CHILD AND HOUSE
ARE LOST IN FRI:
Misfortune 0yerc0mes Mr.. and Mrs,
Jesse BrumweIl, Former DBv-
enpGrters, in Missouri,

Word has reached Davenport Of one
OF the most pitiful accidents that could
happen to q family. Three months
ago MIR and Mrs Jesse Brumwell
moved from their home at Fifth and
Warren streets to a farm near La
mar. Mo. Last Saturday while Mir
and Mrs. Brumwell were in the yard
with two Of their children, their l.
year-old baby was left in the house
sleeping peacefully in her cradle
The father sent one of the boys in
to the house to see if a fire in q heat
ing stove was going good The boy
put his head inside the door and ut
tered a scream as the smoke and heal
was so dense it nearly suffocated
him Hearing the screams the father
rushed to the house and attempted to
save his child. but the heat and
smoke was too dense and he had to
give up the attempt. The only method
of fighting the fire was by a few
buckets and these proved useless. The
farm buildings also caught on fire so
now instead of the CHEEKY homestead,
there is a blackened charred mass of
timbers lying around
Neighhors took the grief stricken
family into their homes for the even
ing and have been caring for them
since. On an examination of the
ruins in the morning the charred re-
mains of the baby were found and
buried It is presumed that the air
tight heating stove exploded and set
the inside of the building on fire.
The neighbors made up a purse of
$50 which has been taking care OF the
family since the accident
Mrs. Brumwell's mother, Mrs Clara
Morgan, 1924 Scott street, is living in
Davenport, but while she has offered
her home to her daughter and family
she has not heard yet as to the &C
ceptance Of her proffer.

II Is doubtful though, whether
anyone in the world ever threw a

Former President Says Nation Faces
 Crisis Because of War.

Morristown, N. J.--In an address be. fore the Washington Association of New Jersey ex-President Taft reiter- ated more strongly than ever that the entire country should stand by Presi- dent Wilson in his policy toward the European war and the warning na- tions.
 The United States, he declared, is threatened with a serious invasion of it's rights as a neutral by the belliger- enss, and in preserving it's commerce with those nations is face to face with a crisis. In that crisis. should 1t arise. said MT. Taft. no jingo spirit should prevail; neither pride nor monetary passion should influence the country's judgment.
 We must abide" he said, "by the judgment of those to whom we have entrusted the authority, and when the President shall act, we must stand by him to the end. In this determination we may be sure that all will join, no matter what their previous views, no matter what their European origin. All will forget their differences in self sacrificing loyalty to our common flag and our common country"
