DEATH OF Mars. OLA.

Mrs. Susan Ola of this city died
last Sunday evening, at her resi-
dence on Mill street. While'she bad
not been in good health since the
death of her son, Henry Cronk, six
years ago, the deceased was quite
active and able to ride out up to a
week before her death. Death re-
suited from complication Of en-
largement Of the heart with Bright S
disease. The funeral was held from
the house yesterday afternoon at 2
O'Clock, Rev. G.. W. Lutz officiating.
Susan Helen Loomis was born in
Pennsylvania in 1881. In 1856 she be-
came the wife of FL. Cronk, and re-
moved with her husband in 1861 to
Wright county, in this State. Subse-
quently Mr.. Cronk enlisted in the
army, and after the war died in a
soldiers home hospital in Virginia.
Three children were born to them, and
two of these lived to maturity Henry
Cronk, who died on his farm near this
city six years ago, and Mrs. Belle Nc
Ilreavie, wife of Alex. Mcllreayie of
this place After the Indian outbreak
Mrs. Cronk went back to Pennsy lvania,
but subsequently returned to Mime
sofa and settled in Brown county,
where she became the wife of Mr.
Ola. Soon after the building of the
railroad into Redwood Falls, Mrs Ola
came here and had the building erected
near the corner of Mill and Second
streets which was partly burned two
years ago, ruins being removed only
last week. Mrs. Ola conducted mil
linery store for some years, and was a
woman of strong personality and IN
usual capacity for business. For some
years The GAZETTE office occupied
upper rooms in Mrs. Ojia's store build
ing, and the writer then became aware
of the natural kindness of heart of the
deceased, as we'll as Of her capacity fol
business. About eleven years ago Mrs.
Ola became a widow, and since thai
time has not been actively engaged in
business. .

A pARL OIL MEETING.

It was a happy company, ladies'
and gentlemen Of the w. G. T. q.
and their friends, that gathered at
the pleasant home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Houghmaster, on Saturday ev-
ening, Feb. I'd. Mrs. a. e. King,
Supt. Of parlor meetings Tor the or
ganization, presided in her own
happy and pleasing manner. After
singing together I'VE All Belong. "
Mrs. H. D. Brooke led in few
brief words Of prayer. A solo was
then sung by Miss Ethel King,
Where is my Father Tonight, 6
after which the president introduced
Mrs. Fuller, who gave US a few
snap shots from the National con-
vention held in Washington: D. g.,
in December. Over 500 delegates
were reported TO be in attendance,
and a report of $4,000 gained in
membership during the past year.
Truly the W. G. e. Us are rallying
their forces. From all directions
east, west. north and south, our
numbers are being reinforced, and
God is marching on. She reported

study. The friends Of temperance
had best look we'll to their laurels,
else within the next quarter OF a
century there will be greater stir
among the groggerles than that of
which Mrs. Nation is causing today.
At the close Of Mrs. Fuller's re-
port, Mrs. Sutton was led to the
piano and, to the delight of all pres
ent, rendered very beautifully The
Storm at Sea. In the absence OF
Mrs. Lutz, who was not able to be.
present on account Of illness, and
was to have spoken. on the theme
of suffrage, Mrs. Goodacre kindly
substituted. Time forbids even a
synopsis OF the good things she
said, (for the ladies, Of course.) At,
the conclusion of her remarks, Mrs
Sutton again took her place at the
piano and favored us with another
selection. Being heartily encored,
she again responded by playing the
Ripping Spring.
The president ther remarked the
meeting was open for short dis
cussion on Woman S Suffrage. This
created not little amusement and
a pleasant spirited discussion fol-
lowed. This closed very pleasant
evenings entertainment, and we
babe good night to host and hostess
fully determined to stand tirmer i
possible by the principles OF our
beloved organization.

UThe American people are not SO partic-
ular whether this or that particular bill is
passed to build up American shipping, as
they are that some effective measure be
put upon our statutes, at once, that will ac-
complish this very desirable result The
people feel that it is the duty of con-
gress to enact such measure without fur
Their delay.
U'Undoubtedly there is majority of
the senate in favor Of the bill, says the New

cratic senators to resort to every possible
device to prevent vote being taken on

thwart the majority will, they are subvert-

be expected to know whether the details
Of this or that bill are best adapted to put
American ships upon the seas in sufficient
number to do American carrying. They
leave that for congress to determine. But

In interviewing the exclusive Lord Wild minister. In an indefinite way he made up his mind to do it, or at least to attempt It, should the opportunity ever come his way.
 Little did he suspect how near the oppor- tunity was to him. He was one day walking toward the Serpentine, favorite resort of his in Hyde Park, when he saw the great man come along and seat himself on chair Immediately Jlmsey's mind was made up. He went and sat down upon the park chair next to Lord Wildminister, and when, pres ently the uniformed attendant came along Jlmsey cheerfuly paid his two cents for the privilege.
 The lord looked curiously at Jimsey out of the corner of his eye, but appeared to take no further notice. Jimsey gazed ab- stractedly at the sky and debated with him self as to whether or not 1t would be well to let it appear that he knew who his neighbor was. After pause he observed half to him self:

 where I lived with my numerous brother
 and sisters. One morning number of men
 brought huge machine to the mine anu fastened it so well that our home was blowh

The next thing that remember was when I was put into smelting ovens from which l emerged little piece or un- shaped metal. l was then sent to pih factory, where I was put into form' ahu came out of the form small piece or wirs which was shaped into pin felt very proud, indeed, when my brothers and my, self were placed in papers, just like rows os orderly soldiers. We were then packed In a box and shipped to notion store, where we were unpacked and placed in glass case. We felt very proud indeed, when we first ar rived, but when we saw the gigantic, stately hat pins and beautiful, proud glass s-headed pins and the herculean safety pins all gaz ing at us with scornful contempt, we felt very humble, indeed, and though we tried to assuage the anger of these royal classes Of pins, they never would condescend to answef our vain apologies. 1 was at length taken ont of this embarrassing position by the careless hand of the clerk, who handed me to lady who had bought me She took me to her home, and stuck my brothers and myself in pin cushion.

SLIP SLAP.
A Recess Game for Little Girls.

There are not many games that are short enough to be played during recess, and most of those that are are very old. Here Is game that is great fun and is just the right length to come to close little be- fore the bell rings which summons you all back to your seats.
 This game is called Slip Slap" and re- quires long, thin piece of twine and an ordinary sized spool. Run the cord through the spool and then tie the ends of the cord together, making circle, which should be large enough to hold four little girls. Two girls are selected to choose up sides," each one choosing three to play with her, making four on each side.
 The girls who choose are the captains of their side, and the side which has Hast choose" stands in ring holding the cord in their hands. The captain has the spool under one of her hands holding the cord. The other side must stand' close together inside the ring made hy the cord, and facing the others. Then the captain of the side inside the ring cries slip and the other side dance twice around them, slipping the spool to one another along the rope as they go and doing their best to keep the other side from seeing who has 1t. When they have been completely around the others twice the captain of the side in the center cries "slap," and the others instantly stand still, and the one who has the spool holds her hand over it, hiding 1t completely.
