TO the people Of this commun'
lily we heartily recommend The
Kansas City Daily Post as a
newspaper. It has the strongest
and best Geographic service Of
all the papers in Kansas City
the Hearst service. The Associ.
ated Press reports have always
been prejudicial to the Demo.
cratic party and readers of Demo
cratic papers have not been able
| to get at the true inwardness oil
things, because the Associated
Press is dominated by Repub-
licans. who in turn are dominated
by the trusts. The Hearst SER
vice is free, fair and independent.
In market reports The Post is
unsurpassed by any paper in the
West. Every detail is thorough
and complete. 1t is organizing
strong corps of country cores
pondcnts who are gathering news
for it and sending the same in as
specials. 1t is reliably Demo
cratic, vigorous, conservative and
straightforward. The subscrip-
ton price of The Post is 81. 50 a
year by mail. Therefore, all who
want Democratic daily that has
for its motto:
Heres freedom to him that would read,
Here's freedom TO him that would write. "

FRED H. HILL DIES SUDDENLY
Serious Illness Dates from cnly 3 Few
Days Ago
OPERATION FAILS TO AFFORD RELIEF
Deceased Had Been Prominent Figure
in the Business Life of the City
since Coming Here Early
I'm the Eighties.

Fred II. Hill, secretary OF the Empkie
Shugart-Hill company and one OF the lead
ing business men Of this city, died yester-
day morning at the Jennie Edmundson
Memorial hospital following an operation
performed late Wednesday evening as
last expedlent to save his life. Mr.. Hill
had been Ill but few days and the news
of his death came as shock TO the COM
munity in which he had been prominent
for many years.
When taken III last Monday the at
tack appeared to be similar to several he
had suffered from before and no alarm
was felt about his condition until early
Wednesday morning, when his case be-
came serious and several physicians were
called in consultation. During the after
noon Mr. Hill was removed from his home
on Third avenue to the hospital and the
operation decided upon. The operation dis
closed the fact that Mr.. Hills trouble was
due to a cancerous growth of the intes-
tines which precluded any possibility Of
recovery.
Mr. Hill was 81 years OF age. haYing been
born in Lyndonville, NJ Y, November 20,
1852 Before coming to Council Bluffs he
was engaged in the lumber business In
Detroit, Mich. He served one term in the
state legislature during his residence in
Michigan. Early in 1882 he came to Coun-
ell Bluffs to assist in the management of
the Empkie Hardware company, which
later was reorganlzed under It's present
name Of the Bmplde- Shugart-Hi company.
Mr.. Hill was married May 10, 1875, at
Keosauqua, Ia, to Miss Iowa Knapp,
daughter of the late Judge ]. c. Knapp
of that city, who survives him. Two chill
dren were born to them, son, Fred, who
died at the age OF 10 years. and daugh-
ter. Mrs. George H. Mayne, who resides
| in this city. Mr.. Hill also leaves a brother.
George H. Hill Of Springfield. Mo-. and
three sisters, Mrs. Julia II. Barnes of Du-
! luth, Mrs. j. L. Dyer of Wichita Kan.
and Mrs. e. II. Fish OF Los Angeles. Cal.
] During his residence in Council Bluffs Mr..
Hill always took a prominent part In any
movement for the betterment of the city.
He assisted in the organization of the
Commercial club, of the executive com
mittee of which he was member. He
was also prominent in the AFFAIRS of the
local lodge of Elks. For number of years
he had been a trustee of the First Pres
byterian church. with which he had been
identified from his arrival in the city.
