A DEAR ONE GONE
Mrs. Lille Schrader--McCammant
Passed to the Great Beyond.
Missed by all Who Knew Her

The funeral services of Mrs. Nc
Cammant we're held Tuesday from
the Evangelical church in Audubon
conducted by Rev. Wendell who read
the following obituary:
Lille MCCONNELL was born in
Johnson county, Iowa, October 28th,
1880, and died at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Schrader
on the Old Nursery farm April 25th,
1908, aged 81 yrs. mo. 81 days. She,
with her parents, came from Powe-
shiek county in 1899 and in the fall of
T 1900 was united to Mr.. III. McCom-
NETT. This union was blessed with
three children-two sons and one
daughter, one son having preceded her
to the grave.
The immediate cause of her death
was consumption. She made deter
mined fight for life, but death was
not to:be put off or resisted and thus
claimed her. May God graciously
comfort the bereaved husband, chill
deem and relatives. Interment took
place at Cameron Center.

GEORGE CoSS0N
The Brilliant Young Blackstone" of
the Classic NiShnabotna, is a
Candidate for State Senator

The Perry Advertiser had this to
say of our Elk County Attorney:
George Cossen Of Audubon was in the
city Saturday talking over his candi-
dacy for State Senator with number
of his friends here. He is splendid
yonng man to meet and to those who
know his record both at home and in
state service, the meeting has an
added pleasure.
MIR. Cosson is an attorney of ability
and this fact has been impressed
upon the public in his victory a
month ago in the courts of Waterloo.
He is an assistant in the office of the
State Attorney General and it was
with the confidence of the ATTORNEY
General, Mr.. Byers that he went into
the fight in the recent collateral in
heritance tax fight over the George
Wells estate at Waterloo and came
out victorious. That victory meant
an even $4,000 to the state of Iowa
and Attorney Cosson won the verdict
against such legal talent as Judge
Wade and Pickett and Sd district can
didate for Congress and the admin
istrator Of the estate former Attorney
General Mullen. 1t is the age of
young men and the candidate from
Audubon is certainly a splendid ex.
ponent of that young manhood"

/. 0. 0. F. ANNIVERSARY
The S9th Anniversary of the Order
Celebrated at Carroll In a Furry
of Snow and a Gale of Wind

Carroll is an ideal city in which to
hold the anniversary OF so great an
Organization as the Independent
Order Of Old Fellows. The spacious
new Masonic temple was used to
accommodate the crowd that was
present at the afternoon speech by
Judge Church. 1t came very handy
too at night in conterring the
degrees before several hundred
brethren.
Happening to be in good standing
with our lodge we were invited to
attend the exercises last Monday at
Carroll 80 we iourneyed to that fair
city bright and early Monday morn.
On our way our crowd gradually
augmented by brother Oddfellows
and sister Rebekahs until very
decent number were gathered. Gray,
the home of Utopia Lodge No. 161,
(and known all over Iowa as being
one of the best lodges in the state)
and Canterburybell Rebekah lodge
No. SOC whose organization here
few years ago brought blessings to
the parent lodge and is still admin.
istering solace when needed, turned
out a goodly number of their mem
bership until the number from both
lodges reached some twenty five.
After dinner at Carroll a parade
two or three blocks long formed and,
dressed in their beautiful regalia,
meandered thru the principal streets
headed by Scranton's Silver Cornet
Band. The speech by Judge Church
was pronounced sublime, credit to
the Judge and an honor to the order.
The exempliticatlon work at the
hall whore the Initiatory was con-
ferred By Dunlay lodge and the first
degree by Carroll lodge were pieces
of masterwork and deserve great
credit to the workers. The speeches
| 'sfor the good of the order' lasted
amid storms of mirth, till the an
nouncement of trains decimated the
crowd to a minimum. Cropping the
way to our hotels thru the dark
streets of Carroll (for it was 1915
a. m y aside from the weather, was
the worst package handed the visi-
tors. The Rebekahs held their meet
ing in the Oddfellows hall and they
too had to grope their way to their
homes. From the appearance of the
manned and crippled seen next morn
it may be truthfully sarmised that
many good brother went DOWN in
the darkness, and if we mistake not
some sisters, too, fell over obstacles
One thing the writer learned on this
trip, that when he calls at Carroll
again on "tete day" he will take q
lantern along as part of his regalia
Charles Bamsey and wife are the
happy parents of 8 little son,

the prisoners were wild with fright.
Several of them tainted and were

the purpose OF forcing sales OF
diamonds among the dlsorderly
houses of pittsburg. That New
York and Philadelphia diamond
merchants have had these police
officers on their pay rolls for some
time, 1t is alleged, and much In
the way of proof was brought out
at the public hearing of Ieuten-
ant Charles Johnston, of the Pitts
burg police force, Johnston was
stripped of his uniform and dis
charged In disgrace from the Po-
lice Department for conduct un-
becoming an officer
II was proved that Johnston
when in full uniform had entered
houses of the underworld and there
sold to women diamond rings at
prices far above their real value
II being understood that the wo-
men dare not refuse to buy of the
highest police officer with whom
they came in contact. A trap
had been set for Johnston who
in years past was one of the best
officers of the force. He was
caught red-handed in the act of
selling ring to women of the
town and his arrest followed.
