Obituary..

Died at the home of her parents in
Hawarden, Iowa, April 3. 1907, Sister
Hannah f. johnson. She was born in
Chicago, H., Sept %, 1875. She was
thirty-one years, six months, and twelve
days old at time of her death. She was
converted at the age of sixteen and soon
afterwards joined the Seventh day
Adventist church at Big Springs, 5. ID.
She was always faithful member and
an energetic worker in the interest of
gospel work till the last. The last few
years of her life was especially devoted
to the care of the sick, after having
taken the nurses training course. 1t
was while thus caring for others that
she contracted the typhoid fever last
November, which afterwards resulted
in other complications that caused her
death. She leaves her father, mother,
four brothers, two sisters, and a large
circle of friends to mourn their loss.
During her sickness, as il health, she
loved to mediate upon the promises Of
God and the advancement of his mes
sage, to which her life had been dedi-
Gated. We expect to meet her in the
resurrection day. Words Of comfort
were spoken by the writer from Rev.
A:13.-E. G. Hayes. The lady men,
toned above at one time had charge of
the Peabody hospital in this city.

Den II de Mai.

| The celebration of Norway's indie
pendence day given by Diet Norsks
Selskab of Webster was a grand sue
cess. The members with their familie,
and considerable number of invited
guests filed the Kaking hall.
The opening number on the program
was duet on the piano by the Misses
Margaret Wist and Martha Egeland
Then followed short address of wei
come by John Lienlokken, president OF
the society. Mrs. Frank Anderson
sang "The Chatet Girls Sunday" O
beautiful song written by Bishop Jor.
gen Moe, the music composed by Ole
Bull. The sentiment of the song, the
touching music aud fine rendering put
audience in receptive mood for what
was to follow.
The Grafton was delived by Rev. J.
Madison He barely mentioned the
h istorical events which preceded the
separation of Norway from Denmark
and also the events of 1905, which
finished, il may be said, the work SO
nobly begun at Eidvold 81 years before.
The speaker dwelt more at length on
the question of what makes a people
strong and able TO foster and carry out
the ideals of freedom, porular govern
ment and general enlightenment. That
is three things, namely: The litera-
ture which is distiucly peoples own;
its morals, which again can be in a
measure gauged by the literature from
which the intellectual life is nourished;
and. third, peoples worship of God,
that again being the fountain from
which the others spring To illustrate
the claim made that the people of the
Scandinavian countries have been
blessed in this respect more abundantly
that the Latin nations, he cited some
doctrines from mythology as held by
the Mortimer before Christianity was
known in the land and showed how
strikingly similar it was to Bible doc
trine. The speech surely deserved the
marked attention and liberal applause
given at its close.
Then follow: Song, "The North"
by Sons of Norway, Octet. Declaration
"The Saga of Norway" by Miss Gracia
Kjerland; piano solo, Fantasia" by
Miss Elsie Williams. She responded to
oil he
music both vocal and instrumental.
Mr.. Frank Anderson then made
short speech and in the few minutes
time taken up he impressed upon the
audience the truth that any person who
belong to a people that had history to
be proud of was fortunate, and by
virtue of that fact most likely to become
a good citizen of any country where he
locates; hence the propriety of celebrat-
fathers even after he becomes citizen
of another country.
Miss Laura Harse read an essay,
written by herself, touching history
and life IN the north.
Mr.. Ruth Egge sang solo Mr..
Ed. Reckmo rendered solo on the
flute, accompanied by Miss Williams on
the piano.
Judge Lund then spoke full of enthu-
siasm and pathos, showing that the
influence of woman have had more to
do with shaping destinies of men and
nations than is generally realized.
A mastery rendered solo on the piano
by Miss Wist finished the literary pro-
gram.
The audience being requested to
remain seated the committee on refresh!
ments took charge. Everybody felt
and many expressed that they had been
royalty entertained.

LAME EVERY MORNING
4 Bad Back 10 Always Worse In the
Morning. Laramie People Are
Finding Relief.

A back that aches all day and causes
discomfort at night is usually worse in
the morning. Makes you feel as if yon
hadn't slept at all.
Can't cure a bad back until you cure
the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kdneys-make you feel better,
work better, rest better and sleep bet
ter.
Permanent cures in Laramie prove
the merit Of Doan's.
Mrs. Peter Bothen, 359 West Gar,
field street, Laramie, Wyo., v
MY husband complained of backache
off and on for three or four years. In
the morning, prior to beginning work
he was annoyed the most but after
some exercise the pain and lameness
was no SO noticeable. An advertise.
ment about Doan's Kidney Pills led
me to procure a box for him from the
Laramie Drug company. The use OF
this remedy brought him speedy and
lasting relief. He thinks Doan's Kid.

to laboratory instruction in soils and

structors says of him:
Il believe that Mr.. l.. B. McWethy
has certain qualities which will make
him invaluable as an assistant in your
new field. He is a persistent worker,
knows how to deny himself, and is an
everlasting hustler, both II on the
plots and in preparation for his classes.
He is perfectly true and reliable and
tells the truth; he is loyal, he is free
from. jealousy, and personally he is all
right"

UNREST AND HIGH PRICES.

We do not believe, as some partisans
would have it, that President Roose
welt is responsible for the strikes that
are passing as a wave over the land.
He has been very quiet of late. Meth
err should the Lands 'sock-dolloger"
of a fine on Rockefeller be too severely
blamed. The t~elegraphers' strike has
been in the air all summer, and strikes,
like other extremes, are contagious.
They grow through contact. Some.
times they are as safety valves: they
get rid of an oversupply of energy and
products.
Unusual prosperity has to do
with the unrest, prosperity and the
vacuum which nature hates, the gap
in the economic wall. An evening up"
process is due. Wages are higher thar
ever known. But the great gold pro.
duction is reducing the purchasing pow.
er of money. British %consols, when
last heard from, were the lowest in a
half century, with not even a war
cloud the size of a mans hand on the
European horizon; and Wall street is
quoting securities that are paying divi-
dends of seven and eight per cent at
less than par. Yet the price of living
has gone soaring in recent times. The
''unearned increment" which our so
cialist brethren anathematize is hav'
ing a hard time amidst the abundance.
The arts and crafts and unskilled Ia
Dor are all getting big money. A coal
miner is receiving today what would
have been a fabulous wage a decade
Ago.; but the price Of coal is higher in
proportion. Building trades are pay.
ing from thirty to fifty per lei more
in wages than half a dozen years
back; but the cost of buildings has
gone up from fifty to seventy-ive per
cent. There is always the plus" to
go on to the e wage scale.
The pendulum has been swinging to
al extreme length. Soon a mean will
