Mrs. MaItby's HOmegOing.
The home going of Mrs. Maltby wa

The home going of Mrs. Maltby was
about noon on Thursday, February 4th.
Susan Burdick was born in Uayuga
county, N. Y, January IL, 1917.
When quite young her parents moved
to Genesee county. where she grew to
womanhood and was married in 1887
to Alanson Maltby. They moved to
CORTLAND, where they lived until
1913. Then they joined the tide of
emigration TO the new and undeveloped
west, settling near Kenosha. Wis. After
four years they moved to Illinois,
where they lived until 1865, when they
came to northeast Iowa. After FIVE
years near Waukon they settled in De-
corah. For some years Mrs. Maltby
has lived in the home of Mr.. j. j.
Marsh. Born of Christian parents,
Mrs. Maltby was converted when quite
young and entered the Congregational
church. While living at Antioch. Ill {.
in 1855, she Joined the Baptist church
and died a member of the DEBORAH
Baptist church. From the infirmities
of age, especially the partial loss OF
hearing, she was unable to attend the
public service but her faith and inter
est in religion did not wane. She APP.
preached death with true Christian
fortitude. saying to Mr. Marsh on
Monday, "my time is come, l can not
live long" Mrs. Maltby was endowed
with an active and inquiring mind
that sought to know and also under
stand the reason of things She was
interested in public affairs and was
reader of the papers, but especially of
her Bible. Her four score and seven
years are q matter of wonder when it
is remembered that three decades ago
a council of physicians said she could
not live more than six months at most
For q month past her health has not
been as good, and it was given her to
pass away with comparatively little
suffering. She was conscious until
tic hOuls VI uOl ucdtn' Wis. JuditUy
survived her husband twenty-nine
years and was the last of her fathers
family of five to pass away. The last
to precede her was Nelson Iurdick,
who died eighteen years ago at the
age of seventy-fi five years.
There remain TO mourn mother S
loss Mr.. g. o. Maltby. Mrs ]. ]. Marsh.
Mr. Henry A. Maltby of Cherokee,
and Mrs. Nellie Graham. Mrs. Malt
BY will be missed by large circle of
friends, yet many who knew her long
est and best have preceded her to the
other world.
The funeral was held at the home OIL
Sunday afternoon. Lovely flowers
and potted plants in bloom, the gifts
of love and sympathy we're supplied
beautifully. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. ]. W. Allen, Jesup.

Russians and Japanese Have Begun War.
At last the long anticipated war be-
tween Japan and Russia has begun in
earnest. The center of activity at
present is about Port Arthur. where a
severe naval engagement took place
Monday night, the japanese torpedo
boats attacking the Russian feet, in
which the Russian battleships
Retvizian and Cesarevitch and the
Russian cruiser Pallada were badly
damaged. Later reports state that two
Russian ships were disabled and two
captured by the japanese. In the en-
gagement man, Russians were killed
and wounded, while the japanese es-
capped without loss. Land forces are be-
ing rushed into Korea, where a land
engagement may be expected at almost
any time

Two New Store Buildings Possible.

1t is not improbable that there will
be at least two new modern store
buildings erected in DEBORAH the CON-

their lots in the block east of Winnie

The American public makes it
it's business to be well informed.
1t finds out quickly where it can
get the facts it wishes about top
les of the day. Since the be-
ginning of the war between Japan
and Russia have been in active
demand. McClure-Phillips, who
publish "The Heart of Japan"
by Clarence L. Brownell, state
that the first edition of that book
has been exhausted, and that the
second edition is now on the
press.
"Asiatic Russia" a book by
George Frederick Wright, which
is a complete study of Russian
territory in Asia, it's inhabitants,
its geology, flora and fauna, is
also much asked for because of
the large amount of valuable in
formation which it contains
about the country directly con-
cerned in the Russo-Japanese
difficulty.
1.-THE Awakening of the East"
by Pierre Leroy Beaulieu, is an
other important work dealing
with the country in which war is
now being waged. The book
covers Japan, Siberia and Russia
in the most modern phase of
their political and commercial
development, in addition to Civ
ing an exhaustive account of the
manners and customs of the peo-
pie.
The ANONYMOUS Letters from
a Chinese Official" which so
stingingly arraign our civi1iza-
ton as contrasted with that of
The Celestials, without doubt
struck a responsive chord in the
heart of the American reading
public. A little unobtrusive
brown covered volume of about
one hundred pages is selling at
the rate ofseveral hundred copies
week. which would be quite a
good pace for light fiction in
these days.
