costly Train for soldler.,

Des Moines, Sept. 19.-It will cost
the state of Iowa $4,000 to bring the
Fifty-frst Iowa home from San Fran
cisco to Council Bluffs. Adjutant Cen
eral Byers, after calling on all the
roads engaged in, the .trans-continental
service, says this is without much
doubt the lowest figure that can be Sc.
cured. He first went to Chicago to
negotiate with the roads having head
quarters there, ands thence went to
Omaha to figure with the Union Pacific
management. The latter road has not
yet made its bid, but it is expected to
forward figures at an early date.

Mrs. Lottie G. Brown was born in
Galva, Ill, Sept. 25, 1868, and died at
her home in Avery, sept. ID, 1899,
aged 80 years. II months and is days.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Philip Cell, of Gilchrist, I'll. She was
united in marriage to III. I. Brown, of
Avery, at the parental home in Gil
christ, ILL.,, June 90, 1897, and the day
following sheir marriage, they departed
for their future home at Avery, where
they have since resided up to the time
OF her death. She united with the II.
=. church in Ottumwa about six years
ago. and she was faithful Christian
woman until her death. She taught
school for eight consecutive years, and
she was so devoted and so enthusiast
gcally attached to this, her chosen line
of work, that many believe her ambi-
: tons exceeded her physical strength,
and thereby hastened, to some extent,
her early departure from the busy
scenes of this life.
Her funeral took place on Thursday
at o'clock p. M, Elder Pearson offic-
iating. The remains we're escorted
from the residence to the church by a
large lconcourse of sympathizing
IrlendS, among whom were the WOou-
men circle. the Odd Fellows and the
i K. of P. lodges. At the. close of the
funeral services at the church, the re-
mains were borne from the church to
the depot by the lodges and very
large crowd of friends and neighbors.
Her. remains We're shipped to Monroe,
Jasper county, for burial. Those who
accompanied the remains to Monroe
were her father, mother, and sister,
the husband. his brother and sister,
John Gilchrist. and Mrs. G. SECULAR of
Davenport, who Joined the company at
Oskaloosa. They were met at the de-
pot at Monroe by large company of
friends, who accompanied them to the
cemetery. where the AZ. e. preacher
held q short service before her mortal
remains were lowered into their last
resting place.
Mr.. Brown will still make Avery his
home. He has been in business here
for several years, and he has the SYM
pathy of all our people, in the death
OF his dear companion, who has now
entered that rest that remaineth to
the people Of God.
