The IOWA STATE FAIR

There is a lot of conflab in the pa
pers just now about advertising the
Iowa State Fair without remuneration,
some taking one side and some the
other. And because of this discussion
the fair is being advertised about as
we'll as ever before. If they pay any
papers they should pay all of them;
and we think that much of the money
spent on hand bills might better be
paid to the newspapers. For the pres
ent this paper advertises the fair as
heretofore. When the Executive Board
has meeting to provide for the fair
next year a reasonable amount can be
appropriated for advertising in the
newspapers. That much can be deduct
ed from some of the fim-hams for
amusement.

A Sensible Move

The Daily Telegraph, of Atlantic,
announced last Monday that with that
issue it would be discontinued for the
present; and that the move had been
taken because the present publishers,
as well as their predecessors, have
learned by experience that it is not a
paying proposition. Instead of spend.
ing their time and money on small
daily they will use it to get out a large
weekly that will be credit to the
place. They have persisted in issuing
the daily for twenty-eight years and
considering the conditions have made
a good paper. Weconsider the change
a sensible move and one that will be
much more satisfactory to both the
publishers and the people.

reeunty and the entire history of Extra
from it's very beginning. Her work in
Audubon county began as a teacher,
being among the first to teach the boys
and girls of the pioneers, and one
touching scene at the funeral was that
of G. ID. West, Race Rogers, Scott
Herrick, Boy Herrick, Will Milliman
and Charles, Milliman, some of whom
were once her pupils but who are no
longer young men; bearing their old
teacher to her last resting place. With
her husband she shared the trials of
pioneer life and under the burdens she
was called upon to bear she never fall
tered or complained, but with splendid
christian spirit and loyalty to every
known duty she steadfastly kept her
face to the light and her soul filed
with hope. To Mr.. and Mrs. Bush
we're born four children, two of whom
had preceded their parents to the home
above. When Mrs. Bush was seven
teen years old she was converted and
united with the M. K. church, although
she says in written account of her
early christian life, Il do not remem-
Der when | began to live the christian
life or when | began to pray.) At the
time of her marriage she took her let
ter from the M. E. church and united
with the Congregational church of
which she remained an honored mem
Der until called to the home above.
Through long weary months of suffer-
ing her faith held steadfast and sure;
no word of complaint was heard from
her, but perfect resignation to her
Masters will. She never grew weary
of speaking words of appreciation of
those who so tenderly ministered to
her in her hours of suffering. On
Thursday evening, August Is, 1907,
she closed her eyes to open on the
fields of eternal glory. The funeral
services were from the house on Sun
day afternoon, August eighteen, Rev.
Fl. L. Wissler, former pastor offici-
ating, and she sleeps on the family
lot in the Extra Cemetery. H. L. w.

will be all right for any one to apply
to the county superintendent for this

WOULD MAKE GOOD ONE.

Col. Lafayette Young is being fav-
orably mentioned as one of Iowa's
delegates at large to the republican
national convention. He was dele
gate at large to the convention of 1900
and made the speech-a ringing one,
nominating Theodore Roosevelt as q
candidate for vice president: and also
of Secretary Taft with whom he made
a trip to the Philippines. He is also
we'll acquainted with Uncle Joe, with
Fairbanks and Knox and Shaw. Then
why not make him delegate with
three other good men? Do this. then
let the districts make wise selections
in naming their delegates and Iowa
will have a potential voice in naming
the ticket next Marion Regis
ter.

TAPS SOUNDED
Over the Remains of Luther McNutt
Buried at Lead CITY,

The following report taken from q
Lead city paper will be of special in
terest to the friends of the, deceased:
Luther McNutt. one of the heroes OF
the Spanish and Philippine wars, was
laid at rest in the cemetery of South
Lead this afternoon, comrades who
had served with him and who had TAX
en- part in the strenuous and patriotic
life OF his enlistment, participated in
the funeral and accompanied his re-
mains to the grave where the funeral
services of the United Spanish War
veterans were carried out. Several
members of Lead camp, proceeded to
home of late comrade at Hanna, this
morning, and accompanied the re-
mains to the city. Rev. Poland con-
Quoted the services, atthe house, which
were attended by large number of
friends and acquaintance of the de-
ceased. After the ceremonies at the
house had been concluded the re-
mains of their comrade were placed
in the hearse and brought to Lead.
AT the cemetery the Spanish war vet
Grams took charge of the services, and
the beautiful ritual for the dead of
that organization was read by Cap
tain Coke and the Chaplain. After
the services of the camp had been car
ried out Trumpeter Ebersole sounded
Taps over the grave of the depart
ed comrade, and as the sad. sweet
notes of the call lloated out across the
hills and echoed back from their walls
thoughts of their late comrade, his
devotion to his country the sacrifices
which he had made in her cause and
the honor with which he had acquitted
himself in the struggles against her
enemies were brought back to them,
and all were proud that they had been
privileged to call him comrade or had
shared with him in the glory of the
campaign: the sorrow which filled
every breast that he had answered the
last roll call and had been taken from
them, was lightened by the fact that
his duty had been we'll done, and that
the last detail to which he had been
assigned would again place him in the
companionship with those of his low
ed one and brothers in arms who had
preceded him to the land beyond the
grave, where the only campaigns in
which he will take part will be cam
paigns of peace and happiness. After
the services by the Spanish War vet
Grams, Rev. Poland read prayer and
the body was consigned to the grave.
There were a number Of beautiful flor
al offerings, but none of them were so
fragrant as will be the memory of his
family, his friends and his comrades
as the devotionhe gave country and
his dear ones.

FIRE AT Ell RENO
The Residence Of D G Mott Totally
Destroyed Sunday Morning

S. l.. Mantz, who returned Tuesday
from Oklahoma brings the unwelcome
news that Mr.. Mott and his family
were burned out of house and home
early last Sunday morning. Mr..
Mantz came through Ell Reno that day
and received news of the disaster from
Mr.. Frank White, former resident
of this county. The trouble came from
a livery stable on the street back of
their place which was burned down,
and high wind carried the flames to
their residence and despite the efforts
made by the fire department it was to-
tally destroyed. Most of the house
hold goods were removed but much
damage was done by removal and
water. If it be correct as stated that
Mr.. Mott carried only small insurance
on the building his loss will be consid-
cradle as he had a good property
which had increased in value since he
bought it year ago. They will prob
ably remove at once to Marengo, for
reasons given in another place in this
issue.

Corn Weather Sure.

With the exception of two or three
days we have had the best kind of
corn weather since the first of July.
There has been an abundance of rain,
sometimes more than needed and the
temperature has been high both day
and night. And the corn has been
growing rapidly. Some people say
they have never before seen it grow so
fast. Yet we must have much more
hot weather to mature the crop. Six
weeks more at least, and then the tot
al crop will be many million bushels
short this year.
Since the above was in type the
weather has cooled off materially
which will serve to check the growth
of the stock and bring the corn to
maturity more quickly.

MOTHER

There is no name on earth so-dear,
No name that sounds so sweet;
Without mothers love indeed
No life can be complete.
No other name will touch all hearts,
Or start the hidden tear:
A mothers love and tender care
Are held by all most dear.
Our mothers gone to be with God,
Has entered into rest
And though we weep and mourn for her
We know Gods will is best.
How many years in tender love,
He spared her to us all;
And when at length the summons came
She gladly heard the call.
Her heavenly home is bright indeed,
Her crown is surely won;
For faithful unto death was she,
No work was left undone.
God grant that we may truly learn
The lessons of her life,
That ours may more unseltish grow
And with good deeds be rife.
And soon, Oh, very soon, they'll end,
For just few years more
Will bring the glad reunion sure
Upon the other shore.

AN EARLY SETTLER.
INDUCES in "reminiscences of the
Early Days of Audubon County.

INDUCES in "reminiscences of the
Early Days of Audubon County.
Richard F.. Parmley of Anita was
in the city today to meet the remains
of the late Michael Scharff, an old
friend of his, and while at the depot
waiting for the train told some inter-
esting "reminiscences of the early his
tory of this section. Mr.. Parmley is
one of the Oldest settlers, having come
to Audubon county in 1857. He was
born at Niles, Mich. in September of
1896 and moved with his parents to
this state in lS47, coming as stated,
to Audubon county ten years later.
That county at the time was thinly
settled and wild game, including deer
and elk, was plenty. Mr.. Parmley
built his house in this county in 1866,
hauling the lumber from Des Moiues
by teams to build the house it taking
five days to make the trip. Mr..
Parmley has passed through some in
teresting experiences and has d fund
Of interesting stories in regard to
those early days. In the winter of
lS60-Gl two brothers;in-law Of his,
Daniel and Luke lsthmus, started to
Audubon county to Mount Ayr, in
Ringgoid county. Nearly all the dis
tance to FOntanelle in Adair county
was unbrOken prairie and while they
were on their journey a terrible storm
arose, in which the two men persisted.
One was found dead upon the prairie
while the other was found frozen to
death in a small unoccupied house
which he had managed to reach. The
bodies were found after long search
participated in by nerrly fifty men.
The men persisted between Mo. rison's
station and Fontanelle.
The incident is recalled by many of
the old pioneers of the county as are
many of the other happenings of that
time Interestingly recounted by Mr..
Parmley.-Daily Telegraph.

A FAMILY KERFEW.
That Should Ring Every Night il
Found to be Necessary.

An exchange properly says that
every family should have a curfew
which should positively 'ring tonight"
and every night if needed. These cur
fews are inexpensive and can be home
made. Take piece of siding two
feet long and white one end down to
a handle, then take the child that
needs the curfew and bend him over a
barrel. Now take the piece of siding
in the hand and use it as a clapper.
Put it on hot. Divide the strokes
evenly and see that none miss. Good
for boy or girl up to l6, and three
applications are warranted to cure the
most pronounced case of street loaf
ing that exists. The music that this
curfew makes is finer than singing
"Where smy wandering boy tonight.

Less and Less.

The coatless man puts careless arm
Round the waist of q hatless girl,
While over the dustless, mudless road
In horseless wagon they whirl.
Like a leadless bullet from hammerless
gun,
BY smokeless powder driven,
They fly to taste the speechless joys
BY endless union given.
The only luncheon his coinless purse
Affords to them the means
Is tasteless meal of homeless cod,
With dish of stringless beans.
He smokes his old tobaccoless pipe,
And laughs mirthless laugh
When papa tries to coax her back
BY wireless telegraph.
