a narrow escape from death under

MRS.ANNA HENRY
SUFFERS ATTACK
Overcome With Heart Trouble
She Falls Down Flight of
Steps at Home.

Mrs. Anna Henry, old Rock Island
resident, who resides at 1885 Eighth
and-one-half avenue, was overcome by
heart trouble while sitting at her home
yesterday afternoon. A physician was
called and it was thought for a time
that she would die, but her condition
is somewhat improved today.
Mrs. Henry had been complaining of
pain on the left side all day. She
was sitting in chair at her home dur
ing the afternoon, and when she got up
to walk she keeled over in a faint and
fell down small flight of steps. The
fact that she is nearly 20 years of
age makes it impossible to tell wheth-
er she will recover or not. Her many
friends in the city wish her a speedy
recovery.

ADMITS DEFEAT.

Roger C. Sullivan issued a state
ment Saturday in Chicago, which
carried admission that his Republic
can opponent. Senator Sherman, had
been reelected Asserting that the
heart with gratitude, Mr.. Sullivan
says:
"No matter what the final result
OF the official canvass may be, it
will bring few regrets, no deep dis
appointment and much personal sat-
isfaction. II is regrettable that We
have people so minded as to PEN
alize man for the religion he got
from his mother, and that We have
men willing to capitalize this baser
ness for the sake Of getting office.
This appeal to religious prejudice,
particularly when given countenance
by high personages in Democrats
officialdom, is still effective in some
parts Of Illinois"
Secretary of State William J..
Bryan was In Chicago for two hours
during Saturday. headed for Wash
ington. He declined to comment
upon the Illinois result. His quoted
interviews indicate that he is more
or less satisfied with the national
figures. In the sullivan statement
there is a noticeable absence OF ref
erence to the case Of Bryan and the

cratic leaders against Sullivan all

BERLIN, Dec. 5.-Thc attitude OF
the United States is commented upon
by Count Won Reventlow, the naval

"It England and France are willing
to favor the United States as much

their policy Of STRIVING Germany at
the expense Of small neutral nations
the reason Is that both countries have
ordered many millions OF dollars worth
