A Bit of History.

The following is bit of history we
recently learned concerning three
Decatur county boys:
Twenty years ago last March, in 1883
A. I'll. Meter, Jess Ridgeway and John
Nancy started from S. METERS farm
overland for South Dakota and landed
where Centerville, S. d., now is. From
there they went to Douglas Co. to
where Armour now is and located on
claims, went back to CcnterviIIe and
worked till in July and then went back
to file on the claims, and found Holland
ers raising crops on them and they fail
to hold them. The boys went to where
Geddis now is and John Nancy gave q
man $40 to show him a claim that was
not filed on and on and they went
to Wheeler to file on it. They were
informed that the agent was away but
the man informing them said he was au-
thoriZcd to file claims and got the keys
to the land office and took the numbers
Of Mr.. Manney's claim, and, looking
at the records said the claim had been
filed on. The boys staid there short
,, time and came home. Mr.. Meter was
over the same territory two weeks ago
and learned from the states attorney
that the man that took the number of
Mr.. Manney's claim was a swindler and
! had fled the claim himself and that he
and partner had made $4,000 piece

prominent breeders in the country.

While little Jimmie Dillon was in the
Home pond Wednesday Of last week, it
seems thatin some way he got beyond
his depth, and came near drowning, but
was rescued by two boys, after cries for
help had failed to bring some men to
the scene. These boys, one son OF Mr..
Hougas, the other of Bishop Kelley,
knowing the disposition of a drowning
person to clutch whatever comes within
reach, agreed to cling to each other
with one hand and with the other grasp
and bring to shore the boy, and in this

Gave Nearly All to His Children.

"Uncle Tolbert' Rockhold recently
made division of the principal por-
ton of his means among his six child
rem, all living in this vicinity. The total
amount given to them appropriated
$4,000, and not $150,0O0, as stated in
the News last week. The division was
made as nearly on an equitable basis as
possible, the property distributed being
in money, notes, mortgages and deeds
for lands. His three sons eastof town
were given deeds for the fine farms on
which they live. j. E. 260 acres, George
400 acres, and Crit 255 acres. A. L..
Rockhold and Mrs. Mary Ann Wasson,
of this place, and Mrs. j. w. WATSON,
of Decatur county, received their por-
lions in cash or securities in each case
the varying amounts previously distrib-
nted among his children-and he has
been very liberal in helping them-was
considered and the totals made as fair
and equal as possible. 1t is safe to say
That all the heirs are made comfortable
and Independent by this generous
action on the part of their father and il
is a cheerful and refreshing fact to state
that all of them are worthy of their gooc
fortune. Mr.. Rockhold who is now pas
SO years of age, was prompted to take
this step, first to assist his children a
a time when it would be most needed
and appreciated, and secondly to escap'
from the burden Of managing his bust
ness affairs. We unite with his man.

years to enjoy his declining years i
peace and comfort. -Lineyille Tribune

Miss Cora, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
David Davis, was born in Philips county
Kansas, December 9th, 1879, and died
at the family home in north Pleasanton
Monday noon August 31st, 1903, being
% years, s months and days old. She
had been in poor health but yet able to
do her work, for nearly year, which
occasioned melancholy, dependency
and Indifference at times to her duties
and surroundings, and in one of these
periods the final end came with her.
In July following her birth her par
ents moved to Mercer county, Mo-,
where they continuously resided, with
the exception Of four years in Harrison
county, Mo-, and five years ago coming
to Pleasanton, Iowa.
| In early life she was converted and
Joined the ST. Paul M. E. church and
later eight years ago affiliated with the
Baptist at Riverview at the organiza-
ton of that church, of which she lived q
member until the last. Cora was a du
tiful girl, devoted to her parents and
home kind and affectionate to hel
friends of whom she had many. Thus
the light of a young life has gone ou
from this world into the unknown. The
following day Sept. list after a short ser
vice at the family home the remains o
poor Miss Cora were taken to Freedom
Baptist church south of town, FOLLOWED
by large concourse of friends, ant
where the funeral rites were held
conducted by Rev. Cyrus Deyoe, afte

w. &. Warfield OF London. Eng, is
making a peculiar trip across the
continent. AS the result of a wager
he was to start from London with his
passage paid to Boston, from which
city he was TO start for Portland,

in money and one suit of clothes. He
must not borrow nor beg, but NAV
work. He is an artist and carries
with him an equipment 10, work. He
is not to stop in one place more than
six days. The bet turns upon the pro-
position that he can make this trip
without receiving any insulting re-
bufs or discourtcous treatment. He
left Boston on March 5. and was in
this city on Wednesday. He walks or
rides as he pleases, but when he rides
by rail- he must pay fare-not using
the tramp methods. He is we'll

gentleman. The stakes of $1,000 were

THE CITY. ELECTION.
DR.. DUBOIS Elected Mayor

g William Pangburn, ChaS.
HoughtOn and L. S.
= Bishop Aldermen,

p Tie city election on Tuesday wa
ra'lier spirited although there was no
contest for mayor or treasurer, The
souly distinctive city officers. There
were BOP votes cast for may"r-9o ="
the first and POI in the second ward,
of which J. A. DuBoi5 rec .lred 30l
and D.. C. Vancamp l. Mr.. Sprague
received $50 votes for treasurer, and
Mr.. Kells !.
The aldermanic fight brought out
the vote. and though rot as close as
expected, yet cone iderable interest
was manifest.
The following is the vote: "
FIRST WARD. -
William Pangburn. for 2 vears-S4.
Chas. Houghton, vacancy, year-56.
A. L, Salmond. vacancy, YEARS.:
Mr.. Houghton was elected by Is
majority to succeed Alex. Beudreau.
SECOND WARD
L. s. Bishop-l6S.
Benjamin Nickers on-45.
Mr.. Bishops majority was IA, he
receiving nearly four out OF every five
votes cast. 1t is probable that had
Mr.. Nickerson been better ACQUAINTED
with the voters lie would have polled
little larger vote.
The vote on the charter was sur
prise to the friends of that measure.
In the first ward there were 80 votes
for it aud SO against it; in the second
ward 100 votes for it and 81 against
it-total 139 yes, and JAG 20, or only
Z majority against it. Under the law
it would require majority Of about
40 to adopt it. -.
It was believed that it would defeat
ed by at leasG two votes TO one and 1t
was felt that there was no hope for it.,
something was done by it's advocates.
Many Of those opposed to it fought it
openly and actively, and yet If twenty
five of the votes cast against it had
been for it the charter would have
won. 1t was the target of all sorts OF
Misrepresentation and consequent
misunderstanding. Coupled with the
Saimond and the Nickerson vote in
the respective wards was Il vote
against the charter in nearly every
instance. This was. due to the fact that
