PIPE PRICES ADVANCED.

All Lines OF Tubing Pushed Up From
Four to Eight Per cent, Except
Galvanized.
PITTSBURG, Pa, February 81
Prices of all classes of pipe and tubing
have advanced, to take effect March
1st. The general percentage of the
advance ranges from four to eight
per cent and covers the entire line,
with the exception of galvanized pipe,
which is slightly lowered. The rise
in price is stimulating buying, as the
National Tube Company closed a con-
tract last week for 40 miles of pipe, to
be shipped to the Guadalazara water
works company, Guadalazara, Mexico.
The contract will require nearly three
months to fill and work on the order
will be commenced at once.

DEATHS SUDDEN SUMMONS.
DR.. ID. Nehls Found Dead i'm His Bed
Wednesday Afternoon.

On Wednesday afternoon friends
calling at the home of DR.. Daniel Nehls
and meeting no response entered the
house and found him sitting on his bed
cold In death. He was dressed and
seemed on the point of arising when
the sudden summons came which end
ed his life work. Mr.. Nehls was an
elderly man and was quiet and unob-
trusive and good citizen, doing much
within his sphere to be helpful to 9TH
ers. Owing to the sudden nature of
his death coroner's jury was called,
but nothing was found which indicated
anything more than that death had oc-
CURED from natural causes. It seems
1t was a custom among number of
Mr.. Nehls' friends to spend social af-
ternoon with him each Wednesday,
According to this custom they gather
ed as usual and their grief and surprise
was great to find that their friend had
answered the summons that comes
some time to all. DR.. Nehls was man
of considerable property, he was for
years practicing physician, but later
he practiced only in q limited way
among relatives and friends. He leaves
wife and three sons living in the coun-
ty to mourn his sudden death. The
funeral services were held this after
| noon, Rev. F. Lothringer officiating
and the services were attended by q
large number of friends and relatives.

OBITUARY.

The funeral of Mrs. .Candace Eaton
Miller took place in this city of We'd
nesday afternoon from the Baptist
church. The services were attended
by a large number of old friends and
neighbors and especially by the ladies
ofthe Woman's Relief Corps and the
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic. Mrs. Miller was the daugh-
ter of a soldier and the wife of q soldier
and always took great interest in the
work of these allied patriotic orders.
Mrs. Miller was born in Mt. Sterling,
Ind, April 2s, 1886. She came to Iowa
in 1855 with her parents, DR.. and Mrs
$. Il. Eaton, whose remains lie in the
Denison cemetery. On November "A,
1864, she was married to Mr.. A. HI.
Miller in Leo. Fayette county, Iowa.
In 1896 she, with her husband moved
to Denison and they have resided here
continuously until less than four years
ago when they removed to Ida Grove.
Mrs. Miller was an earnest Christian
from childhood, for forty years she
has been member of the First Baptist
church of Denison and she was always
active and helpful in church work.
Her death was caused by paralysis and
occurred on Sunday evening, Oct. l..
Her death was almost painless and she
passed peacefully away from the scene
of her life's labors to the enjoyment of
that reward which her lifetime of good
deeds and Christian devotion had GER
tainly merited. She leaves husband.
two daughters, a son, two sisters, two
brothers and a large circle of friends
and acquaintance to mourn her loss.
On Sunday morning before her death
though in feeble health, she went to
the Baptist church in Ida Grove tc
hear the new pastor, Rev.. F. Bryant
1t was fitting close to her many years
of Christian endeavor. We extend oul
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaveG
ones who are thus deprived of her ten
der affection and care. Her husband
Mr.. A H. Miller, and her daughter
Grace, will remain in Denison for some
time, while her son, Mr.. F. E. Miller
will return to his duties in Ida Grove
Col. A. Abernethy of Usage and his
wife, who was sister of Mrs. Miller
we're present at the funeral, returning
to their home yesterday morning.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

One of the pleasant social events of
this eminently social week was the
SURPRISE party given to Hon. Carl f.
Kuehnls on Wednesday evening. This
was the occasion of Mr.. and Mrs.
Kuehnles wedding anniversary and
MIR. Kuehnle's friends thought it an
opportune time to show their appreeia
tion of their friend and neighbour. Mr..
Kuehle was busy up town attending to
some business and when he came home
shortly after nine O'Clock he was
greatly surprised to find his house
filled with merry makers busily engag
ed in social games of whist. The eve
ming passed most enjoyably. elegant
refreshments were served and at the
conclusion of this function Judge
Elwood presented Mr. Kuehnle with a
beautiful rocker as a token of the
esteem in which he is held by his
many Denison friends. Mr.. Kuehnle
responded in a happy little speech in
which he spoke of the pleasure of being
taken from the cares of business to find
oneself surrounded by loving, kindly
friends. No one has done more to
make happy the lives of other people
by such little acts of kindness and it
was a genuine pleasure to be able to
turn the tables for once and to wish
Mr.. and Mrs. Kuehnle long life and
many happy returns of the day.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY.
Problem Solved at the Methodist Social
Tuesday Evening.

An advertising social was the novel
production of Mrs. r. A. Romans fer
tile brain on Tuesday evening and it
proved as we had prophesiad, one of
the most enjoyable socials Denison has
ever known. Nearly two hundred
people enjoyed the hospitality of the
evening and the spacious parlors were
thronged with merry makers. Jack-o-
lanterns guarded the entrance and the
rooms beautifully decorated with
autumn leaves suggested the idea of
the harvest home. A short musical
program was given and was much
enjoyed, one of the special features be-
ing an original song written by Mrs.
Romans, extolling with the utmost
modesty the exceeding virtues of the
third division of the Missionary society
under whose auspices the social was
given. The game of the evening con-
sisted of guessing the firms represent
ed by portions Of advertisements
clipped from the local papers, The
man who does not believe in advertis-
ing looked on enviously while the
guests quickly picked out the firms
advertised. That people read the adj
vertisements in the local press is
proven by the fact that very many OF
those present we're able to tell from
memory twenty out of the twenty-five
firms represented. Some advertise.
ments which had appeared but once in
the Deuison papers were quickly
located.
1t was good lesson to Denison bust
ness men that their advertisements are
read and remembered. Mrs Romans
very neatly announced that the prizes
could be found in the bargains offered
by the various stores represented
The refreshments served so far sur
passed the price that it is still won
der where the ladies made any money
out bf it. Even Manila editor would
have been satisfied with the repas
without second order. We sincerel,
congratulate the ladies over the sue
cessful manner in which their cleverl,
planned social was carried out ant
feel that it is forerunner of man,
enjoyable events this winter.

Hon. j. P. Conner and f. w. Meyers
spoke last evening at Kiron before a
good sized audience. Judge Conner
was received with great enthusiasm by
his admiring friends and according to
ali reports Kiron will be more strongly
republican than ever at the coming
election. A number of those who have
been voting the populist ticket have
become convinced that free silver is
wrong and will vote with the party OF
sound money this fall. Judge Conner
makes a strong and forceful speech
and we firmly believe that the repub-
licans of the district will soon learn to
be as proud of him as are the people OF
Crawford.

County Treasurer Kuhl wishes us to
remind our readers that taxes are now
delinquent and that unless paid prior
to November first, they will be adver-
tised and sold according to law. There
is no good reason why people should
incur the expense and publicity of hav-
ing their property advertised for sale
for taxes. 1t not only looks bad for
our county but for the individual, and
is a wholly unnecessary expense in the
generality of cases. Be warned and
see to it that your taxes are paid.
