Friendship is said to be out of date.
We certainly have not much lime to
spare nowadays. even to reflect on
what the rush and hurry and hustle
of modern life are costing rs. Now
and again, however. there is borne in
upon us the sad realization of the
losses we sustain as we tear and
scramble through what we now call
life. And is not one OF these the power
Of establishing close friendships? 1t Is
a sad reflection, but the more we think
of 1t the truer we shall find 1t to be.
that we no longer have time to knit
together those bonds of true friend.
ship and affection which bound our
predecessors together and made life
sweet to them. We are always in q
hurry, rushing here and there; we
meet and know many people in crowds,
and yet never have time to under
-tand them, to give them or gain from
them sympathy; we can scarcely
spare an hour. that is unconnected
with some form Of entertainment or
some business matter to those we call
our closest friends. Letter writing
has been reduced to its least common
denominator. as time presses on US SO
heavily. and we have no pursuits that
we can share with our so-called I. lends
that enable us to study each others
characters. Friendship, in fact, has
become a mere term with the general

There are about 1000 people there,
many of them in destitute circum-

much uneasiness prevails among the
unfortunates. rs they can see no pros

ahead but suffe ring and perhaps death.
Before the Thomson sailed from
Nome report reached here that rich
diggings had been struck on Bluestone

reported that they had found plenty of

not been appointed. The resignation
read to take effect Immediately, and at

connection with the organization. Ac-

his action was due to misunderstood

also to the fact, that there are many
things that present themselves in the
management of an organization of this

Funeral OF Minnie rwedell.

THE. funeral services for Miss Min
ME Twedell were held at the East End
Presbyterian church, Sunday after
noon at 2 o'clock. The services were
conducted by the pastor, Rev. d. A.
Murray, assisted by Rev. F. B. Tucker,
of the Main street Methodist church.
In spite of the intense cold the church
was crowded, as Miss Twedell2 was
very well known and popular in the
East End. The society of the Ladies'
of the Maccabees also attended the
services.
Minnie Twedell had just about COM
pleted her sixteenth year, being born
in Ottumwa in February, 1884. For a
number. of years the family was on u
farm north of Des. Moines, but three
years ago they returned to Ottumwa.
Minnie had just entered the high
school in the class of 1902, when she
was taken down with the sickness from
which she never recovered. For over
ten months she was sick, confined to
her bed great deal of the time and
all patiently, saying ii it was the will
of her father in heaven she was willing
to bear it. She had long been a mem

from life, but when asked il she felt
afraid at the thought of death, she
answered: "Oh, no, it makes me feel

Thursday morning, and she was laid
to rest in the Ottumwa cemetery, the
members of her Sabbath school acting
