WlCn0ut q moment OF warning
Gilbert w. Collins, of Miller, passed
to the great beyond last Wednesday
evening while sitting beside his son
John in buggy coming home from
the farm in Glendale twp He was
apparently in good health, and a
strong, vigorous man.
He slid down from the seat, out
of the buggy, and almost before the
son realized, his father was dead. AS
he was a large man the son had to
secure assistance to get the body
back into the buggy. He was
brought to his home in Miller, and
on Friday large concourse of peo-
pie gathered at the Presbyterian
church where funeral services were
conducted by the pastor, Rev CRUDE.
Interment in the G. A. K. cemetery.
Gilbert w. Collins was born in Au-
burn, New York Feby. 26. 1848, and
came to Iowa quite young with his
parents. He was married to Miss
Sarah Jane Scott at Adel, Iowa,
Sept. End, 1870, and came to Hand
county in 1882. Ten children were
born to them. The widow and eight
children survive. They are all resi-
dents of Hand county: William L.,
Otho Henry, John Fedrerick, Mrs
Mary L. Miller, Benjamin Harrison,
Loren LorenZa, Wallace Walter,
Thomas Leroy. Jessie and Cecil
Scott, children of Mrs Collins broth
er, were also raised in the Collins
family.
Mr. Collins was a man of mental
and physical force-welI known over
the county, a leader of men, and he
has place as history maker upon
the records of Hand county. He
settled in Glendale twp, with the
pioneers, and gradually accumulated
farm of some 2400 acres, where he
raised great quantities of grain and
fed large herds of cattle. He also
owned fine home on east Third st.
He was veteran of the civil war,
and he represented the county for
six years upon the board of county
commissioners, with distinguished
ability.
He was man of affairs, in city
and county, where he will be great
ly missed But more than all else
was he family man, beloved and
looked to for guidance by every
member of his family, to whom the
community extends sincere sympa-
thy in their great loss.
CARD OF THANKS We extend
thanks to friends and neighbors for
their kind assistance and sympathy
during the burial of our loved hus-
band and father,
Mrs g. w. Collins
and family.

jackson Club Lecture Course

Four attractions have been seeur-

person interested in the welfare of
the youth of our land can afford to
miss hearing Judge Lindsey.
The third number, Jan. II. will be
furnished by Adrian M. NeyVens, an
interpreter of the best in liter;.tur
who comes with fourteen years ex-
on the platform. Those
who have heard him are loud in his
praise.
The fourth number, Mar. "a, is
the Whitney Bros. Quartet. As this
quartet has appeared in Miller, and
pleased all who heard them, it is safe
to say they will be accorded royal
welcome.

Hand county went to the state
fair last week at Huron, with exhib-
its, race horses, and about 1000
people, and received fair share of
the honors.
The experience gained this year
should induce more general county

year. Hand county should never
miss the advantage of showing the
state what she can do.

the central point of a vast crowd
stretching each way around the
! track.
There were bands galore, speciality
artists, musicians, athletes, contor-
tionists, wire walkers, etc, to help
entertain the throng all received
with smiles of Indifference. Loud
cries announced Indian war dances
and not a soul -moXed~to see them;
the Governor made a beautiful
speech because it lasted only three
minutes; the merry -go-round was as
silent as the gum shoe compaigner
because 5000 people were ready for
the horse race. Why? We don't
know Primeval man was built
that way and his sons and daught-
ers have never mastered the desire.
Dan Patch day brings out from co.
600 to 100, 900 people at the Mime
sofa state fair and Dan Patch is
only pacing horse with worlds
record. But when the cry goes up
they re off, F" men and women clasp
hands and electrical currents of JOY
transform eyes and face; the maiden
forgets to primp her hair; and the
baby's "da, da" has no charms for
"the Newlyweds."
The Races
The races of interest to this local
ity occurred on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday. The bay PAGER Coronet,
owned by |. j. Cree, of Miller won
second in the 2:l8 class Wednesday.
He also went in the free for all pace
Thursday, but acted badly and did
not get place. He evidently had
more speed than the whole bunch, if
he had worked right.
On Thursday, the gamey little
black horse Mark Hanna, of High
more, won first in a big field of 2:35
PAGERS. He won the first heat in
2:22I, lost the second heat in the
same time, and won the third and
fourth in a second or two slower
time, to the great pleasure of a large
crowd of admirers from both High
more and Miller. Dolly Mix had en-
tered for the race, and large dele
cation from Miller went down, but
she was withdrawn because of a pro-
test against both her and Hanna, in
this class, on account of their tie
heat at Highmore in 2:27l.
On FridayDolly Mix won second
in the 2:25 pace in a great race.
Five horses started, but Dolly's only
competitor was Pointer, a seasoned
campaigner from Sioux Falls. Dol
ly won the first two heats in 2:214
each. On the third heat send-off
driver Corcoran held his horse in the
score, depending on the starters pro-
lection to the pole horse. Pointer
came on with a full burst Of speed
as they passed the judges stand, and
the starter sent them off. This
speed advantage, always jockeyed
for by drivers, gave Pointer the poll.
A beautiful race was the result.
On the last turn Pointer entered the
home stretch with length to the
good. Driver Corcoran started for
him and both horses finished under
whip with Pointer winner be head.
Thirty feet beyond the wire Dolly's
nose was ahead of Pointer, but it
was too late. The time of this heat
was 2:2ll.
The next heat was slowed up to
PA by the leaders having to go
around a fallen horse and sulky on
the last half. Pointer won this heat |

Indiana's grand young man, Senator
