WILLIAMSBURG.

Williamsburg, Feb. 7.-<M. S. Ander-
son, prominent stockman Of Chicago,
died early Wednesday morning at his
home, 807 East Forty-fourth street,
from injuries received in Frederick
town, o. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson lived
for many years in this community, on
one of the finest farms west of town.
He sold out here about ten years ago
and their many friends were very
loath to see them leave as their home
was always very welcome place for
young folks to meet and have an even
ing of pleasure. Mr.. Anderson occu-
pied very prominent place in the po-
litical and business affairs of the coun-
ty. The sympathy of Mrs. Anderson's
many friends goes out to her in her
hour of sorrow.
Miss Lou Walker, bookkeeper at
Morse's store, has resigned, and ex-
poets to take position as teacher in
the public schools at her home in Moul-
ton. Miss Walker has won many
friends here, who are all very sorry to
see her leave, but if she makes as
pleasant and accommodating pedagogue
as bookheeper, Moulton has won what
williamsburg is very sorry to lose. :
| "lllldUlSDuIS, GU. l/ASu, eiI tSh
home in Williamsburg, Iowa, Tuesday,
February il, 1902, at 11:15 a. M, Mrs.
Catharine Harbert, aged X years, 5
months and 16 days. Funeral ser,
vices will be held at her late residence
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. lnterment
at Oak Hill cemetery.
Everyone here is being vaccinated
and those who are without sore arms
are the exception. 1t is being done
more as a precautionary measure than
from any scare, as there is only one
case of smallpox in town, and that is
rigidly quarantined There is another
case close to town, but it is closely
ouarantined as we'll. The last case
here does not come in any way from
the first one as that one was so wei
held in hand that not one exposure
can be traced to it. The one now was
undoubtedly caused by exposure from
a gang of Western Union linemen
who came here from the south, and re
i NAMED here for some time, and al
though they knew they had smallpox
| they kept at work, those that could
and exposed hundreds to the dread dis
ease. That there have not been more
cases is the surprise of the situation
here. School children are all being
yaccinated and adults who are no
yaccinated will be quarantined in cas-
of any exposures in the future.
There is to be revival here of al
the churches in the near future, as thu
church sentiment here is very stronl
at all times. One might wonder VIII,
the need of this move, but probably !
will do more good, and anyway all will
, wish the undertaking success.

A PLEASED AUHIENCE
Entertaining Elocutionary Recital At
 Doris Theater Last Night.

The elocutionary recital Of Mrs. Cla- ra Patterson Cillum at the Doris thea ter last evening, was attended by what might well be termed select and crit ical audience. and for q local enter t&inntnt at this season of the year. an unusually large one. Mrs. Gillum, al- though already well known here as an elocutionist of rare latent, achieved new honors through her work last night as did, all those who participated in the musical programme, which was of a high order.
 The first solo, entitled The Red, Red Rose" was sung by Miss <link. and it's rendition was so well received she was forced to respond to an encore.
 Mrs. Gillum appeared first in a hu- morous monologue entitled "Engage . It placed the audience in the best pos sible nature for the subsequent num- tCrs. and was loudly applauded. The Two Grenadiers' is the name of a bass solo which Mir. Irving Andrews sang in a manner that made his second appear ance necessary for proper acknowl- edgement, and there was q no less ap- DEecldtlOn or his second eIIOrt. Mrs. Gillum recited Light From Over the Range" and was followed by Prof Gas siO E. Grammar in violin selection in his usaul masteriy manner.
 The next number was a double reel tatiCn by Mrs. Giilum. Naughty Zeu' and Money Musk" and was properly recognized. Miss Klink followed in d solo Of three parts. the selections being If l Could Steal Your Wings" .Lov- CTS and My Lady" Her voice was well displayed in this number and she was loudly app!auded.
 The closing number of the programme was the curse scene from Leah The Forsahen." with Mrs. Giilum as Leah and Rev. Imri Zunwalt as Rudolph It was very realistically portrayed and given, of course, in costume. The scene was most dramatic and com manded the closest attention of the au- dience which reciprccated with hearty applause at it's close. Miss Grace An drews was the accompanist in the mu- SiCal numbers.
