confusing to attorney and newspapers

the law on this matter and makes the

dozen sections of the code. Undoubted

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Departed this life on Monday March
7.19O4, Mrs. Deborah Whittle, the wife
of Richard Whittle, aged 81 years. The
deceased leaves a husband, son and
daughter to mourn her untimely death.
She was stricken three years ago
with Bright's disease and heart
trouble. All these years she has borne
her affiiction and looked after her
household duties until a short time
ago.
During her sickness she was always
cheerful, greeting those around her
| with smile and a kind word. She
! was faithful wife and mother and
| was held in the highest esteem by her
| neighbors. and all who knew her. The
funeral services were held on Wed
nesday at a. M, in the Church of the
Latter Day Saints. Elder Thomas D.
Williams, officiating. The remains
| were followed to the Highland Gene
terry at Eddyville where they were laid
to rest. The members of U. M. w. A..
turned out en- masse and preceded the
remains from the residence to the
church and from the church to the
city limits. R. w
One Of the old residents of Iowa
passed away last Friday, Mar. 4. Mrs
Rebecca Mendel. Mrs. Mendel came
to Iowa from Washington, Pa, in Oc-
tober, 1851, and settled with her hus-
band and family, near Martinsburg in
Keokuk county. Mrs. Mendel was q
widow for a number of years and for
twenty-one years she made her home
with her daughter, Mrs. William C.
Malone, who resides on Summit street
The funeral was conducted at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Malone Sunday after.

Mrs. Mendel was born August 10, 1918

serts that it must not make any dis
Worship Fetch.

Society worships this fetch and &C.
tually believes it. This fetch Is a
nightmare that envelopes the whole
criminal jurisprudence, and intelligent
men, otherwise sane minded, have not
sufficient force of character to assert
themselves in the face Of it. Like
caste system in India it has hold on
mckless and jabbering humanity which
it seems that neither reason nor COM
mon sense nor human sympathy, nor
wise and sane spirit of gentleness
and forgiveness can make the slightest
head against. Cackley has been caught
and now will be ground under the Car
of Juggernaut thirty-seven years after.
We feel much pity for the old man
and the sturdy boys and the good girls
who for thirty years made life pleas
ant for him and themselves in the lit
tie home in Missouri.
"And it seems to us that the real Of
fender is not so much Cackley as the
society system that would hound him
to dishonor and death in his old age,
after lifetime spent in expiation. So
ciety first took Cackley at the tender
and irresponsible age of IA years and
placed gun in his hands and taught
him to kill people with it. Society
should be heartily ashamed of itself
for first burtalizing the boy and then
seeking him out after thirty-seven
years afterward, when he had made a
man of himself and attempting now
for the second time to destroy him.
Cackley is to be congratulated under
the circumstances on having exhibited
such excellent bottom, and it is pos
sible that he may survive this second
attempt of society to ruin him.

Miss Caroline Mabry Of Abba Elected
President of Senior Class.

President of Senior Glass.
Miss Caroline Mabry of Abba, who
has several times visited in this city
with Miss Bessie Dain, GOT East Sec
ond street has been honored by the
members of the senior class of Chris
ton college of Columbia, Mo-, by being
elected as president, Of that organiza-
ton. Miss Mabry's friends in this city
will be pleased to hear of her marked
popularity with her girl classmates.
The Abba Union has the following to
say about the selection of Miss Ma
bry:
"Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Mabry have re-
ceived word from Columbia Mo-, that
their daughter. Miss Caroline has just
been elected to the senior class of the
by a class of forty students who will
graduate in May. This responsible dis
fiction brings with it the high honor
of giving the class address on COM
mencement day and the school made
no mistake in it's choice of an orator
for that suspicious occasion. Miss
Caroline is the youngest graduate in
the school, having put in her summer
vacations making an extra years work
which permits her passing through a
four years course in three years. She
has not been overcrowded or overtax
ed, but steady, grasping student who
had a purpose and mind, and will
reach the goal of her ambition. Hel
undaunted courage is a fit example
for other girls who ought to do as
well with the same opportunities"
