If the morning and afternoon.

There is a great quantity of drift
wood in the river at the present time
and the work of searching was made
slow on that account. Many objects
which looked as though they might be
bodies at distance, turned out to be
logs or pieces of boards and trees
floating along.

Discovery of the First Body.


The Sunshine" a cabin cruiser of
the Mississippi River Power Company
was the boat to find the first body,
that Of Miss Maymie Wilson. The par
ty of searchers left the dock near the
foot of Seventh street after half past
ten and it was hardly ten minutes be-
fore the form of woman was seen
floating on top of the water about 800
yards from the shore and almost at
the point where the old second lock
formerly stood.
With the aid of graphing hook,
the body was made fast until row
boat pulled it in to shore A long wire
attached to one of the graphing hooks
which were trailing the Sunshine, be-
came wrapped about the propeller of
the boat and it required three-quar-
tiers of an hour after the boat had
been towed to shore 10 unwind the
wire.
The coroner and one Of the under
taking concerns were notified that a
body had been found and Miss Will
sons remains were removed to the
morgue.
When found the body was floating,
face downward. The face and limbs
were swollen and the features black
and distorted which is unusual after a
body has been in the water for only
9 short time.

is a Treacherous Lake.

The place where the launch party
went down is no less than forty-five
feet deep. Measurements were taken
of the depth yesterday and there is
little wonder that all of the five mem
beers in the party persisted. Had a
boat been going up the river at the
time the young people in the launch
were running up or down stream, it
would have been miracle had any Of
them been saved after being upset in
the treacherous lake The undercur-
rent is SO strong that searching par
ties, holding onto the lines attached to
graphing hooks would have been
pulled overheard had the lines not
been fastened to uprights in the boats.

THREE BODIES Of FATAL
LAUNCH PARTY ARE FOUND
All Close Together.

Joseph L. Mock was the man who
found the body of Mrs. Wright. The
body was about q hundred yards
further out in the lake than that OF
the niece. Miss Wilson. Mock was
running about in the locality in his
launch when he saw an object on top
OF the water and on going up to
it, discovered the third Of the drown,s
ed party. Relatives of the woman
identified the body last night by a
bar pin worn on her collar. The fea-
lures were badly disflgured.
Mock was the last man to leave the
river after dark last night and 1t is
not probable the bodies of Mrs. Marks
and Gross will be found until today.
Both Born In keokuk.
Mrs. Wright and her niece, Miss
Wilson, were both born in Keokuk
Mrs. Wright would have been 81
years of age the End day OF next Oc-
tober. Her husband died a year ago
last January. The Wrights were
married in Peoria, six years ago the
twelfth Of this month. Mrs. Wright
was a sister of Mrs. Rose Oatman-
Wilson of this city and the latter was
the mother of Miss Maymie Wilson.
Mary Ernestine Wilson was born
in Keokuk, January II, 1895. With
the exception of year and a half
spent in Dubuque. she had lived in
Keokuk all her life She was a de-
vout Catholic and dutiful daughter.
She had number Of friends among
the younger people OF the city who
are shocked at her untimely end as
we'll as the deaths OF her friends. A
brother. Hugh Wilson OF Dubuque, ar
rived here with his wife yesterday
afternoon. There is also a younger
brother Raymond, who lives with the
mother at 729 Bank street.

RIBBONS TO FASTEN WELLS.

Il is sometimes a difficult feat to ar
range a veil satisfactorily with low col
lar, but the trouble is quickly eliminated
by the wells with narrow velvet ribbon
run through the ends. BY gathering these
ribbons a becoming fulness can be easily
adjusted, thus taking away the tight
strained look produced by drawing the
ordinary veil closely under the chin. The
ribbon is tied in a bow. with the long
ends allowed 70 fall. Probably because
they inclose the face as II II were In
cage, they are known as cage wells"
They are particularly lovely in the fine
silk shadow lace with delicate floral
design.
A similar idea is carried out In en-
even more ambitious form. These wells.
either OF shadow lace or the Shetland fin
ished yelling are run with a rather wide
ribbon IT the ton. which is tied In bow
in the back. forming a bandeau on the
brim Of the hat. At the neck line the
veil IS gathered into a quilting OF ribbon.
which gives the effect OF a run. Like the
first veil mentioned. Il Is admirable for the
collarless necks. as the ruff adds a soft
finish which IS very generally becoming.

EGYPTIAN DESIGNS IN WELLS.

The designs vary extensively. and one
of the most striking has borrowed Its In
SEPARATION from the East and is Egyptian
in theme. The hexagonal centre is plain.
and tiger lily is woven throughout the
balance OF the veil. Conventional leaf
designs are used TO large extent, and
are so generally becoming that they can
be recommended to women with small
features or their friends with large feat
ures. The general rule for selecting q
veil holds good with these wells as with
others; that is, a woman with small feat
ures should choose yell with a subdued,
small design IL she would not hide her
face entirely behind a curtain. while the
woman with n more generous cast or
countenance should select wells with
large, splashy designs.

THE CHOICE
OF A VEIL
The Size Of the Features
Must Be Carefully
Considered. ,

The smartly frocked woman is always
on the lookout for something new In the
accessories. She may not be In imam
cial position to afford new frock, but
she realizes that her appearance can be
materially improved by investing mod
crate sum in chic new accessories. In
the realm of wells there are several nov
elites one OF the latest to make It's APP
pearance is the frame veil which has the
design arranged at the top, the bottom
and the sides i'm the shape of frame.
leaving a space I'm the centre OF plain
mesh. This is a practical idea which
should appeal TO the oculist, and yet the
effect is very decorative. and not as
startling as the vanity veil which shows
only one design. This veil is made up In
different meshes, mere or less on the nov
city line. but the daintiest is In the very
fine Italian washable silk.

the hands scarcely come in contact with
the water
When the dishes are in the pan take the
brush in the right hand and with it push
each article 10 the left hand. Hold the
dish with this hand and apply the brush,
rinse and then drain or wipe.
Where running water is plentiful dt
need not be very hoD the following
method Will entirely eliminate grease.
Before putting the dishes into the pan
hold each of the most unclean ones under
lightly running stream and use the
brush vigorously. Further washing VIII
often seem unnecessary. and the water In
the pan will still be clean when the dish
washing ordeal is over. This running
water and brush plan IS excellent where
iust a few dishes have been used. Having
been thus cleaned they may be left TO
drain. Pan and cloths will not have been
used and the hands will not have been
parboiled. After each period Of service
the brush should, OF course, be scalded
and set out to dry.

in this way the board bill is cut in two.
And so it is with all the enthusiasm
that has been created from the special
work of the last two years In high
school. added to the woman's natural love
OF homemaking work and the knowledge
that every untaught girl will need her
teaching later. that the student enters the
domestic science school of her choice. She
enters on three-year course. years filled
with the study of biology. physiology,
cooking. chemistry. sewing. dietetics and
field work. for during the last year
student is obliged TO study out in the
field of action and take number of
hours week Of actual practice teaching.
MANY AVENUES OPEN TO GRAD

where this household worker must create

the requisite food tor each patient Also
this dietitian must give theory and prac-

there is school lunch work, tea and lunch
