Obituary.

Mrs Eva Jane Ramseyer,
daughter of James d and Olive
Tory, was born on Nov 80, lS47,
at Henry, III. She moved with
her parents to Sioux City in the
early sixties, taught school in
Monona county, where her par
ents had preempted q homestead.
In 1866 she was employed by the
Presbyterian Indian Mission on
the Omaha Reservation. 1t was
here she first met her future hus-
band. Mr. w III Ramseyer and
Miss Tory we're married Oct l,
1868. In November the same
year she joined the Presbyterian
Mission church, With her hus-
band she came to Missouri Valley
in Sept, 1869, where the family
have since resided. She leaves
her husband, her daughter, Mrs
Nellie r Scott, one brother in
Minnesota and one in Washing
ton to mourn her irreparable
loss. 1t is the character of this
esteemed woman we wish to EN-
phasize. 1t has been the privilege
of the writer Cor more than thirty
years to almost daily observe her
cheerfulness, to hear her loving
words, to note her exaltation
amidst the excruciating pains oc-
casioned by her malady; even
then, to hear her give directions
for the care and comfort for those
she loved. To her broad chart

and would listen to no evil word
spoken of anyone. No one ever
appealed in vain to her for the
necessities of life. The family

reduced to supply these frequent
acquisitions.

A Serious Runaway.

A runaway which might have re
suited In q fatility, occurred this after
noon on west Erie street. The heavy
farm team of q. Ii Elton took fright
at something about 3o'clock TINS af-
ternoon and broke loose from the
hitching rack at Third street and be
fore they could be stopped we're run.
ming full speed down Erie street. AT
the intersection of Second and Erie
streets the team collided with the rig
in which DR. De Wore was responding
to a sick call. The teams collided
with such force that the Doctors rig
was overturned and the Doctor thrown
out of the buggy. He suffered num-
erous injuries of most painful nature
chief among which was the brulslng of
his left arm, the spraining of his left
ankle and the painful spraining of his
back. The tongue of the farm wagon
was broken AMI the Jagged end pene-
trated the left hip of one of the horses
intiicting deep cash about seven
inches long.

A c ommendable Under
taking.

After calm and peaceful sleep of
about steen years the business men of
Missouri Valley are now awakening
from their spell of morbid drowsiness
and the prospects today are that with
in the next month the citizens of this
CRY who are interested in the future of
Missouri Valley will have organized q
commercial club which will do more
to promote the interests of this city
than any other ten causes combined.
Although the affair was given but
little advertising in advance, the meet
ing held in the council room last night
having for purpose the formulation
of business mems organization which
will look after the welfare of the city,
was attended by representative gath
erlng of business men. ETC.. and when
the meeting was called to order about
8 O'Clock at least thirty tive business
men, property owners. etc, were in at
tendance. Several of the prime movers
in the new enterprise, after the meet
ing had been called to order, made
shorttalks explaining tie causes which
had brought about the calling of the
meeting, the wor! to be accomplished
and the manner OF procedure.
w. j Burke was requested to serve
as secretary of the meeting, while w.
II Fensler was chosen chairman. Aft
er the work of the preliminary organi-
zatlon was completed Mr.. Seeley, OF
the Standard Cattle company, Ames,
Neb., made long and comprehensive
talk concerning the sugar beet and its
future as regards the farmer of this
vicinity. He showed conclusively that
1T would be to the advantage of the
farmer to devote his time to the cul-
ture of the sugar beet rather than the
cere ais, as he can with the proper effort
and attention to his crops, realize more
than double the value of either corn
or wheat crop in the culture of the SUI
gar beat on the same acreage.
At the conclusion of Mr. Seeleys talk
the matter of appointing committees
for the drawing up of the constitution
and by laws of the club was taken up
and the following committee was
elected and empowered to draw up a
set of by laws etc. to be used in the
governing of the new organization,
