Odessa Ledger.
The death OF Mr.. John strodtman, at his
home near Napoleon, Friday, July Ia,
removes from Lafayette county one OF its
very best men. Mr.. Strodtman was n
OF the first German settlers | n Lafayette
county, and when he first came to the
county located In the Vicinity OF Napo'
leon, near where he died. He represented
all that is typical Of the old German
farmer. Honest, upright, aud frugal, he
came here when the country was yet
undeyeiOped and applied his energies In
such a way that he accumulated quite a
nice conscience. The old pioneers that
developed aad made this Eden Of the
West to blossom as the rose are fast pass
ing away, but the rugged character oil
each and all OF them leaves an impress on
the community ia which they lived that
will be a lasting mouument to their great
work and good names. Five children
survive Mr.. strodtmsn, as follows;
Messrs. James, John and viii, all OF
whom are prosperous farmers and reside
ia the Wellington aud Napoleon neigh
borhood, and Mrs. Summers, of Lexing-
ton, and Mrs. Burnley, OF Jackson
county.

A GOOD LIFE ENDED.

Knoxville, (Tenn,) Tribune, July Stn'
Friday morning, at n O'Clock, James
Edelen peacefully passed away at MS
home In Kansas City, Mo. He was q
native Of Baltimore, Nd, from whence
he moved to Missouri, aud In the srring
Of 's7 located In Knoxville, Tenn, where
he lived until last fall, when he followed
his sons to Kansas City. The climate Of
that section did not prove satisfactory,
aud his health has been such that the end
was not unexpected. Mr.. Edelen leaves q
widow and Ave children. No man lived
A life more deserving the admiration,
respect and good will Of his fellow men
This life and character have always been
to me my ideal Of what q good mans
life should be. He was a model husband
father aud friend. He was pure In
thought, unselHsh In actions and false 70
no trust. There were no misspent days
and during his tedious illness no murmur'
OF complaint escaped his lips, but with
that courage that has characterized his
whole life he approached the end calmly
and without one struggle sank to resi-
TRANQUILITY and peacefully-a fitting crown
for q manly life.
Mr.. Edelen will be buried In his family
burning ground at Lexington, Mo.
His daughter, Mrs. Lille Daily, who
lives In this city, has the sympathy o
her friends 10 her loss.

H0AMP DEWEY,p

"UAMP W
Last Monday a few Of our boys caught
the camp lever. When q boy gets the
fever 1t acts on him q little more sudden
ly than II does on a man, but 1t gets them
both In good time. Blair Easter, James
McGrew, Milton Royle and James Cham
berlain concluded that they wanted to
spend the summer camping, and their
parents wisely agreed to the proposition.
The boys got a tent and carried 1t to
Scamp Dewey" which they established
near Chalybeate spring. They worked
like beavers all day, Monday, and had "a
real good time" They had plenty Of
provisions and cooking utensils, and life
seemed like q pleasant dream.
After supper Monday evening the
parents Of tue boys concluded to visit
Scamp Dewey" and encourage the
youngsters. They went, and the boys
were very proud, and treated their par
euts to some fine watermelons. But
night came on, and the parents had to
TO their homes. With loving
encouragement they told the boys good
by and came back to town.
Now the trouble began. The boys
began to prepare for bed. Each boy
wanted to sleep In the middle. They
were not afraid or course notl But q
boy likes to sleep In the middle, especially
on q hot night. After much wrangling
and little sleep and a continual fight oil
mosquitoes, they got through the night
It was all right to camp out In the day
time, but all wrong to camp out at night.
They got breakfast and dinner, and CON
cluded they had enough; and about the
time their parents were thinking Of send
ing them fresh supplies four bunny
looking boys surprised their parents by a
return home. Blair Easter was bunged
up like a prize fighter. The mosquitoes
had bloated his face aud hands till hii
own mother hardly knew him. The
Others were not as badly hurt as Blair
but all agree that camping out is a fraud
on general principles.
Bee the bargains In trimmed hats al

you are too poor to buy. 7.22tt
