THE CATHEDRAL ON WHEELS

Rt. Rev. Dr. WALKER, bishop of North Dakota, will spend Sunday next in
Davenport, preaching in the Cathedral in the morning and visiting Saint
Katharine's for the 5 o'clock service in the afternoon.
The bishop's "Cathedral on Wheels" is now being built by the Pullman company
at Chicago, friends in the cast having provided the cost of this useful
adjunct to the bishop's work. This car is a novelty in ecclesiastical
labors, and it will be found to be a very useful article. It will greatly
simplify and assist the bishop in his work throughout the diocese.

HOMES OF SORROW
Death has fallen with a heavy hand upn the hme of Mr. and Mrs. J.H. HASS.
For 10 days Mr. HASS had been kept away from the Scott County Saving's bank
by his own illness, the influenza. Then, as he was recovering came the death
Thursday evening of an only daughter, Milla, in her sixth year. The disease
was that dreaded and cruel one diphtheria. The little one was the idol of
the home, bright and beautiful, and her taking away leaves desolatoin for
the afflicted parents. Owing to the dangerous nature of the disease the
funeral will be private.

Henrietta, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman ADRESSEN, died at half past 8
o'clock this morning of pneumonia, aged 15 years. She was a lovely young
girl, and her death plunges the family into inexpressible grief. The funeral
will be held Sunday at 3 o'clock from the family residence, 136 Bridge
avenue.
