' Mrs. Joka Vomer Pimrnvm Away as a Ureal t r the Oppreaslve Traapera tor The Other Fatal Caswa aad KITeeta. People wbo retired Saturday night with a refreshing breeze blowing across their bed and loot ing to a milder temperature yesterday morning found their mistake when they awoke. Up to one o'clock yesterday tho heat was the most Intense and oppressive that has yet been ex pt rienced. The storm of yesterday was one of the most grateful things in the way ot a wentber treat that has ever betn sent to a f uffering people. Following the storm th: temperature declined grad ually and in .he evening was 74. The night was th'i most comfortable for sleep ing that we have had in eight days. To day it is wanner, but there is a pleasant breeze, and ufter the scorching ordeal through which we passed last week, we have no very grievous complaints. The sixth death from overheat, and the most distressing oneyet, occurred this morning. Ms. Laura Forner. wife of Mr. John Fo-ner, died at 5 o'clock, after an illness dat ng from Saturday evening. She was up about the house up to that time, when sbe was prostrated by the heat and fai ed until the hour stated She leaves a husband and two children, the youngest leing two weeks old and the oldest betwee i four and five years two sisters, Mrs. Henry Stuart, of this city. and an unmarried sister at Grinnell, Iowa, and hjr mother. The deceased came to this citv with her Darents when a child. She bad many warm friends in litis city who will join in sympathy for the bereaved husband. All who were acquainted with Mrs. Forner in li'e can bear evidence to her affection tnd care of the little family. The deceased was 27 years, 3 months and 18 days old. The funeral will take place Tuesday, at 2 o'clock p. m., from the residence, 108 Eighth street. OTHER EFFECTS OF TUB HEAT. A man naned Robert Meyer, whose home is at Ee )kuk and wbo was shipped over here by tne Davenport police, was prostrated at ihe corner of Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue about noon yeslerdny and conveyed to the police sta tion in the pt'rol wagon. Dr. Kinyon worked two liours before resuscitating the sufferer. He found the case to be a combination c f epilepsy, sua stroke and bad whisky. The man states that he was sun struck last year and that since that time he has been subject to epileptic seizures, especially in hot weather. A large nun iber of the horses in the Moline avenue and the Union railway car barns are unfit for use because of the heat. A bose on the Elm street line died of the blind staggers Saturday night, and onj care and skill prevented other deaths. Supt. Scbnitger has been obliged to reduce the number of cars on all the lines io consequence of the effect of the heat. The hot wi ather has had a pitiably willing effect cn some of the police force and they go around looking about as tough looking as common people. The marshal Limse f was caught up town this morning in such scanty attire that friends took him in charge out of com miseration. Mrs. Maria Schultz, a lady in her eightieth year, living at 416 Fourth street, became leranged by the heat this morning, and attempted suicide by drowning in the Mississippi. Sbe was rescued before she had accomplished her purpose. Mrs. Olson, to aged lady, died at the home of ber da lghter, Mrs, Bloom" in Moline yesterday of the effects of the ex treme heat. S'e was over eighty years of age. John Ambur:?, of Moline, died between 1 and 2 o'clock jestrrday of the heat. He was on his way home when he fell down in an alley and soon after expired. He was sixty years ot age. Mrs. Elizabeth Stinger, of Moline, died at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon from heat prostration, aged seyenty-one. There are a f;reat many cases of pros tration from orer heat in the city, but only the most serious are reported. Nels Melslorr e, a tailor, died in Moline Saturday evening of an attack of tLe heal aged forty years. In speakipg of the excessive heat and the probability of its continuance, an old physician said: "I would advise the pco pie to dress cod. Let them throw aside heavy garments . It is not a question of appearance, but comfort and health. The people should avoid meats and Tatty substances, and partake freely of lemon ade and cream noda; they should walk on the abady side of the street and avoid physical as well as mental excitement all the7 possibly can. I advise the avoid ancc of alcoholic stimulants as much as possible. I think we will get through with a better record than other cities We are in excellent condition." Hirer Kiplrta.

He had conducted the saloon at the corner of Fourth avenue and Fourth street, for many years. He leaves with his widow four children, three of whom aro sons.

Sprixgfield, Ills., June 80. A great surprise Is the announcement of the death at Manitou, Colo., Friday of the Hon, James II.

He had been a member oftfuor assemblies, and was a prominent constitutional lawyer, probably the best in the house.

Hi form glistened like steel av, lie niMhed to the drug store at Twenty sixth street and Cottage Grove avenue. His rotuud form was completely covered with pins, which were sticking deep in every por tion of bis anatomy. "Get a tack hammer and pull these pins out quick r shouted the fat man, who was Henry Wing. Then he told how the boiler head in tha dye bouse of which he is the proprietor had blown out and scattered a box of pins stand ing near with such force that he was literally stuck full of tbe tn from head to foot, giving him tbe appearance ot an animated pincush ion. The clerk went to work as if be wars pulling tacks, and managed to extract sev eral papers of pins from tha fat man's body. At each pull of the hammer Wing uttered a groan of anguish.

To get something that will be good of its kind, pleasing and useful, and not too costly, is what we all wish to do, but don't always succeed in doing. . We store keepers all think we can meet these require ments; but perhaps in a china store, the things to choose from make it easier to satisfy oneself than in most others. If you intend making birthday, wedding or anniversary presents, wouldnt it be well to call and see what is here? I have a great many new things, some expensive, and some not at all so. Among staples are a new and very neat brown decoration open stock dinner pattern; something good enough for every day use, or for better if you don't use fine china, and in which you can have just what you want from a tea pot lid (for example) to a fall dinner set. A regular 112 piece set would cost about $14.00. I have others for less one style for $10.75, decorated in colors. Plenty ot Boae bowl ; plenty of ice tubs ; yoa want come ot these.
