; months and II days old. In 1872, he

1 Husband, now of Des Moines, and Mrs. c.
Laughery, Of Maxwell. In 1863, Mr.. Hus-
band and family left their native State
and came TO Iowa, locating in the north
western part of Polk county. In 1874. he
removed to Dallas Center, Dallas county,
and later to Waukee, where his days were

fected at various periods in his lifetime

a few hours before his death. He united
with the Christian church in early man

awaited his Masters call. and while his
bereaved companion and children keenly
feel their loss, yet they mourn not as those
who have no hope.-Maxwen Tribune.

the Board of Health last week called a
town meeting for the purpose Of securing
an expression from the citizens in regard

zens TO enter upon the contemplated work
with full knowledge of the task they
must soon assume. Mr.. Krebs pointed
out the necessity of first establishing bor-
ough grade lines something Somerset
has never bad) and referred incidentally
to a number of mistakes which he be-
lieves to have been made in the past TO
the detriment Of the town. No definite
action was taken at the meeting, but there
is a responsibility resting upon those in
authority that they cannot cast aside
without imperiling the health of the en-
tire town. The foul smelling and filthy

enpants Of abutting properties, but they
