OBITUARY..
ooooooooooooooo

Maggie q. Barrett was born Oct. %,
1882, and died Feb. 16. 1904, aged 81
years, months and "a days. She was
the daughter of Mrs. James Barrett,
who resides five miles west of the city
She was of happy, lovable DISPOSE
ton, which won for her the esteem and
friendship Of all with whom she came
in contact. During her illness, which
covered period of nearly year, she
was patient and resigned, bearing her
burden with great fortitude and piety,
knowing that after the trials of this
life she would meet the loved ones
gone before. Her mother had hoped
that Maggie would be spared to COM
fort her declining years but our Heav-
emily Father had willed 1t otherwise and
her death seems doubly hard to bear as
1t Is the sixth time in as many years
that the angel of death has visited the
family and taken from its midst the
father, sister and three brothers. Be-
sides the mother and two brothers.
William and Joseph. a large circle OF
relatives and friends are left to mourn
her death.
The funeral services were conducted
from st. Patrick's Catholic church,
Rev. Father OFarrell conducting the
last sad rites, after which the funeral
cortege proceeded to Calvary cemetery
where the remains were laid to rest in
the family lot. Six friends of her
childhood acted as pail bearers, as fol-
lows: Mary, Agnes and Kate Geno-
chic, May Travis, Kate Greeley and
Fannie Feehan.
The heartfelt sympathy of the en-
tire community is extended to the be.
reaved ones in their affliction.

1t was taken up too late in the session.
4 Judge Fairall was here yesterday.
He was gathering material for paper
which he will read before the next
meeting Of the pioneer law makers
association, March 8, on the ninth
general assembly.
The book was printed by job es-
Establishment in Davenport, and is hand
somely gotten up. About 1000 of the
2,000 edition which Judge Fairall had
published. on his own account have
been sold already. One county in
southern Iowa took eight copies of 1T
to distribute among the township offic-
ers. It contains not only the law
relating to township organization with
in the state but it contains about $50
different forms to be used in the trans
action of the official business Of town
ship officers.
Judge Fairall includes in his publ
cation the new road law passed by the
last general assembly. Whatever laws
this assembly passes affecting town
ship organizations he will include in
the new edition as an addenda.
Judge Fairalls paper before the
pioneer law makers will be very in
teresting and valuable addition to the
historical literature of the state. Judge
Fairall expects to include in his paper
some very interesting "reminiscences
that are not commonly known, of the
early days of the early legislature.

Pneumonia in Chicago.

Over 5000 people died Of pneumonia
in Chicago last year. In every case
the disease resulted from cold. Had
the cold been promptly and properly
treated at the outset almost everyone
would have recovered. This statement
is abundantly proven by the fact that
among the tens of thousands through
out this country who use Chamber.
lain's Cough Remedy to cure their
colds, no case of pneumonia has ever
been reported, which shows conclu-
sively that this remedy is a certain
preventive of pneumonia. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has gained it's
wide reputation and enormous sale by
the prompt and effectual cures of
colds and can always be depended
upon. For sale by all druggists.

FIVE YEAR PERIOD
CENSUS IN oTTUMWA MAY BE
TAKEN AT MORE FREQUENT
INTERVALS.
United States Is Moving In Such Rapid
Strides That Figures Gathered Are
Of Little Value After TWO or Three
Years.

A complete census of the population
OF Ottumwa may be taken every five
years instead of every ten years as in
the past If bill introduced into the
national legislature by Senator Hop
kins becomes law. The population
OF the United States and the develop
ment in commercial lines has adj
vanced in such rapid strides that be-
fore the ten year census period is half
over the data secured is absolutely
worthless except as a basis of crude
comparison.
h. The Decenniat Period.
The decennial census, based as it is
in the United States on constitutional
requirement, is so firmly established
that 1t. will probably seem to many
people at first glance like great limo
walton to suggest that census statistics
be collected, even in limited way ,ey-
cry five years. Senator Hopkins bill
providing for an agricultural census
every five years will therefore be ant
to meet with much discussion. The
proposal seems, nevertheless, an. ex-
cellent one, and the work could proba-
pelBeIo 6IMeu eql Iepun euop 90 6Iq
Pei uidaSuI CCuouS DuIcdu Win an GX-
penditure small in comparison with
that which such work has required in
the past.
Census More Frequent.
In some Of the European countries,
notably Germany and France, COM
plete enumeration of the population is
had every five years. These countries
feel, no doubt, greater need Of accurate
knowledge as to their growth, or posi-.
bly, decline, in numbers, than we do
in this country.
Though several Of the European
countries are much more accurate in
their statistics Of many social phenom-
ena than we are, the United States
holds recognized position at the fore
front for commercial and Industrial
statistics. An Englishman who re.
Gently published a book on American
industry spoke for example, Of the
great advantages Americans derive
from their statistics Hin competition
with nations like our own (England) !.
whose commercial, statistics are half
a century or more out Of date" AS
the best farming lands fill up with set.
tiers, and as closer figuring on crops
with reference to position in the
worlds grain markets becomes neces.
sary, the value of full agricultural sta
tistics will increase.
