The comic picture post card
has become. for the most part. a
disgusting nuisance.
The manufacturers and vendor
OF these goods pander to the de-
PRAYED tastes OF the vulgar and
the viscious, and are instrument
tai In corrupting the innocent.
There are on exhibition In some
of the stores and show windows
samples OF post cards which, II
not obscene In the legal sense,are
grossly. immpdest and should
bring the blush OF shame to the
faces OF those who offer them for
sale.
For the love and reverence
they bear their wives, their chill
dren and their sisters, these
merchants should keep such
trash away from their places OF
business. But when the serious
harm these cards may do to the
innocent passer-by. to the pur-
chaser. to the one receiving them
and most Of all to gulleless and
defenseless children IL considered.
these men should pause and re-
fleet on their responsibility.
According to the law Of God. a
man Is responsible for the sins he
causes Others to commit by his
misconduct.
Now these immoral cards are
the occasion OF the viscious and
depraved INDUCING In obscene

chance Of success by about TWEEN
ty-two times. while q college ed

AGED LADY FOUND
DEAD IN A CHAIR
SAD ENDING OF LIFE OF MRS.
WILHELMINA THIEMkE,.
Discovered Cold in Death at Her
Home Yesterday Morning BY a
NGighbOr-Evidently Dead For
Some Time-R6sided Alone on
North Ninth Street.

Mrs. WiInelmina Thieml1e of lis
Moth Ninth street, widow of the late
William Thiemke, passed away some
time during Monday night under cir
cumstances very pathetic. 1t was not
till yesterday morning that the dis
covery of the death of the aged lady
was made. Mrs. Frank Ruepke.
neighbor, residing at lly North Ninth
street, had known that Mrs. Thiemke
Was not enjoying very good health.
Yesterday morning, the neighbor, not
noticing any signs of life about the
humble home, decided to investigate
and was shocked to find the old lady
cold in death reclining in chair.
The sad feature of the affair is that
Mrs. Thiemke lived alone with no one
to administer to her needs in her last
hours-no relatives in the city to give
her comfort and cheering words in the
last hours. 1t is case that appeals
to the hearts of a great majority of
those who are familiar with the cir
cumstances. Medical aid was
summoned to the home. 1t was
the belief that the lady had been dead
for several hours when the discovery
was made and that ner demise was due
to the inhrmlties of old age and pneu-
monia, as she had been suffering with
bad cold. Relatives have been in
formed of the death and are expect
ed to arrive in the city today to ar
range for the burial. The deceased
was a native of Germany and was
seventynlne years of age. She WIS
one of the pioneer residents of Wat
ertown, having resided here for many
years. Announcement of the time
of the funeral will be made later.

DEATH CALLS MRS,
WILLIAM D|ETzEL
Town of WdtertOWn Lady
Summoned Without Warn
ing Yesterday.
(Trom Sundays Daily.)

Mrs. william Dietzel of the town
of Watertown, residing on the Coffee
road, about five miles from the city,
passed away very suddenly about 8
O'Clock yesterday morning, tthe cause
of death being due to heart failure.
Mrs. Dietzel was engaged in per-
forming her household duties when
the final summons came. The lady
had prepared breakfast for the family
and mi liked the cows just before her
demise occurred. AS she was engaged
IN cleaning the milk SEP arator, Mr..
Dietzel remarked that he would retire
to the yard and split some wood. The
gentleman had been there but couple
of minutes, when his daughter raped
on the window, summoning him into
the house, but ON his arrival there the
grim reaper had performed it's work
and life was extinct. The strange
feature of the sad occurrence Is that
Mrs. Dietzel had always enjoyed good
health and had not been subject to
heart failure. The deceased is we'll
known in this section and possessed
many friends, all of whom extend their
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
family in their sad affection. The
departed was daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Linnes of the town of
Watertown, IN which township Mrs.
Dietzel was born about forty ne
years ago. Her husband is we'll
known resident of the town in which
he lives and for many years has
acted as town clerk, which office he
holds at the present time.
The deceased is survived by the
widower and four children, the oldest
twenty and the youngest four years
of age. The funeral will probably
be held next Wednesday.
