So So frauds and corrupt practices
should be frowned upon, and there

loved brother Odd Fellow of Utopia
Lodge No. 1G1 I. o. O.. f. His labors
for the upbuilding of the order were
constant and knew no fatigue. He
was ever alert to do good deed for the
good of the order and his lodge in
particular, SO that his agreeable COM
partnership to us whether in the lodge
room or mingling with mankind will
be sadly missed and certainly will be
hard to duplicate. He was a man of
unsullied character, honest, truthful,
temperate and these principles he
taught his fellowman. Prudence in
the walks of life was his aim. Moral
ity in every sense he practiced and
preached; and as model being of our
Gods creation we idolized him for it.
A greater affection than the taking
away of such a father, husband, friend
could not have entered the portals of
home, a lodge, or the world at large.
We pray that his merits on earth will
be richly rewarded in heaven, where
parting will be no more, and his voice
ever heard mingling with angelic
song above. May we walk in his foot
steps and retain his memory as our
guide. Brother Scott died in Estel-
line, South Dakota, December 26,
1902, where his body was laid quietly
away, till time shall be no more. The
disease that caused his death was

st. Louis Family Found in Condition
of Suffering and Death.
st. Louis, Jan. Sick and tossing
on a miserable couch in poverty
stricken abode and surrounded by her
five young children, the police found
Mrs. Nancy McKane, slowly dying
from hunger. The dead bodies of her
husband and sixteen-months-old
grandson lay in the same room. There
was no fire and no food One of the
children lay on the couch with the
suffering mother, flushed with fever.
The husband had died from con
sumption and the infant grandson
had succumbed to insufficient nourish-
ment. The case was so appalling in
its restitution that the two officers,
who had accidentally discovered it,
provided coal and food from their own
pockets, and then took the oppor-
tunity ito make report for speedy
charity.

The Ross barber shop on lower
Broadway is prospecting nicely and
business continues to increase and be-
fore long it will be necessary to add
another chair, not barber chair for
they nave not got such thing in the
shop. But what of that-this place
seems to be doing good business.
Several of its patrons have spoken of
the work done here in the highest
complimentary terms possible. The
work also shows we'll for itself. The
prices are reasonable and we do not
see why the proprietor should not do a
most fourishing business. Two per-
sons who had work done here said
they were as well satisfied as work
they had done in much larger places.
Mrs. VIM. Schrader living about
six miles northeast of Ross passed to
the great beyond last Monday. She
has been i'll for some time with that
dreaded destroyer consumption until
at last she was called home to her
maker. She was comparatively a
woman in the springtime of her life
having not reached the age of two
score years. The funeral was held
Wednesday at IL o'clock at the Eden
Valley church the services being con-
Quoted by the pastor Rev. Hicks. The
remains were laid to rest in the Cam
eron Center cemetery where her body
now rests in peace. She leaves hus-
band and four children, three bows and
one girl to mourn the loss of an affec.
tlonate wife and mother. The whole
community extend their sympathy in
this great loss of a wife and mother
and very dear friend.
The mail carrier Jens Soreuson on
the rural delivery route that runs out
OF Ross seems to give good satisfaction
10 the many patrons along the route
as is shown by the way he has been
treated during the past few weeks.
one day Jens was out on the route
ana L. s. Bridenstine asked him to
drive into the yard and he loaded up
his sled with corn. Mrs. Backer out
IN Viola gave him a most elegant
Christmas dinner which was much ap-
preciated on such day. Mrs. N, j.
Dewey gave the carrier three pounds
of her best honey. On New Years
day Mr.. and Mrs. John Waycof IN
vited Mr.. and Mrs. Sorenson to q
most elegant dinner of turkey and all
good things Imaginable. Such things
as these tend to tighten the burden of
the mail carrier and it helps to make
trip pleasant on disagreeable and
cold day and it shows his services are
noticed and appreciated. Anyone can
spare a bushel of corn, oats, potatoes
or anything on the farm without
missing it and help to tighten the ex-
penses of this faithful man who deliv-
ers your letters and morning paper at
your door each day rain or shine.

Governor Appoints Given.

Des Moines, Jan. 5.-General Joseph
Given, who year ago retired from the
supreme bench, was appointed by
Governor Cummins district judge, to
succeed the late Judge Holmes of this
city. Given was not candidate and
his appointment was to avoid making
choice between five rival candidates
who had conducted such a strenuous
campaign that the governor could not
choose between them. 1t was also an
nounced that Republican primaries
would be held in nine weeks, when a
Judge will be named who will be elect
ed in the fall. General Given will hold
until q Judge is nominated.

WATER lNvADHs THE HOUSES.


Many FamiIiss Rescued From Par
TALLY Submerged Residences.
Seattle, Wash, Jan. 5.-White river
overlooked its banks near O'Brien sta
ton, fourteen miles below Seattle, at
8 o'clock this morning. The people
of the town were awakened by the
water in many cases creeping into
their beds. A relief train was or
dered from Seattle and on arriving
with boats the rescuing party found
several families, the women and chill
dren of which were huddled on chairs
and tables in order to keep from the
water that was more than two feet
deep on the floors. All persons were
taken to places of safety. No lives
are reported lost, but much property
has been ruined or lost. The foods
are now subsiding and no futher dan
ger is feared. Not since 1896 has there
been such foods in the White river
valley. The present one was caused
by the recent nine days rain and the
chinook winds, which melted the
heavy SHOWS in the Cascades. An
nouncement was made by the Great
Northern that the Madison bridge
would be repaired this evening and
the first break in the traffic blockade
would be made during the night by the
arrival of an overland train. It will
carry four days mail There is no
telling when the Northern Pacific main
line will be open, but probably not for
several days.
Seattle, Wash, Jan. 6.-The first
casualties as a result of the rising OF
the waters are reported from O'Brien,
on the Northern Pacific, between Seat
tie and Tacoma. There the water is
six or eight feet high. Martin Cum.
Minis and F. Shaughnessy were rescu
ing people from second-story windows
when their boat capsized and both
were drowned.

Revolver Poor PIaythino.

Sioux City, Jan. 5.-While playing

Bluffs, Charles Johnson, fifteen-year-
old boy, was accidentally shot by a
companion named Albert Cooley. The
bullet entered the temple and plowed
through the boys eye, coming out near
the nose. Although there is no def
mite evidence that the brain was
touched the boy is in very precarious
condition. The eye was shot complete
ly out of it's socket.

State Executive Council Issues State.
ment on Insurance CHARGES.

ment on Insurance Charges.
Des Moines, Jan. 3.-The executive
council of Iowa issued statement ex-
onerating State Auditor Merriam, and
incidentally Insurance Examiner Max
Beehler, from the charges made in GER
tain insurance papers and otherwise
that the auditor and examiner had
made Illegal examinations of eastern
insurance companies and charged ex-
orbitant fees therefor. The councils
statement is based on long opinion
furnished by Attorney General Mullan.
The council holds that there is no evil
dence Of exorbitant charges having
been made. 1t finds that there is no
requirement that fees for examination
be turned into the state treasury, but
holds that record should be made Of
them in the auditors Office, which has
not been done. The council further
holds that the auditor should not, un-
der the law, examine companies out
side the state without specific author
ity from the council, but that a pre-
ceding council having authorized Aud.
tier Merriam to make such examina
tions as he thought advisable, he
should not DO criticised. Attorney
General Mullan holds that the Iowa In
smrance laws are glaringly defective
and that they should be repealed and
new and consistent insurance code
enacted.
