He has always been noted as an ex
cellent landlord. He has kept up his
and we have often heard
the expression from his tenants that
no kindlier and more considerate land
lord could be found.
A few years ago he met with SER
ious accident while getting off of a
train in Missouri, and since that time
he has been obliged to use crutches.
Mr.. Laub is a sick man but his
friends hope that he will yet again be
about. His life has been a remark
able one and perhaps no other one
man has made such strong and wig
orous impress upon the life of Den
ison and of Crawford county. We
are glad to pay this tribute to him
and hope that he may be able to read
these words which but partially voice
the esteem in which he is held bv the
people of the city for which he has
done SO much. It is our hope that he
may live to celebrate more birthdays
surrounded by loving friends and re-
latives and secure of high place in
the affections of the community.

Il. c. LAUB CRAwFORDS BEST KNOWN
PIONEER IS EICHTY.FOUR
ALL HIS LIFE AN ACTIVE one
For Fifty -Four Years He Has Been A Promi-
neut Factor in the Business, Social and
Religious Life Of Denisoa

On Sunday, April 18. Hon. H. c.
Laub celebrated his eighty. fourth
birthday. For the first time for many
years he was not able to be about
having suffered an attack but short
time ago from which he has not fully
recovered. Mr.. Laub has lead re-
markable career in this community.
For many years he was one of our
leading. most influential and wealth
lest citizens. With approaching age
has come retirement from active busi-
ness, but still, until few days ago
his face was a familiar one on our
streets and he attended to many Of
the details Of his business personally,
while at the Methodist church it has
almost seemed that services could
not begin without his presence.
Mr.. Laub was the Merchant Prince
of this part Of Iowa fifty years ago.
He had. besides his big store here,
branch stores at Deloit. Smithland,
Carrollton, Galland's Grove, West
Side, Harlan. Buffers Mill, Dunlap
and Correctionville. His first stock
of goods was brought by wagon from
Cedar Rapids and his greatest feat of
merchandising was when he shipped in
a carload of dry goods and groceries
by express. getting them here just in
advance of billiards. that closed the
Northwestern for the winter. Dur
ing these days Mr.. Laub was one of
our most generous. liberal and enter
prising citizens. He had a genuine
passion for giving and he has given a
good sized fortune to religious, charit-
able and other helpful enterprises.
Among other things Mr.. Laub has
been great builder. He has had
faith in Denison's future and he
bought lots and built houses all owe,
town. He contracted buildings ant
'erected the city hall and the tMcKin
hall, both of which stand as examples
of honest contracting.

MRS. Kate Mallory johnson has re-
turned from Ferguson, Marshall coun-
ty, where she was called by the death
of her husbands mother. In another
column we give notice as to the re-
markable life of the deceased. Her
mind dwelt to the end ON what her
husband would do after her death.
They had been constant companions
for sixty years, and she, being the
younger was ever solicitous for the
comfort OF her hubsand. 1t often
happens that elderly people drift apart.
but with Mr.. and Mrs. johnson the
years but seem to draw them nearer.
They were certainly two of the saints
of earth. Father Johnson will make
his home with his daughter. Mrs.
Merriman, who resides ON farm
north of Marshalitown He ia {
noble, Christian gentleman, his life
and example have been an inspiration
to hundreds of young men.

spoke most feelingly in reply. Re
freshments Of ice cream. cake and cof-
fee were served. Mrs. j. B. Romans,
being present, was prevailed upon to
give two of her readings in the Irish
dialect. Her "Mrs. Casey and the
Telephone" cannot be bettered and
nenison people never tire of hearing
it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Strong were among
the first residents of Vail. in this
county. She is the daughter of DR..
James DeWolf. one of the best men
who came to Crawford county in the
seventies. He was postmaster. JUS
tice of the peace and the friend and
adviser of the people of Vail and vi
cinity for many years. Mr.. Strong
was a Massachusetts soldier in the
Civil War and was wounded fighting
under Grant in the battle of the Wilder
ness. After the war he came west
, and happened to stop at Vail, where he
found his wife. He was the leading
merchant of that town for years.
Later he sold his store and moved
away. For the past two years the
family has resided at Denison. He
now is conducting a general merchan-
disc store at Pilger. Neb.. and was
home assisting in packing the goods
for shipment. Mr.. and Mrs. Strong
are active church workers and most
lovable, consistent Christian people
and have endeared themselves to all
who have grown to know them. The
gathering of their friends on Monday
evening, and the kind words showered
upon them were deeply appreciated by
this most worthy couple, and the event
will ever be a thing of joy to be re-
membered. Their daughter. Miss
Anna May. came from Vail to be pre-
sent. The other daughter, Miss Ellen.
is already at Pilger. The Strong
family leave Denison and the Presby-
terian church here with regret. 1t is
the earnest wish of all that prosperity
may be theirs in the new home.

Martin Saggau who owns the Broad

The building operations and the
closing of the Nielsen House will de-
tract from the street temporarily but
it is expected to blossom out finely
when the new stores are completed.
The closing of the Nielsen House
was real calamity to many. It was
the home for quite number of re-
tired German farmers. They had
jolly afternoons and evenings together
in the Office, visiting, playing cards
and smoking. The closing of the
hotel is real calamity to these men.
There is q fine opening for some one
to do a paying business there and the
Improvement Association should have
no difficulty in selling or leasing the
property. 1t is q well-built, we'll

THE &C" CLASS PROGRAM
The Musical and Literary Members Of the &C
Class in High School Give Program
Friday Evening.

Some of the great events of the
school year are the class programs.
One of these will be given on Fri
day evening of this week at the High
School room. The boys and girls have
been giving much time in practice
and it is expected that the program
will be above the average of this kind.
There is to be singing in chorus and
solo. readings and other things to
amuse and interest. There is small
fee ar the door, but that is only to
keep the room from being crowded
with those who cannot appreciate the
choice things the G. class will give.
Not only to encourage those taking
part, but to hear an excellent pro-
gram we urge a big attendance.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
Arion Church the Scene Of Good Convention Of
Sabbath School Workers

Despite that last Sunday was rainy
and gloomy. there was most profita-
BILE gathering Of people interested in
Sunday School work in the afternoon
at the Congregational church at Arion.
Those going down from Denison
were Prof. Van Ness, Rev. DePree E..
w. Pierce and Chas. K. Meyers.
The full program appears in the Arion
letter. Rev. DePree made strong
point, that from the christian stand,
every child was walking the road to
heaven. or some other place which was
most undesirable. 1t was for the
parents and teachers to determine
what the end of the child should be.
This responsibility cannot be escaped.
The music by the choir and the male
quartette was most creditable to the
singers. Superintendent Stillson was
able to point with pride to y temper
ance pledge signed by seventy five
members of the school. The infant
class room over which Miss Lewis pre-
sides is provided with little red chairs
and sand table. With few strong
people ready to help the Arion Sunday
School is evidently doing good work.
The visitors were given generous hos
pitality in the homes and were well
pleased. The Arlon church has call
ed pastor and hopes to be in full
working order in the near future.

Evans helped on the program material
