If could have just what want,

Where bill collectors never como
And pay day never goes.
I'd have the hours of labor short
And those Of resting long,
And weak the powers of dismal dole
And those of pleasure strong
wouldn't care a cent for care
Nor worry for a minute,
For If had just what I want
Care never would be in it.

A Good rlan Is Laid To Rest

The funeral of the late J. A. Con-
erd, postmaster at Atlantic who died
and was buried on Thursday of last
week, was one of the largest attend
ed ever held in the city. He was
loved and respected by the entire
community and they showed their
appreciation of his kindness and
generous spirit in life by paying
him respect in death. The services
were held from the house this after
noon, conducted by Revs. George
and Shenton; the business houses
of the City closed from three to four
o'clock and nearly all the merchants
attended the funeral; the Modern
Woodmen of America, Knights of
Pythias, Royal Neighbors and Yeo-
men Lodges were all in attendance
at the funeral, aud The Elks con-
Quoted services at the grave. The
following tribute, written by mem.
bers of one of the lodges to which
he belonged, is heartily seconded
by the entire community: The
saddest, and at once the tenderest
and the sweetest duty which falls
to mortals to perform, is to say the
last farewell to one whom we have
loved and whom we have called our
friend. To stand beside the scar
made by the spade upon the bosom
of our Mother Earth, and know that
the silent form of him whom we
have known and loved will be en-
tombed therein; and that never
while we live shall we hear his cher
ry voice again nor yet behold his
dear familiar face, file our heart
with sadness aud brings the tear
which dims our eyes; but to have
the privilege of testifying by our
presence and our grief that we hon
or him in death, as we loved in life,
fills our heart with tenderness
which soothes and comforts and ia
sweetness in itselt. Many things
will be said of him that are good;
praises will berepeated, and kindly
acts remembered, but of them all
the greatest will be this, He was
one who loved his fellow man."

"A party, composed of ]. P. Lair,

On entering the train we found

were some additions to our party
which were not very agreeable to US,

that men who have escaped the

Two San Francisco Refugees

Last Monday afternoon while
coming up from Brayton on the
train we got onto" an interesting
item; but hold on, we'll telk.you
about it: When the train drew up
at the Extra depot there alighted
man and woman who seemed at
loss just what to do so we, always
having our weather eye" peeled
for news item, stepped up to the
gentleman, accosted him, wanted to
know if they were strangers IN the

gentleman could get his breath he
informed US that his name was w.
G. McIlrath; that his wife's father
was Mr.. A. Andersen; that he lived
about six miles in the country west
of town; that his wife's name was
Miss Kathryn Andersen when she
was girl, and that for some time
a few years ago she had resided at
Elk Horn with her relative, Mr.. A.
L. Boysen. By that time the lady
came out of the depot where che
had been looking after some of their
baggage and they began counseling
as to what was best to do when we

To Rebuild School Houses

State Superintendent Riggs has
sent out circulars to all the county
superintendent of the state asking
their cooperation and assistance
in the plan originated OF having
the school children of the country
rebuild the school houses OF San
Francisco. Forty-four buildings
were destroyed by the earthquake
and fire and it is proposed that Iowa
school children take the task of re-

doubt promptly respond to the re-
quest and do their part toward the
building to be erected by the Iowa
pupils.

In this weeks issue we announce
the dissolution of partnership
between Nels Hansen and w. M.
Cunningham. This change means,
we are grieved to say, that Will has
concluded to leave Extra. The death
of his father a short time ago left
his mother alone in charge of an a
mount of business too great for one
80 aged to carry and this with the
fact that she does not like to leave
the place that has for 80 long been
home to her has made it necessary
for Will to join her where he can be
by her side during these dark
hours and take the burden of the
business management from her
shoulders. We say we are grieved
to see Will leave our town but
this does not express our regret.
For many years we have chummed
and cronied with him and among
our friends we number him one Of
the nearest and best. Since the ad-
vent of himself and Mr.. Hansen
into the business circles of Extra
they have done remarkable bust
ness. With business tact and hustle
they built up patronage and a
friendship of their customers that
has been both profitable and pleas.

Was A Pleasing Recital

A recital was given by the pupils
of Miss Marea Emig at the Congre-
gational church on Wednesday
evening June 6, 1906, and was one
of the pleasantest entertainment
features Extra people have been
privileged to enjoy for some time.
Every number showed great care
and splendid training the pupils
receive in their instruction and was
rendered with an ease and finish
that delighted the hearers and
proved the efficiencyof experienced
and capable instruction. Miss
Emig, whose thorough musical ed
ucation has been obtained from the
very best institutions-Drake Con-
servatory of Music, at Des Moines,
Professor Liebling's Conservatory,
at Chicago, and at other places
while making the work interesting
to her pupils, at the same time
brings out those important features
such as are taught 10y the musical
masters but which are 80 often
slig hted or merely touched upon by
the more crude and inexperienced
teacher. The recital, Wednesday
evening showed plainly that every
one under her instruction is receive
ing a knowledge of the art very
seldom obtained in town 80 small.
Below we give the program as rem
dered; and it is no use to take up
the numbers individually as they
we're all the very best and repeti-
ton could make it no better. Aside
from those mentioned in the pro-
gram Geraldine Rendleman, Moselle
Milliman and Ethel Hensley assist
ed in the choruses. Both teacher
and pupils acquitted themselves
nobly and the entire audience,
which completely flied the church,
considered it one of the finest enter
tainments of the season. The work
of Marea Emig will live for ages in
Extra and her efforts will be remem-
bered with gratitude and apprecia-
ton by her pupils and their parents
for all time to come.
