Death and Burial Of a Town.

A town that never does any,
thing in the public way is on
the road to the cemetery. A
citizen who will do nothing for
his town is helping dig the
grave. A man that will curse
his own town is furnishing the
coffin. The man who is so sell
fish to have no time from his
business to give to city affairs
is making the shroud. The mer-
chant who will not advertise is
driving the hearse. The man
who is always pulling back
from public enterprise throws
boquets on the grave. The man
who is so stingy as to always
be bowling hard times. preach
es the funeral sermon an sings
the doxology and thus the
town lies buried free from sor-
row and care. Elk.

h1e. Valley. Noodbine Game.

The fourth game of the sea-
son was played at Woodbine on
Saturday, Oct. 2Sth, between
the Woodbine Normal and the
Mo. Valley High school. 1t was
an ideal day for a football game,
just cold enough to make the
players play their best, and to
make the "rooters" root to keep
warm. In the first half of the
game Woodbine made a touch
down and safety. In the second
half Mo. Valley forced them
from their own five yard line to
Woodbine's three yard line. A
controversy occurring here be-
tween the Referee and Umpire,
which being decided in Mo.
Valleys favor, the Woodbine
team left the field, thus forfeit
ing the game, leaving the score
6 to 0 in Mo. Valleys favor.
The game was characterized,
all the way through by Nilsson

The Emblem of America

When l look at the flag of America,
AS her colors unfold to the air,
And think of the loss on land and sea
OF her sons that were loyal and fair.
America, America, whose sons were all
SO brave and true,
A grander word we never see
Save that of the red, white and blue.
And think of the hearts that were
true.
How they gave up their lives that we
might be free,
Then three cheers for the red, white
and blue.
Let us cherish the flag of liberty
And suffer for it if we must,
For the heroes of old, they suffered UNI
told
To keep it aloft from the dust.
Chorus
AS we look at tie price of liberty,
And the suffering and sacrifice it cost,
While they re cuel the nation from
tyranny
Er'respect of the lives that were lost.
Then stand by the colors that float DER
the land NJ
In honor of men who wss-- brave
That suffered and died with musket in
hand
And sleep in an unknown grave.
Chorus
America, the grandest nation ever won,
Acknowledged thus throughout the
world;
Her flag high in the breeze unfurled.

Composed by Melvina siegfried, Mis-
sour Valley, Iowa.

NAMESF ATHER AS6uARDlAN
Jud4e Wheeler Takes Measures
to Project Property Of John
fitzSibbOn
MONARCH, OCT. 90:

Nonparel!, Oct. 70:
On representations as to dis
solute habits and inability to
properly care for his own finan-
cial interests, Judge Wheeler
yesterday granted the applica-
ton for the appointment of a
temporary guardian for John
Fltzg ibbon of Missouri Valley.
His father, Henry Fitzgibbon,
who is the complainant in the
proceeding, is named as guar
dian upon filing Of a bond for
$4,000.
TIE guardianship includes a
temporary restraining order
directed against John Fitzgib-
bon to prevent him interfering
in any way with his father in
taking charge of the property
and directing its management.
John Fitzgibbon, who by this
proceeding is once more placed
legally in the control of his
father, is about Is years of age,
unmarried, and is the owner of
l6O acres of land. He was also
possessed of considerable mon
ey and personal property, but
the application for guardian
ship states that this has all
been squandered in r;otous liv-
ing. The farm is reasonably
estimated to be worth $4,000
and was given to him by his
father.
H nry Fitzgibbon, the faith
err, lives about six miles north
west of Missouri Valley, and is
listed among the wealthiest
farmers of Harrison county.
He still owns a large amount of
real estate besides having made
liberal provision for several
sons as they came of age. John
Fitzgibbon is declared to have
fallen into evil ways and the
father expresses the conviction
that unless his son is prevented
by process of law he will con-
tinue to be the victim of gamb-
lers and grafters and foolishly
and loosely dispose of his re
manning property.
Attorney S. II. Cochran came
down from Logan yesterday
and made a showing before
Judge Wheeler on the guardian
ship application. The order
issued only applies until a date
can be set for a hearing of the
case on its merits with refer
ence to making the guardian
ship permanent.

Some men are old at 81 years
while others are old at 80, and
others just begin to get old at
90 years. 1t all depends upon
circumstances. If a man con-
cludes he is old, he is old; but
if he continues to believe it is
only spring time of life so it is.
Rev. John Wesley was preach
ing at IS, Gladstone at 81 was
the ruler of England; Theirs at
n was t h e master mind of
France, Gortchakoff at so was
the diplomatist of Russia; Rus
sci Sage at SO is a power on
Wall street N. Y; Won Moltke
at II, and Bismarck at GO made
Prussia an empire; Judge Hoar
at IS was the oracle of the SEN
ate of the United States, and
never wore an over coat; Mar
shall Field at GO is the mer-
