On last Saturday morning the news
of the death of John q, Sudmeier, q
prominent farmerliving two miles north
of New Vienna, was brought to this
city, and it cast shadow of sorrow
over the countenaces of his many friends
and acquaintance. Mr.. Sudmeier had

as usual on Saturday morning, his son
went to his room and found him cold
in death. The rightly Of the body

several hours. He has been troubled
with heart disease for some time past
and 1t is supposed that that was the
cause of his death. Mr.. Sudmeier was
in this city on the Wednesday previous
to his death, and from here went to
Dubuque to consult physician in re
gard to his condition. At that time
he was the picture of good health and
that he would be SO soon called to the
other world did not once enter the
minds of any who were with him on
on that day.
The deceased was nearly 60 years of
age and native of Germany. He
came to this country when quite small
boy and lived in Ohio for many years
He came to New Vienna nearly forty
years ago and has since made his home
there. His wife died many years ago

mourn his departure: Mrs. John Coed
ken of Petersburg; Mrs. Ignatz Diers
of New Vienna; Mrs. Frank lettering
of Bancroft; Josephine, now sister in

TURNING THE LEAVES.
The Frost Has but Little TO DO with
the CoIoriug of Them.


DIR. W. j. Beal, professor of botany
at Lansing, Mich, has made a statement
of particular interest Just at this time
IN response TO question propounded by
the superintendent of one OF the schools
of Michigan. The question was: Which
is first 10 be affected by the frost hard
or soft mape-Which turns or colors
| first -
DR. Beal says this question is often
asked about this season of the year. aud
he replies that frost has very little to do
with the coloring of leaves, except to
turn them brown. Perhaps Il very light
frost is not injurious. y number OF CON
ditions favor this coloring. \ late.
rather dry autumn IS favorable 10 gay
cOlorS AS to which color first, DIR. Beal
says that individual trees of each variety
color. and frequently any tree will be
found to vary in this respect when taken
for series of years. Often one side of Il
tree, or Il single branch or more, will
show color earlier or later than the rest
of the tree. Sometimes a red maple
shows color very well in August. As a
general thing red naples color first, but
he has known OF numerous exceptions
The brilliant colorS are due TO n ripeniug
process not unlike that of apples. and
the chemical changes taking place are
complicated and not all fully under
stood
The red colorS are due to a red liquid
in the cells; the yellow to change in
color of the semi-solid chlorophyl gran
ules from green TO yellow. The brown
color is not due TO the color of the sap
or cell contents, but to a change in the
cell wall itself
DR. Beal says our climate is remark
able for its autumn tints, the trees of
Europe not showing this popularity to
any marked extent Even our trees
when grown there show little color. In
winter the leaf green of cNergreens
