Middle Lock, Becomes Victim Of
Alcoholic stlmulant.
Last Night.
MAN WAS WELL TO DO.
Relatives Of Dead Man Live in be
Soto, Mo-, and VIII Come Here
to Claim Remains OF
Hin.

Coroner Korschgen was called to
the camp Of Cameron, McManus and
Joyce this morning to look into the
cause Of the death of G. S. Cook, q
blacksmith. which occurred suddenly
about twelve o'clock last night.
The body was brought to Keokuk
after the coroner had viewed the re-
mains and Jury impaneled and the
inquest held at the undertaking par
lors OF Crimmins md Chase, where
the body was taken. A verdict Of
death from excessive alcoholism was
returned by the coroner's jury after a
thorough investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding the death Of Cook.
e. Starkweather, foreman of the
camp, was the first witness examined
by the jury and said that he had EN-
ployed the man several days ago, but
knew nothing of his private affairs.
He knew him as hard dr1uker and
testified that the deceased was intox-
icated yesterday afternoon.
Dan Beatty, stable boss for the con-
tractors, told of sleeping in the next
bed to the deceased and that Cook
was a heavy drinker. He said that
he had been in Keokuk with Cook
several times. He was awakened by
Thomas Riley, who slept with Cook
about twelve O'Clock last night. Cook
woke him exclaiming, Stable boss,
light the lamp. the blacksmith is
dead" He got out Of bed and lit the
lantern, and examined the dead man
and then went to the middle lock and
telephoned for the coroner. Cook, ac-
cording to Beatty's testimony was all
exceptionally heavy drinker.
Thomas Riley, laborer in the
camp was the last witness called and
said that Cook went to bed yesterday
evening about six o'clock, and SO far
4 as he knew, had not left the bed. He
was awakened by Cook early in the
night, when the deceased had pulled
the covers off him. He told him then
to lay down and go to sleep and heard
nothing more from him. Riley got
out of bed about midnight and in
passing Cook his hand touched his
face. 1t felt cold and he examined
him. feeling his heart and pulse ann
finding no signs of life, had awaken
ed the stable boss who slept in the
next bed.
1t was found that Cooks home was
in DeSoto, Mo-. where he has several
children living. His fellow-workmen
say that the deceased had some prop
erty there. His relatives were COM
municated with by the coroner this
morning and they will be here Tues
day morning to claim the remains.

FILTER PLANT
At WARSAW
New $4,000 Plant Is Now In Opera.
tIon and Furnishing Good Pure
Water to the
Citizens.
DESCRIPTION OF IT
Has Capacity Of 10000 Gallons and
all Water Goes Through Three
Feet or More Of Sand
and Gravel.

WARSAW, ILL.,, Oct. 2s.-About
the first question a stranger
asks with regard to the qualifications
and claims of the, town he proposes
to locate in is have you pure water,
and from what supplied on your an
swer will he decide whether he wants
to rhang up his hat" with you or not;
good water is good advertisement
for a town for on 1t in a large meas
ure depends the health Of the COM
munity. Warsaw is at least ito the
'front.' in this respect and claims to
have one of the best filtering plants
of any town In the state, the Pitts.
burgh, Pa Filter Co. having just COM
pleted it at cost of $4,200.00, the
work being done under the supervA
sion of one of the company's experts,
Mr.. H. H. Wiley of Pittsburgh. The
plant is located on the levee, adjoin-
ing and north of the button factory,
and consists of clear well, settling
tank and filter tank. The water is
pumped from the river through a
strainer tank of iron TT. by 21a IT.
and 8 feet high into the settling basin
of Red Cuff cedar that has capacity
of 10000 gallons. The object OF the
strainer tank is to prevent any float
ing debris from entering the pipe.
From the settling BASIN the water
flows into the clear well beneath.
which was excavated twelve feet
deep and is twenty feet wide and
twenty.six feet long and walled and
floored with concrete and whose ca
pacity is also 10000 gallons. From
the clear well the water passes into
the filter tank, nine feet in diameter
and eight feet high, also constructed
of Red Gulf cypress. This filter tank
has a capacity of 100000 gallons OF
filtered water in twenty-four hours
and with moderate expense could be
doubled Ten inches of gravel and
thirty-two inches of sand constitute
the filtering material. Sulphate OF
alumina or unrefined alum two grains
to the gallon is dissolved in small
tank and automatically fed to the fill
ter. From the filter the water is
pumped to the stand pipe on the
southeast corner of Ninth and Web
ster on the top Of Main street hill.
when water is very muddy, hypoch-
lorite of lime is used in place Of alum.
The sand in the filter is of a special
,,ina always used in these filters.
The interior of the filter house is
neatly covered with Congo board and
PAINTED. The whole waterwcrks plant,
pumps. filter, etc, is complete in

ments and showed that the condition
OF the vice president is one for ap-
