On the occasion mentioned, infantry

rendered the clothing neither heavier nor
thicker than usual, threw themselves into
the water, and not only did not sink, but
were able to 'smarch" in the water and to
fire. At the same time coffee was served
to party in the water, waiter and guests
being clad in the special fabric.

IOWA'S HEROINE
Laying At The Point Of Death Near
Boone, Caused By Bright'S Disease.
BraveSt Woman In All Iowa

Miss Kate Shelley, the bravest little
girl that ever lived in Iowa is lying at
the point of death at her home near
Moingona, Iowa with Bright's Disease.
Her bravery was by crawling over a
railroad bridge one awful dark night
when the rain was falling in torrents,
the Tightening flashing and thunder
roaring.
The stream near her home strained
the bridge to such ad extent that it
went down stream nearly as soon as
she had crawled over the shaking skel-
eton. The passenger train from the
west was nearly due and on up the
track she went as best she could in her
plight to stop it and reached the little
station of Moingona just in the nick of
time. The train was stopped and about
two hundred people saved from wa
terry grave by her efforts. Her bravery
has never been euualed.
