once again death claimed one of our
OLD citizens. This time it was Adam
ISteinman, who lived with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. John Bolger.
Mr.. Steinman was born in Hessen,
Darmstadt, Germany, in 1872. In 1924
he, like many Others of his country
men, left his land of birth and came to
America, first settling in Pennsylva-
MA; Then he went to Ohio, where he
married Miss Rebecca Klautz in 1889
Who bore him two sons and three
daughters. OF these one son, George.
died in infancy; John, Sarah, Mary and
Leah survive their father. The wife
and mother also preceded him to the
other world many years ago. Mr..
Stelnman moved from Ohio to Illinois
and in 1858 came to Iowa; in Winnie
shelk Co., where he lived mostly till
death called him. He had been ailing
TOT several weeks and itseemed medical
help could do him no good. On Oct.
II, 1899, he quietly fell asleep, from
whence there is no awakening in this
world. Funeral services were held in
the German NJ. e. church, conducted
by Rev. w. V. Schling, in German and
English, preaching from the text, .

HIGH SCHOOL.


During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one Of the leading citizens and
merchants Of Clay, Clay Co. w. Va,
struck his leg against cake of ice in
such a manner as to bruise itseverely.
1t became very much swollen and
panied him so badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches. He
was treated by physicians, also used
several kinds of liniment and two and
half gallons of whisky in bathing it,
but nothing gave any relief until be-
gan using Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
This brought almost a complete cure
in weeks time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated. Pain
Balm is unequaled for sprains, bruises
and rheumatism. For sale by DR.. Wm.
Connolly.

Greatly as we admire the oratory of
our noble executive, there are times
when we seem to discern some obfusca-
tion in his statement of facts. At
Iowa Falls for instance, he assured his
hearers that the Almighty had given
us the Philippines without seeking
them. AT Waterloo he attributed our
occupationof the archipelago to Amer-
lean valor. The statements really ap-
pear to conflict somewhat. AT any
rate, it Providence really did present

stand why a particularly lively insur-
