Passed Away.

Yesterday morning the city was
startled by the announcement of the
death of H. Halverson. For several
days he had been feeling poorly, but
nothing serious was feared as he had
often felt worse; and in the morning
he was able to SIT up and attend to
matters of business pertaining to his
marble shop. But with the sudden
ness which sometimes ushers people to
their eternal home he was called away.
Deceased was upwards of 60 years OF
age, and had been resident of this city
for many years. He was hardwork-
ing, honest man and will be missed
from our community.
The cause of his death was heart
failure. Mr.. Holverson enjoyed large
acquaintance in this county, gained by
his long life and business career spent
here. A large number join us in ex-
tending sympathy to the bereaved
ones.

REIMBURSEMENT of Toll Rates.

WAUKoN, Iowa, SEPT. II, 1901
The Standard Telephone Company

amount in improving thir commercial

necessary to make the following
changes.
Within the County and adjoining
counties, except La Crosseand Dubuque
Exchanges, l5c; Clayton County sta
tions to Dubuque, zoe; all other stations

"a fact. When the wife is sick the whole

HELPLESS HUSBANDS
HOW HELPLESS HUSBANDS
HAVE BECOME HELPFUL

Never does a man feel so helpless as
when he looks upon the suffering of the
wife he loves and knows that he is
powerless to prevent it. And when, as
is often the case, he has exhausted every
means at his disposal in the vain effort
to restore his wife to health, his despair
almost equals her suffering. There are
husbands who have passed through this
experience and have found way to be
helpful to their wives when physicians
bad absolutely failed to cure, and been
