her sister, Mrs. Ed Fitzgerald, No. sos
North bird street, of cancer, at 3;4O
O'Clock Sunday morning, Oct. 6, 1907,
Miss Mary Jane Walling, aged 81

Fifty-one years ago Sunday the
James and Mary Walling family came
to this county from the old home in
Ohio. They first located ON farm

Later they removed to Oskaloosa

tina and Mary Jane Walling, grew to
maturity and have since resided in the
city. The daughter Vina, wife of viii
Zane, died a number of years ago.
The deceased has been afflicted with
the trouble that took her life during
the past twenty-five years. She was a
quiet and retiring soul, but those who
were permitted to penetrate into the
circle of her acquaintance knew her as
a sincere, devout and God-fearing soul.
While her death was not unlocked for,
and while it brought, surcease from
pain and long suffering, a deep regret
is expressed at the passing of this old

CURED in the south yards of the Iowa

night switching crew was busily at
work in the yards and had just set on
two cars loaded with scenery of

main line. The switch engine went
into the freight house track to take
out some empty cars The brakes
failed to work on the cars loaded with
scenery and they started down the
track south. The switch engage was
pulling out from the freight house
track at the same time and cornered
the runaway coach. The trucks on
the first baggage car was knocked
from the track and the car partially
smashed. The switch engine suffer
ed the worst as the result of the col
lision, the first four front trucks leav-
ing the track, the footboard demol-
ished and the cab partially smashed.
The wreck occurred on the main
line in the vicinity of the old yard
Office. Owing TO the main line track
being blockaded. No. s and 2 used the
old line track on the west side Of the
yards to get in and out OF town. The
cars of the east bound passenger No,
Is were on the track back of the
wreck. Owing to the wreck they
could not be gotten out and the train
was delayed several hours
The show troupe was going. to Al

wrecked baggage car was transferred
to a freight car. This caused delay
of a couple of hours. The wrecking
crew was called from this city and
the track was cleared up early this

tom. Naturally euouSA, Jul 1lieAu
desired to take his dog with him when
he went out riding in the cool OF the
day dawn. Outside in the desert it
was all clear sailing. The difficulty
was how to get his little favorite past
the dogs which patrolled the inter-
vening PAGES. Food was set before
the greeneyed natives, who, however,
only turned the crustier. If ever one
Of them whose muzzle was in mess
of pottage chanced to catch glimpse
with a corner Of his eye of the. for
eigner's curled darling, it would not
be his fault if he failed to grab him.
There was nothing for it but to put
the dog in a saddle bag and set him
down in the resert. One unlucky
morning, however, poor Jacques,
CHANGING to stray from his master,
was not only killed, but eaten.
After sundown the dogs keep up
anineessant babel, from the varying
tones of which it is easy to gather
whether they are merely giving tongue
promiscuously to proclaim their vigil
ance or are dealing with some one in
particular.
Many time in riding after dark
into the unhghted city attended by a
mounted escort, I have known the
street ours to fall so trucently on the
heels Of the horses as to cause, in spite
Of spur and bridle,> general STAN
pede back again into the open coun-
try.
How is it that such packs of furies
do not loot the bazaars Of the town!
| The explanation is as simple as it is
interesting. The Bagdad shop fronts
are absolutely open. The goat and
mutton carcasses are hung where eV-
cry dog that runs can reach them. But
time out Of mind, the first glance OF
dogs eye toward forbidden daintles
has been visited with the swift de-:
scent on him Of a cudgel or a hatehet.
On one of a series Of marches par
allel with the Euphrates l CHANGED to
meet a desert horde whose greyhounds
are in high repute. Buying a brace
of saplings, I took them on with me,
lodging them in the tent and doing
everything that was possible to make
them feel at home. Surprising to re-
late, they obstinately refused both
| food and water. The remains OF a
venison pasty seemed at once to at
tract and to repel them. A pan Of
water appealed to them even more
strongly, but they would not go up to
it.
After a time a Persian muleteer ex-
planned the hystery in a. twinkhng.
No sooner d he upset the water and
toss the via9ds on the ground before
them than the silky cared ones ran
in like Trojans, and made up in few
1.oments for a days fasting. Aceus-
somed to lap from the river, from IT.
rigational channels and from sheets
Of surface water, and reared among
people who do not use tables, they
had been taught by many buffet to
keep their noses out Of cooking pots
and vessels of every description.
| In Bagdad man and beast alike
drink of the great river, which also
forms the arterial common sewer OF
the city, the place where clothes are
washed, and the "tStygian wave" IN
to which is dragged every beast OF
burden when it is not left to he where
it has fallen. The muddy bottom,
with the water even recedlng, the ex-
posed surface thick with impurities,
and the tropical sun ''sucking up all
the infections,'' must be regular
hotbed Of miasma and pestilence.
