Typhoid fever is In the air this

reason for the recurring period of

employers Immediately. When they

the men the latter refused to go to

In this offer the bosses say that

Miss Ada While

Miss Ads Wolfe, daughter of Rev.
Il. Wolfe, for many years resident of
this city, but now of Mt. Vernon, died
at st. Luke's Hospital at Cedar Rapids
Friday. Concerning her death the Cedar
Rapids Gazette speaks as follows:
Yesterday afternoon at st. Luke's
hospital occurred the death of Miss
Ada Wolfe, daughter of Rev. Reese
Wolfe, supersnnuated member of
the Upper Iowa Methodist conference.
She came to the hospital week ago
to undergo surgical operation. The
remains will be taken to Manchester,
Iowa, her old home, for interment,
this afternoon. Complete arrange
ments have not been made for the
obsequies as it is the desire to hear
from relatives to whom has been com
municated the sad news. She has three
brothers residing in San Francisco, two
sisters live in Mt. Vernon and another
sister is the wife of Rev. Merle Smith
of Ackley. The decedent was young
woman of fine education and had been
q teacher. She was engaged in teach
ing and taking postgraduate course
in Boston last year."
Miss Wolfe was several years ago a
teacher in the public schools in this
city. Her kind disposition and true
Christian character endeared her to all
her acquaintance. The funeral ser
vices were held Tuesday afternoon at
the Methodist church in this city
