Hey, mas IL ever sunk INTO you,
inquired the gruff voiced man in the
aisle seat Of the vaudeville theater
where smoking is allowed, that
there's whole lot Of geographical dis.
elimination in these illustrated songs
that have been heaved at US during
the last few years from the main decks
of vaudeville theaters by the rumblers
with the spitlocks, the phony gig
lamps and the SIG dress suits?
Whats the reason that Virginia.
Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana and one
or two others are the only states that
appear to be able to butt into these
mother-and-sister and home-and-fire-
side dirges? Some fellow did uncoil a
novelty by smoking pill and whit
Ting off chant about the chalk
ranges, or something like that, of New
Hampshire.
We'll, any smoker who could dig
up anything poetic in New Hampshire
that he could build song around
ought to be able to sling us one, say.
about the sage brush of Idaho.
why couldn't they fashion one
about the grasshoppers of Kansas or
the bullhead catfish Of Missouri?
How love to gulp the alkali of
Texas would go all right in an illus
trated song, wouldn't it?
How yearn to romp on the mos
quito grass of old New Mexico! ought
to be a fetching line to ram into one
of them, too.
"Or; Many years have passed since
I've broken my old last on the tooth
some ella snakes of Arizona Why
couldn't some duck give the southwest
a loolk-in by writing one something
after that order?
THE west in general gets it in the
neck at the hands of these illu strated
song spielers, anyway What's the
matter with "A bath I'd like to take,
in the mighty saline lake, that lies
within the borders of old Utah.
There are lot of near lying states,
too, that haven't been so much as
scratched by the illustrated song
writer's. If only had a pick, I'd like
to take lick, at the anthracite depos-
Its of Penn-syl-van-ia'-w it be
the proper kink to give the keystone
state a butt-in something after that
fashion?

been overlooked. I've wandered far

Isn't the middle west good enough
to work up wooze? L haven't sine,

ton in these ballads, geographical or
otherwise. The Illustrated song sing
sters ought to have EN- on their
strings for each state and territory in
the Union, and squirt 'em out as tn
follow the circuit. There's a-plenty of
poetry all over this country, outside CT
the few states that have been nffe1
into songs by the balladists, and it's
raw material that ought to be used IN.

oEATH or WIN. MEHLE.
Caused by Accident or Suicide While
Under influence Of Drink.

AS stated in brief note in our last
issue, VIM Mehle, the German tailor
dropped out very suddenly about
noon of that day either by accident or
suicide. He lived in the southeast
part of town but had his shop In an.
other residence he owned between the
Commercial Savings Bank and the
High School building. But that
morning the shop had been moved
back TO the house. When Mrs Mehle
returned to the house q short time
after her husband she found his life
less body against the bedroom door
with the muller about his neck fast to
the door knob. She quickly called
the neighbors who telephoned for the
sheriff and coroner who went TO the
house at once. w. Burnside, j. M.
McKarahan and j. b. Morrissey were
empanelled as jury, whose verdict
was that Mr.. Mehle came TO his death
either by accident or by his own hand,
| while In an intoxicated condition.
| We understand he was all right when
sober, but had been drinking pretty
hard for some time with the result
| above stated A wife, son and thret
daughters are left TO grieve over his
untimely end. The funeral service:
we're conducted Friday afternoon by
Rev. G. D. Wendell OF the Evangeli
cal church.

a Golden Wedding.

James Lang and daughter and his
sister Mrs. Christensen have returned
from Farwell, Nebraska, where they
attended the golden wedding anniver-
sary of their parents. The Journal
of that place in giving lengthy ac-
count says: Mr.. and Mrs. J. N.
Lang we're married in Denmark fifty
years ago and came to this country ir
1879. They have raised family of
FIVE boys and two girls who are the
pride of their aged parents. He is 10
and she "a. II one is seen enroute TO
the store or neighbors the other is
always along.
Thus they have marched hand in
hand along life's rugged pathway for
half century. Could each couple
who launch their craft upon the mat
rimonial sea, be as happy and con-
tented as this aged couple has been
during their married life, our divorce
courts would be but cipher in the
figures of the law. The services were
held in the church with O large at
tendance and they we're the recipients
of many valuable presents.

Trip Postnoned.

The trip planned for April Sd, to
go to the Saskatchewan country in
Canada is postponed until later.
Owing to the cold and snowy weather
that has prevailed in the north dur
ing March we thought it advisable to
put the trip off for q couple of weeks.
Wehave consulted with several that
were going and this meets their APP
proval. This will give better oppor-
tunity to see the country and run no
risk Of finding snow. Due notice will
be given later when to start.

OR. HARRIS OF AupusoN
Only Survivor of the Morgan Walker
Raid made Before the war

'ha'a haAN SV'ofN tttt WN
A special from Audubon to the
Register and Leader of Sunday con-
tains the following about one of our
we'll known citizens and former may
or OF the town: DR.. Ransom L.
Harris OF Audubon bears the distinc-
zion of being the only survivor of the
famous Morgan Walker raid by a
little band of Iowans. And which was
one of the most noted events of the
ante-bellum days In Iowa. Mr.. Harris
is familiar with much of the history OF
the times and narrates some interesting
tales of the efforts made to free the
slaves, and of the duplicity OF Guam
trell, whose infamy almost cost him
his life.
Springdale, Cedar county village,
was an early home Of the anti -slavery
agitation. Most of its inhabitants had
emigrated from Columbiana county,
Ohio, but few families came from
New England-all were very hostile &c
TO slavery. It became an under
ground railway station for escaping
| slaves. Here, too, later John Brown
had his drill ground and a supply de
| pot.
During the agitation in Kansas, many
people from.the little Iowa community
moved TO that state. Among others
was Mr.. Harris, then lad of l6 years
With others from Iowa he organized
an "antislavery blue lodge" which
had rs its purpose the liberating o
| slaves in Missouri. Among the mem
bers was William G. Quantrell, thel
going under the name OF Charles
Heart. The members of the lodg,
planned raid on the plantation o
Morgan Walker, very wealth,
slave owner, across the river in Miss
ouri near Blue Spings.
AS soon as the plans were full,
made Quantrell visited Morgan
Walker and informed him of the pro
posed raid. Trusting in Quantrell
the little band made their way TO tn
Mo ryan Walker plantation and al
lost their lives with the exception o.
DR.. Harris who by chance escaped.
After the betrayal Quantrell organ
lied his famous bands of guerrilla
and became a terror OF the border.

week. And mud! Not as deep as 1t
gets sometimes but as thick as mortar
and sticky as tar.

The lecture by William HawIey
Smith on Wednesday evening was
patronized and appreciated by good
audience. Mr.. Smith began by say
ing that ever since he had the grippe
his legs have not been in good con-
dition, so he begged leave to sit on
the piano stool during most of the
time he was speaking. He spoke of his
lonely life which consists of riding on
the cars, eating, sleeping, and speak
ing, having the same routine day
after day and month after month.
But he always had with him some OF
his best friends and boon companions
in the way Of books, pleasure OF
which no time nor place nor circum-
stance conld deprive him. Most of the
evening was spent in reciting the
poems of James Whitcomb Riley and
a miscellaneous collection which he
has gathered from the newspapers. His
impersonation Of the elocutionist and
the choir were probably the most
amusing and best rendered parts OF
the program. Mr.. Smith is always en-.
tertaining and he leaves q pleasant
recollection if nothing more.

Watts at her studio in the Watts

tations had been sent out to about a
hundred of her friends, most of whom
showed their appreciation by their
presence. The rooms were nicely
decorated by use of potted plants.
The exhibit of painting both water
color and china was attractive and
beautiful, showing not only the work
of Mrs. Watts, but much that was
done by some Of her pupils. Mrs.
Watts was assisted in the studio by
Mrs. John Weighton. Mrs. John
Ward and Mrs. Chas. S. MeLeran
presided at the table and poured the
tea, the refreshments being served to
the guests by a number OF young
