]. c. HANSEN AT REST
"A Much Beloved Resident Of 0akfie1d
Township Passes Away After
a Very Severe illness

Mr.. Jens Hansen, prominent and
universally respected farmer who re-
sided four miles southeast from
Elk Horn, and who had been great
sufferer from an incurable disease of
the throat, passed to the great beyond
at his fine country home on Sunday,
September %, 1906. Mr.. Hansen had
amassed a large amount of this worlds
goods, being the possessor of more
than one thousand acres of rich farm
land besides much other chattles and
was just planning to pass the rest of
his earthly life free from hsrd labor
but alas for human hopes about this
time he was attacked by disease
which gradually grew worse as the
days went by and although every
thing was done for him that human
skill and loving hands could do it
was to no avail; his sufferipgs in
creased and the last few days were
very severe but he bore them all I'M
complainingly, having placed his
trust in Him in who doeth all things
well; and when the good man felt
that his earthly race was we'll nigh
RIM he called his sorrowing wife, his
daughter and son, together with all
his other relatives; to his bedside and
told them not to lament his demise,
that it was given man but once to die
and that he would meet them in the
land beyond the shores of time, across
the dark river of death; so with q
farewell smile upon his lips his spirit
winged its flight TO the realms of the
blest. Funeral services were held on
Tuesday afternoon, conducted by his
pastor Rev. Jersild; more than one
hundred teams following the hearse
from the country residence to the
church, in Elk Horn, where the SER
vices were held and where the body
was laid away in tomb nearby, and
was attended by large concourse of
people who had come to pay last
tribute of respect to their friend and
minglea tear with those of his be-
reaved family and to gsze upon the
face of the dead before it was hid
from mortal view by silent clods of
the valley. Death seems sad to us at
any time but when good man right
in the prime of life is taken away,
Mr.. Hansen being but fifty-two years
of age when he died; seem doubly
so to US; but then when the final
summons comes even monarchs must
obey, and all we can do is to submit
to the inevitable.

TROUBLE OVER LAND TRADE.
State Fair Board Wants to Exchange
Coal Land for Level Ground.

State Fair Board Wants to Exchange
Coal Land for Level Ground.
Des Moines, Sept. 20.-Two fights
developed before the executive coun-
Gil. One was over the trading of
lot of the state fair grounds back in
the hills for land down on the level
that is suitable for the fair and the
other over the draining Of Gin Barrel
slough and South lake up in the
northern part of the state, against
which the duck hunters protest. The
directors have arranged trade for
land between the Rock Island tracks
and the state fair grounds. For this
they proposed to give thirty-nine
acres belonging to the state fair
grounds, but never used for any pur-
pose. 1t is back of the present
grounds, and SO rough that it is of no
value whatever except the coal that
is under it. The deal is being opposed
by some who assert that the state
should use the land for botanical gar
dens and that the coal under it makes
it of greater value than that the state
Is getting.

DON'T SHOW OFF THE BABY
Shield the Little One From Excite
ment and Fatigue.

ment and Fatigue.
Too great emphasis cannot be laid
on this matter of shielding the baby
from excitement. Undoubtedly the
temptation to show him off is very
great-he is such cunning little dear,
and he has such pretty tricks. But de-
eide now. Is it your desire to crafty
your pride or promote your baby's well
fare? 1t is a great mistake to handle
an infant any more than necessary, not
only on the score of his nerves, but
on that Of his bones. Baby's bones,
you know, are soft; thus constant ham
ding tends to destroy the shapeliness
Of his body. The greater part of his
early life should be spent on the bed.
When he gets tired Of lying in one po-
sition gently roll him over without
picking him up. When it is strictly
necessary to lift him, there Is only one
way to do SO without subjecting any
part Of his body to pressure or strain
that may endanger delicate organ
With your right hand grasp his cloth
Ing just below his feet and then spread
out your left hand and extend it along
his spine until your palm is supporting
his back and your three middle fingers
his neck and head. In this way baby's
clothing is made to form hammock
in which he comfortably lies.-Outing

WHO KNOWS HIM !?
A Danish American Tumbles Over
Dead In The Streets of RanderS,
Denmark, This Morning

On Sunday morning, September 2,
1906, when the express arrived in
Randers at about six o'clock two
men walked out of the depot and
through the depot street, one of them
carrying a satchel in each hand, and
when in front of the gas works he
gave a loud sound, threw up his
hands and fell over; the people con-
gregated but the man lay as if dead.
He was picked up, carried into the
office of the gas works and Doctors
Jacobsen and Vogelsang were called
by telephone but they pronounced
the man dead, the cause being either
apoplxey or heart failure. The man
with him taid he met him at Aarhus
and had promised to take him through
the city of Bankers to Hodsund Rail-
way, where he was going himself;
because the man was not sure he
could find his way through the town
by himself. The police were called
who inquired into the details OF the
mans death and they then took the
body out to the cemetery vault where
his papers and extra clothing were
taken care of by the officers. His
garments were marked Nels j. Boose
which, according to his memorandum
book, evinced that he was member
of the old Danish name Bus, and a
descendant of that family. His ap-
pearance was good and be was sup
posed to be in the fifties; gray mus
tache; wore good clothes, and his un-
derclothing was of the very best; his
hands showed that he was used to
manual labor. In his pockets
was found one hundred and seventy
five crowns in Danish and American
money; then too he had about him
several duplicates of checks from
several hundred up to couple of
thousand crowns; besides in his pock-
ct book was found several addresses;
