WOMAN DIES OF
HEART ATTACK
ABOARD TRAIN
Remove At Rock Island Station
Body Of GalesbUrg Resident
EnrOute to WATERFOWL.

Mrs. I. T. Cassingham, a resident
Of Galesburg, died on Burlington
train just out of Barstow at 1920
this morning, while enroute with a
sister to visit her brother, S. j.
Sharpe, at Waterfowl. The body
was removed at the Rock Island
station, and taken to the Knox fun
eral parlors, from where it will be
taken to Galesburg for burial.
Mrs. Lillian Preston, the sister
with whom Mrs. Cassingham left
Galesburg at o'clock this morn
ing, says that the two ran to catch
the train, and that her sister COM
planned of pains about the heart
when they reached the station. Her
condition became serious on the
train, she slipped from her seat and
in spite of the efforts of a physician
who was on the train, to resuscitate
her, died just after the train had
passed the station at Barstow.
= An inquest was conducted this
afternoon by Coroner Maberry, and
the body will be returned to her
home at Galesburg this evening.
Two sisters, Harriet Mcnamara
ana MIS-. Lillian 1 ltSNbllB bObA u
Galesburg, are the survivors.
DR.. Shirley Folsom, formerly of
Rock Island. was the doctor who
attended Mrs. Cassingham on the
train. He was enroute to Musca-
tine from his home in Fergus Falls,
Mimi, planning to visit his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. H. D. Folsom,
who formerly lived here. He gave
Mrs. Cassingham medical aid from
the time she entered the train at
Galesburg until death arrived. DR..
Folsom, by reason of being sum-
moned as a witness in the inquest,
was forced to remain here until
after the inquisition, when he will
continue on his way to Muscatine.
He was particularly anxious to
avoid being delayed inasmuch as
this is the first visit to his parents
since his return from overseas
where he served in the army.

Bender Tells Experiences.

John Bender, who was overseas
with the United States troops, re-
lated some personal experiences
showing the wonderful work done
by the Salvation lassies and men
on the other side; Happy Billy"
Mcintyre, as he was introduced by
the mayor, made a fine talk in an
interesting manner; Rev. c. P.
O'Neil said that the Catholic church
was heartily behind the Salvation
Army because of the sincerity and
real usefulness of that organiza-
tons work Ben Jacobson illus
trated the point that the laboring
class and the Salvation Army have
much in common; DR.. w. D. Miller
closed the program with a brief
speech which was plainly sincere
and to the point.
A trio of Salvation Army lassies
from Moline and another trio of
male singers from the Harper
house entertained with several
vocal selections. Captain and Mrs.
NJ. Watner represented the Saliva

matrimony. The business Of having
the men of the service in the we'd
ding party form an arch of swords
for the bride and groom as they leave
the altar, while it is of course al
ways picturesque, is after all, rather
"old stun"
1t did seem rather a pity that such
wonderfully effective color scheme
as that of the bridal party should
have been ranged against such a hor-
ribly inharmonious background as the
chancel still wearing its Christmas
dress. Orchid tones and turquoise
blue. artistically managed, are Won
derful in themselves, but range
them up against an altar blazing
with red insettias-and-well it's
rather a hectic combination.
One thing the week has brought,
anyhow. and that is the .ecceuing of
the White House. Formerly the latch
string was always out at 1900 Psnnsyl-
vania avenue. The grounds-on the
north side of the house. anyhow, along
Pennsylvania avenue-were open to the
public day or night. They were al
most a thoroughfare. Until that Feb
ruary morning two years ago when
the President announced to Congress
that he was sending the German Am
bassador. Count Johann Won Bern

dent of Washington for dozen years.
had scarcely known that there were
any gates to the Pennsylvania avenue

Since them Why last time I went

was merely policemen at the big

many more than usual in the
grounds. and ever so many more
lights about at night that none
might be skulking in the shadows
of the trees, awaiting a chance to
do mischief. And soon after the
United States entered the war, SOL
