His Fiftieth Birthday

On the twelfth day of June, just
nall century ago, away over in
Germany William Thielen, by the
natural course of events came into
existence. Born from the bone and
sinew of that great country, he low
ed his birthright; his home; and
his dear Fatherlaud." His meager
and frugal ways of living cast no
reelection on him but early in life
he learned to know there were 9TH
er countries than the one that then
seemed most dear, where people
dared to say that their 4" Liberties
they priced and their rights they
would maintain" When quite
young William came over to Amer
lea and possessing will to work
and imbued with spirit of thrift
he eventually purchased land in
the Valley of the Nishna, and from
it's rich and fertile soil has laid up
riches. This being with him the
/" Passing of the 'Rubicon from
whence there is no retreat he con-
sidered it most fitting occasion to
calm his numerous neighbors and
friends and spend a social hour.
They who desired to do him hon.
age commenced to assemble for
dinner on the twelfth and many re-
NAMED till the evening of the thir-
teenth. OF this worlds good things
Mrs. Thielen had prepared large
supply and it was thoughtful of her
to do so for the crowd was being
augmented to such an extent that
no ordinary larder could supply
the demand upon it. 1t is simply
wonderful what hankering the
American stomach has for perisha.
BILE goods on such an occasion like
this and, whether from former occa-
sions or from an instictive pre-
sumption, great quantity would
be needed, the preparation was
made and for twenty four hours all
who came were made happy, and
some no doubt thrice happy. Mr..
William Thielen will never again
see his fftieth birthday but he
made the occasion so CONSPICUOUS
with it's good things that every
body wished that he would live to
a good old age, and be permitted
to enjoy his hard earnings; that his
health would permit him to contin-
tie to partake of the blessings and
pleasures that he has provided for
those around him. The good-byes
were were from hundreds of kind
neighbors who met to greet him
and wished him many days in the
land
GRATITUDE
To all our friends and neiphbors
who 80 kindly came in to enjoy
social hour on this, the fiftieth an
niversary of my birth, in gratitude
extend the hand Of true friendship.
For the many valuable presents
you surprised me with feel deep
er feeling of thankfulness than
words can express. My wife and
family extend with me most cor
dial and sincere thanks.

MRS. WILLIAM THIELEN,

Messrs. ]. p. Lair, II. F. Andrews,
Samuel d. Harm and William Bint-
ner are home from the Grand Army
Encampment up at Boone and are
loud in praise of the treatment they
received at the hands of the people
of that city. While there Hon.
II. F. Andrews had bit of honor
thrust upon him by being elected
member of the State Council of
Administration. A fight was made
to elect a gentleman from Avoca as
Department Commander of Iowa
and he got every vote in the Ninth
Iowa Congressional District which
80 pleased him that he declared
that he would rather have such
splendid endorsement at the hands
of his neighbors than to be elected
Commander. Mr.. Lair had yery
happy meeting while up there. He
has been resident of Iowa for
thirty-six years and in all these
years and at all the Grand Army
meetings he had attended, he
never before met man who be-
longed to the same regiment as
did he. While in Boone, he was
looking over the register when his
eagle eve caught sight of the name
j. o. Wickersham, Company GA"
one hundred and twenty. second
Illinois Infantry, residence Harlan,
Iowa. Knowing this to be the
number of his regiment, he at once
began systematic search for Mr..
Wickersham. He went to the place
where he was stopping but the
man was not there; he left his
name and address with the lady of
the house and the next morning he
was rewarded by meeting one of
his companions in arms. Now if
you can imagine what two old
cronies" who had not met for
forty.one years would have to talk
about, you can get faint glimpse
they were together and when they
did part it was with firm determin.
alton to meet again before many
moons.

solo for the audience, and in the
absence of the church organist Off
