The Rebekat's Mask h,eetL

Last Saturday night Lillil
Lodge No. 30, Daughters
Rebekah, of this city, bel a Mask
Social, and to say it was grand
and jolly success does not fully
express the suhject--it was rich,
rare and peculiar.
At about s o'clock p. NJ, the
Lodge room doors we're thrown
open to the public, aud soon the
room was comfortably filled, and
then the music in the banquet hall
was the signal for the fun to COM
mence, and masked Indians, Ne
groes, Spaniarde, Americans, and
fair ladies, beautifully gowned,
filed 10, presenting a molly and
unique appearance, filling the hall
with laughter and heart with Joy.
The main hall was we'll filed
with spectators, and while the
maskers enjoyed the dance, others
without masks, spent the time in
games, friendly chat and social
visiting. It was very strange to
note the changed appearance a
mask makes in the masker. and
we may be permitted to remark:
How aggravating look at the face
aud see two bright sparkling eyes
looking at you and yet be unable
to determine to whom they belong
or to hear the tongue say cute or
strange things and not know who
the saucy masker is, but then, if
we could always know who talks
it would rob language Of half
it's interesting clatter.
The meeting was a gran'l .uc-
cess. Geo. W. Burbank tr'ed az
treasurer of the occasion. but We
have not received his report of the
financial success, but from the APP
pearance of cash on the counter
and the number in attendance, we
conclude that it, like all meetings
of the Rebekah's, was both f.
nancial and fun making success.
1t is an acknowledged fact that
when the Rebekah's have NEE
ting, whether banquet, box So
cial, or merely social party, it is
always a success, aud we are lead
to say when we have good time,
"that it was Rebekah of time"
which is only another way to ex-
press the fact that We had a real
pleasant time.

Better Than Pills

The question has been asked, Gin
what way are Chamberlains Stomach
4 Liver Tablets superior to pills? y
Our answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable as
they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorste the
stomach and leave the bowels in a
natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation For sale by

OBITUARY.

OOllUAES1s
Died, at his home, in this city, IN
the corner Of Fourth and Huron
street, Saturday evening, March
29tb, 1902 Fssncis Nj. Dance
age 63 years 10 m, and Ia days.
Every State, County, City and
town, hare their distinguished and
useful citizens, bu death is the
common lot of all. The roads Of
life, though many, have but one
terminal, aud mother earth be-
comes the final resting place for
all. The beggar in his rags and
the king in his jewels, all lie down
in the narrow charnal house, and
worms feast alike on both, great
and small.
The subject Of this notice was
born 10 Grant County, Wisconsin,
May 5th, 1888. and with his pa
rents came to Iowa in 1910, and
settled in Delaware county near
Delhi, where his father died in the
year l84S.
He attended the common school
in Delaware county, and later he
attended Cornell College, and then
attended the Michigan State Uni
versity and took course in the
law department., and was admitted
to the bar in Delaware county in
1867. Ia 1868 he came west and
settled in Missouri Valley and
opened a law Office, and continued
to reside here until the time Of
his death.
He has filled many honorable
and responsible positions; at one
time he was deputy county treas
urer under Capt. Geo. s. Bacon,
and has served as justice of the
peace many terms, and was, at the
time OF his death, one of such
officers of this city; was Mayor of
this city at one time, City Clerk,
Sec'y Of the Harrison Co. Agricul-
tural Society. Secretary of the Mo
Valley School Board, and many
other important positions not men,
toned.
He was a member of Valley
Lodge No. 232, A r. & A. M, a
member of Triune Chapter No. 81
also Ivenhoe Commaudry No. H.,
K. I. OF Council Bluffs. Also of
Mo. Valley Lodge No. ITO, 1. 90
I. and Red Cloud Encampment of
this city. He was a member Of
the M. d. Church.
He was united in marriage O,t.
18th 1876, at Logan, Iowa, to Miss
NJ. b. Van Hosen, who survives
him. His mother is still living,
having reached the ripe old age of
some 80 years. he leaves 70 chill
dren, his wife being the only sur
viyor Of his family except his niece
Miss Fern Roberts, who has lived
in the family here for some time.
And thus death has robbed us
of useful member of society, the
church of one of its devoted mem
bers and the Lodges one of their
, oldest members.
The cause of his death was the
result of cancer, which has for
years disturbed him. He lately
had an operation Of removal per-
formed at the Hospital in Omaha,
but the operation only fastened
the final result.
The funeral will take place at
the M. r. Church at 2 O'Clock p.
m. Tuesday, and burial in Rose
Hill Cemetery, under the auspi-
cies of the Masonic and OddFel.
lows Orders.

A Washington dispatch says that Senator Quay declares that he will in all sincerity on Mon- day move for the consideration of the statehood bill in open senate asking that the territorial committee be discharged.
 Last evening he intimated that in postponing the matter until Monday that he might not press it, but this morning he declares that it is not his intention to weaken; furthermore he believes that the bill has fair chance of passing.
 Delegate Rodey, who has put in great work on the measure, said that there are enough senat- ors pledged for statehood to pass the bill and only the old fashioned respect for senatorial courtesy will keep Senator Quav's motion from success.-Citizen.

Judge Sloan, on Saturday last, heard the case of the Santa Fe Pacific vs. Apache, MOhave, Navajo and Coconino counties. The railroad company, by it's attorneys, applied for an injunc- tion to prevent the assessing of it's lands at 76 cents per acre, in
 accordance with q law passed
 by the last legislature. The at torneys for the counties hit back at the railroad with d demurrer. The judge did not grant the in- junction, but decided that the law itself was unconstitutional. While the railroad company did not include Yavapai in it's in. junction proceedings, the decision also effects this county in it's assessment of the lands which
 was made according to law.

 The suit brought against Geo. w. Nickers, ,cx-auditor of Arizona, to recover on certain warrants drawn by him while in office and which were alleged to have been illegal, was settled last week Judge Kent deciding that the warrants specified in the com plaint were issued in strict ac- cordance with the law, and therefore regular and in every way legal. The suit against Mir. Vickers, and also against Gov. Murphy, were inspired by States man Ives, who did not hesitate to involve the Te, ritOrv in d heavy bill of costs in an attempt as the people believe, to further his own political aspirations Mesa Free Press.

In every community there are few who are ever ready tocome to the front and put up their money to further any proposi- tion of public import which will advance the interests of the town and improve the values of real estate. And there are some pro- perty holders who will never do anything. Yet when the work is done and all the benefits accrue, the latter class are always the first to raise their rents.

IN MEMORIAM.

The subject of this sketch, MIR. P.
Joseph MCGEE, was born of Irish parents
in the city of Wilkesbarre, Pa, on the
9Th day of December, 1870, and died at
Pocahontas, Va, on the 21st OF May,
1902. MI. MCGEE had many noble viz
tues and tenderness of heart which is
characteristic of the family from which
he originated. He had lived in Pocahon'
tas for the past Is years, and "Joe." as
he was Familiarity known, had numerous
friends throughout this section. He was
always most respectful to the aged, intirm
and helpless. During his last illness,
which lasted some six weeks, he bore his
sufferings with the utmost patience and
Christian fortitude; resigning himself to
the will of God. His body was laid to
rest on the oath inst, on the brow OF the
hill in the beautiful cemetery by the side
of his sister, who died some IA years ago.
The burial services were conducted by
the Rev. Father E. Olivier, pastor of the
Catholic church, and was attended by a
large concourse of sorrowing friends. The
beautiful service of the church was most
solemn and impressive. AS the funeral
cortege entered the church the choir sang
"Raise me Jesus" and then, like the
voice of angels came the sad, sweet notes:
LEAD Kindly Light" etc.
The floral tributes were numerous and
of the most beautiful designs, many being
cent by loving hands from distant homes.
The beautiful casket was surrounded by a
bed of flowers. The relatives of the de-
ceased pray that Gods blessings may rest
upon the many kind and noble friends
who have shown such deep sympathy for
them in their great sorrow. 1t was Gods
way, "His will not ours be DONE" After
life's fitful fever may he rest in peace.
The flower bearers were: COL Jas. S.
Browning, A. ]. King w. r. Graham, R.
