the reputation Of playing some of the
best amateur ball In southern Iowa.
The Ottumwa boys returned home

the Mystic team is composed of a set
of gentlemen. They say the Mystic

for the comfort and entertainment Of

across the diamond at times, making

OBITUARY.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


Mrs. Sarah A. Briggs was born in
Palestine, Ohio, January II, 1897, and
died at her residence, $50 North Green
street, Ottumwa, May %, 1901.
In her early life she lived at Jeffer.
sonville, Indiana, and later moved to
st. Louis, Mo-, where she was married
to Alfred Briggs in 1858. To this
union were born six children, two girls
and four boys, three of whom, togeth-
er with the father, survive her. These
three children are Mrs Martha S. Nay,
lor, of Chicago; Alfred B. Briggs and
1868 the family removed to Iowa, and
located at Bloomfield, coming later to
Ottumwa
school girl and Joined the Methodist
Episcopal church, of which she was a
member until her death. She was an
active member of the pioneer Metho.
dist Episcopal church of St. Louis, call.
ed the Ebenezer Chapel, and later she
united with the Trinity church in the
same city.
For twenty-five years before her
death Mrs. Briggs was an invalid, and
much of that time she was shut In
from the outside world, but, although
she suffered intensely she was always
faithful to her loved ones and longed
to live that she might care for her
family, especially two little grand.
daughters whose mother had died, and
who had been committed to Mrs.
Briggs care.
When informed that she could not
live, she acquiesced in the Divine de.
cree. and rejoiced In the thought that
she was going to land where she will
experience no more sorrow or pain.
The conditions of the separation were
to her the conditions of promotion.
The end came without q struggle, and
she died in peace. She conversed
with her friends about the future gave
instructions as to conducting her fli-
neral, only few hours before her
death, and babe the members Of her
family good bye, saying, Good night,
we shall meet in the morning"
The funeral services were conducted
at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, by
DR.. A. E. Craig, the pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal church, and the
remains were laid to rest in the family
lot in the Ottumwa cemetery.

by the delegates and visitors during
the afternoon session for the suffrage
work next year. Another important
action was that relating to the regula-
ton of social vice. The action of the
physicians and surgeons at their con-
vention in st. Paul last week stirred
up the delegates in righteous indigna-
ton, and strong speech was made
by Rev. Anna SHAW, of Philadelphia,
as to the attitude in which the con.
vention stands towards passing of
laws for the segregation of vice in the
cities Of the United States.

After Delinquents.

A resolution was passed by the milk
men at last evenings meeting, which
provides that if customer is buying
milk of one milkman and stops trad
ing with him when owing a bill for
milk, no other milkman will be al
lowed to sell milk to the customer I'M
til the first bill is paid. If the second
milkman persists in selling to the GUS
toner he must first pay the old bill
himself.

The Sometimes Customer.

Another resolution was passed af-
fecting the customer who buys milk of
the milkman until some neighbours
COW becomes fresh, when he stops and
buys milk of the neighbor. After a
time, however, the neighbours supply
of milk runs low and the customer
again returns to the milkman. The
milk merchants do not like this, and
the resolution they passed last even
ing demonstrates this fact. 1t pro.
vides that when the customer first
stops taking milk, which is generally
in the early summer, the milkman
shall notify him that when he wants
to buy of him (the milkman) in the
winter, he cannot do SO. The milk.
men say that this is common prac-
tice, among the average customers and
that it is the hardest of work to get
milk in the winter for the regular Gus
toners, so they passed this resolution
for that reason.
