DEATH OF MISS BALDWIN.

Many Denison friends will learn with
regret of the death of Miss Blanche
Baldwin which occurred at Redfield,
South Dakota, on October 26. Miss
Baldwin was daughter of Mr.. and
and Mrs. j. P. Baldwin so long resi-
dents of Denison. Miss Baldwin was a
student at Redfeld college at the time
of her death. ''The Sioux" a college
paper, speaks of her death as follows:
| On Thursday afternoon, October 26,
1899, Miss Blanche Baldwin heard and
responded to the summons which called
her from the busy scenes of this world
to her Fathers home.
Miss Blanche Baldwin was born near
Denison, Iowa, on the third day Of
August, 1877. and in 1892, moved to
Faulkton, South Dakota, with her
parents.
She was ambitious and 1onged for
the training and culture which col
lege life would afford her. For the two
years past she taught in order that she
might be enabled to attend college.
Her letters home were full of interest
in her new work and happy plans for
the future On October 49, she was
taken ill with typhus fever and her
mother was summoned at once. The
fever had abated and she appeared to
be on the road to recovery, when a
slight exertien caused sudden failure of
the heart
The funeral was held in the Congre
gational church at Faulkton Sunday,
the Goth, at two o'clock.
Although Miss Baldwin had been
associated with the students of the col
lege but short time, she had made
many warm friends She had strong
personality which won the love Of all
who knew her.

) expects to purchase several sections OF
land there through Luney Bros. & Co.'s.
Land and Investment Co. Among the
Denison purchasers so far are Judge
Conner, Carl Gronau, Sam Luney and
; b.. Y. Nicholson. The land sells for
$3.50 per acre and upwards, and may
. be paid one fifth in cash and the bal
ance in five yearly payments. The
land is good for wheat, flax and barley
and for grazing purposes. Owing to the
shortness of the season it is not a good
corn country.

IOWA FARM PRICES.

People who think farms are selling at high
prices in Iowa now should look around a lit
tie. They should not forget that nowhere
under the canopy of heaven can there be
better soil found for general farming pur-
poses than right here in this portion of the
central Mississippi valley. Only few DAYS
ago we noticed in an Illinois paper that q
farm rear the town of Pontiac sold for 1876 am
acre; and in Mclean County the farms range
from SO TO Sl25 per acre, owing to location
and improvements. Iowa lands are equally
as rich as those of Illinois, and Iowa is but n
few years behind her sister state in progress
and general improvement. Iowa farms are
cheap at present prices, and the men who
buy them and keep them, VIII be certain in
a few years that they are among the fortu
nate ones of the country. The Iowa farmer
who owns the farm has one great advantage
over men engaged in other industries. His
land-his stock in trade-is steadily advance
ing in value. But the man who has his
money invested in buildings or a stock of
goods finds his property, as a rule, steadily
depreciating. The young man of today who
can get hold of piece of Iowa land, and
makelrnerely living from it, will find him
self in fifteen or twenty years worth double
the money he is at present, due entirely to
the increased value of his land. As n rule.
the contrary OF this is true In other voca-
lions. --Webster City Freeman

Improvement was only temporary, as the
