North Pole Scheme Should Not
Succeed.

paper to the American philosophical

Wash DaV UpiDS.

The most wonderful solvent vet dis
covered is Naptha, a by-product OF
petroleum. and it is used by all profess
sioual cleaners to renovate every sort
Of fabric being harmless in it's use.
For years soap makers have endcaV-
orcd to add naptha to soap so as to
have one combination of these two
great cleaners. Owing to the volatile
nature of naptha the result sought has
never been reach ID except in the case
Of Fcls-Naptha Soap made by Fels &
Co, Philadelphia, and now being intro
duccd into this city. It's use gives the
double effect of soap and naptha, and
much of the work that is now done by
ordinary soap and the tired arms of
women is done away with. The nap
tina in this soap loosens the dirt and
grease and the SOAP takes them out.
Uy it's use wash day Is shorn of most
of its disagreaable features; boiling or
scnl1ing the clothes, one of the great
hardships Of wash day. is entirely un-
necessary. The soap does its work in
cold or lukewarm water only: all that
is necessary is to rub soap over the
clothes, soak them thirty minutes or
more and then light rubbing makes
them as white as snow. Every woman
can appreciate how much labor, time
and distress are saved If no hot water
is needed for washing clothes or any
other household purposes. Fels-Nap-
tina soap always has the power to take
ont grease and other spots and stains
from carpets, clothing. etc, the nap
tina doing that part of the work. 1t
means a revolution in household work,
and only those women who like useless
labor and want poor results will refuse
to use 1t.
Fels-Naptha soap can be had at any
progressive grocery or the makers will
gladly mail 4 sample bar free of
charge, to any Of our readers who will
send postal card to Fels Naptha Soap
Co., Philadelphia.

Once more the death messenger has
called and we have had to give up
another of our old and respected citi-
zens. This time the call came to Peter
Jacob Peters, For some time past Mr..
Peters had not been we'll, but was able
to be about and on the street most
every day, he being by nature of a live
~ disposition, was not given to COM
planning or to make his ailments known
For more than week, however, he
had been confined to his room and,
although not suffering, his family and
friends saw that he was steadily grow
ing weaker, and the clouds md snad-
ows of death began to settle over the
home and on Saturday evening, Sep
TENDER 18th, he quietly passed away.
The deceased was born in Holsttin,
Germany, February IL, 1881, being 66
years, 7 months and IL days old The
land of his birth was his home until
1858, when he came to America and
settled in the State of Illinois. Febru-
ary II, 1880, on his fiftieth BIRTH
day, he came to Audubon county,
Iowa, where he lived until called to
that bourn from whence no traveller
has yet returned. In 1850 Peter Peters
and Anna Schwennecker Were Joined
In the bonds of matrimony. To this
union was born ten children, seven
sons and three daughters. Three sons
have proceeded him to the spirit land.
The deceased was a soldier in two wars.
He was first drafted into service in his
native land at the age of nineteen,
