The funeral of Mrs. Edward EhIers

o'clock. Impressive services were

resting place.
The death of Mrs. Ehlers is sad in
every detail. A few weeks she took Ill
and as her actions showed her at times

a spell, but was entirely cured. Under
these conditions she was taken to the
Longcliffe asylum at Logansport on
Saturday. August o..
On last Saturday, Aug. 81, the fam
| lily were shocked to receive a message
that Mrs. Ehlers had passed away. The
affair was thoubht to have been rather
queer, so at Logansport a post mortem
examination was held which showed
that instead of suffering with insanity
as the local physicians and family
thought the woman was suffering with
| typhoid feved from which she was de-
lirious.
All whiting is shocked by the ex-
tremely sad circumstance, and es-
pecially the husband, who always gave
| his wife the best of care when Ill.
Mrs. Ehlers (nee Bertha Scholz), was
at the time of her death, SO years OF
age.
Her death is mourned by her hus-
| band and three small children, her
mother, Mrs. Augusta Scholz, two sis
tiers, Mesdames Charles Sass and E6
Meissner and one brother, Paul A
Scholz, all Of whom have the sympathy
of the entire community.

US Peterson. the young twirler Wash

Cowboys. which last year toured Iowa
and Illinois. The story is best told by
him:
''This cowboy outfit was organized

was, indeed. a wild aggregation. We
started out in the spring for no place
in particular. and undertook to play

every town he visited. telling them their
ball club was or the blink. and that
he had collection OF convaIescent sub
stitutes that could give them one run
an inning and still beat them.
IF the advance agent escaped MAIN
ing by the outraged populace he sen
orally got a contract for the village
team to play US in the near future. and
the event was billed like a circus. The
consequence of this violent method Of
aTOusing interest was that the people.
of each place were in a receptive mood
when we rolled into the station and we
were likely to get anything from bricks

ing tended TO make us forget the trou-
bles with rural hotels and branch line

But. just as an added attraction, We
had with us the man who gave the
name to the team. He was a sure
