PROFESSOR E. G. STEUDE, the emf
nent German savant, in recent article
in Beweis des Glaubens, takes the ground
that the twentieth century truce between
science and theology has been broken
and that the antagonism of the natural
science to Christian teachings has only
been temporarily silent, not dead. This
is especially the case since the address

John Appleton Hicks.

John Appleton Hicks was born at
Long Point Canada February IL,
1913. When he was nineteen years
old he was apprenticed as a black
smith and faithfully completed
his apprenticeship. When he was
twenty-five years old he came to
the United States. When he first
left home he told his mother he
would be back in three days but it
was three years before he was home
again. The first seven years of his
stay in the states he worked in Wis
consin up and down the Mississippi
rafting in the summer time and
working at his trade in the winter.
He came to Iowa, in 1871, and
worked at his trade. He was the
pioneer blacksmith and did work
for the early settlers all over the
county. In 1881, he went to the farm
a mile west of town and remained
there until the spring of 1893, when
he sold out and again moved to
town and purchased dray line. He
worked at this for few years but
then sold out and went into the liv-
cry business. He followed this for
four years and then sold out and
built the shop in which he was
stricken.
On January 4, 1874, he married
Marybelle Smith, in Extra, and nine
children, four boys and five girls,
came to their home, two of the girls
died in infancy. Those children
remaining are James A., Samuel A.,
Ethel O., Clarence H., John, Della
and Ora B.
His father James Hicks died in
1873, at the age of So years and his
his mother, whose maiden name
was Marguerite Cannon died in
1880, aged 10 years. He came from
a family of ten children, six boys
and four boys. His sisters have
all passed away and his brothers
| still live in Canada
The services were held Tuesday
at the home, conducted by Rev.
Nichols, assisted by Rev. Fisher.
The deceased was one of Audu-
bon county's pioneers. He was in
nured to hardships and worked un.
til the last hour of his life. Last
Saturday, he was stricken in his
shop, with paralysis. He was car.
ried home and every thing possible
done for him that could be but he
only lived about three hours. On
his funeral day the business houses
closed and the business men turn
ed out to the services.
He was q noble citizen and kind
and indulgent father. He loved his
home and was seldom away from
his place of business and his life
was one of usefulness.

that Nebraska is the banner state

bumper crop of the natural cereal.
