known residents of this town, died

long and painful illness, due first to
an attack of pellagra, a complication

having reafczed'several months ago
that it. was only a matter of time j
until the^end would come, yet it was
only yesterday that he accompanied

and he di3- not lose . consciousness
until a moment or two before he
died; and he talked freely -with his
physician about his condition until
his pulse liad ceased to respond to
the powerfi# stimulant administered
by the physician. The deceased had
been blind for the last several years,
but thisi did not mar his cheerful
disposition which had always been a
characteristic of his life.
W. H. Berley was 46-years of age.

Miss Bessie Caujghman; three young
daughters, Sari Mildred Berley, Bertha

Capsizing ot tne uastiana.
In the capsizing- of the steamer
"Eastland" just off of her wharf in
the Chicago river on Saturday last, j
there occurred one of the greatest j
maratime disasters in the quarter of
a century. Approximately one thous-1
and persons, the employees of the!
Western Electric company with theirj
friends, lost their lives by the sinking
of the Eastland. The excursion
steamer, was loading for a pleasure
trip across Lake Michigan, suddenly
brook lose from her moorings ar.d
rapidly began to list. Within five
minutes she had turned her entire
body of passengers into the river or
? * ' V 3
imprisoned tnem in ner suDinergea
hull.
So far, divers have recovered 824
bodies, and various reports state the
that the death list will run up to
one thousand, though it is probable
that this estimate is too large. Secretary
Kedfield is on the ground and
is assisting in conducting the investigation.
The coroner's inquest is
endeavoring to locate the blame,
and all parties, both local and federal
are working together to ascertain
whether or not negligence upon the
part of the steamer's owners caused
the disaster. Over-loading, underballasting
and grounding on the
river bottom have been cited in the
progress <">f the coroner's inquest a?
probable reasons for the sinking of
the steamer. Divers are still at I
work recovering1 bodies, and most of
the bodies recovered are those of;
women and children. Mothers and ,
children, hundreds of girls off for a
gala day from their tasks of making
telephone and other electrical ap-i
paratus in the factories of the Wes-'
tern Klectric company, were drown
ed.
The General manager of the trans
poration company, the officials in!
charge of the boat, and other officials'
connected with the ownership and
operation of tho transporation lino;
that owned the Eastland have been 1
detained awaiting further investi-I
gation as to the placing of the blame;
for the accident. A sweeping in-,
