1t is with sad heart that we take
our pen to chronicle the death of our
beloved friend, neighbor and brother.
Samuel Hrister, who passed peacefully
across the dark river, surrounded by
host of weeping relatives and friends
on the morning of the 25th inst, at his
home near Bogue Chitto.
Bro. Brister never enjoyed good
health, and for two years passed it was
sadly realized that his stay on earth
would be short. With seeming pre-
sentiment that the end was drawing
nigh, he took his bed six weeks pre-
vious to his death, and said to his
family, FIJI never get up any more. "
During these long days and weeks
of confinement, he was unconscious
much of the time. But on Sunday,
six days previous to his death, he
aroused to a state of consciousness.
called his wife and nine children to
his dying bed, and in a perfectly calm
and composed manner, gave some
family directions, after which, in a
manner as if going on pleasure trip,
he reached forth his pale thin hand
and one by one, he babe them all a
long farewell, exhorting them to meet
him in Heaven, saying to his aged
mother, God bless you, wish | could
take you with me to Heaven, but you IL
come SOON" He then closed his eyes
and never rallied any more In the
presence of large assembly, the
funeral service was conducted by Rev.
j. K. Lowe, and the rites performed at
the family hurying ground near Pleas
ant Hill church. where his remains
were laid peacefully away to await the
resurrection morn.
Bro. Brister died in the fiftieth
year of his age, was baptised into the
fellowship of Pleasant Hill Baptist
church % years ago, by Rev. w. H.
Bailey, who is so soon to join him in a
happy reunion above the skies. May
God grant that those of us who are
but stragglers from the main army
that have already crossed deaths dark
river, one day be permitted to join
them in that Happy land far, far
away"

To his command we bow;
Part of the hosts have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.

B Ottumwa. Sept. s.Airs. Charles
Kuhn, of Delta, has been placed in the

charged with the murder of her hus-

Tuesday evening. News Of the affair
has just reached the outside world, and
there is said to be another man in the
case.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Kuhn. in company
with his wife, drove over to the mining
town Of What Cheer. and while there
bought four bottles of beer. two of
which were drank on the road home.
Just before reaching Delta, Kuhn gave

away, and taken to a physicians Office,
but was beyond help and died in few
minutes. His last words We're addressed
to his wife, and were: You have poi
soned me.
The coroner's inquest was held the
next morning, and the circumstances
were so peculiar that a post norton
was also held. The evidence was so
strong against the wife that she was
arrested and brought to Sigourney,
where she was placed in jail. The evil
dence is said to have shown that the
deed was premeditated.

DARING ROBBERY Al TRAER.

10 Quickly Captured.

Traer, Sept. 8.-Dr. j. H. Naureth
had an experience on Wednesday night
that he will not forget for 969 years. A
little after 8 o'clock in the evening two
apparently we'll dressed men entered his
drug store, and one of them asked for
an express order for $50. Mr.. Naureth
got his blank books and sat downtat his
desk and proceeded to draw up the nee
essary instrument. The second gentle
man stood at his left for short time.
then stepped in front Of a large mirror
in the rear of the store and beside the
desk at which Mr.. Naureth was writ
ing. The safe door was standing open
and in an instant the thief had his hand
in the drawer and gra bbed a handful Of
bills and started to walk for the door
Mr.. Naureth noticed the walk was very
much faster than usual and instantly
the thought struck him he was robbed
and he shouted Stop THAI" whereupon
the thief commenced to run. DIR. Nau-
erth at once knew what was up and
dropped everything and took after the
thief in full force up the street, shouting
at every jump, Stop thief" It was a
race for life and money and the doctor
succeeded in bringing his man to grief
near the First National bank. In an
instant at least fifty men were in hot
pursuit, but Nauerth could outrun them
all, and seized his victim by the throat
and almost choked him to snlithereens.
The thief was taken at once to the Office
of Mayor Baker and held until the next
morning and then conveyed to the coun-
ty jail. The amount Of money taken
can not be ascertained exactly until all
the express books are checked up, but
| 1T is estimated that at least $50 was
taken. The thief got little or none OF
| this az he lost most of it during his mad
rush up the street. The small boy and
the lookers-on pocketed most of it, as
DR.. Nauerth could not afford to lose
sight of his desperate prize. We have
had bold robberies in Traer, but this
one leads the climax. 1t takes skill and

Business 10 Increasing.
B Des Moines. Sept. 8.--Reports to the
contrary notwithstanding, the facts do
not bear out the statement that the
business OF dairying in Iowa is on the
decline.
The annual report Of the state dairy
is now being prepared
and Is required to be in the hands OF the
governor by Nov, 1. The report, which
will contain a thorough resume Of the
condition OF the dairying interests OF
the state, will show those interests to be
prosperous. There will be nothing like
the exceptional growth in the dairy
business that has marked some years
in the past, but that 1t will hold its own
is assured.
Inquiry at the office OF the dairy COM
missioner yesterday developed the fact
that a large number OF new creameries
have been established In the state this
year. Eighty-nine new establishments
are known to have been started and not
all OF the new ones have been reported
to the commissioners Office yet. One of
the peculiar features OF the business
this year is that in some Of the coun-
| ties where there has been little atten-
taken on strong and sudden impetus.
In number Of counties little given to
dairying prior to this three, four and
even Ave new creameries are reported.
The increased business In these coun-
tits will Offset any decline that may
come about in some OF the big dairying
counties Of the state.
It is peculiar that the history Of

cultural industry are Improbable and
How prices Of grain and stock prevail.

and the tendency is for all farmers to

prices are good, and prices on cattle and
