she came to Iowa and has been resi-
dent Of Ottumwa almost ever since.
In 1882 she was married to Enoch
Roope, who died in 1861. She was
the mother OF nine children, four of
whom survive her: John d. of Oso-
watama, Kan; Mrs. Eliza Jones of
Keokuk Mrs. Cynthia A. Stice of
GAINESVILLE, Ia, and Miss Frances V.
Roope of Ottumwa.
Mrs. Roope was a good Christian
woman and patient sufferer. She
had been for over fifty years con
sistent member Of the Baptist church
and many will remember her by her
good works.
The funeral was conducted Monday
morning from the home of Mrs. An
ME Baker on Queen Anne avenue

OLD MEN IN SENATE.
Allison of Iowa is Veteran of Upper
House,

Senator Pettus of Alabama, who has
just been reelected, was born July 6,
1921. He was old enough at the time
of the great WebsterHayne debate to
have the rumor of that historic strug-
gle make some impression upon him,
and he was practicing law soon after
the Tippecanoe campaign, when Chi
caeo had only 1900 or 5000 inhabit-
ants Later he served in the Mexican
war, and then he was one OF the forty
miners, going all the way to California
on horseback. At the opening OF the
Civil war, which now seems so remote
to most of his countrymen, he was
entering middle life. He served
throughout that war. returned to the
practice OF law in Alabama, and was
first elected to the United States SEN
ate in the winter of 1862, when he
was rs years old.
In review of this long career its
most singular feature, seeing that II
has led to political honor, is the post
ponment of political activity. The sen,
ator was judge in the sos; after that
he was never a candidate for a politi
cal office until his name was proposed
| for the senatorship. But there are and
always have been old men in the sen
ate. The year that Mr.. Pettus was
| first elected to seat in that body, Sen
ator Morrill, of Vermont was reelected
and Senator Morrill, was born in 1910
so that he was sc, or some four years
older than the Alabama senator is now
Senator Morgan the colleague of Sen
ator Pettus, was born in 1S24,and quite
an array of senators beyond the three
score years and ten might be presented
by arranging them according to thel
years of their birth as follows:
1S21-Pettus, of Alabama.
1S24-Morgan, of Alabama.
1S26-Hoar of Massachusetts, Haw
| ley of Connecticut.
1S27-Platt of Connecticut, Stewar
of Nevada
1S29-Cullom of Illinois, Allison o
Iowa.
1S3O-Jones of Nevada. Teller of Col
orado, Vest of Missouri.
/ ,1S31-Proctor of Vermont, Frye o
Maine
| OF these senators, Stewart was frs
elected when he was 81. but he has no
seen continuous service since. Jone
was a senator at 43. Allison at "A, an
! Teller at 46. Most of the others wer
/ prominently identified with polite
long before they entered the senate
i But whether the beginning was earl
or late the list shows that we have GU
Nestors in public life to match agains

VERMONT WIDE OPEN
After Fifty Years of Prohibition state
Votes For License.

White River Junction, Vermont. Feb.
4.-AdVocates of local option carried
the state today and after more than
half century of prohibition, the cities
OF Vermont will after March / be per-
m1ttted to decide whether in toxicat-
ing liquors shall be sold in those COM
munities. The total vote with seven
small towns missing was 30,5SS in
favor OF license; 2S,946 opposed.
The missing towns gave a total vote
of less than 300 at the last election. 1t
is a coincidence that Vermont voted
for prohibition in 1853 by 1900 majori-
ty.

The third annual fair of Ottumwa

or, held in the A. o, U. w hall last
week was a complete success both So
cially and financially. 1t is estimated
that fully 5000 We're in attendance
during the fair. The annual fair OF
the A. o. U. W. lodge has become a
very popular event and is looked for
ward TO as gala time and period
for social enjoyment by many mem
bers of the order and their friends.
The members and officers of the A. O..
u. w. feel that a great deal of credit
is due to the women OF the Degree OF
Honor, for their earnest and untiring
efforts to make the event the grand
success that it was.
Lodaes Extend Thanks.
Both the Workmen lodge and the
Degree of Honor desire to thank those
who so generously donated in differ
ent ways, and also to the public for
its liberal patronage. It is a source
of great satisfaction to those directly
interested in these enterprises to know
that the people of the city seem to
appreciate their efforts in this line
and to realize that whatever effort is
put forth, or what money is expended
is not thrown away, not lost, but
that every dollar collected is put tc
some good use; to help, aid and assist
the sick and afflicted, to clothe and
educate the orphan, or to provide a
home for the widow when the breao
