Death has again paid our village a
visit and called Miss Jane E. Sage,
Wednesday, Oct 81, 1909, at the age
OF 20 years, 6 months. She was born
at Cleveland, Yorkshire, England,
coming with her mother to America
during February of 1898, where they
joined the husband and father at Bea-
con, Mahaska county. Three years
ago they moved to Sewers. From
childhood Elizabeth has been sickly,
suffering with heart trouble, and the
last year of her life has been one OF
great pain. A complication of dis.
eases set in and she was called home.
She leaves father, mother, sister and
brother to mourn. She had been a
faithful worker in the Rebekah and
Pocahontas lodges, the members of
which attended the funeral in body.
-Four little girls carrying flowers pre-.
|ceded the procession to the miners
hall, .whree the services were held.
Rev. e. A. Eastman OF the NJ. E.
church read the Scripture lesson and

work acted as pail bearers. '..

The Wedding BuffoOn.

The spirit which makes wedding an
occasion for rnde practical joking and
boisterous horse play has long caused
the judicious, even those who are en-
bowed with sense of humor, to grieve.
Why should man and woman who have
just taken upon themselves relationship
momentous in the eye OF the law and Sa-
cred in that of religion, be regarded as int
subjects for annoyance and persecution
at the hands of their friends and neigh
bors? And why, above all, should it he
thought funny TO annoy and perSecute
them ?
Not infrequently serious injury has re-
suited from the rough antics of the we'd
ding clowns, who are, of course, too ill
bred TO consider anything so intangible as
the dignity and happiness Of their unfor-
tunate victims.
But cheering intelligence comes from
Kansas. A charivari party in a town OF
that state recently dragged an unwilling
bride and groom up and down the main
street OF the village in an open wagon.
incidentally they ran over a boy and
broke his leg. Now the town must pay
the boy exemplary damages. The Kan
sas Supreme Court has decided that the
exuberant humorists who pulled the wag-
on constituted a lawleSs and violent mob,
which the police officers of the town
ought to have dispersed. That the mob
was "good-natured" and "meant no
harm" does not render the town less liza
BILE for the harm the mob actually did.
So it seems that the law is able effect
lively TO encourage common sense and
decency in this direction. Il the princi-
pies laid down by the Kansas court be-
come generally understood, there will be
less public federation OF this particular
sort of nonsense.

Because your case Is difficult one,

giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial. 1t surely has cured
many cases of female ills, such as in
Hammation, liberation, displacements,
fibroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic
pains, backache, that bearing-down
feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner-
yous prostration. 1t costs but trife

TRAPPING RABBITS.
The Australian Method Of Dealing With
the Pests.

The Australian Method Of Dealing With
the Pests.
Rabbits are the greatest pest the
Australian pastoralist has to contend
against. II these rodents are at all
numerous on q station property, they
do enormous damage to the grass, but
the pest is kept down to the lowest
possible limit In every district Of the
commonwealth at great cost.
The most effective method Of deal
ing with them Is hereunder explained
In summer when any water that
might have been lying about has been
dried up by evaporation and the grass
has become dry rabbits swarm toward
the tanks, dams or other water holes
that have been sunk for stock drink
ing purposes.
Pastoralists take advantage Of this,
and every evening after the cattle
have partaken of their last drink a
strip Of wire netting Is run around the
tank or dam.
Outside this netting fence holes are
dug in the ground and filed with pol
soned water. and these IN turn are In
closed by another strand Of netting,
pegged down to within few inches
Of the ground, being sheep proof, but
allowing plenty Of room for rabbits to
get under.
The rabbits make for the dam; but,
as their way is barred, they drink at
the poisoned holes. with to them disas
trous results.
In the morning are to be seen hun
dreds and thousands Of dead rabbits
scattered about the country. - Mel

Refween Two Fires.

"Lincoln stories" are common, and the
tellers of them are not as accurate in as
pertaining their genuineness as they are
prolific in producing them. The follow
ing tale comes from writer in the Chi
cago Journal, and may or may not be a
"real Lincoln" II is, in any event, a
good story.
Two farm-handS, Lincoln used TO say,
were set upon by huge bull while cross
ing a rocky field One managed to gain a
tree. The other took refuge in hole in
the tree that proved TO have an exit in the
rear.
The man who had chosen the hole was
no sooner in at one end than he was oul
at the other. With below the butt
made for him. He turned and again shot
like lightning through the hole. The bull
once more bore down upon him, and once
more he was in and out of his hole.
This strange pursuit kept up for some
minutes. AT first it mystified the farm
hand up in the tree. Then it angered him.
"Hey," he shouted, "you idiot! Why
don't you stay in the hole?"
The bull was dashing from one end OF
the hole TO the other at great speed, and
the man was bobbing in and out desper-
ateIy. He heard, howeveS, his comrades
shout and found time before his next brief
disappearance TO shout back:
Idiot yerself There's bear in the
hole |"

The Navy Department is about TO erect
tower six hundred feet high in Rock
Creek Park, Washington, as the keystone
of the greatest wireless station in the
world. The tower, which will be built
of concrete, will be fifty feet in diameter
at the base, tapering to eight feet at the
top, and among man-made structures il
will be surpassed in height by three
structures only-two "sky-ScraperS" i'll

BY means OF the new station wireless
messages may be sent across three thou

and TO converse with the navy-yardS on

A writer in the Scientific American says
he has cleared his premises of vermin by
making whitewash yellow with copperas
and covering the stones and rafters in the
cellar withit. In every crevice in which
rat might 60, he put the copperas, and
scattered it in the corners of the floor.
The result was the complete disappear
ance of rats and mice. Since that time
not rat or mouse has been seen in or
near the house. Every spring the cellar
is coated with this yellow wash as puri-
fier and rat exterminator, and no typhoid,
dysentery or fever of any kind attacks
this family. Never allow rats, mice or
anything TO be poisoned in or under your
house, for in doing so you are bringing
trouble on yourself, your own household,
and that of your neighbour

An African and a Boa Constructor

At MGeta, German East Africa, q
native who, like all those belonging to
the tribe Of the Waluguru, regarded
snake flesh as an especial delicacy
found huge boa constructor lying In
the middle of field. He confded the
discovery to one or two others and ar
ranged with them to kill it during the
hours of darkness, so that they might
enjoy the delieacy together. Toward
nightfall the man, armed with n stick,
attacked the huge serpent. The boa
constructor, aroused from Its apparent
torpor, suddenly seized the unhappy
negro and slowly crushed him to pulp
and then gradually swallowed him.
