Miller Herd of performing elephants;
and the Darktown circus with trick

bunch Of features engaged for the
week will be made daily program
of unrivaled entertainment.
Not least among the features for
entertainment will be the Knaben

Des Moines, encircling the state

Washington monument, and which
won honors at st. Louis and Port

All these amusement features are
strictly incidental to the fair proper

ment believes In giving the people
the very best that money can buy in
the way of clean high class enter
tainment.

THE PARLoR.
lt I. Rapidly becoming an Apartment

of the Past.
The American parlor is thing of the
past, according to architects, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. No more will
there be room reserved for state &C.
casions, such as the receiving of form
al calls, the visit of the minister and
for weddings and for funerals.
1--WE never take the parlor into con-
sideration any more" said Cleveland
architect recently "The parlor is
merged into the living room. The good
old fashioned parlor, which was held
in so much reverence in the old days,
has no place In modern architecture.
"rhe demand is for large living
room in small house, together with
dining room ana kitchen. In larger
house there Is usually n large living
room, library. 'den.' dining room and
kitchen.
II had client yesterday who desired
to have reception room or parlor not
connected with the living room. He
decided later to have n sort of recep-
ton room in connection with the hall
way.
when the parlor idea began to lose
ground we did not make radical
change, but reduced the parlor to a
small reception room. isolated from the
others, where formal calls could be re-
ceived. Now we make no provision
for the parlor.
I'm these days the reception rooms
do not have to be closed only to be
opened on the occasion of the visit of
the family minister or the physician"
There may be many who will regret
the passing of the old fashioned coun-
try parlor, with ali its memories of Wis
itors, courtshlp and occasions which
left Impressions which have not been
eradicated by the strenuous age of to-
day

Patrick McMeeI.

Patrick McMeel, one of the best
known Of the early settlers of this
county, died Wednesday, August s,
1906, at the home Of his son, DR.. e.
q. McMeel of Delmar, Iowa.
The deceased was for many years
one of the best known and most in
auential men of this county.
He enjoyed a very large ac-
quaintance and no man was more
popular or exerted more influence
with his friends than he.
He was prominent figure in the
county seat struggle preceding its
removal to Manchester, and it is
slid that he had a larger personal
following during that controversy
Than any other man.
The deceased was born in county
Monahan, Ireland. in 1880. At the
age of twenty-five he came to this
country and located in New York
City where he worked at the black
smith trade for the following three
years. During his residence there
he met and married Eliza Jane Carr.
In 1853 they came west and located
at Delhi. When the county seat
was moved from that place to Man.
chester, he became a resident Of this
place and remained here three years.
He then moved onto his farm in
Prairie township and lived there
about fifteen years. He retired from
farming and after short residence
at Coggon, went to live with his son,
DIR. L. G. McMeel, of Delmar, at
whose home he died.
There were eight children born to
Mr.. and Mrs. McMeel. One son
died in infancy. Mrs. McMeel died
in 1888. The surviving children

Another Good Man Gone Wrong.

He neglected to take Foley's Kid
ney Cure at the first signs of kidney
trouble, hoping it would wear away,
and he was soon victim of Bright's
disease. There is danger in delay,
but if Foley's Kidney Cure is taken
at once the symptoms will disappear,
the kidneys are strengthened and
you are soon sound and well. A. R.
Bass of Morgantown, Ind, had to
get up ten or twelve times in the
night, and had severe backache

Robert E. Dunlap.

Robert Ellsworth Dunlap, was
born in Hazel Green township on
March 9th, 1865, and departed this
life on August 9TH, 1906, at 1880 a.
m. aged Al years, four months and
~ days.
He was the fourth child Of James
B. Dunlap and Clara NJ. Comstock.
Mr.. Dunlap received his education
at Lenox College, Hopkinton, Iowa,
and Valparaiso, Ind, and after
leaving school he engaged in farm
ing and carpentry, making these his
vocation except for two years when
he engaged in the livery business
in Coggon.
He was married on February 20,
1888, at Manchester to Emily G.
Miller, and took up his residence on
the home farm. Two years he spent
in Coggon, Iowa, and in the spring
of 1893 he moved with his wife and
two children to Hay Spring, Neb.,
where eleven years of a very busy
life were spent. Failure of health
caused him in 1904, to seek a change
of climate, mi under medical adj
vice he returned to Iowa and went
to live again on his own place where
he began his married life. I'm
fortunately, the change did not pro-
duce the desired effect, and in spite
of a heroic attempt to regain his
health, a gradual change for the
worse took place. Ten months ago
he went to the hospital in Dubuque
for treatment, and on his return it
was thought that short GONZALES
ence would restore him to compare
tive health and strength once more.
Such hopes have been shattered
however, and on the 18th OF July he
went to bed feeling very much worn
ont, and from the last attack he did
not thoroughly rally, but on the
morning OF August 9th hepassed in
to the other world, in the full
christian faith and resting in Jesus,
for his eternal safety.
OF the life he lived, we need not
repeat the good qualities of the man
in order to make them known.
Honorable, kind hearted, just, unim-
peachable integrity, ever leaning to-
wards the good and noble. A low
ing husband and kind and devoted
father he leaves to his family q rich
heritage. As citizen, while not
seeking prominence, he served his
country well; in politics an earnest
republican, taking an intelligent in
terest in the work of the party. AS
a school director, he displayed his
interest in the cause Of education,
serving as such for at least ten years.
In church life he took interest, al
though he never formally enrolled
himself as member. He helped to
build the church at Hay Springs,
Neb., and his last public work poss-
IDLY, was done on committee hay
