OBITUARY.
Dow City CORRESPONDENT

Died-In Mckay Hospital at Jac,son,
tennessee, on Monday morning July o,
1900, Harold Heath Hammond the only
son of Mrs. E. L. Hammond of Dow CITY.
aged ~ years and II days.
The above news, the substance of which
was telegrayhed to this, his home, at 1:35
P. m, last Monday, fell upon this com
mun1ty like a terrific thunder bolt from a
clear sky and plunged the whole town into
the depths of sorrow Hal, as he was bet
ter known. had only been absent from
home little less than seven weeks an6
had gone to Jackson as a track apprentice
with the engineering corps of l. c. r. r.
Co. at that place. He worked only about
two weeks when he contracted the typhoid
fever which proved fatal.
His remains were brought to this city
on July II. where the funeral services
were held in the M. E. church at o'clock
?. m. of the same day. The ceremonies
were in charge of Globe Lodge No. $50 1.
o. O. F., of which pody Hal was a worthy
member and officer The organization in
memorial uniform met at the train the
widowed and childress mother together
with her nephew Mr.. John Heath of
Waterloo. Mr.. A. c Butterworth. a per
sonal friend, and employee of l. c. r. r.
OF Dubuque and the lodge delegates. Mes
sers Jay Bell and G. V. Whalev both in
innate friends of the deceased, who met
the funeral train at Fit Dodge and ac-
companied the friends ard remains to the
church which was beautifully and beauti-
fully decorated with cut flowers, emblem
designs, rotted plants and ferns The
floral tributes were many coming from the
lodge aud his numerous ilady am gentle
men friends. together with garlands of cut
flowers from w. F. NJ S.
After the lodge rite, Rev. I. B. Harris
OF Denison. preached the sermon of sym
pathy and consolation. The remains were
viewed by at least 500 friends and acquain-
tances from this and neghbo1ing towns.
The ceremony was concluded at the Gene
terry to which place large concourse of
friends and rel tves followed the remains.
Harold's death is but another reminder
that we are born but to die and that we
are to realize that life is but as a va
por, which appeareth but for a short time
and then vanisheth away. A young life
full of the bloom of youth and energy of
daring manhood has gone from our midst
to dwell with the father who had proceed
ed him only about eighteen months. May
the arm of the Almighty, the Comforter
and Sustalner of the widow and orphan,
support the bereaved mother who still re-
mains, and who has lived and lahored SO
ong for those who have gone before her.

DIR. Clarke's Wise Dog.

The late DR.. James Freeman Clarke
used to tell this amusing story of his
dog:
AT one time my dog was fond Of
going to the railway station to see the
people, and | always ordered him to go
nome, fearing he would be hurt by the
cars. He easily understood that if he
went there it was contrary to my
wishes. So whenever he was near the
station ii he saw me coming, he would
look the other way and pretend not to
know me. II he met me anywhere
else, he always bounded to meet me
with great delight. But at the station
1t was quite different. He would pay
no attention to my whistle or my call.
He even pretended to be another dog
and would look me right in the face
without apparently recognizing me. He
gave me the cut direct in the most i'm
pertinent manner, the reason evidently
being that he knew he was doing what
was wrong and did not like to be found
out. Possibly he may have relied
little on my nearsightedness in his
maneuver. "-Outlook

NOTICE.
DENIsoN. Iowa, July End 1900.
To the Township Trustees and Road
Supervisors of Crawford County. la.
The legislature at its last session re-
pealed the former law relating to the
cutting of weeds along the highway
and its stead enacted the following:
Sec. / 1t shall be the duty of road
supervisors to cause to be cut, near the
surface, all weeds on the public roads
in their respective districts, between
the 18th day of July and the 18th dav
OF August in each year. But nothing
herein shall prevent the land owner
from harvesting the grass grown upon
the roads along his LAND in the proper
season."
AS will be seen from reading of the
above it is part of the duty of the super
visor to attend to this matter. and as
the repeal of the old law does away
with the provision for taxing the cost
OF cutting up to the property owner,
the cost now will be at the expense of
the district. This new law makes it
absolutely the duty of the road super
visor and does not make any provision
for the land owner doing it. This act
is in effect this year.

Vancouver, B. c.. March 1.-THE

Northern British Columbia ports with
three Indian prisoners In charge Of In

The offenses they are to be tried for
were committed at a potlactch some
three weeks ago given by Chief Gill
hunk, who won a fortune packing in
the Klondike. He called the three
tribes together to give that fortune
away in blankets and provisions.
During the potlactch some whisky
soaked old hays got recalling the good
old days when cannibals were canni-
balls. and the ancient death dance was
called for. Martyrs we're asked to step
into the circle. Two young bucks and
an Indian maiden answered the call
and stood near the fire naked while
them, darting at them and biting
pieces out of their arms and legs and
eating bleeding morsels. When the
young savages had dashed themselves
into a mad frenzy, corpses were called
for, and three Indians who had re-
Gently died were placed on the fire,
when the young savages tore the flesh
or the corpses from the bones and de-
voured it half-burned. A missionary
complained to the government and

SMALLPOX DISTRIBUTORS.
How the Germs Are Nurtured and the
Disease IL Spread.


It would seem that people will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread Of that dire epidemic,
smallpox. throughout different se;-
tons OF the country has been traced
by physicians and sanitarians in many
instances directly to the moldy and
rotting layers Of paper and paste
which cover the walls Of many houses.
The practice of laying layer after layer
OF paper on wall. using common
-four paste. is especially calculated to
create homes for disease germs Peo-
pie could not do more to effect such
result II they tried. The rottIng vege-
table matter affords caves from which
are ready to dart forth the infection
at every opportunity. There Is no ex-
cuse for this practice, as walls AMI
ceilings can be coated with a pure.
clearly and sanitary material like Ala
hastine, for instance, at no greater ex-
pense. Alabastine is rock-ba3e
cement, which incorporates itself with
the wall or ceiling. 1t Is easily APP
piled, comes ready to mix with cold
water. requires no washing or scrap
ing before renewing or retinting, Is
beautiful. long-lasting and safe.
For walls that have been infected.
nothing is equal to Alabastirre as a
disinfectant to render them pure and
clean and the rooms once more habit
