riage of Mr.. Charles 7. Brownell and
Miss Jessie L. Davis. The ceremony

Walker. The bridal couple attended
by Rev. G. f. Lusk, descended from the

under an arch and before bank of
flowers, the ceremony was performed.
The bride looked beautiful, arrayed in
gown of white silk with pearl trim
mings, her dark hair was ornamented
with white roses She also carried q
large boquet of beautiful green house

DIES MONIES, Iowa,
June 20, 1899.
The average temperature of the past
week was about normal. Very heavy
showers on the 18th and 18th brought Il
great excess of rainfall on the. western
slope and over the greater portion of
the northern half of the state. Follow
ing are some of the heavier amounts
reported; Harrison county, 6 90 inches;
Carroll, 4 26; Crawford 70; Adair,
3.40; Mills, 2.74; Monons. 2.63; Pao
Alto, 2.S8; Buena Vista, 265; Webster,
2.56; Black Hawk, 4.4s; Bremen. Alb;
Wright, 4.5O; Humboldt, 404; Franklin
1866; Winnebago, BIO; Floyd, 2.6l;
Howard, 2.26; Winneshiek, 2.29. Con-
siderable damage by floods and soil
erosion resulted from these showers,
and the needed work of cleaning the
corn fields was delayed On the 18th
considerable damage was caused by local
hail and windstorms in some of the
couuties III the central ana noHhern
districts. ~
Despite these drawbacks fair pro-
gress has been made in cultivating the
corntields, and in finishing planting in
the southern section. The condition of
corn is very uneven, and the output un-
certain; but will favorable conditions
in the future it is possibleto bring the
crop up to nearly an average in the
larger part of the state.
Reports from nearly all sections con-
firm previous advices as to the rank
growth of spring wheat, oats and bar
ley, and the danger of loss by lodging
Grass, potatoes, gardens and small fruit
have been favored by the abundant
moisture.

Henry Baker.

The passing of Henry Baker, whose
death occurred last Friday, removes from
this county one of its oldest settlers,
one who had for more than fifty eight
years been identified with its growth
and prosperity.
He was man of sterling integrity
generous, public spirited, and bore we'll
his part in every relation in life.
He was born in Rensselaer, county,
N. Y. on the goth day of February 1914.
When he was three years old his
parents removed to Oneida county
where they remained for six years, and
then moved overland to Oakland
county, Michigan, at that time 1929
considered the western frontier. In
1884 he, with his parents again changed
locations, settling this time in Lena wee
county, the same state, near where.the
town of Morenci now stands. 1t was
here that he met, and on June 2, 1910
married, Miss Elizabeth w. Coffin, to
which event is pro badly attributed the
fact Of his coming to this county, for
soon after his marriage his wife's
parents, Judge and Mrs. Clement q.
Coffin, came and settled in what is now
known as Collins Grove, and from
whom the township takes its name.
| Being we'll pleased with their new
home, Judge Coffin wrote to Mr.. Baker
of Its many advantages, and in May of
the following year Q841), Mr.. and Mrs.
Baker set out in covered wagon with
the view of seeing the new country and
locating here if it pleased them. They
: were pleased with it and Mr.. Baker at
once purchased eighty acres of govern
ment land on which he built a log cabin
IL by II feet, for temporary use, and in
the fall of that year erected q story and
a half log house, sixteen by twenty-five
= feet, which they occupied as HON,
! until 1856 when the fine brick residence
on his present large farm was built.
There were but two families Living
in what is now Collins Grove township
when Mr. and Mrs. Baker settled there
wild game was plentiful, and for severa
yevrs thereafter Indians were frequen
visitors to the new settlement.
, Mrs. Baker died in 1853 at the age o
Q forty three years.
= OF the four children born to them
4 but one Is living, Mrs. A. j. Hersey, o
It Collins Grove, with whom her fathe
y was living at the time of his demise
l. and had been for number of year
9 prior thereto.
8 Mr.. Baker was one of the first CON
t. missioners of this county, held the otfic
y of Justice of the Peace for fourtee
t. years and served in other minor office
g. The funeral services were held Sur
s day at his late residence, Rev. Amo
l. Crum, of Webster City, officiating, an
n the remains were laid to rest in tn

Meeting of Property Owners to Form
an Improvement Association.

Meeting of Property Owners to Form
an Improvement Association
Sixteen persons owning property on
Lexington avenue, between Summit ave-
nue. and Como park, were present at an
informal meeting held yesterday after
noon at the office of the board Of public
works. The object was to organize an
association to be known as the Lexing-
ton Avenue Improvement association,
and partial organization was effected
by the election Of E. B. Smith as presi-
dent.
President Wheelock, of the park board.
explained to the property owners present
that it was the intention Of the park
board to make the avenue the principal
approach to Como park. One of the OBJ
stacles to the proposed improvement was
that the majority of the property along
the avenue fronted on the cross streets
instead Of on the avenue. In order to
have handsome parkway it would be
necessary to have he building line on
the avenue at least Airty feet from the
sidewalk Under the present plating
of the property this could not be done,
but he suggested that the property with
the consent Of the owners could be re-
plated and this could be done without
much inconvenience, as nearly all of 1t
unimproved.
There were 397 owners of the land along
the thfrty-seven blocks between Summit
avenue and the park and cards sent to
these have brought out the information
that 162 are in favor of forming an asso-
citation and improving the street under
the direction and plan as proposed by
the park board. Sixteen Of the owners
objected to the proposed Improvement
and 29l have not been heard from
The next meeting of the association
will be called by the president The
Northern Pacific railroad company has
offered to donate a strip of land 40 by
500 feet in order to allow the widening
of the avenue adjacent to the tracks of
the company and this improvement will
be the first thing done by the park board.
