Mrs. Lucinda B. Burr.
1822==1QO3

On Wednesday morning of last
week Mrs. Lucinda B. Burr passed
away after months of failing health.
She was the widow of the late Solo
mon H. Burr who died April /, 1902.
Mrs. Burr was of New England
stock, being born at Waitsield, VT,
March /, 1882, and was educated
at Bakersfield Academy, in the same
state. Those were days when emil
grafton was strong towards the new
states of the interior, and following
an older brother she came to Dover,
ILL.,, as a school teacher. In that
pioneer school of hers on the
prairie some of the Nichols and
Pratts, yet with us in this city,
were pupils. In Princeton, ILL.,, she
met Mr.. S. H. Burr and Feb. 20,
1851, they were married. Their
dispositions, so radically different,
balanced each other in a remark
able way, and for over fifty years
they lived together in happy union.
His calm, even judgment balanced
hers while her ambition quickened
him, and unitedly they pulled to-
gether in devotion to principle. In
1855 they removed to this vicinity
and the Burr homestead has ever
since been force making for the
best things in this community.
The prominent traits of her char
acter are expressed in the three
words-principle, duty and sacrifice.
The New England type prevailed
in her character. She was Puri-
tan in the best sense Of the word.
She came into the membership of
the Congregational church in this
city in 1856, and was a staunch sup
porter of it for nearly half a cen
fury. Other interests making for
the welfare of society found in her
helper.
During all the life Of the organi-
cation she has been w. C. T. U.
worker. And that society was
present in a body at the funeral
service on Friday last at the Con-
qregationa1 church. InfrmitieS
rested heavily upon the last years
of her life, and embarrassed many
noble traits of character. Hers
was staunch and God-fearing soul,
and from life we'll lived she pass
ed to her reward,
Four children were born of this
marriage, on whom only one sur
vives--Mrs. Charles Fuller of this
city.

What's the use to howl about

those people do the business. If

Prof. Sanford's Lecture.
A large and appreciative audience

A large and appreciative audience
gathered at Normal Hall last Friday
evening to hear the illustrated Art
Lecture by Prof. Sanford of the
University of Minnesota. Through
out the discourse the lecturer was
| followed with the closest attention
as she discussed the lives and works
of those two great masters of the
| Renaissance in art, Angelo and
Raphael, illustrating her statements
by large number of excellent
stereopticon views. These views
were selected with great care as
exemp1ifying the leading character
istics of each artist, and afforded
the audience an unusual opportun-
ity to compare one with the other.
They comprised many pictures that
have become familiar through re-
production, as we'll as others less
widely known.
Angelo, eminent as both sculptor
and painter, was characterized as
man of prodigious personality,
showing in his figures great strength
and action. His celebrated statue
of Moses, and another equally as
famous of David, were shown with
several others to illustrate these
qualities. Even his paintings were
sculpturesque. Several fine views
of his frescoes in the Sistine Chapel
at the Vatican were thrown upon
the screen to show this, including
the famouss Last Judgment" re-
garded as one of the greatest paint
ings in the world. During his long
life, which was embittered by con-
slant disappointments, he accom-
plished a marvellous amount of
work, not only in painting and
sculpture, but in architecture as
we'll, having superintended the con-
struction of ST. Peters al Rome.
Raphael was shown in striking
| contrast. Gifted with great per-
sonal beauty and a lovable DISPOSE
ton, his short life was series of
triumphs, for all were drawn to-
| wards one who combined rare talent
| with these qualities. His chief
characteristic is the portrayal of a
lofty, ideal beauty, rather than
| power, as with his great rival, An
gelo. Many of his famous Madon-
mas were shown to illustrate this,
| among them the "Sistine Madon-
na," justly the most celebrated pic
ture in the world, the Madonna of
the Chair" and others that grace
the Paris and London galleries.
! Among his other well-known pic
lures were shown "The Transfigura-
ton" St. Cecilia" and the famous
portrait of julius II, the art-1oving
Pope, who brought Raphael's genius
before the world.
Altogether the lecture was ex-
tremely instructive as we'll as en-
tertaining, and the audience went
away feeling fully repaid for COM
ing. An effort is being made to Sc
cure Prof. Sanford for series of
lectures to begin after the holidays,
the subjects to include the follow
| ing-"The Buried Cities of the
East, " Greek Art" Roman Art, !"
"The Art of the Renaissance"
"Rome," and "Paris.'

the land to obtain the equivalent of
a college education without leaving
home? President VIM. r. Harper
has this to say:
"Ten years from now the high
schools all over the country will
have added fifth and sixth years
and will be doing the college work
which now falls to the first two
years of the college courses. In
Michigan and Minnesota the state
universities are accepting work
done in many of the high schools
for the first year of college study.
l have not shadow of doubt that
the high schools are going to do
college work in the future"
