OBITUARY
WHITNEY,:

Miriam Emma Whitney was born
in Wilmot, New Hampshire, April
26, 1853, the daughter OF William S.
and Mary B. Whitney, and passed
away at the home of her uncle, N. S.
Durgin, in Cresco, Iowa, on Saturday,
January 10, 1907.
Miss Whitney received common
school education in East Andoyer and
later attended the Bryant 8 Stratton
Commercial College at Manchester.
N. FL. She studied music in the
Musical Conservatory at Concord, N.
H., under Prof. Merrill, leading
musical instructor of much ability.
After finishing her musical education
she returned to Manchester, where
she obtained situation in the dress
ing rooms of the Manchester Cotton
Mills, which situation she held for
number of years, when she was pro-
noted to a clerical position. After
being In the employ of these mills for
twenty-seven years, she resigned.
In 1897, She came to Cresco, Iowa.
When the Northern Iowa Telephone
Co, commenced business, she was
engaged by them as their first
operator, which position she held for
number of years, when she was en-
gagged as their bookkeeper.
She was a member in good standing
OF Mistletoe Rebekah Lodge No. 81,
Of West Manchester. New Hampshire,
also an active member Of Memorial
w. r. @. No. 164, OF Cresco, Iowa.
Miss Whitney was converted and
joined the Congregational church In
her early childhood, since which time
she has ever been devout Christian.
Since coming to Creseo, she united
with the u. o church. Her splend i'd
talents were always devoted to the
service of God. Since coming to
Cresco, she has served very satisfac.
torily In the several church auxiliaries.
Her long and able services as leading
soprano in the church choir was high
ly appreciated and enjoyed by all
those who heard her sing. No church
or other good organization that re-
quested her service was ever turned
away while she was able to respond to
the call.
Her work as secretary of the Dis,
trict Epworth League has been
excelled by none. Her unselfshness
in responding to the numerous calls
on her to help, where singing was re-
CURED, was at once beautiful and con-
vincing that she was always actuated
by true Christian spirit, in devotine
what she considered her God given
talent to the benefit of her fellow
beings.
The funeral was held at the M. E.
church, yesterday afternoon, Rev.
Gammons officiating. The w. r q,
of which deceased was member,
attended 10 body and participated
in the services. Intermsnt was In
Oak Lawn Cemetery.

LOCAL FARMERS
SUFFER BY THE
LONG BROUGHT

The recent drought lasting for nearly
20 days. and Just ended by the last rain
storm. has been blessing 10 some and
a dire misfortune to others.
This is especially true I'm regard to
farmers and producers OF garden truck.
The majority of the farmers whose fields
and gardens we're burned and dried up
during the warm spell are heavy %osers
But the farmers who were supplied with
hydrants and other watering facilities
have produced the usual crops and pr~t-
iting by the scarcity and consequential
high price OF the various vegetables, ahey
have reaped a rich harvest.
Fruit of all kinds has been destroyed,
and there Is little promise of n large
crop. Curious though the fact may seem,
the effect OF the rain upon tomatoes was
disastrous.
The rain striking the tomatoes at this
time Of the year breaks them open, and
one farmer estimated that his loss from
this item alone would reach In the thous-
ands.

IS ALARMED
RELIGIOUS CRISIS HAS FINAL
LY ARRIVED.
Pops Has Rejected the Governments
Otter Under Which the Catholic
Worship Could Be Continued Under
the Common Law-eOvernment May
Take Harsh Measures.

Paris. Dec. 11.-France seems to
face an alarming religious crisis. Inc
pope's eleventh hour rejection OF the
governments prefer under which
Catholic worship could be continued
under the common law turns out to be
only too true, and the deadlock now Is
aparently complete. According to the
bolv fathers orders, declarations un-
der the law Of 1881 are prohibited, but
the parish priests must remain in their
churches until driven out by violence.
The official confirmation of this re-
mort has created a sensation, both IN
government and Catholic circles. Car
dinaI Lecot, archbishop Of Bordeaux,
Archbishop German and others, who
had already advised compliance with
the law. have hastily instructed the
parish priests of their diocese that
their former advice is null and void,
and today in all the churches of Paris
bishops and priests after mass read
the letter from Cardinal Richard. arcA-
bishop of Paris, communicating the de-
cision Of the holy see to continue SER
vices in the churches, but abstain from
any declaration, and Cardinal Rich
ards W instructions in view of the
order issued by the project Of the
Seine yesterday, not to permit for the
present the employment of ceremonial
draperies at marriages or funerals.
The church wardens, whose legal
existence expires next Tuesday, were
thanked Sunday from the pulpits of the
! various churches.
Prayers were offered appealing for
the protection of God during the COM
ing period of persecution.
The government regards the action
Of the pontiff as little less than a
summons Of the French Catholics to
open rebellion, as rendering the situa-
ton exceedingly grave and possibly
entailing the most deplorable conse-
quences.
Premier Clemenceau and NJ. BRAND,
minister of public worship, were in
conference all day Sunday. There is
no sign of the government ~faltering,
but it is recognized they may be forced
to extreme measures.
