IN THE BIRMINGHAM
REAL ESTATE MARKET

Birmingham's real estate market II Is
said, was never in so sound eohoieion
as now.
There have been active periods from
time to time There have been booms more
or less inflated but never. it is pointed
out, has Birmingham's future been so
fully assured as recently, and the reel
ing of absolute certainty that Birming~
ham will double its population within the
next few years and become a great city
of high metropolitan rank within another
decade naturally makes realty here SIN
guIarly attractive from either speeula-
tive or investment point of view.
More new Industries have peen located
in the Birmingham district within the
past twelve months than within any for
mer period of three or four years; and
industrial development is yet in its in
fancy. Salaries and wages here are good,
and the percentage of men who can afford
to own their homes Is larger than in any
other city OF similar size in the coun-
try.
While real estate prices in Birmingham
have been steadily reaching higher levels.
they are still relatively lower than in
Memphis or Atlanta And any one who
stops to think must see that Birmingham
has a greater future than either of these
cities, prosperous and growing though
they be.
Business property is exceedingly active.
and there is also marked activity in res
idence property.

AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR.
Foot Ball Banquet Held Last Friday
Evening a Grand Success.

The foot ball banquet was held Fri
day night at the Northwestern hotel
and vas enjoyed by all present. The
idea of having such a banquet was
started about two weeks ago when two
or three of the boys in talking over old
foot ball days expressed the wish that
the teams of the last two or three
years could get together and have a
good foot ball talk. The banquet
grew out of this talk and gave to the
members of the two teams the opper-
tunity of meeting and having this
foot ball talk. Arrangements we're
made with Mr.. Guy of the Northwest
ern to furnish the banquet and the
success of the venture was due in a
great measure to him. At about 9 p.
m, the boys filed into the dining room
behind Prof. Duncalf as toastmaster.
The sight which met their eyes was in
deed good one. The table was very
nicely arranged and loaded down with
good things to eat. 1t didn't take a
great while for the good things to dis
appear, however. and the supper pass
ed quickly but with great deal of
fun. At one end of the table Mr..
Slothower, Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Dun
calf were discussing the foot ball of
their college days while at the other
end High school foot ball and Ora
Sitter kept the conversation going.
After supper a program of toasts had
been arranged as follows:
The HAS Beens". ."Chrissy" Hymer
The "Will Be Has Beens". ......
Observation-Disclosures" Peter" Metcalf
"What We Will Be-.
."Fagin" Weir
"What They Should Have Been.
."ReO' Evans
"What We Want Them to Be-"
.............."C Charley" Slothower
"What We've Always Been" $50.
..................... dick" Meyer
Each speaker was introduced in a
short speech by Mr.. Duncalf as toast
master and all responded with good
toasts. Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Slothower
spoke more at length than the others
and kept the table in an uproar. Mr..
Evans in speaking on "What They
Should Have Been" had some 'little
Dig on each player and after every
new dig the boys responded with
laughter and cheers. At the request
of the POSTMASTER, Tom Greene also
took a part in the program with his
recitation in Irish brogue, "O'Grady's
Goat" The banquet broke up at
about IL o'clock with everyone ex-
pressing the hope that next year
would see them all together again at
another enjoyable banquet. This hope
has been expressed since and will
probable be carried out and the foot
ball banquet be made an annual affair.

BURGLARS CAPTURED.
MiScreants who Entered Mccartney
Depot Captured in Iowa.

The depot at Mccartney station
on the Burlington was entered eby
burglars Wednesday night of last
week and case of rubber boots
consigned to.the!Burton storekeeper
was stolen.
The affair was reported and an
investigation taken ups Friday the
marshal at Farley, Iowa, arrested
two suspicious looking characters
at that place who were selling
rubber boots. He did this after
reporting to the sheriff of Dubuque
county that the pair were so doing,
and upon the sheriff's advice had
them given Jail sentence for sell
ing goods without a license, ~ that
their previous acts might be
looked into.
The report of the Mccartney
robbery arrived at Dubuque at
about the same time the robbers
did and the sheriff there notified
Sheriff Glenn that there was no
question about the identity of the
thieves.
Acting upon this report Sheriff
Glenn and Under Sheriff Calls went
to Dubuque Friday and secured the
burglars, returning to Lancaster
with them Saturday eve.
They were arraigned before Justice
Shimmin Monday morning, gave
their names as J. B. Montgomery
aud j. E. Buntz, and a continuance
was taken to the 10th.
Bail was fixed at $3.50 each and as
no funds were forthcoming they
were remanded to Jail.
Montgomery recently was liber-
ated from the Iowa penitentiary at
Anamosa and Buntz is half breed
indian. The latter has a pair of the
stolen boots on his feet.

SYMPTOMS OF GRIP.
How You Feel if About to Have
Siege of it.

Here is a chance to find out
whether or not you have the grippe.
If you have been moping about the
house for few days, uncertain
about going to bed, but absolutely
certain about not goin' to work, you
may learn your true condition by
reading this story. 1t was written
by a Keokuk man, who, possessing
the triple qualifications of being a
newspaper man, physician, and a
victim of the grippe, ought to know
whereof he speaks:
THE symptoms of the grip are
complex in detail but are very
simple as a whole. The patient
feels as if the devil has reached a
hard skeleton hand out of hell and
grasped his body with crushing
force. One finger generally touches
the head and makes it feel like
death were ecstacy. Another finger
strikes the lungs and makes breath
ing painful and difficult sometimes
the devilish hand starts an in
f1amation there which is pneumonia.
Another finger comes across the
small of the back and this must be
the ring finger from the extraOrdi-
nary pain and paralysis which re-
suits from the pressure there. The
little finger clasps the legs. and
while the ache there is not so severe
it penetrates to the marrow of the
bone.
aside from this, the victim feels
so sick all over that he is nearly
ready to admit that it might be
preferable to die and let the devil
take him down to the domains Of
his satanic majesty. He is sick in
his brain, in his lungs, his liver, his
stomach, his diaphram and his
feet-the only other sickness as
sickness, comparable with it is that
which comes to the landsman on
shipboard. And this is corrobora-
tive that the grip is the other one
of the devils own diseases; for the
objection of Methistopholes to water
is the cause of sea sickness. !"

Carl Brandemuhl, a hard work
ing young farmer living on the
Pemberthy farm west of Lancaster,
met with a painful and serious
accident Monday that will cause
him many weeks of confinement.
Mr.. Brandemuhl was coming

fortunate man and conveyed him to

DEATHS OF THE WEEK
Beth Old and Young Called to the
Land of Eternal Rest.
JOECKEL.

JOECKEL.
The happy home of Mr.. and Mrs.
S. Il. Joeckel in the fourth ward
was thrown into deep gloom Satur-
day by the death of their Oldest
daughter, Dorothy, aged six years,
who passed away at an early hour.
Little Dorothy had been ill for a
week or more with an attack of la
grippe that left her heart badly af-
fected and physicians informed the
anxious parents several days prev
ious to her demise that the case was
a hopeless one and that the spark
OF life could be kept alive but a
short time at the best under such
desperate conditions. Thus while
prepared in a measure for the sor-
row that was about to visit them
and expecting the final parting, still
the end was a sorrow difficult to
bear. The silent form as it lay
serenely in the beautiful white cas-
ket only brought the grief-stricken
parents to a fuller realization of
their blasted hopes and cherished
ambitions.
1t is sad indeed to have a loved
one taken from us and we wonder
why we should be made to suffer so,
but the sorrow is all the more keen
ly felt when the loved one, whom
the angel of death has taken from
us, is the sunshine of the home, the
apple of our eye-in fact the being
which furnishes us with inspiration
and ambition and lends us strength
and every wherewith to fight the
battles of life.
Dorothy Aileen Joeckel was born
at Lake Mills Aug. II, 1898, and
came with her parents to Lancaster
in August Of 1901. She attended
the primary school until her ILL
ness prevented and was a great
favorite with her teacher, Miss
Warren, and all her little friends
who will miss her presence to a
marked degree. A member of the
Congregational Sunday school, she
was also regular attendant there.
In the home is where she will be
missed the most for she was a child
possessing more than ordinary in
telligence for one so young. She
appeared twice her years in as
sisting in the care of her two
younger sisters and was ever at
tentive to them as we'll as being
dutiful and affectionate to her in
dulgent parents to whom she was
so greatly attached.
Brief services were held at the
home here Sunday noon and the
remains were taken to the outbound
train at 2 p. m. and conveyed to
Lake Mills where 1ntelment took
place Monday. The obsequies were
conducted at the home of the grand
parents, Rev. 0. E. Reitenbach of
that city officiating.
The funeral party from here in
cluded Mr.. and Mrs. S. H. Joeckel,
w. F. Joeckel and two children and
Miss Laura Joeckel of Lake Mills.
AS a delicate plant transplanted
into richer soil to bloom the bet
ter, so this little flower is borne in
the arms of angels and transplant
ed in the heavenly garden to bloom
in all purity and beauty. With a
surity the home on earth has sacri-
feed a great contribution to the
heavenly home, where she will
live, as here, in loving unselfsh-
ness, ''for of such is the kingdom
of heaven"
