NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OBITUARY..



Fred Farrell was born in Birming-
ham January 6, 1879, and died at / a.
m. Tuesday, March II, 1902.
While engaged at work with the
Morrell Packing company, at Ottum-
wa, he was taken sick, and the last
of January came home suffering from
a pronounced case of inflammatory
rheumatism. About February 81,
while reclining on a chair in the
sitting room, where his father was en-
gagged in writing, he was suddenly
stricken with paralysis, one side of his
face showing the symptoms plainly.
Since that time until death he has not
been able to speak a single sentence
that members of his family could I'M
derstand. He suffered ex%cruciating
pain from the first, but being a strong
and robust young man, there was
strong hope that he would recover, but
such proved not to be the case, and
Monday night he passed away in the
same house in which he was born.
He leaves a father, mother, two SIS
tiers and four brothers to mourn his
death.
The funeral was held from the fam
lily residence Wednesday afternoon at
2 o'clock, Rev. Smith conducting the
services.-Birmingham Enterprise.

MINER INJURED.
Falling Slate Catches William Ford at
Phillips Mine Near City.

William Ford, a miner, working at
Phillips mine near this city, was
caught beneath some falling slate and
quite severely injured. No bones
were broken though it is probable that
he will be confined to his bed for
some time from the injuries received.
Yesterday afternoon, about $3.50
o'clock, while at work in Phillips mine
William Ford was caught beneath a
mass of falling slate. The force of the
fall was somewhat broken by part of
the slate being caught upon some pro-
truding timbers, which it is thought
saved Ford from being crushed to
death. Mr.. Ford vas removed from
his pinioned position by his fellow
workmen and taken to a house near
by. DR.. A. o. Williams of this city
was summoned and upon examination
it was found that the injuries sustain,
ed though quite severe We're not nee
essarily fatal. This morning Ford was
taken to the home of MI. Nelson where
good care is being given him.

w. a. q SONo.
A Store Which Has Always Been One
of Ottumwa's Foremost Retail
Establishments.

One of Ottumwa's firms which en-
joys the prestige and standing that a
long and successful career gives, is
that of w. A. Jordan & Sons. Many
men and firms have come and gone in
a mercantile way, in this city since
the business of w. A. Jordan & Sons
was established, but this firm has
stood the strain of all the fluctuations
of market and trade which necessarily
come in such a length of time.
Fair dealing, good business methods
and an effort to please all customers,
have all contributed their part to the
success of this store. The past years
business has been one of the largest
in the history of this firm. This is be-
cause there is an aggressive effort on
the part of the proprietors to make it
so.
One of the features of this store is
several exclusive lines in both ladies'
and gentlemen's clothing. These de-
partments of the business are adver-
tised and pushed during their seasons,
and the result is that there is a con-
tinuous increase and the customers
get better bargains each year. Quality
in goods counts at Jordans' and all
goods are bought and sold with a view
of pleasing the customer. This firm
has an announcement on page 4 OF
this paper which is of especial
interest to everyone. Jordan's ads
are always good reading and are mon
ey savers for those who take advan'
tage of the lists of bargains which
they always contain. Messrs. Jordan
have contracted for advertising in the
Courier for the coming year and Their
announcements will save the economi
cal shoppers much time and money
during tha DeriOd.
