MoRTUARY.


Proprietor of the Metropolitan meat
market, died very suddenly Monday
evening at his residence, corner Fourth
street and Third avenue, of heart
trouble. The man has been ailing for a
number of months, but the death was
sudden and unexpected to relatives and
friends alike.
The deceased has been confined to his
home but short time. He was at his
place Of business but few days ago,
and since his confinement to his home
has been sitting up most of the time.
He was much better yesterday and his
physicians felt greatly encouraged over
his symptoms. He called for his daily
paper last evening at the time of its
delivery and attempted to read, but was
annoyed, as he explained to q caller, by
what seemed to be butterflies fitting
about the room and before his eyes. He
said he had seen then, all day. He took
no. nourishment during the evening
hour, nor had he been able to during
the past several days. He seemed to be
resting quietly until about eight o'clock.
when he complained of intense pain in
the region Of his heart and shortly
afterwards he complained Of shortness
of breath. About half past eight he
moaned a few times with pain, and then
folding his arms across his breast he
leaned back and passed away.
He leaves wife and three children,
two boys and girl. There are three
sisters, two residing in Ohio ana one at
Leon, in this state. The deceased was
forty-six years of age at the date of his
death, September II. He was member
of local lodges of the knights of
Pythias, Odd Fellows, Modern Woodmen
and Workmen of the World. -Oskaloosa

Mrs. Rhoda Allen.

Wife of Mr.. Jacob Allen, was born in
Lawrence county, Ohio, August Is, 1888,
and died at her home near Lamont,
Iowa, October %, 1904, of lung fever,
aged II years, months, and 13 days.
She was married to Mr.. Jacob Allen
in Stark county, Ohio, in March, 1854.
To this union were born children, four
of whom are dead. Three died in in
fancy, and the fourth was the first wife
of Chas. Frink. The living are Mrs. L. j.
Frink, and William, Thomas, George and
John.
With her husband she came from Illi-
nois to Decatur county, Iowa, in 1856,
forty-eight years ago. In 1854 they
moved back to Illinois,, but returned
here in 1865, and remained here since,
residing for 81 years on the same farm,
the place where she finally passed away.
Her husband, aged ", still lives.
Mrs. Allen has been recognized as an
excellent woman, known especially for
her kindness to the sick and poor.
The funeral occurred the afternoon of
Saturday, October 20, from the home.
Elder II. A. Stebbins was in charge and
also delivered the address. The attend
ance was very large, being composed to
a large extent of those who had known
and associated with the deceased many
years ago in the pioneer days of Deca-
tur county.
The remains were laid to rest in the
Creveling cemetery.-Lamoni Patriot.

In Decatur County.

The tidal wave which swept over the
country struck Decatur county with
full force the republican majority for
the head of the ticket being 8S5 votes,
and every candidate on the republican
county ticket is elected, although each
one ran hundreds of votes behind their
ticket. Tharp for clerk has the small
est majority, 237, and Kelley for county
attorney has 239. Jim Cozad and Geo.
Baker each ran over 600 votes ahead Of
their ticket, which in normal year
would have easily elected them. Poush
the republican candidate for recorder
heads the ticket with majority over
Bunney of 54S, but even Poush is over
300 votes behind his ticket.
We have no complaint to make. The
democratic ticket was splendid one
and every candidate made a gallant
race. There is no disgrace in being de-
feated when the lowest man on the
ticket runs more than 300 votes ahead
of his ticket. 1t is simply the result of
too many republican voters in the
county. The democrats did their duty
nobly, but the odds were too great to
overcome. Democrats are not dis
couraged. They know that it is hard
thing to elect democrat in Decatur
county in a presidential year, and will
continue the fight which has been wag-
ed against the little clique of politi-
clans called the Leon ring. There'll be
a hereafter.

Charlton District Conference at De.
Catur City,

t The sixty-first semi-annual session Of
the Charlton District Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church was held in
the Methodist church in Decatur City,
Nov. 2, and 4.
The Charlton District contains 81
pastoral charges and according to the

a pastor in every pulpit" there is
pastor in every charge. These charges
are distributed over the territory, in
cluded in Decatur, Wayne, Lucas, War
ren, Clark, Union and Ringgold coun-
ties.
On these 81 charges there are about
10000 members and 83 church buildings.
The valuation of the church buildings is
$2O5,506, adding to this sum the valua-
tion of parsonage properties, 500, we
have the grand total Of valuation of
church properties of S247,O65. Last
year $16,359 was expended for new
buildings and improvements.
The correctional interests of this
District by a Presiding Elder, whose
residence is in Charlton. That which
made this session of the District Con-
ference of special interest was the pres
ence of Rev. B. +. Miller, the new Pre-
siding Elder, who succeeds DR.. W. B.
Thompson with whom many of the peo-
pie in this district are we'll acquainted.
The session was we'll attended and
many things of vital interest to the
community represented were discussed.
Many new plans that will result in
great good to the work were arranged
for. Some new buildings and much i'm
provement of church properties are pro-
posed and new era of prosperity in
the district is anticipated. Great good
is expected to accrue to the work of the
district from what promises to be wise
and aggressive administration in the
Presiding Elders Office.
Large congregations greeted the
speakers at all the open services and
Rev. W. H. Shipman, of Osceola DR.. A.
M. Pitcher, of Leon and DR.. d. G. Frank
lin, of Charlton, preached to crowded
houses.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the open hearted hospitality of the good
people Of Decatur City. Everything
possible was done to make full and
ample provision for the comfort of the
visiting guests.
For the success of the occasion we'll
merited praise and credit is due the
pastor, A. G. Heckathorn and his estim-
able wife and daughters for arranging
and executing the plan of entertain
ment. The visitors were very favorably
impressed with Decatur City and ex-
pressed in form of resolutions their
gratitude to the people for their kind
ness. JOE w. GooDsELL,
Secretary of Conference.
