Obituary.-Mrs. Clara Forsberg,
widow of the late Charles E. Fors-
berg, was found dead in a bed at her
/ home, 73I Twenty-third street at II
o'clock yesterday. 1t Is believed that
she passed away sometime during the
night from heart trouble as the body,
when discovered by police officers was
cold and rigid. Coroner J. F. Rose
! held an inquest. The discovery was
made after Mrs. Gossett, who lives on
the second floor of the Forsberg resi-
dence, failed TO note the woman, who
was &c years of age, about the place
in the morning as was her usual Gus
tom. Mrs. Joseph Ecklund OF Rock
Island, a daughter of Mrs. Forsberg,
was with her mother early Wednesday
evening and at that time there was no
indications that Mrs. Forsberg was not
feeling well. AS soon as Mrs. Cos
sett suspected something was wrong
she notified the police. Officers forced
their way into the dwelling through a
front window and found the lifeless
body. Surviving children are Mrs.
Elsie Peterson of Moline, Mrs. Joseph
Ecklund of Rock Island, Mrs. Chris
tina Eckstam of Chicago, and one son,
Nels e. Forsberg of Oregon. She
was born in Sweden 66 years ago and
had made her home in Moline for the
last II years, residing for the whole
period at 731 Twenty-third street.

To this letter the Sheriff replied:
Nothing would please me better
than to have you accept the special
Deputy Sheriffship. l am proud OF
the fact that so able, conscientious and
honorable a woman applies for this
position.
81 have been a great admirer of your
late husband, Justice Truax, and my
counsel, Emanuel Blumenstiel, who is
an intimate friend of your family, has
congratulated me upon your accept
ance of this position, in which join
Mrs. Kate H. Hayden, who is mem
ber of the real estate firm of Hayder

yond ell expectations and those in

greatly exceed that of last year. All
who are familiar with the conditions
in 1911 will know what that means.
A communication has been received
from number of Pittsburgh men who
have engaged kennels. They say that
they will be here with fine lot Of
dogs to be exhibited. This will give
the local dog fanciers a great oppOr-
tunity to see something unusually
good.
The prize cups this year number
fourteen. They are of silver and are
lined with gold. 1t is by far the great
est offering in prizes yet given by any

mated by the association with the ex-
ception of one each given by A. J.

commended he did not need the treat
