A Pioneer Gone.

Ole D. Haugen, one of the old resi-
dents of this county, passed away at
four o'clock Monday morning, at his
home in Madison township, three
miles west of this city, at the age of
72 years. He came to this country
from Norway in 1866, settling in
Springfield township, this county, and
three years later moved to Madison
township, where he has since resided.
He leaves wife, six sons and one
daughter. Mr.. Haugen was an es-
teemed and respected citizen, and the
sympathies of many friends go out to
the bereaved ones.
The funeral services will be held
from the home tomorrow Thursday J
noon, Rev. H. G.. Stub, of this city,
officiating.

Sowing the Wind.

"Sowing the Wind" is a dramatic
sermon on social injustice to woman
and social kindness to man; a lecture
picturing mans moral liberty and the
narrow confines of woman's freedom.
The play is always profoundly interest
ing. and the character drawing is SC
clever and so skillfully contrasted; the
subject is so vital and so aggressively
handled and the dialogue has such dis
tinct value that people ofany theatrical
intelligence must at once be interested
and entertained. To miss Sowing the
Wind" which is to be seen here on
December 29th, at the New Grand,
means to miss the theatrical event OF
the season.

horticultural Meeting.

The Winnesheik County Horticultur.
al Society met at the court house on
last Saturday AFTERNOON. AT two
o'clock the meeting was called to order
by the president. After the prelmi.
naries the subject of growing black ber-
ries was taken up and discussed at
length by Rev. }. Ridley and others;
the discussion was very interesting.
H. A. Bigelow then read a paper on
growing apples in Iowa. 1t was very
valuable paper although not very en-
couraging to fruit growers of this sec-
ton, and is printed elsewhere in this
issue. A. Jacobson gave his experience
in drying apples. He also gave de-
scription of an evaporator of his own
make which attracted much attention.
N. o. Blue, of Locust, presented a
number of varieties of apples of his own
raising from the seed, many of which
were equal to our standard apples.
The idiscussion in all was one of the
best we have ever heard. The election
of officers then took place. Mr.. e.
Brakeman was chosen president, r. f.
TYLER, secretary, after which the meet
ing adjourned to meet again on the
in January, 1899.

over him. Kjerland then walked
home, went into the house, and up
stairs into the bedroom, and said to
his wife, "I've killed Gilbertson
deader than mackerel. I shot a
hole clear through his - head.
l am going to kill you, too" Then
he choked her, and she began biting
one of his fingers. She got away from
him, and crawled under the bed, but
he dragged her out and stabbed her
twenty-three times about her breast
and side with pocket knife. He also
threw her on the floor and jumped
upon her, stamping her about the head
and chest. She broke light out of the
window and called for help, and her
cries were heard by neigh Dor, but he
