The death Of Mrs. G. H. Overkamp, at
Pella, removes one Of the few remaining
original members OF the colony of Hol-
landers that first came to Iowa and settled
at Pella. Mrs. Overkamp was nearly 90
years old. She came over from The Neither
lands with her husband with the Dutch
colony. The colony was formed in Utrecht
In August, 1916, with H. P. Scholte presi-
dent. With four chartered vessels the
colony, numbering 800 CT 900 persons, left

quarrel over Sunday school.
An interesting complication has arisen
here over the county Sunday school con-
vention and a proposal to admit to mem
bership the Sunday school OF the Unity
church. This Sunday school has never
been admitted, owing to the objections Of
some of those who are interested in the
Sunday schools of the orthodox churches.
Recently the president Of the County Sun
day School association, in arranging for
the annual convention Of the association,
asked that the Unitarian Sunday school
Join in the parade and extended an invita-
tion to the superintendent to that effect.
The superintendent has just replied, stat

would only be on condition that the Sun
day school be admitted to full member

the Sunday school refuses to do so and

DIES MONIES, May S.-(Special)-The
dipsomaniacs at the state hospitals are on
a strike and refuse to work for the state
OF Iowa. The insane patients are per-
fectly willing to work and do all the work
that is necessary, but the men who are in
the hospitals for the cure Of the drink
habit are unwilling to soil their hands with
real labor. At Cherokee last week the
officers OF the state hospital started to have
set out a large number Of trees. Volun-
teers we're called for to assist In the work
and of the sixty persons at the hospital
who are there on account OF being in
ebriates only one would agree to do any
work. One man said he would go out and
exercise n little. but not put in a days
work. The h%fty-nine others refused fatty
to do anything, declaring hat they did not
have to do anything and the state could
not make them work. Insane patients were
then used for the work at the hospital and
a large force was put to work setting out
trees. The report from the Cherokee hos
pital on the inebriates showed there we're
at the beginning Of the month hfty-eight
men present. This was a decrease OF seven.
Eleven had been admitted during the month
and eleven escaped, while seven we're
paroled. The report from Mt. Pleasant
showed seventy-three inebriates, eight be-
ing women, a decrease for the month Of
thirty. There was returned from escapes
eight, returned from parole two, admitted
a first time twenty-five, readmitted one,
paroled by governor eleven and ffty-two
ESCAPED.

Death At Prayer.

A remarkable example OF death under
peculiar circumstances occurred in Sac City
on Sunday evening last. There are a num-
Der OF members of the Free Methodist
church in Sac City and as there is no
church Of the denomination in the city 1t
is their custom to meet at the homes of
the members and have prayer meetings
every Sunday evening. The meeting was
at the home OF Mrs. c. F. Sprague, a
prominent woman OF the town, a long time
resident of the state. Mrs. Sprague had
Just offered a fervent prayer and a song
was being sung. in which she Joined, but
1t was observed when she was we'll into the
second stanZa that Mrs. Sprague ceased
suddenly and her companions rushed to her
side, only to find her dead. The incident
was so striking that 1t created a great
sensation among the members who had
thus been worshiping together. She was
a native OF Ontario and was born In 1886.
She came to iowa in 1875 and lived at
Boone and Grant City before geing to Sac
