morning to hear of the death of
Henry Dirks, one OF the prom
inent and prosperous west side

home that morning at 40. as q
result of rheumatism and dropsy OF
the heart. Deceased was about
thirty FIVE years Of age. and had
resided in Clarence township for
about eight years. coming to this
county from Nebraska. He had
been a successful farmer and
stock raisers since settling 10
this county. Aboutsix years ago
he married Miss Minnie Ummen.
of Clarence township, who With
two small children are left to
mourn bis loss. Mr.. Dirks was a
man of good habits and reputation.
and was we'll liked by all who know
him. His death at such an early
age will be especially regretted BY
bis many friends. who unite with
US in extending to the sorrowing
ones our sincere sympathy. The
funeral was held on Wednesday
afternoon at o'clock q the Ger
man Lutheran church in Rush

their neighbors, country people
are following their city cousins

certainly add much to our happi-
ness if we might be a little more

Not only should the young peo-

more refreshing to the worn and
worried mother of the family
than to get away from the house
for few hours, and enjoy the
society of others outside her fam

For real creature comfort though,

A speedy operation.

While with pain was putting;

Perhaps you'd like some stuffing.

And on the bed did founder;
