OF SISTER GEORGIA HALL DUDLEY.
Whereas, 1t has pleased the
Allwise God to remove from oul
midst Sister Georgia Dudley, be il
Resolved; That we offer to the
bereaved family our deepest sym.
pathy, knowing that our loss is
Heavens gain.
Sister Georgia was born in st.
Charles County in 1873. Moved
to Audrain County when three
years old. United with Baptist
Church at Mt. Zion in 1898 and
lived consistent member until
her death, Sept. II, 1901. She
was also Il charter member of this
society.
Georgia suffered for several
months with patience. Her end
was the blessed peace and assur-
ance of the righteous.
Further be it
Resolved; That copy of these
resolutions be spread on our rec
ord as mark of our esteem, in
memorlum, and copy be sent to
the family.
Georgia, it is hard to part with thee.
knowing 1t IS best but cannot see
Just why our Savior has taken thee home
And left MS lonely here without thee.
DO not weep. dear friends and loved ones,
For your loved one bright and fair;
She is waiting. only waiting,
With the angels over there.
Years may now seem longer, loved ones,
Since this one has passed away.
But remember, oh, remember
You are nearer her each day.
Though il Is only the parting hour
That will chill the warmcSt heart,
Yet kindred, lovers, friends are fatcd

mind,
The one who goes is happier
Than those they leave behind.

IT is refreshing to
Here's To know man, real
Senator man, brave man, u
BiggS. man who can say to
all the offers and en-.
Elements of old satan, wet thee
behind me-" We think this char
acter is found in Senator Biggs,
aud the Vandalia Leader says
nothing amiss in the following:
No one has ever served the
State Senate with less ostcntation
and more credit than NJ. X. X.
Biggs, of Audrain. 1t may be of
interest to his constituents to know
that he not only always voted
right on all measures, but he was
the active foe of all shady legisla-
ton. So bitterly did he fight the
lobby and those who accepted
brides from that source that he
was several times threatened with
personal violence. But little
thing like that never deferred him
from serving the people with cour-
age and distinction. Senator
Biggs did not stop to consider
whether or not his course was pop
ular. Voting for measure he.
cause of its popularity is out of
the question with him. He was Il
champion of the interests of the
common people. Senator Biggs
is n close observer and keeps well
informed in all legislation, good
aud bad. There was never n time
that Senator Biggs was hampercd
by solicitations of friends" to
support measures that were not,
in his judgment, proper. The
highest compliment tnal COulu De
paid to him was that he was never
approached by lobbyist, or one
of his licutenants who are some
times so numerous at the state
capital that one thinks that all the
dishonest men are not in the peni-
Tertiary. All of Senator Biggs
life has been spent on farm. He
is n high minded Christian gentle
man, and has always taken an
active interest in the welfare of his
party. The democracy of this
district sent him to the State Sen
ate as Il representative man and
they made no mistake.

A LINEN FACTORY.
Northern Town VIII Have a Flax MIL

Northern Town VIII Have Flax MIL
Owned by Woman.
The people of the town of Albert
Lea, Mimi, are congratulating them
selves upon the prospective establish
ment there Of flax fiber mill, to be
started by Mrs. Oscar N. Olberg. Mrs.
Olberg has engaged the services OF an
expert from Belgium, and 1t is ex-
pected that the fax which Is raised by
the Minnesota farmers will soon be OF
more use than simply to furnish seed
for the linseed oil makers. The straw
or fiber is now wasted. Several years
ago after samples of Minnesota fax
had been sent to the linen mills of Ire
land and Brussels and had been pro-
nounced first class there was consider
able activity toward the establishment
OF linen factories in the northwest.
Plants were put in operation in Min
neapolis. Eau Claire and Appleton. Ex-
pensive machinery was bought abroad
and the home made product Of these
mills was unsurpassed by the goods
from Belfast. But there was a dearth
OF raw material. The farmers would
not or could not get the fax fiber into
condition for the looms. Within two
years after the linen mills mentioned
had started every one of them had
ceased operations. For they found that
In order to keep the spindles moving
they would be compelled to import ret
ted flax fiber, while our own fax straw
was either going to waste or being
burned up. The western linen mills,
therefore, we're compelled to suspend
operations, while those of the older
cities In the east only maintained
themselves by buying a portion OF their
raw material from across the sea. Mrs
Olberg has taken precautions against
failure by contracting with extensive
FAX farmers for an adequate supply of
the fiber for several years to come.

WALKING IN SLEEP.
How the Phenomena Are Explained on
Scientific Basis.

Scientific Basis.
The feat OF the young Illinois student
who walked twenty miles while asleep
Is certainly a remarkable one OF us
kind. Usually somnambulists make
short trips and, unlike the subject in
question awake to find themselves In
curious and Outlines alarming posi-
lions. The weirdness OF the exploit
and the unnaturalness OF its accom-
plishment give that becoming air OF
mystery which naturally appeals to
the ignorant and the superstitious. In
reality, however. the phenomena are
very satisfactorily explained on the as
sumption that certain areas OF the
brain are for the time being awake,
while the other portions are asleep.
Thus. the speaking center may be ac-
tive and the dreamer may carry on a
connected conversation with a listener
and be perfectly oblivious to any other
Impressions. Very often under such
circumstances a secret most carefully
guarded during waking hours may De

the respective cerebral lobes involved
are on extra sentinel duty. The same
can be said for somnambulism In
many of it's forms, the muscular sense
pertaining to walking being in curl
Gus condition of exalted activity
Strange to say, the victims Of this dis
tressing malady have no recollection
Of their adventures although 1t Is
maintained that they appear to see OBJ
stacles and avoid them and their vari-
GUS movements indicate intelligence
and reason. In many respects the
conditions represent some Of the varie-
ties Of hypnotism, differing from them
only in the matter of absolute auto
suggestion, as against the domination
OF an outside party. The causes Of the
trouble are quite obscure-at least no
definite ones are given by medical au-
thorities. 1t is reasonable to infer,
however, that in the aggravated cases
the disorder has cerebral origin akin
to some of the varieties of epilepsy and
requires the usual treatment applied
to the latter affection.-New York

FILIPINO HOSPITALITY,
1t Is Considered Ono of Their Greatest
National Virtues

National Virtues
In summing up the good and bad
qualities of the Filipinos, too much
says the New York Tribune. 1t may be
called their great national virtue. The
inspiration Of this trait may have
come from the Spanish, but 1t fell on
fruitful soil, for while the Spanish
resident Of the Philippines, as else
where, measures out his hospitality in
fine phrases only the Filipinos say as
much and mean it. This trait is not
confined to the upper classes, or those
who can afford to make some display
in their homes and some effort at en-
tertainment. 1t is found among the
lowest and poorest as well. These peo-
pie will share with the stranger who
nipa their last bowl OF rice and their
last little fish, and will make room for
him overnight on the floor Of their
house, where all the family sleep side
by side. The family may be "insur-
rectos" and the visitor may be an
American, but he is not likely to meet
with any harm while under their roof,
though a member Of the same family
might gladly stick bolo into him az
terward. When travelling Is safe In the
Philippines, one is therefore always
sure that he can find shelter for the
night and share of the best that a
community affords. In the houses Of
those who are well to do, the best
room will be placed at the disposal of
the unexpected and unknown guest,
and he will be entertained by the va
rious members of the family to the
best of their ability. II the daughters
have been to one OF the convent
schools and have learned to play upon
the piano, they will play their most
difficult pieces, and sometimes the
playing Is really fine, for the Fill
pinos are among the most natural mu-
steal peoples in the world, and often
perform we'll, in spite Of mediocre In
struction. A piano is one Of the first
things that a well-to-do native family
buys. The singing is not likely to be as
pleasant as the playing on the piano.
for the natives have good voices.

1t might work well in this section.
1t is described thus; A heavy
roller is all a farmer needs and
nature will do the rest. He rolls
the field after the wheat is sown
and then he rolls it again and

he turns in the cattle until winter
sets in, and in the spring he gets

YIELD OF ORANGES,
This Years Crop In California Is the
Largest Ever Known.

Ahis srOp IN inc
Largest Ever Known.
CALIFORNIA; orange crop this season
promise to break the best previous
annual record. There will be between
10000 and 81 900 car loads for eastern
shipment. The great bulk of the prod
uct is credited to the southern citrus
belt. which has Los Angeles as its
shipping center. The southern coun-
ties will probably yield n total of be-
tween 10000 and 10000 car loads. The
northern citrus belt. OF which Oroyille
is the shipping center, will produce
between 900 and 1000 car loads Of
oranges. These are the latest esti-
mates made by the Southern Pacific
company. They are based largely upon
shipments so far made this season and
upon the condition of the trees in the
producing groves. The California
orange season begins on Nov. / and
lasts practically twelve months, though
the full bearing period is supposed to
be about ten months. The difference
In the ripening time between the
northern and the southern citrus belts
results in a continuous production OF
marketable oranges throughout the
year. From Nov. l up to jan 10 the
Southern Pacific has shipped eastward
from southern California 400 car
loads of oranges, and the same coun-
try has shipped out of northern Cali
fornia $50 car loads of oranges and
lemons. These shipments for the early
part Of the season greatly exceed the
output of any previous year. The
freight department officials who have
been studying the subject declare that
unless some unforeseen thing occurs
to injure the crop southern California
will have sent 10000 car loads Of
oranges to the east as the first years
