will be interested in knowing that in.
stead of forty-hve, the guaranteed

its makers promises It viii be the
fastest in the world.
The craft In question Is being built
for James A. Pugh, commodore OF the
Pistakee Yacht club, McHenry, ILL.,,
on Fox lake. Commodore Pugh is

ly object with him seems to be win.
neD regardless Of cost
His new boat, which is under con.
struction at Lake Geneva, Wis, is 80
feet long with foot s inch beam.
1t is specially designed Fauber
,hydroplane, with six planes. It will

II expect to have 1t completed by

side," says Commodore Pugh. "The
guaranteed speed is fifty miles an
hour" continues the commodore, but
1t is little early to say just what
she will do in the water, and do not
want to make any false claims. We
cannot tell just what she will do until
she Is tried out"

DEATH TAKES
YOUNG WOMAN
MISS NELLIE CULLEN SUDDENLY
EXPIRED. IN BED :-.:.s
MORNING.

Calling her brother, James j. Cul.
len to arise as she had been accus-
toned to do, Miss Nellie Cullen retired
to her room at 6:45 o'clock 80. .s:,...
ing and fell into .sleep from
which she never again awoke. Her
death was discovered by her sister,
Mrs. E. P. Barton, about 7:1O as she
entered her room to turn off the
steam which issued from the radiator.
Wondering as she was about to leave
the room, why her sister did not
waken, she touched her only to find
that life was extinct. An affection OF
the heart was responsible for the
death Which came as great shock not
only to the members of the family but
the very large circle Of friends with
whom Miss Cullen was held in high
esteem.
Although Miss Cullen has always
been of frail appearance, she has en-
joyed such health as not to presage
such a sudden taking of as was ex-
perienced. Some four years ago she
suffered an attack of the heart from
which it was thought she could not re-
cover. From this, however, she grad
ually improved until her health beyond

not cause of worry to herself or
other members Of the family. Hers
was the care of the Cullen home, and
her death means that great void will
be felt by her brother and sister whose
every home comfort was directed by
Miss Cullen.
Miss Cullen was born in Ottumwa,
in the house in which she died, Nov
ember 81, 1866. She lived her whole
life in this city and was educated in
the Visitation Sisters academy, since
gone from Ottumwa. Hers was de-
voted Christian life. She was faith
full adherent of the Catholic church
and always attended st. Mary's at
which church no later than last even
ing she attended the lenten services
and seemed in the best OF health and
spirits upon returning home. She was
a charter member and constantly &C
tive in st. Ceclia's Guild and the
Daughters of Isabella, and was once
president Of the former society.
Two sisters and two brothers mourn
her death, Mrs. James Quinlan OF
Lorain, Ohio, Mrs. E. P. Barton, James
j., and Frank Cullen. The funeral
was held this morning from st.
Marys church where requiem high
mass was sung at 8 o'clock Wy Very
Rev. F. w. Hopmann. 1nterment was
in the family lot in Calvary.

Joined her party. They were in France.
Latent personality developed in
William Gaylord. He wrote angrily
and demanded that the girl scan the
scores of alliances contracted be-
tween American dollars and CONT
mental blue-blood and write him If she
found a truly successful one. He blunt
ly-and brutally-insisted that her
count was thinking only of her money
in his wooing and not of her personal
charms.
Between letters he savagely dashed
off story with an American girl as
heroine. messalliance as motif, and
a lover who literally beat the coro
neted husband to pulp and dragged
the girl.wife away to an American
divorce colony.
An editor bought this promptly and
sent the cynic a substantial check.
Gaylord was the frenzied recipient
Of just one more teasing letter ~ and
then Mamie came home.
"Well," roared Williams strong
jawed, harsh-featured William, with
cold gray knobs Of polished steel IN
lieu of eyes, scintillating behind the
thick glasses. II suppose you brought

Mamie stared.

They were on the vine-covered We.

In his citation. Gaylord abruptly
changed the subject
I'll am glad" whispered the girl.
She still stood before him, diminu.
tive goddess of beauty with eyes low
cred. I'll told you you could win
If you would"
Gaylord came resolutely up and
closed fierce arms about her.
I'm going to marry you,' he said
loudly. "And-and no darned count
can butt in"
Such was the manner of Gaylord,s
wooing.

of corn about week ago and amused
himself by catching them in his mouth
as they fell. noe OF the grains, In
some manner, got down into the
trachea and commenced to strange
the lad. Help was summoned but to
no avail However, the first pain soon
wore of and it was hoped that 1t
would cause no further annoyance,
but in few days the pain recon-
menced, throwing the child into
spasms. He was brought to Iowa City
and examined by physicians who fail
ed to locate any disturbance, even in
the X-Ray failed in It's mission Al
ter several days. DR.. F. c. Titzell To-
Gated the cause as being In the lower
part OF the trachea and operated and
long fine pair Of forceps was inserted
into the windpipe which finally
brought to light the grain of corn
which had become imbedded in the
tissues of the upper lung.
The lad is doing very nicely now
and it is only question Of time before
he will be able to go back to his
home.
