Mrs. Lille Hanks was bonn
a Crescent City, Iowa, October
Itch, 1885, and died Sept. 17tl,
1903, aged II years and IL
months.
She was married TO Mr.. EL-
ward Hanks March Is, 1903, at
the NJ. E. church in Missouri
Valley, and by her request tho
funeral services We're held at
the same place and preached
by the same one, Rev. George
Fiddler, who performed the
ceremony which united her for
life to the one she dearly loved
and was so hard for her to give
up.
The following is a CONVERSE
ton between Lille on her
deathbed, and husband. mother,
sisters and friends: Edward,

heard my prayer. lie has

be laid away after she was
called to her new home above.
After giving each relative what
she wanted them to have she
thought of her kind doctor,
who she thanked very much
for what he had done for her
during her sickness. At her
very last moments she thanked
every one and told each one by
her bed goodbye and requested
them to tell all she knew good
bye for her.
She was sick for several
months, but was taken to her
bed about five weeks before her
death. She knew every one
and realized everything until
the very last.
The funeral Sunday, Sept. 20,
1903, at II a. M, was largely
attended.
In Remembrance Of Mrs. Lille Hanks
She has gone to her grave,
Where she rests with the brave
But few short months ego
ller cheeks in health did glow;
Her friends did all they could
To make her truly good.
Today her spirit dwells-
Her sweet voice she nobly swells-
On Jordan's peaceful strand,
Forever with those to stand,
That happy, happy band.
On CanHan's bllssful land.
There she'll always intercede
For relatives and friends, all, indeed
That all may be an nnbroken band,
Dwelling forever in that happy land.
The loss on earth We all do feel,
But happy thoughts DER all do steal
To know her sins wer. all forgiven,
And, with the rsnsomed now in
heaven
Awaits the time when she may all
Her husband, mother, sisters, call
join her in the heavens above
10 dwell In Jesus endless love.
We saw her here, in bloom and
health;
We saw the foul Destroyer, In stealth
Seize upon her as his prey;
Her bloom Of youth he made decay.
We saw her in her last decline,
But Lille never did repine.
Her faith in Jesus was 80 strong
Thst time on earth 1t seemed so long
She praised her Maker to the last.
On earth, with her, all is past.
S1eetly with Jesus does she dwell
And bids to all kind farewell.

Persia Ball Team Won In A Walk
From WcOdblne Yesterday.
There amt no joy in Wood
bine today and not within six
hundred dollars of as much cash
as there was yesterday.
By defeating the Woodbine
ball team yesterday by a score
of 8 to l, the Persia team today
has a perfect right to claim the
base ball championship of Har-
rison county. Because of con
tinuel victories during the past
few weeks, the Woodbine team
has assumed a real chesty air
but today their colors are trail
ed in the gumbo and the Persia
fans listen to the musical jingle
of six hundred plunks slowed
away in their pockets. The
game between the two rival
teams was played on the Logan
grounds yesterday afternoon
and was witnessed by a large
all enthusiastic gathering,
ABOUT two hundred loyal rooters
a :companying the Woodbine
team. The hackers of both
teams had plenty of money
and cofdence and betting on
the outcome was very lively.
The Persia team demonstrated
their superiority early in the
game and the outcome of the
game was known before many
innings had been played. The
work of George A. Kellogg of
this city as umpire is highly
commended by both the Wood
bine and Persia teams.
"Stricken Blind" will be the

er Company next Monday
night. Ladies free first night

One of the most powerful
melodramas ever written is the
play of stricken Blind" which
has been one of the features of
the Chase-Lister Company the
present season. 1t deals with
the love of a mother for her
child, a fathers search for a
missing wife, and the final over
throw Of the williams who caus-
ed the trouble. The comedy
element is unusually strong,
dramatic situations we'll worked
out, and in fact there is some
thing in the play that will please
all classes. The handsome cos
tunes and stage settings of the
last two acts are especially fine,
and an excellent line of special
ties, illustrated songs, ETC., fills
up the time between acts. 1t
is play popular with the mas
|Ises.
