shot nv Compan,on.

cunning for ducks near delaware City,
Tuesday, was accidentally shot by his
companion, Frederick Lewis. The
wounds are slight, about 10 grains of
shot entering the skin near the right

1t was fortunate for Beokler that his
companion was some distance away or
the wounds would have been serious.

went into the hole his finger caught
the trigger and caused the hammer to
fall upon the cartridge, exploding the
charge.

An Obituary.

Eliza Tatman, daughter of Joseph
and Indiana Tatman, was born in
Fairfield, Green county, Ohio, on
February 2, 1920. Both of her par.
ents died very early in her life, she
being but six years of age at the
time of her fathers death and thir-
teen when her mother passed away.
So intent was the widowed mother
upon the religious education of the
child that Eliza was presented and
received christian baptism at the
hands of Rev. L. c. Raper, a Presid-
ing Elder in the NJ. E. church, in
Cincinnati Conference, when she
was seven years old, and at the age
of fifteen she came into full fellow
ship in the church.
In 1889 she accompanied some of
her relations to South Bend, Indi-
ana, and about two years later, on
June %, 1871, she was united in mar
rage to Rev. Richard c. Meek, of
Niles, Michigan, and with him spent
about nine years in various charges
| in the Michigan Conference. In 1850
she and her husband removed to
northwestern Missouri where they
remained a short time. TWAS then
that they first came to this place
| where they lived for brief time,
| when in 1853 their labors were begun
| in the Shawnee Indian Normal
Labor School, and there continued
tor four years. Subsequently,, tor
many years, their work was1n south.
western Missouri and Kansas, she
sharing in all the vicissitudes of a
Methodist minister in home and
church life.
In 1871 they returned to Extra
Iowa. Two years later her compan.
ion in all of lifes labors, ioys and
sorrows passed away. But here she
has ever since continued to live and
participate in all such religious,
benevolent and refornatory work
as her recognized ability so we'll
fitted her for. The people of this
community, who have lived here
long, can not failed to note the devo.
ton and earnestness of character
that have marked Auntie Meek as a
servant of God. She loved the
church of God and coveted it's pros.
perity. She was delighted whenev
err there was indications of its ad.
vancement and growth. And this
interest of hers in personal purity
and lively concern in all matters
| pertaining TO ner Masters Kingdom
suffered no abatement to the very
last. She was an untiring worker
in the temperance cause, for she rec
ognized the worth of sobriety in
every nature and the inherent vice
of intemperance with the havoc il
brings to the dearest interests OF
life.
Having suffered two strokes OF
paralysis she has for the last six or
seven years belonged to the shut-in
class. About one year ago it was
thought that her course was run;
but she rallied. However, about a
week ago, very marked indications
of final breaking-down appeared
and she very quietly passed away
on Monday morning, at four o'clock
on April 7, 1902. Her funeral ser.
vices were held at the M. E. church
on Tuesday afternoon, conducted
by her pastor, ]. E. Nichol, in which
also Rev. w. W. Hartsough, of the
Congregational church, participa
! ted. She way laid to rest in the
Extra Cemetery beside her husband
who went before her, nearly thirty
years ago. All may say: "Servan,
of God, we'll done"

Here's another puzzle problem
that is going the rounds: A poor
wanted to make dollar purchase.
Ee studied long and earnestly over
his financial woes and finally solved
the difficulty this way: He took the
seventy-five cents to a pawn shop
and pawned it for fifty cents. Then
going out upon the streets he told a
friend what he had done and offered
him the pawn ticket for fifty cents.
The man bought it and the poor
man went on his way rejoicing.
Who lost the twenty-five cents?

The people who have control of
New York City have heard of the
Sunday reform movement in Extra
and being DESTROYS of promoting
the general welfare of the great
metropolis decided to see how the
western idea would be in it's practi-
cal workings, so last Sunday they
shut up the entire town and no one
could gain admission to any place
of business whatever. Men who had
long frequented the Sunday resorts
where they could quench their fiery
thirst, tried in vain to "Wet their
whistles" The men who wanted
good Havana, some "Old Style"
Long Green" or Piperheldsik J"
so they could inhale the delicious
draughts of smoke by exhaling it
through their nose or by chewing it
be able to extract enough of the
amber fluid to prevent sudden and
temporary drouth. Men who had
forgotten to obtain their laundry
were not permitted to obtain it, nor
to replenish their needs by patron
izing the usual gents furnishing
house. The man who wanted to
purchase a new spring hat of the
latest style, four-in- hand or a pair
of kid gloves could not do so.
The boys and girls could not pat1o-
nlze the soda fountain, nor the con-
cert garden so were compelled to go
to the town pump. Oh, we'll, when
they get accustomed to the new con-
dition of affe irs all will be as we'll
satisfied as the people in Extra.
We do not care any more even if
we can't buy bun or lemon pie,
get clean collar, drink of orange
cider or get our Oil jug filled, no,
we lind it best anyhow to get our
beef roast Saturday night so as to
have time to cook it.
The people of New York City
ought to follow in our steps then
they can understand the advance
ment we are working.
