A PIONEER IS DEAD.
Jacob Hahn, an Old settler, Died This
Morning.

:
Jacob Hahn, one of the oldest set
tiers of Ottumwa, died at 2:2O o'clock
this morning at his home, No. 219
North Birch street. Mr.. Hahn has
been belfast but few days and his
death will come as shock to, many
people in this city with whom he has
been SO long acquainted. The funeral
will take place from his late residence
at o'clock Monday afternoon under
the auspices of the Ottumwa Turnve-
rim society, of which the deceased was
member. The services will be con-
Quoted by Rev. Jahr, pastor of the Ger
man Lutheran church.
Jacob Hahn was born in the village
of Besziesdorf in the province of Hesse
Darmstadt, Germany, May %, 1926.
He served three years in the German
army from April, 1913, to July, 1s49,
was in the army when the broil be-
tween Germany and Denmark occur
red. Mr.. Hahn left Marburg, Germa-
ny, May S, 1852, and took passage on
a sailing vessel for America, Six weeks
after he landed in Baltimore and on
October 81, 1852, he was married TO
Miss Catherine Schaub, whom he: had
met in the old country and who had
preceded him to America. From Bal
timore the couple went to Marietta,
Ohio. After short stay they came
down the Ohio river and up the Missip-
pi to Keokuk. From thence they went
to Mt. Pleasant where the land Office
was located, for the purpose of enter
ing piece of land near Ottumwa. He
WIS ted that Ottumwa would never
amount to anything and the best place
to enter land was near Abba, Monroe
| county. This he did and the journey
was made by stage; the women folks
riding and the men walking almost the
entire distance. Mr.. Hahn held the
land he and his wife had settled on
until a few years ago when he disposed
of it. A short time after moving to
Abba they came to Ottumwa. He has
ever since been identified with the city
and at the time when the Catholic
church at the corner of Court and
Fourth streets was being built in 1855,
helped to quarry the stone that was
put into the structure. Mrs. Hahn died
August o, 1869. To this union there
We're born eight childrea, William and
Otto, deceased, John, Peter. Gerhart
Frederick, Mrs. Annie Lopacher and
Mrs. Katie Brown, all of whom reside
in Ottunwa. Mr.. Hahn was twice mar
ried. The second time to Miss Amelia
Barthy, October 80, 1877, who survives
him. To this union two children were
born, viz: Louise and Jacob both de
ceased.
Mr.. Hahn was an honored member
of the Turnverein society,having joined
that order soon after its institution in
this city. The funeral services will be
under their auspices and interment
Twill be made in the Ottumwa Gene

SPEAK OUT.
The Searchlight of Publicity is
Pleasing Ottumwa People.

Pleasing Ottumwa People.
Publicity is what the people want.
+ Let the public speak on the subject.
There has been too much claim-too
little proof.
There is only one kind of proof for
an Ottumwa citizen:
The experience of people we know.
When friends and neighlbors endorse.
No question about such evidence.
This kind of proof backs every box
of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is case of it:
Mr.. John w. Rice, carpenter, living
near Mineral Springs, says: For years
/ had kidney complaint characterized
by persistent and most distressing pain
across the loins and in and through
the kidneys. Now, if the first box of
Doan's Kidney Pills procured at VIII
L. Sargent's drug store had not pro-
duced positive effects, I never would
have followed the treatment further
by purchasing five boxes, neither would
I have advised my wife to use this
medicine. She, like myself, had at.
tacks of kidney complaint and like
myself she obtained from the use Of
Doan's Kidney Pills results equally en-

A STORMS TRAVELS.
It Changed It's Form, But It Went All
 Over the World

oNSl tliC W ci lb.
 "Queer how a story will travel some times," remarked an old reporter, spin ming yarns for some of the younger boys q remember years ago fellow on one of the Denver papers wrote a thrilling narrative about a prospector named Allen who found a fabulously Cross. The peak is one of the highest and most rugged in Colorado, and gets its name from two enormous guches that cross at right angles on its very crest. They are always full of snow, and from the valley the cross stands out in wonderful relief from a back ground of volcanic rock. Thomas Moran painted a famous picture of it, and away back in the seventeenth century, when the Spanish buccaneers pushed up the canon of the Colorado, the, padres thought it was a sign from heaven and said high mass. The Den yer story was, of course, fake No hu- man being has ever sealed that fright full acclivity, but Allen, who had con- scented beforehand to the use of his name, was a well known character and the yarn was swallowed for gospel truth. Then it began to travel The eastern papers all copied it, and one journal printed a full-page illustration. Pretty soon it crossed the Atlantic and after wandering through the English press began to appear translated in the papers of France and Germany. It is a strange thing, but stories always trav- el eastward. This one went over the continent like an epidemic and passed. through all manner of extraordinary mutations in transit from one language to another It was translated from French to Spanish, from Spanish to Italian to Russian, and at last it got into the Orient and disappeared Sever al years later an English weekly print ed at Hong Kong contained a strange story of an American explorer named Linwan who had found monstrous cruciflx of gold on top of the Rocky Mountains. It was copied from a na- tive paper and was all that was left of the original fake. Heaven only knows how much tradition it manufactured en route. The story was subsequently, re- printed in San Francisco with some &C., count of it's genesis. It was almost im- possible to believe it was the same old Holy Cross yarn but the evidence was indisputable "-New Orleans Times Democrat

The sales were over a mill lion shares for the third time this week, while on the other two days the trading was but little short of the million share mark. Transactions so far this week exceeded those of any similar period In the exchanges history. Lon don in the early trading was a purchas CT, but subsequently, the preponderance of the arbitrage dealings was of sales. Commission houses and traders were big purchasers in the general list. In- terest frequently fluctuated from one stock to another. and when any stock started upward a following continued the rise. The reduction in the floating supply in the prime dividend paying stocks and their attendant higher lev el led to renewed interest in the lower priced stocks. There was also a large demand for the standard stocks the grangers and New York Central lead ing. Burlington Rock Island and St

THE MEDDLER."
Stuart Robson in a New Play by Au-
 gustus Thomas.

Stuart Robson in a New Play by Au- gustus Thomas
 Stuart Robson, supported by Marie Burroughs and a competent company, , appeared at the Hyperion theater last evening before large and fashionable
 audience. ''The Meddler," new play
 by Augustus Thomas, Stuart Robon Is the possessor of genial talent In the line of eccentric comedy and is one of the most popular actors on the stage. His scope is narrow and his style is in- variable, but he has had the wisdom to recognize his limitations and contine himself almost exclusively to one line or parts. His one recent excursion h. to serious roles was made last year in his production of well known novel by Opie Read. In this he made what is called critical" success, but the pub- lie refused to accept him in this unusu- al aspect, hence, we judge, his return to role like that of Francis Eli, obvi- ously "architected" to inspire the Rob- son squeak and shutter and tremulan- do staccato utterance And this is not derogatory to the actor, because he is necessarily the public's slave. His per formance last night was spontaneously droll and was clever and expert man. Hesitation of comic virtuosity. Robson has surrounded himself with a notably fine company of players, including Ma rie Burroughs Maude Granger, Ger trude Perry and Mrs. Robson, and Theodore Babcock, Frank c. Bangs and Harold Russell.
 The play is by the man who stood few years ago at the head of the Amer ican dramatists, but whose recent pro- ductions have decidedly fallen off In merit and this latest output is hardly likely to increase his reputation. The first act is capital, the second not so good and the third lamentably weak and inconclusive. And the effect of the closing scenes was injured by inap- propriate levlty on the part of some of the performers. A special word of ap- probation is due Miss Marie Burroughs, who was vision of loveliness and acted with great spirit and intelligence.
