Obituary

The funeral of Myrtle Van Kirk.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Fred VIII
cox was held at the home of her par.
ents, 626 East Main street, at p. M,
Tuesday and the remains were laid
to rest in the Ottumwa cemetery. Mrs.
Van Kirk died in Council Bluffs last
Friday morning. Less than week be-
fore her death she visited her parents
here and was apparently in the best Of
health and spirits. The funeral serv-
ices were conducted by Rev. w. H.
Horned of the East End Presbyterian
church, who spoke these kind words of
the departed one:
Mrs. Myrtle Van Kirk. wife of J..
G. Van Kirk of Ottumwa, Ia. was
born in Keokuh, September %. 1885
On July 6. 1903, she was married 70
j. C. Van Kirk of Ottumwa Besides
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs Fred H.
Wilcox OF Ottumwa. she leaves behind
to mourn her departure her husband
and three sisters, Mrs. Edward Myers,
Mrs. Lee Martin and Miss Ruth Will
cox of Ottumwa. Myrtle was a faith
full daughter, 4 beloved sister, and a
faithful wife. AS a neighbor she has
a host Of friends who loved her and
revere her memory because Of her
kindness to everybody. In her the
poor have lost an ever kind and sym
pathetic friend. How our hearts yearn
to awake in a new world Of holy con.
ditions where the cords of brotherly
love and the blessed ties Of friendship
may again be taken up to be contin-
ued in one unbroken life of JOY and
bliss. How comforting the words OF
our elder brother, Jesus, the Saviour
Of all men sound in such an hour rs
this to the bereayed and burdened
souls: In my Fathers house are
many mansions; il it were not SO,
would have told you; for [ go to pre-,
pare place for you John 14:2''
For the beautiful floral offerings. for
the many kind expressions Of sorrow
and sympathy, for the noble acts OF

MAKE GOOD RECORD
Twelve Attend Throughout Term
Without Hardness or Absence at
Liberty School.

That the pupils of the country
schools appreciate the benefit of an
education and SO value the opportun-
ity of securing school facilities that
the mark for hardness and absense
is considered almost blotch on their
school record, is shown in the record
for punctuality that the Liberty school
boasts Of. This school is situated in
DahloIega township. and while not
the largest school in the country dis.
tricts of Wapello county, having to-
tai enrolment of but twenty-siE pu-
pills, it has record for attendance
that is credited by County Superinten-
dent Miss Emma Nye, as the best
that has ever been accomplished in
the county. Out of the total OF
twenty-six pupils, twelve have a record
OF not being either tardy nor absent
throughout the entire term notwith-
standing the many calls upon the
country youths for work on the farm
during the term. The teacher OF
Liberty school is Miss Grace Miller
who is justly proud Of the accomplish.
ment Of her scholars.

Abba is HAPPY
over INTERURBAN
GREAT SAVING FOR HlTEMAN
AND ALBA PEOPLE is ONE
RESULT.

Abba, Dec. 24.-All Abba is re-
joicing over the completion of the
new interurban road to Hiteman A
recent trial trip by the officials of the
road proved success, and it was fol-
lowed by trip for newspaper men,
bankers and business men of the
town.
One year ago the interurban line to
Hooking from Abba was opened, and
the first anniversary of this line is
now celebration with the opening of
one three times the length of the
first road The total sum required for
the building Of the new road was fur
nished by Abba, and the contributors
to the fund are more than pleased
with the final result of their efforts.
All concerned feel that the right kind
of men were behind the project. fact
which is the only reason for the ulti-
mate success of the project.
The Hooking line, now one year old,
has paid it's owners from the first day
it started. Those connected with the
new interurban line from Abba to
Hiteman predict that this line will
pay even better than the Hooking AL
bia road. Not only has Abba profit
ed from interurbans, but it now seems
evident that Hiteman is to also. A
Hiteman housewife can come to Abba
in the morning on the interurban,
make her purchases and get back
home in time for dinner. 1t costs
Hiteman people 40 cents to get away
from their town now by steam cars,
and even at this price they often have
to wait for belated train. The. fare
on the new electric line will be 20
cents each way, but the accommoda.
ton furnished and convenience at
hand for the patrons OF the road
makes this fare cheap.
From Abba to the city reservoir it
costs 81 by livery A much cheaper
passage will now be supplied by the
interurban and the boat house in the
summer and the skating rink in the
winter is assured of increased patron.
age.
Buxton is the next terminal of this
interurban road and 1t is with conf,
dence of success that the projectors of
the movement have begun work with
Buxton as the end in view

A MILLIONAIRE

CRITICAL CONDITION is
MILLloNAIRE's DAUGHTER.
STABB.NG C III A r 6 ED
Former OttumWan's Wife is Thought
to be Offspring of James Long,
Syrup King Has Been
Missing for Years.

If Joseph Mccormick dies, the
daughter OF a San Francisco million
aire must stand trial charged with
completely in his death, while on the
other hand, if the man RECEIVERS, the
chances are good that his path in the
future will be paved with peace and
plenty-for it has Just come to light
that Mrs Joseph Mccormick, who is
incarcerated in a San Francisco Jail,
charged with stabbing her husband, is
the long lost daughter of James Long,
the millionaire syrup manufacturer.
Mr.. Mccormick. formerly of this
city. at this time lies critically i'll IL
a San Francisco hospital as the re-
suit of the alleged assault by his wife.
With him ere his mother. Mrs. Martha,
Mccormick Of Ottumwa and his sis
ter, Miss Eva Mccormick Of Chicago.
No word has been received from
them for several days. but. the follow.
ing special has come from San Fran

the situation.
Daughter Was Missing.
San Francisco, Dec 23--in Mrs. 10
seph Mccormick, charged with assault
on her husband with intent to commit
murder, James Long, the millionaire
syrup manufacturer, and his wife, be-
lieve that they have found their mis-.
sing daughter. Ada Long, who disap-
peared from her aunt's home in Den.
Yer two years ago.
Mrs. Mccormick is charged at the
city prison with staobIng her hus.
band. a waiter, in the thigh. He re.
fuses to prosecute her, but the police
are holding the wife, as it is believed
his chance Of recovery is slight, and I,
more serious charge may be placed
against her.
The woman was found wandering
near her hcme, a shack, in an out-of-
the way portion of the city. a short
time after her husband unconscious
and bleeding from his wound, was
discovered by neighbors and sent to
the hospital.
Two years ago Ada Long went to
visit an aunt in Denver. She was ro-
bust and athletic, engaging in all
sorts of outdoor exercises. During a
polo match she fell from her pony and
was kicked on the head. So serious
became her mental condition that the
family decided against her earnest
wishes, that she should enter SAM
tarium. Soon afterward the girl dis
appeared, and was not heard of by the
family until yesterday.
