Obituary-CIubb.

Oliver Edmund Club was born
in Lancaster, Wis, February, IA.
1868. His boyhood and life up to
ten years ago was spent on the
Club homestead near Lancaster
where he was engaged in farming
and cattle raising. About ten years
ago he left Lancaster for North
Dakota where he went into the
cattle business later branching out
into the real estate business. The
last few years of his life were spent
on farm near South St. Paul.
Minnesota, where he was in the
cattle and real estate business.
While living in Wisconsin he was
known as one of our successful
farmers and in his later residence
IN the northwest he enjoyed the
same reputation.
Mr.. Club was married to Miss
Lillian Walker, March, q. 1899.
Besides the wife he leaves three.
children, the eldest five years old,
His death came as the result of
being overcome by tie heat. At
the time he was recovering from an
accident sustained a few weeks
before on his farm. After being
overcome he lost all power of
/ speech but remained conscious. He
was taken to St. Lukes hospital
ST. Paul, where everything that
could be done was done but to no
avail. Death came to him July
8th due TO brain fever and spinal
meningitis brought on by the sun
stroke. Throughout the weeks
struggle with death he was sur
rounded by relatives and friends.
When death grew near, though life
and the possibilities Of the future
were SO bright for him he willingly
submitted to Gods will
His remains were brought to
Lancaster for burial ACCOMPANIED
by his wife, little daughter and his
sister Louisa. Funeral services
were held at the home Of Mr.. Ed
ward King conducted by Rev. Nor
gans and he was buried in the
family lot at Hillside cemetery.
A very good man has thus passed
away. Oliver Club had the high
est sense Of honor to be found in
man. In his home he was a k11d
and indulgent husband and father.
A true and generous friend to those
he deemed worthy he counted no
sacrifice on his part too great for
the promotion of the welfare of his
family and friends. In this COM
munity where he so long lived and
where he was so we'll known no
words are strong enough to convey
the high regard every one had for
HIM. We can only regret that a
life that promised so much in sterl-
ing manhood should be cut short
for the world cannot we'll spare
such men. His life although short
was well lived and the influence of
such life will long be felt.

Probably there are a few of our
readers who are not aware of the
fact that five barbed wires do not
constitute lawful fence in Wiscon-

legislature so that barbed wires can
now be used only at the top. The
bottom of the fence must consist Of
either woven wire or boards. A

Stories of the Week.

Carson Whitmore and Earl Ivey
entertain their friends with accounts
of their recent trip to the Dakotas.
While they were out there they
state that a cyclone swept over a
portion of the territory they we're
in, and relations are being strained
between them as to which can tell
the biggest yarn about it. They
state that on one Of the shores of a
lake there was a trunk packed with
clothing and gas stove oven con-
tanning dripping pan. Both were
closed when the storm struck. When
picked up the oven was empty and
the dripping pan was found in the
trunk. A basket of eggs was
carried fifty feet and only two were
cracked.
In the north west part of town a
barn was completely demolished
and wire clothesline stripped from
the poles, when the wind abated
the family horse was found p1Cketed
in the back lot with the clothesline.
A young man out in the storm
had ring on the third finger Of his
left hand. When he reached home
the ring was on the first finger Of
his right hand.
One citizen did not realize his
house had been moved until he
started to go down celler for a
tottle of beer. He lighted a lantern
and after diligent search located a
portion Of the cellar, but-that's
all. A neighbor can give no ex-
PLANTATION of how the beer got into
his shed.
The Methodist church barely es-
capped destruction by ducking into
the (puD pit.
Some idea Of the severity of the
gale can be imagined when it is
known a number of women were
rendered speeches.. They all
caught their breath again and with
the abundance of material at hand
lost no time in catching up.
One citizen lost his undershi rt
without having any of the re-
mainder of his raiment disturbed.
According to the young men the
wind came from all points of the
compass, straight and on the bias.
The veracity of the drug clerk
and his companion cannot be
doubled.

SUNDAY SERMON

How few people there are who
know how to pray. While it is
doubtless true that the sincere de-
sires Of men are recognized and
Observation-Disclosures may be the
crudities of their speech or the
paucity of their ideas as to true and
acceptable worship-it is the duty
OF every intelligent person to avoid
rushing into the invisible presence
as an unthinking borse rushes into
battle. The disciples Of Jesus Christ
were conscious of their inability to
pray Alright and they came to the
master with their petition: Lord
teach us to pray" In answer to
that request the Lords prayer was
given as a pattern and model of
what true prayer should be. There
are some who think that the Lords
prayer is an easy prayer We teach
1t to our children and infant voices
lisp it with the first accents of
speech. It is recited in all our
churches and great congregations
roll it forth in unanimous accord.
1t is by all men recognized as the
most perfect petition that mortal
lips can utter. But its repetition is
largely parrot like uttrence
having no meaning to vast masses
Of people. If people came to it
sincerely DESTROYS of realizing it's
meaning they would be stopped at
the first sentence.
~
See how it begins: The first
word puts up wall high as heaven
for some people. 1t is not my
Father. 1t is our Father. If God
is our Father-yours and mine and
all men's-then we are blood reIa-
tions to every human being on
earth-brothers-every man of us
created by the same Almighty One.
The slant-eyed, the wooly-headed,
the fat-skulled, the naked, the
cannibalistic, the ploygamous, the
undeveloped, the vile. That first
word of the Lords praper hurls a
bombshell into the ranks Of the ex-
elusive ones of earth who believes
that somehow their blood is diff
ferent from that which runs in
ordinary veins. Centuries Of culture
and refinement have done much for
some men. They have sailed in a
current which has borne them
steadily out into the boundless sea
of privilege while their less fortu-
nate brethren are cropping in CHM
merriam darkness-darkness that can
be felt-reaching out after some
thing they know not what.
~
Difference in condition and educa.
ton and appreciation and every
thing that goes to make life worth
living but no difference in the fact
that all mankind are the children Of
our Father. Our Father Try to
say that We men and women who
despise your fellow men. Attempt
TO repeat it We who hate the China
man and the Russian and the Jew

and the red Indian and the black
man. Make an effort to utter it We
who have enemies whom We cast
out of your fellowship and consign
to eternal destruction and see how
far you will get. Easy! The first
word would choke many a man if
he stopped to think of it. In that
one word is bound up all friend
ships and all loves and all commun-
ions. 1t enwGGps all humanitarian
efforts and all societies for the pre-
vention of cruelty to children, to
workmen to slaves. In it are all
reforms, all missionary efforts, all
schools and colleges, all emancipa-
tions. IF people waited till they
could really and from their hearts
say our Father multi udes would
never pray again.
-
But what is the use of trying to
pray at all if you do not mean it?
You might as we'll get a prayer
wheel that will run by machinery
and set it going and go off and leave
it as to humble over a lot of petit
tons to an unknown God that
meant nothing to you or Him or
anybody elso. So say prayers is
one thing Ito pray is quite another
You. could teach a parrot to say
prayers but you could never teach
him to pray. 1t used to be the
custom Of the pirates and br1gands,
Of the mountains to piously attend
church and get clean bill Of health
{ before going out to cut the threats
Of their enemies. A man who really
means it when he says our Father is
bound to treat his brother man as
he would like to be treated himself.
This is the most revolutionary
prayer in the world. 1t is boom
erang in the hands of the I'M
righteous to smite them into the
dust.
-
A poor tramp called at dea cons
door one day and asked for food.
He was as hungry as the prodigal
son but not as penitent. Combin-
ing religious instruction with charity
the deacon paused after beginning
to cut the loaf of bread and said;
you can have this if you will re-
peat the Lords prayer" ''All right
said the tramp-what is it," And
the deacon began with our Father.
rs that what it says-said the
tramp-is he your father and mine"
The deacon saw the tramp had him
! but bravely admitted the fact and
the tramp continued. In that case
you and I are brothers" There was
no getting around it and the deacon
agreed to the. relationship. '"rhen
said the tramp-if that is all true
hadn't you better cut that bread a
little thicker?" He got his prayer
answered right here. Oh yes this
prayer is a most practical and demo
cratic and all inclusive petition.
How many can really utter the first
! two words?
