Death Of G. E. Saucier,

After long and lingering illness, death
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, released
from its tenemant of clay the spirit of
Claudius E. Saucier, and relieved him
from the ordeal of an illness that dated
far back.
He had been surrounded by relatives,
neighbors and friends, both day and
night for weeks, who administered to his
wants and comfort with unceasing
attention, and when the end came he
was surrounded by these who watched
the spark of life that dimmed itself
away as calmly and peacefully as the
exemplary and beautiful life deceased
had lived.
Mr.. Saucier was aged 30 years and s
months, native OF Bay ST. Louis, and
was son of the late EvaristeSaucier and
Madeline TouIme; he is survived by his
brothers, Postmaster Jos. e. Saucief,
w. E. Saucier; Mrs. Lydia Eagan and
Miss Edwige Saucisr, M stap-fa sher
J. A. Breath, at whose home he re-
sided with his sisters. Mr.. Chas. A.
Breath, of this city, and Mrs. b. J. Ca
logne, of New Orleans. were half brother
and sister who also survive.
He was a member OF the Woodmen OF
the World and of the Bay Benevolent
Association, the members OF both Or
ganizations attended the funeral in a
body, which took place yesterday after
noon from the late residence in Main
street; interment at Cedar Rest Gene
terry.
He was Catholic and died with the
last spiritual comforts OF his church,
Rev. Father Downing, who conducted
the funeral ceremony, acting as his
spiritual adviser.
Mr.. Saucier had never married. He
remained ever with his sisters, devoted
to them all through life, and they to
him, which was so well shown during
his long illness.
The bereaved family have the SYM
pathy of many friends and acqualnt'
ances in Bay st. Louis, Hancock county
| New Orleans and along the Coast.

OLD GUARD WON
IN MASSACHUSETTS
Roosevelt Faction Was Completely
Buried at Election to Select
Delegates.

BOSTON, Mass, April 26.-'Old
Guard" forces won a sweeping state
wide victory in the Massachusetts re-
publican primaries yesterday and
elected the unpledged delegates by a
margin of $4,000 votes.
Despite their 10000 kilograms and
the bitter fight they put up to the
last minute, the Roosevelt faction
was completely buried, returns show
ed today.
Governor Samuel w Mccall, Unit
ed States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
United States Senator John w.
Weeks and ex-United States Senator
w. Murray Crane, unpledged candi-
dates for delegates at large, were the
choice of republican voters.
The democrats elected their dele
gates at large pledged to Woodrow
Wilson except Governor Walsh. Chas
B. StOcker, Humphrey O'Sulliyan and

ARMY BILL WILL
UNDERGO CHANGES
Compromise on Number Of Men to
Compose Regular Force Of
Standing Troops.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-As a re-
suit Of announcements by Chairman
Chamberlain and Hay of the senate
and house military committees, who
viii lead the conferees from their
prospective houses. the outlines of
the army bill as it is expected to
emerge from congress some weeks
hence. were pretty well known to
members today. They understood:
That the compromise between
Chamberlain's $50 900 peace strength
army and Hays 100000, will be a
regular force of $4,000 men.
That the proposed federal reserve
will be made much less pretentious
than in the Chamberlain bill or elm
mated altogether.
That the national guard will get
about all it demands in increased pay
for officers, more equipment and
privileges, etc.
Belief that this was the probable
line UP, was based on the we'll known
fact that what Chamberlain consid-
cred as vital in his bill, is the large
regular army. His original figures
were for $4,000 men and he accepted
the amendment for 100000 largely for
trading purposes, it is said.
| It appeared certain that plan for
a government armor plant inserted
in the senate bill by Smith of South
Carolina would die.
! The provision for the training of
! private soldiers in trades and yoca-
! lions for civil life also seemed
f, doomed. House members object to
4 the expense. Members would not be
surprised If the conference over the
measure lasts a month.

John II. Cole, Superintendent Of the
keokuk and Hamilton Bridge
Company, Has Completed Thir-
ty-five Years There,
BEGAN WORK FEB. /, 1881
Work OF Reconstruction Of Bridge Is
Being Delayed by High Water
and May Not be Fin
ished June 1.

John III. Cole, superintendent of
the Keokuk and Hamilton Bridge
company has held that position for
thirty-five years. He started on his
thirty-sixth year in that capacity on
February l, this year. Mr.. Cole took
the Office Of superintendent of the
bridge company in 1881 and has held
that place since then. He has proved
an efficient and able manager in this
capacity.
There are few persons who realize
that Mr. Cole has been in charge of
the bridge here for that length of
time AS he himself expressed it, he
has spent half of his life on the
bridge. He came to Keokuk from
the east in 1875 and was city engi-
neer and chief engineer of the st. Louis,
Keokuk and Northwestern at the
time he became superintendent of the
Keokuk and Hamilton bridge.
Bridge Work is Delayed.
High water is delaying the work
on the bridge so that it will not be
possible to complete the job by June
as had been planned. There has
been so much high water within the
last few weeks that it has been inn
possible to place the false work
around the one remaining span to
be changed. This has delayed the
construction work considerably, and
while other factors have been taken
care of, the fight against the heavy
current in the deepest part of the
river has so far proved unsucces sful.
The span which is still to be
changed is span over the deepest
part Of the river, where the current
is strongest and where it is hard to
get the false work sunk properly.
The reconstruction will be done just
as fast as it is possible as the bridge
company, as well as those who use
the structure. is anxious to get the
job completed.
