A Young Life Passed to
the BeyOnd.

On last Friday evening, August IS
1905, occurred the death of Margaret
Kathrena, the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George P. Wiley, after a
short illness, the cause deing diabetis.
She was born at Castena, Iowa,
Sept. IA, 1890, and came with her
parents when they came to reside
here last fall. The funeral was con-
Quoted Sunday afternoon, Aug. 20, at
two o'clock from the M. E. Church,
Rev. H. o. Perry officiating, inter-
ment taking place in Fraternity
cemetery.
The death of this young lady, just
budding into womanhood, was eX-
tremely sad. She was taken very bad
on Thursday morning when the
doctor was summoned. She sank into
state of unconsciousness and did not
recover again. She was Of kindly
disposition and promised a glorious
womanhood which makes it very
lonely for the family by whom her
place will be so sadly missed. In the
short residence here she had made
many friends and a testimony of the
esteem in which she and the family
are held here was shown in the very
large attendance at the funeral. 1t
was feeling testimony to her worth.
Douglas County Press, Wash.
The announcement of this death
will come as shock to the many
friends who remember her as 'sLittle
Margaret" The writer knew her as
a five year old. Mr.. Wiley was one
of Gray's leading business men for
four years, being the founder of the,
Gray bank. They moved to Chicago
thence to Brooklyn, New York, and
at present are located on the Pacific
coast. The Journal extends sympathy
to the sorrow stricken family. IT'S
sad bereavement, indeed, the loss of
the eldest child and one just blossom
ing into womanhood. 1t is often
hard to see the justice of an all wise
Creator in the death of our loved
ones but God in his loving gentleness
and wisdom knows best.

Leslie Is Gone.

Sad news, indeed, reached our
little city Wednesday morning
last when a telegram from Wilmer
Kester from Moro, Oregon, informed
his parents here of the dangerous
condition of his brothers. health, and
in about an hour from the first tele-
gram, came another to the effect that
Leslie was dead.
One year ago last spring, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hester disposed of their person.
al property here, rented their farm,
and, with their two sons, Wilmer
and Leslie and daughter, Olive,
moved to the far away shores of Ore
gon, where they took up their abode,
to learn of the effect of the climate
and to compare business matters
there with those of Iowa. The two
boys being splendid scholars soon
found employment in their line.
Wilmer engaged his services to the
school board OF Astoria, Oregon,
while Leslie hired to the school
board of Tigardville, and, after
teaching term or two, contracted
with the board at Moro.
About week or ten days ago, he
became afflicted with severe cold
which soon developed pneumonia in
a virulent form with it's termination
yesterday.
His brother, Wilmer, will bring
the body to the old home in Lincoln
township, to which his parents re-
turned last spring, leaving the boys
on the coast following their chosen
professions.
Leslie was born and reared near
Gray where he received his educa-
ton. His life was one OF sunshine.

Another Sad Death.
Gloom was cast over the entire
community last week when it was
flashed over the telephone wires that
Miss Martha Rodgers had passed into
the Great Beyond. Miss Rodgers was
the daughter of T. FL. Rodgers and
wife of Anita. She was born Feb. IA
1889 and died August 80 1905 being
twenty six years, five months and
sixteen days at the time of her demise.
Her last illness was of short duration
and came as shock to her manv
friends. Short services were held
at the home after which the sad
procession marched to the Congrega-
tional Church where the funeral
sermon was preached by Reverend
Schwinley. lnterment was made in
the Anita cemetery last Friday
afternoon.
Miss Martha was graduate of the
Anita High School and for several
years has been prominent and very
successful teacher in the schools Of
Audubon and Cass counties. She
had planned to spend the next school
year learning new methods at Cedar
Falls and Was expecting to start for
that place last Monday. She was
stricken with peritonitis during the
absence of her parents and ere their
arrival consciousness had taken flight
and she had passed away forever.
Tins is another life ended Just st it's
entrance into maturity. The journal
and whole community extend their
sincerest sympathy to the bereaved
and grief stricken family. May they
submissively say, ''Thy will be DONE"

the most touching sights known to

OF the genus homo urging his young
friends to cultivate the beautiful habits
of patience, industry and the toilsome
accumulation of great gobs of knowl-
edge in order to seize the golden op-
portunity by the name and tail when
it comes around their side of the corral.
To be sure, it often happens that this
beautiful homily on human happiness

Grad who had been Separated from his
alma mater for number of years. He
was passing prosperous as the world

he could afford to. buy a new winter
overcoat without waiting to find out the
price of coal, and he had grown very
solicitous of the welfare of such estab-
lished institutions as the church, the
state, and the railroad lobby. When a
man reaches that point, he is in a fair
way to be reckoned among the solid
citizens of the country, or the oppres-
sors of the poor, as you may look at it.
For long time he had been consider
ing the advisability of returning to the
town where he had absorbed knowledge
and other solid and liquid refreshments,
but the established institutions afore-
said had kept him busy and it was not
until his eldest son was entered in the

There is somehow an underlined surrep-

however much Summing is indulged in

and the party, we observe, is made up of
men affecting the ease of sophistica ton,
and of other mems wives.
The man who is host does not, as a
rule, extend his hospitality to his own
wife. and for the woman who slums there
is want of piquancy in summing with
her husband.
So the dinner, to begin with, has
quite staccato gayety.
