religious life, her love for the Christ
who gave himself for her.
For eight years 1t was my privi-
lege to be her pastor, friend and coun-
selor. Let me speak of her religious
life as l knew 1t.
Her sorrow for sin was deep and
the knowledge that she had said or
done aught that was contrary to the
word of God, not in harmony with
the spirit, of Christ whom she served,
caused her sorrow of heart.
"She was very sympathetic and will
ingly gave of herself and her means to
help those who were in need. 1t was
this element of her nature, this trait
of character that led her into the ser.
vice that was SO dear to her heart.
"Her surrender was complete. She
gave herself all to Christ. The time
came for her to settle the question of
her call to distinctive mission work;
to leave the home field and to go to
and it was of that surrender that
wish to more fully speak.
II we'll remember when that call
came, clear and unmistakable. 1t was
some little time aftera meeting at our
church WHEN LII. "A. ". fleCCueT anu
DR.. e. e. Witter and others were pres
ent at a missionary conference. At
that time it was the earnest prayer
that If it was Gods will, that some
one of our number might be called
to foreign missions. The outgrowth
of that meeting was the formation of
a missionary class which met weekly
for the study Of the bible and mission
airy literature. For some time before
Alberta spoke to me about it, I felt
convinced that she would offer herself
for the work. I remember when and
how she made known to me that de-
sire and call, fearful lest it was her
own desire and not the call of God.
"She did not have long to wait
Word came from the Rooms that she
had been accepted. A course was
marked out for her to follow. She
took the examination which was ap-
proved and she was notified that in
due time she would be sent abroad.

how glad she was that God had an

Obituary.
Alberta Sumner was born in OF
tumwa January Is, 1866. She united
with the First Baptist church July
16, 1882. Those who knew her best
say that she was a quiet woman with
great depth and breadth of character.
The conviction grew upon her that
she must enter the mission field, and
on July 31,1S96 she left home for that
purpose. In September of the same
year she sailed from Boston and
after pleasant journey landed in Cal
cutta, November IL of the same year.
She was married in Now Gong, Sep
TENDER s. 1898, to Rev. Arthur Parker,
and together they continued the work
in which both had been engaged, I'M

passed away at Debrugarh.

Detective Jim Harrison Looking
Up Dead Train. Robbers Identity.
THINKS He HAD BEEN IN OTTUMWA.
Capt. Gray Says the Bandits Picture
Resembles Man Sent Over the
Road From ottumwa on Burglary
charse-Messenger Gets $1,000.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Jim Harrison, special agent for the
Burlington, was in the city Sunday
looking for traces of former resi-
dence in this city of the bandit who,
with companion, attempted to loot
the express car attached to Bur-
lington train, short distance from
Council Bluffs, but was shot and kill
ed by Express Messenger Charles
Baxter, last week. Mr.. Harrison had
with him a picture of the dead robber
at police headquarters last evening.
The body had been barred to the waist
and photographed and showed eleven
holes in the left breast made by the
buckshot pumped into him by the
messenger. The robber is not bad
looking fellow, appears to be about
IS years of age and has a determined
looking countenance. Capt. Gray,
saw the picture and says that it
looks very much like man sent over
the road few years ago under the
name of Reynolds, on burglary
charge. Captain Gray, however, does
not positively identify the man.
Another theory is that the dead
man is a gambler and had been seen
in Ottumwa's gambling resorts. His
hands show that he was not used to
manual labor and if he followed the
profession of that of a gambler it is
not altogether unlikely that he visit
ed Ottumwa.
Express Messenger Charles Baxter
who killed the unidentified robber,
received $1,000 for protecting the val
uables in his possession in the man
ner in which he did. 1t is said that
the express company has standing
offer of $1,000 for the capture of any
bandit, either dead or alive, who at
tempts to loot the cars of the COM
pany.

Has an Exciting Experience.
From Mondays Daily.
This morning, about daylight, the
team of William Tozier, a resident of
Riverview Addition, took a very ex-
citing run up Main street, which, had
it happened during the busy part Of
the day, would probably have result
ed seriously for some one. Mr.. Tozier
was driving west on Main street, when
his horses suddenly became frightened
at something unknown to the driver:
Mr. Tozier was thrown out of the
wagon, but not seriously hurt At
Vine street the frightened team decided
to take the side walk route, and trav-
eled on the walk from that point to
Young bakery, corner of Jefferson
and Main streets. Here they struck
telephone pole and released themselves
from the wagon. They ran from there
across the street, and became tangled
up with another telephone pole at that,
corner. Their harness became caught
on the pole and they stopped. The
horses were not injured altho the
wagon and harness are badly damaged.

Don't Shoot at Quail.

There seems to be quite a general
misunderstanding of the Iowa game
law and it's relation to quail shooting.
The impression has been quite general
that the quail season opened October
/. A state pamphlet on the Iowa
game law reads to that effect, saying
that quail may not be shot from the
first of December till the first of Oc-
tober. Sundays Des Moines
Register, however apologies for hay
ing published it this way from the
state pamphlet and publishes a cor
rected quotation from the law, show
ing that Section 1851 really provides
that mo person shall trap, shoot or
kill any rufflev grouse, pheasant, wild
turkey or quail between the first day
of January and the first day of Nov
emper. So the open season on quail
does not commence till next month.
