sue
cess and the many ladies stationed at
different business corners, hotels,
union station and otaer places were en-
inently successful in their efforts to
raise funds for the Birge home for ell
derly women yesterday morning and
afternoon.
A meeting of the chairmen of the
different corners, from Third to
Twelfth street on Main was held this
afternoon at tle home of Mrs. Eugene
S. Baker, No. 623 North Fourth street.
The meeting this afternoon was for
the purpose of counting the money in
the little yellow boxes to acser-
tain the amount contributed by the
many who wore tae charity tags yes
terday and gave toward good and
worthy cause The chairmen of the
corners met at the Baker residence at
2:30 this afternoon and it was hoped
to have all the money counted by four
o'clock so that statement could be
made tomorrow.
Whether the young ladies were as
successful this year as last when they
sold the little diamond shaped red and
black lettered tags, can not of course
be known unit. after the contents of
the boxes have been counted this af-
ternoon. From the fact that every one
on the street almost without exception
wore yellow tag yesterday, is evil
dence that goodly sum has been
raised
There are twenty or more boxes
with money in to be counted and after
the counting has been finished by
the money counters, the hour will be
turned into social gathering and
refreshments and a pleasant time en-.
joyed by the ladies at the Baker res.
idence.

now look to the citizens of Davenport
for their hearty support and co-opera-
ton in this great undertaking; one of
the most far reaching and widely bene-
fetal ventures, the most valuable as
set that could be added to this COM
munity, and the ncorporators who
have put in their money and work to
bring about the present status of the
project with no other motive than
pride, and an honest endeavor to
harness up and utilize the great power
before our doors, have every reason
to expect that Davenport will respond
willingly with every assistance to
bring this project to successful com
pletion"

Temporarily insane or crazed by

aged %, shot and seriously wounded
his beautiful young wife and then
fred fatal bullet into his own
brain Friday evening soon after sum
set at the home of his mother, Mrs
Elizabeth Sheets at Bridgeport.
where he and his wife had been Wis.
Ting. No definite cause Is assigned
for the double tragedy.
The murderer and suicide died at
O'Clock without regaining conscl-
BUSINESS. The bullet that caused his
death entered the frontal bone OF
his skull, passed through the brain
and came out through the crown.
Mrs. Sheets was shot two or three
times. One ball entered her skull
aboye the right temple and lodged
above the frontal lobe OF the brain.
Another pierced the flesh of her
right hip. The second finger of her
right hand was shot OFF either by a
third bullet or by one of those that
caused the other wounds.
Mrs. sheets's condition is critical
but considering the nature of the
wounds she has fair chance of re.
covery. Drs. n. R. and c. R. Peck,
of this city. who attended her, tres-
pinned the skull and removed the
ball Friday evening. While upper
tissues of the brain were cousldera-
bly, lacerated and. the Internal table
bones broken, none of the centers
of vitality appeared Ito be affected
She rallied that night sufficiently to
respond TO questions. EARLY Satur-
day morning she again rallied and
appeared to be rational.
