Obituary.

Herbert Fremont, eldest child of
Edgar G., and Jessie B. Daskam, was
born in Winneshiek Co., Iowa, Nov.
8, 1884, and died in Elgin, ILL.,, April
%, 1897, aged ~ years 5 months and
% days. For nine years the child has
been a quiet and patient sufferer from
double curvature of the spine. About
q week preceding his death, he con-
tracted measles complicated with con-
gestion of the lungs, and after hours
of intense suffering his spirit was re
leased at sunset Sunday evening.
While the body was weak and frail,
the intellect was unusually bright and
when told he could not live, turned
to his weeping mother and with clear
voice and smiling face said, "Mamma,
don't cry for me, do not like to leave
you but am not afraid to die, my
Saviour wants me and I'm going to a
better land than this, where want to
meet you and papa" Herbert moved
to Elgin ILL.,, three years ago with his
parents and had intended to leave
there for Cresco, April 81, to spend
the summer with his grandmother,
Mrs. John Daskam. So great was his
yearning for his old Iowa home that
when he felt he was going to die he
asked his father to bury him in Iowa.
Owing to IKE serious illness of othor
members of the family his parents
could not leave home, consequently
E. r. johnson, of Chicago, an uncle
of the child, accompanied the remains
to Cresco where funeral services were
held on Tuesday afternoon, April ~,
conducted by Rev. F. P. Shaffer. The
body was laid to rest in Oak Lawn.
To the neighbors and friends and
M. E. choir, who SO kindly assisted us
in the services and burial of our be-
loved son and grandson, we wish to
express our heartfelt thanks.
MIR. and Mrs. E. Il. DAsKAN,

Presidents Summer Cottage.
Washington, May 1.-The president is
receiving almost daily invitations from
friends and admirers asking him to
spend his summer outing at different
resorts. Most of the invitations come
from New England. 1t is stated posi-
lively that the president, as yet, has
given no consideration to the question
of where he will spend the heated term.
Should congress remain here until the
heat becomes very oppressive it is en-
tirely probable that Mrs. Mckinley may
leave Washington before the president

Monday night, Mrs. Gertrude Isbell,
wife of A. w. Isbell, quietly passed
away after patient suffering since the
8 of January. The DOCTORS certificate
showed that peritonitis was the cause
of death.

and whose life prospects were SO
bright and promising, should be taken
so soon by the reaper OF death; but
two short years ago she came to our
midst a happy bride, the wife OF Ar
thur Isbell, and now the husband is
not only bereft of his wife but saddest
of all a little child less than a year
old is lett without the tender care OF a
mother. Mrs. Isbell was a graduate
of the Cedar Falls High School and
also of the State Normal school. She
taught in the Cresco High School for
several years, and out of respect to
the deceased said school closed on
Wednesday and several Of the teachers
as we'll as number of the graduating
class attended the funeral services
here. which services were conducted
at the house, Rev. q. A. Parkins ohici-
ating. There was large congrega-
ton OF friends from this place, Cresco,
and DEBORAH, and many handsome
boquets of flowers were sent as a
tribute to the departed one. Immedi-
ately after the services the remains
were placed on board the train and
taken to Cedar Falls, accompanied by
the mourners, for interment at her
old home, where the burial hour was
set for two o'clock Thursday, SER

bodies have been recovered from the
debris left by Wednesdays disaster in
West Guthrie. The bodies of George
Owens and Mrs. Charles RutIins, were
found on the west bank OF the river.
The bodies of Henry Simmons and Mrs.
Watson and child were found under a
pile of hay near the Cimmarron. Mrs.
Watson and her child closely clutched
te. her breast, in which position both
met death. Scores of organized search
ing parties are at work, but progress IS
slow, since tons of debris must be dug
over in the search. 1t is believed that
the rushing waters of the Cimmarron
conceal many corpses. The Cimmarron
is two miles north of the city, and when
the flood came the waters of the Cot
tonwood Joined it. The Cimmarron's
bottom contains quicksand and it is
enc of the most treacherous streams in
the country. 1t flows into the Arkansas
in the east end of Paunee and it is like
y that several bodies not buried in the
sand have been carried on to the Arkan-
sas, which is also very high.

damned with wreckage and the bodies
of dead animals. Farmers are fishing
out and carrying off the wreckage by

tonwood river.
