ON WEDDING TRIP; MOTHER DIES
Mrs. A. G. Newcomer, q Bride Of a
Week, Returns Homo to Find Mother

Mrs. A. G. Newcomer, Bride OF q
Week, Returns Home to Find Mother
Dead.
While on her wedding trip, en- route
to her husbands home at Newburg,
Mrs. A. c. Newcomer, who was mar
ried at Muscatine early last week,
learned that her mother, Mrs. Samuel
v. Cheneweth, had died Thursday at
Muscatine.
Mr.. and Mrs. Newcomer had been in
Omaha for a week spending their hon-
eymoon. They reached the city
Thursday afternoon, and later left, as
Mrs. Newcomer supposed, for New
burg. After they had departed from
this city, Mrs. Newcomer learned of
her mother sudden death, and she and
her husband, instead of stopping at
Newburg, continued on to Muscatine.
Mr.. Newcomers father, Mr.. John
Newcomer, of Newburg, received the
news Of Mrs. Cheneweth's death, and
knowing that his son and daughter
would reach this city during the day.
he came here and met them. The sad
news was not broken to Mrs. New
conner until just before the train
reached Newburg. Mrs. Cheneweth
had been in poor health, but her condi-
ton had not been serious enough to
cause alarm.
Mr.. and Mrs. Newcomer will live on
the D. R. Morgan farm, which adjoins
Mr.. Newcomers fathers farm, just
west of Newburg.

ALBION CORN SCHOOL.
Large Attendance Of Farmers at In
structive Sessions.

Large Attendance Of Farmers at In
structive Sessions.
There was large attendance at the
corn school of the Albion Farmers
Study club, whose four days session
comes to close with a lecture this
evening by Professor Jones, of Iowa
State College, Ames. Over fifty were
present at the Thursday session, and
about the same number took advantage
Of the meetings today.
& Professor Wilson, Of Ames, who was
to have been present Thursday for adj
dresses, was called to South Dakota
unexpectedly, and Professor Jones did
not arrive until today. M. A. Hauser
took charge Of the work, and showed
the results of the county experiment
station work, which he directed, at the
forenoon session. In the afternoon, c..
E. Arney, presiding, was taken up the
subject OF noxious weeds, the velvet
weed and sour dock, in particular and
the disadvantages of having the weeds
growing along the public highways.
The discussion was participated in by
H. B. Nyce. Thomas SNearingen,
George Hauser and H. j. Reidell. Mr..
Arney spoke on meadows, and how to
improve them, also their harvesting.
"Our Roads, and the Methods for
Keeping Them, in Proper Condition"
was another subject Of the afternoon
that received careful consideration.
Not only the use of the road drag was
urged, but keeping the roads free from
weeds, as well. Mr.. Arney, L. w. Ffs-
Gus, George Hauser and Mr.. Reidell
entered this discussion, and Mr.. Rel
delrs talk was especially good. The
idea had been advocated that the town
ship trustees should pay the farmers
so much per mile for keeping the roads
in good shape. Mr.. Reidell said that
it would be shame if any farmer did
not have enough pride in his own farm,
and those Of his neighbors to be will
ing to get out and use the road drag
and donate his services. A short time
spent in corn judging closed the study
Of Thursday.
Professor Jones was present at the
morning session today. and took up the
oats question. This proved most profit
able, and the farmers, at the noon adj
iournment, expressed themselves as
having obtained much benefit from the
talk. Professor Jones urged the neces-
sity of getting rid of the weak oats, by
blowing the small and thin ones out by
a tanning mill. He said that by plant
ing only good sized oats the crop could
be increased anywhere from twelve to
twenty bushels per acre.
The oats subject was again taken up
this afternoon, and was followed by a
talk on horticulture by Professor
Jones. Horticulture is the subject Of
Mr.. Jones lecture, to be given tonight.

nings included large number of firsts

the west has sold more extra choice ex-
hibition and breeding stock and eggs

and certainly no breeder in this part of
the country is better or more favor

Mr.. Duffield's success is due largely
to the fact that he has always made It
a practice to sell extra good stuff at
reasonable prices, and to send it out

The people of Gilman are agitating
the question of building a new and

school house has been built about thir-

the number OF pupils enrolled each
year, for the number Is constantly
increasing. The Gilman Dispatch is
devoting considerable space to the agi-
tation, and it is more than likely that
the matter Of tax levy for school
house purposes will be submitted to
