Died.

1Ae Alo noLue AZ Logan, Iowa, on
Monday morning, April Goth, 1901,
Hon. Lemuel R. Bolter, age G7
years.
The deceased was born in Rich
land county, Ohio, July 9th, 1884,
came to Harrison county, Iowa,
in 1868, settling on farm near
Jedo: and soon began to take an
active part in the great events
then stirring the country; being a
democrat, his pre- eminent ability
soon attracted public attention,
and his services were called for to
represent Harrison county in the
state Legislature, and in the SEES
sion of 1865 he took his seat in
that body, serving during the lltb,
18th, 10th, 10Th and Goth General
Assemblies. In this body he soon
became the acknowledged leader
OF his party. In 1876 he was the
Democratic candidate for congress
in the Eighth Congressional Dis
trict, against Col. w. r. Sapp, of
Council Bluffs. Running ahead
of his party ticket, but being de-
feated as the district was nomin-
ally about 5000 Republican. He
was elected to the State Senate
and served in that capacity during
the 2lst, 22nd, 23d aud Oath Ses-
sions, being at the time of his
death Senator from this Senatorial
District.
He leaves two sons, Charles r.
and Carroll A. and one daughter,
Florence NJ, wife of DR.. j. G..
Wood, of Logan. He was mem
Der of the law firm of l.. B. Bolter
e. Sons, one OF the strongest law
firms ia the west.
The deceased has been a busy
man all his life, always in the
front ranks OF every party or bust
ness in which he engaged, loved
by his party, respected by his
neighbors. and distinguished citi-
zen. AS politician he was bold,
aggressive and eloquent, honest
in his convictions, faultless in de-
fense and persevering in his argu-
ments, and his deaSh leaves va
cancy in the community that will
be hard to fill. His keen fore
sight in matters before him, with
an iron constitution and indoml-
table will, he stood giant in in
tellect before his country, and
leaves a name that will fill q
bright page in his country's his
tory.
He had been in rather deli
cate health for some time, in fact
ever since the death of his wife,
to whom he WAS devotedly attach
ed, but his death was surprise
as he was on the streets of Logan
until Saturday evening last, but
at S:45 last evening the dread
messenger called and great
statesman, profund lawyer, a loyal
friend and honored citizen went
forth to that celestial land from
which no traveller returns, and the
people of Harrison county are in
sorrow.
This death only brings to our
mind the solemn fact that all, both
great and small, must at last bow
to the inevitable and lay down the
work of life to appear before the
Great Judge, who does all things
we'll.
The funeral will be conducted
from his late home Wednesday at
p p. m. It is expected that SEN
ator Healy,of Fort Dodge,a strong
personal friend, will deliver the
funeral address, and then Senator
Lemuel r. Bolter will be laid to
rest.

Silas A Keller has been appointed
agent and attorney for the sale of the
lake beds of Wright county at a-com-
mission of ten per cent. That seems
like a pretty liberal fee, but if, as we
understand, he has to give a title from
the county to the purchaser, he will, in
all probability, earn his money, if, in
deed there is any commission to come
out of it, II would be hard to con
caive of a worse muddle than the
question If title to- those same lands.
E'"sa are lie srly 1000 acres of such
i, Wright county, but whether the
'wner is the state, under its right of
eminent domain, the county under
che swamp land act or the adjacent
land holders who are occupying it un-
der their riparian rights, no lawyer is
wise enough to say. Clarion Demo-

Saturday afternoon, Earnest
Hauff, a nephew of Fred Hauff,
Dr., and brother of Mrs Toene-
meyer of this city, working as a
farm hand for Chas. Michael near
Magnolia, drove his team to the
field after dinner as usual. Not
returning ns early as usual in the
evening, search was made for him
and he was found dead in the
field. He had hitched his team to
a bunch of Willows, and deliber-
ately shot himself three distinct
times in the head and face with a
revolver before death resulted
from the wounds. He was aged
about 90 years, single and young
man of exemplary habits. The
funeral was held from the farm
home of Mr.. Michaels, Sunday,
and interment in Magnolia. The
only cause known for his rash act
was worry over the supposed loss
OF few hundred dollars he has
laid away for future investment.

good business judgment and careful ad'

Oh, mothers in homes that are happy,
Where Christmas comes laden with cheer
Where the children are dreaming already

And tell them the ''story of DID,"
Remember the homes that are dreary,
Remember the hearts that are cold.
And thanking the love that has lowered
you
With all that is dearest and best,
Give freely that from your abundance
some bare little life may be blest.

Where Christmas is naught but a name,
And give-fOr the love of the Christ-child!

The Comedy Success of the Goth Cen
fury.

In "Are You a Mason?" Messrs. Rich
and Harris have demonstrated that
there is something new under the sun,
a virgin field to the stage, the Masonic
World. This clever adaptation from
the German of Laufs and Kratz, is
really distinct departure from the
average so-called farce comedy. Its
humor is the genuine kind, easy, free,
nothing stained. At Powers Theatre,
Chicago, "Are You Mason?' played
to an audience that taxed the capacity
of the theatre all summer. The many
odd and mirth provoking situations
provided in the play, arise primarily OF
wife's almost life time belief that her
husband is genuine bonafide Mason.
