OBITUARY.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Mrs. Eliza Butler. wife of Calvin
Butler, died at o'clock Sunday morn
ing, May u, aged 70 years. Mrs. But
ler's maiden name was Eliza Carter.
She was born in Richland county,
Ohio, April II. 1881. In 1887 she NOV
ed with her parents to Illinois. She
was married to Calvin Butler in 1852.
To them were born seven children, six
of whom survive her. OF these four
are sons, Alonzo NJ, Cherokee, Ia;
Geo. W., San Francisco, Cal; Arthur,
Rodney, Ia; Fred, of Highland Cen.
ter, Ia, and two daughters, Anna
Galesburg, Ill, and Mrs. j. w. Elwood
Holstein, la.
Mrs. Butler was a devoted wife and
mother and in her home she will be
missed the most. Her simple Chris
tian faith enabled her to bear with
great patience the inirmities of age
and the suffering of disease. About
two months ago she was attacked by
grip which resulted in complication
which finally caused her death.
Through her long illness she had the
tender care of her husband and chill
dren.
Her children arise up and call her
blessed; her husband also, and he
praiseth her."
The body was sent to Cherokee, a
former home for interment.

BALL NOT A CANDIDATE.
Does Not Want to Be the Democratic
Nominee

Iowa City, May Isl shall not be
candidate for governor before the
democratic state convention said
State Senator G. w. Ball, when his at
tention was called to the mention of
his name in connection with the pos
sible democratic nomination for the
head of the ticket this fall. 81 hold
one Office already, and l think that is
enough for one man. One Office at
time is good plan"
Senator Ball said that he did not
know whom the democratic party
would be likely to nominate this fall.
Cato Sells of Vinton has been men
toned very favorably. but l do not
know whether he would accept the
nomination. Mayor Phillips of OF
tumwa has also been talked of. Judge
Wade of this city was mentioned at
the time of the convention two years
ago, but he would not be likely to be
candidate because he is now Judge
of this district AS things are at pres
ent in Iowa, the democratic party has
no chance of electing its candidate.
We may do so pretty soon, however.
We elected Governor Boies twice and
the republican party is getting rather
split up again. We will be successful
one of these times"

KITCHENER HOPELESS.
Sees no Prospect of subduing Trans.
wall Beers.

Manchester, May 14.-The London
correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian has sent his paper some SEN
sational reports regarding the situa.
ton in South Africa. He says that,
while the government has been sue
cessful in suppressing official informa.
ton, rumors of a most sensational
character are current regarding re-
cent communications between Lord
Kitchener and the government
The correspondent says he learned
that Hoppstadt, in the northern part
of the Orange Free State. near the
Transvaal border, has been in state
of siege for eight months. The siege
of Mafeking in comparison is moth
ing to it.
He also says he is informed that
Lord Kitchener is advising that favor.
able terms be offered to the Beers, be-
lieving that the present tactics of the
Beers make it unlikely that the strug-
gle will terminate in years.

PAckwooD WANTS THE LINE.
Citizens of That Town Call On ottun
wa Merchants,

S'si@S'iS W ittal OWH Sdil vi Ottu'H
wa Merchants.
[From Wednesdays Daily.l
Packwood wants the Milwaukee cut
off which is due to be built between
this city and Davenport, but according
to the present survey that thriving lit
tie town will be missed about two
miles, and the nearest station will be
Pekin, small town in the southwest
corner Of Jefferson county. A COM
mittee called on several Ottumwa bust
ness men yesterday in the interests of
Packwood in the matter and with a
view to getting the merchants to use
their influence in getting the Milwau-
kee to build through Packwood. The
committee was composed of four of
the prominent business men of Pack
wood, as follows: ]. B. Eiker, of the
hardware firm of Eiker & Myers; ON.
bundy, druggist; P. T. Mitchell an ex-
tensive stock raiser. and G. P. Perry,
the editor of the Packwood Review.
Packwood's Claims.
The citizens of Packwood are very
DESTROYS of securing the cutoff, as it
will be of a great deal of benefit to
them. Their little town is one which
10 WHY q" ahS, Will oil eye always
open for it's interests; its business men
are energetic and faithful to their
home town; it is situated in the center
of a fertile region which is well adapt
ed to farming and stock raising, and
the products of both these industries
are hunting an avenue by which to
reach the trade centers.
AT present Packwood is a station on
narrow guage railroad, the Burling-
ton and Northwestern. and the accom-
modations are not what they would be
on standard guage road running as
many trains as the Milwaukee will run
over this new piece of track.
Would Benefit ottumwa.
Ottumwa dealers will be benefited if
the cutoff is secured by Packwood.
Not only would the buying by Pack
wood dealers from the citys wholesale
firms increase, but the direct commun-
ication between this city and Pack
wood would bring great many shop
pers to Ottumwa over the new line
and this would materially help the re,
tail merchants here.
Will Give Money.
Packwood is willing to go as far as
did Washington to secure the new
road According to the Packwood way
of figuring, the proportionate assess
ment for that city, judging from Wash
ington's donation, would be about
$4,000, and the Packwood people are
ready to give that amount, in addition
to depot site and the right of way to
build through the city.
Committee to Muscatine.
Yesterday afternoon a committee
like the one which came here went to
Muscatine to work in the interests of
Packwood. 1t is the intention of the
people of Packwood to do everything
possible for the securing of the rail
road, and if this cannot be done there
will be no lack of interest with which
they can reproach themselves.

HENRY HALBERG's SUCCESS.
Former ottumwa Boy Inventor of
New Arc Light.

Henry Halberg, former Ottumwa
boy who has numerous friends and ac-
quaintances in this city, is making a
notable success as an electrical de-
s1gner, and has recently perfected an
arc light entirely of his own invention.
He was in the city recently and sold
one of the new lights to the Ottumwa
Electric G. Steam Co. 1t now hangs
at the corner of Market and Second
streets, and is pronounced by local
electricians to be an excellent lamp
from every standpoint. Mr.. Halberg
is now on the road selling these
lamps. and is meeting with the sue.
cess he deserves.
He was formerly in the employ Of
the Ottumwa Electric & Steam Co.
and later on he owned supply store
in this city. From here he went to
Chicago, Where he entered the EN-.

When in the act of backing away
from the wharf the boat swung around
and struck the bank heavily with her
stern. A snag imbedded in the bank
tore an enormous hole in her hull
through which the water rushed with
a frightful rapidity, and in three min.
utes the boat sank to the bottom OF
the river. The officers acted with
great GOODNESS and as the boat settled
they helped the startled passengers to

lost her life by remaining to dress.
The body of DR.. Bell has not been
recovered. 1t is supposed he was
drowned in his state room. AS the
steamer careened in settling, the big
cargo, consisting chiefly of sacks OF
corn, shifted, and before the crew and
roustabouts could escape, half OF
them were pinned down, and either
crushed to death or were drowned

HON. DAVID JAY.
Speaks in High Terms of the Courier
as a Medium for Advertising the
Sale of Live Stock and Seed Gate

as Medium for Advertising the
Sale of Live Stock and Seed Oats.
Actual results are what count in adj

get results he might as well throw his
money into the street so far as any
benefit to himself is concerned Hon.
David Jay, the well known stock rails
er and farmer of Polk township, has
been testing the Courier as a means
by which to reach stock dealers and
farmers. The result of his expert
ence is given in the letter that fol-
lows:
Blakesburg, Iowa, May 2, 1901.
Editor Courier, Ottumwa. Iowa:
Dear Sir:-I will send check for
amount due on my account for adver-
tising male Short Horn calves and
seed oats, as per your statement of
May LIST received today.
! am pleased to say that the Court
er is surely a success as an advertis-
ing newspaper. have sold 81 head
of male calves and all of my seed
oats, and now have but three calves
left for sale, and could sell as many
more if had them. | think the mon
ey | paid you for advertising was we'll
spent, as nearly all my customers say
81 saw your ad. in the Courier"
Yours truly. David Jay.
II Mr.. Jay can make money by adj
vertising the sale of live stock and
seed oats in the Courier, others can
do the same thing by using the col.
umns of the Courier to advertise the
sale of the same or similar articles.
Mr.. Jay used both display and the
classified want column advertising
and had highly satisfactory results
from both.
