throughout his long life. Current
topics of interest meant more to him
than to many men who number half
his years. Added to his keen intelli-
gence he possessed fund of wit and
humor that delighted those fortunate
enough to know him. For years 1t has
been his fancy upon each recurring
birthday to write a verse or verses
appropriate to the occasion. Perhaps
it would be a letter of thanks for
some little token of remembrance or
perhaps an expression Of his own
feelings:

HALIFAX, May 1.-None of the

surface again, according to the cap
tain, Lardner, who commanded the
death ship, Meckay-Bennett.
81 am confident said Captain Lard

up were those of the persons who
either jumped from the vessel or were
swept from the deck as she plunged
beneath the surface. The Titanic is
resting on the bottom of the ocean,
two miles deep. The pressure of the
water is so great that none of the
human forms, even though they are
encased in life belts, could come to
the surface, even if they should be
freed from the wreckage
1T is unlikely that many of those on
the deck We're washed overheard, the

Years.
WAS PAST NINETY THREE
Retained His Erect Form and An His
Able Mental Faculties
Until the Very
End.

Yesterday afternoon The Gate City
made brief announcement OF the
death of DR.. H. E. Bowman of Farm
ington, who passed away about $50
o'clock Monday evening. Only a short
time ago he was stricken with ser
ious illness from a cold. when his son
w. H. Bowman of Keokuk was called
to his bedside, but the old gentleman
rallied and was thought to be in fair
way to recover his usual health, but
it seems that death had set it's mark
and he has gone to his reward.
The illness was noted in The Gate
City at the time and brief sketch
of this remarkable gentleman of the
old school was given. So long had he
lived in Iowa and SO marked was his
individuality, good-heartedness and
courtly courtesy to all with whom he
associated, that his acquaintance was
far extended He was born in Vir-
ginia, the Old Dominion state, not far
from Washington d. c., and was al
ways proud of the land of his nativity
and his lineage. Tall and straight in
statue. SO he was in his career in
life, lifting high his ideal and never
bending to the wrong. Thus he lived
and bore with him the good will OF
his neighbors. and dying he is mourn
ed with a deep sorrow.
A correspondent of the Burlington
Hawk-Eye of this morning thus
speaks of the death of DR.. Bowman:

not permit the flock gathering there,

would pray there and the authorities
would be powerless to stop them.
When Voliva's followers began
praying for the Cook employees and
using terms that angered the electric
plant workers. black Jacks, clubs,
bricks and stones were brought into
play. The rioting ended with the
arrest of two of the Zion party, who
were released Immediately afterward

his people to gather in the lot ad-

every two hours. but not to fight. The
activity of Marshal Hoover prevented
the order being carried out.

about quiet by getting Mayor Miller OF
