Dedham Minister Injured

Rev. w. E. Shugg, pastor of the NJ.
E church of Dedham, was driving into
Harlan from the north and when about
four miles out he met with an accident
that left him with HELPLESS arm. He
was leading a mare behind and hold
ing the rope in his hand. Without
any warning she pulled back in such
a way as to throw his arm suddenly
over backward and tore the muscle
loose. The member was instantly
helpless and Mr.. Shugg experienced
considerable pain in getting to Harlan
where he was treated by DR.. Cook.
Pain continued all night so as to make
sleep impossible and it was after the
second dressing in the morning in
which DR.. Cobb assisted that the suf-
ferer got some relief Rev. Morley
was fortunate enough to learn of the
sufferers identity aud took him 10
charge and made him comfortable at
the parsonage. Harlan American.

JUDGE WHEELER'S OPINION

Retail liquor dealers are having a
sorry time, though in many cases not
nearly so great as the victims of their
traffic. Int large portion of our coun-
try their business is outlawed both by
public sentiment and statutory law.
And every year the sentiment is accu-
mulating strength and the laws are
becoming more stringent. The courts
are more strict in their construction
and All. doubts resolved against the
saloon keeper" In a case out at
Council Bluffs recently Judge Wheeler
issued injunctions against more than
twenty, and in giving his opinion used
the following language:
The law will be strictly construed,
and all doubts will be resolved against
the saloonkeeper in the courts, and he
has no reason to expec I anything else
1t is the policy Of the law, and the
supreme court of the state has time
and again declared it. A strict con-
struction of the law implies that there
can be little room for doubt If the
men desiring to engage in prohibited
business wish to claim the protectisn
of the statute thsy must get clearly
within its terms and leave no room for
question as to whether or not they are
complying

Obituary OF Mr.. John McDaniels Of Extra

Mr.. John McDaniels was born in
Lowell, Maine, August 8, 1915, where
he resided until 1856 when he removed
to Connemaugh, Pennsylvania. In
1863 he left there, going to Warren,
Pennsylvania, where he lived until
1869. He then came west to Atlantic,
Iowa, and engaged in the banking
business. He became a resident of
Extra in 1895 and as a citizen of ster-
ling worth he will be largely missed
here as we'll as in Atlantic.
On November 10, 1916, he married
Julia A. Hamblen of Loyell, Maine,
She was beloved wife and true
helpmeet as we'll a gentle, cultured
lady and christian mother. 1t was but
few years ago that she departed this
life and since that time he had made
his home with his daughter, and SON
in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Delahoyde,
of Extra, Iowa, and it has been such a
home as only loving daughter and
an affectionate son could give. He
was also frequently " At homen with
Mr.. and Mrs. FL. M. Boorman, in
Atlantic, where every mark of love
was rendered him. Six children were
born to this union, four of whom are
living, namely: Mr.. Clinton McDaniels
at Los Angeles, California; Mrs.
Vilona Schnur, Warren, Pennsylva-
mia; Mrs. Mary A. Boorman, Atlantic,
Iowa; Mrs. Elowene Delahoyde, at
Extra, Iowa. He is also survived by
four grand children and three great
grand children.
Mr.. John McDaniels died on April
IA, 1909. AS q father he was devoted,
considerable and affectionate. His
religious convictions were strong, his
ideals high, and his regard for his
fellow men was characterized by that
practical help that is always appreci-
ated. Though he gave much TO church
es and charity very few ever knew of
it for his modesty forbade display.
He united with the Congregational
Fellowship on confession of faith in
1898 and always took very active
part and vital interest in the welfare
OF the church, contributing of his
means to its support. He retained his
mental powers in very marked degree
to the very last aud expressed to his
pastor his faith in God and a perfect
trust in Christ as his personal Savior.
After a long life here he has gone to
enjoy eternal life there
He has gone where loved ones greet him,
And to wait till loved ones meet him.
The funeral services we're conducted
at 10 O'Clock, forenoon, April 10th,
at the Delahoyde home, in Extra, by
the pastor, Rev. William Louis Holly,
b. d., and interment was the family
lot in the Atlantic Cemetery. ~

The Wireless Lecture

The lecture given under the auspices
of the Audubon Boys Club Monday
evening at the Presbyterian church
had much of interest and much that
was new to those who heard 1t. But
the presentation OF it showed such a
lack of enthusiasm and such faulty
enunciation on the part of the lecturer
that what should have aroused great
enthusiasm in the audience was accept
ed as something that was commonpl ace
and OF little interest. He spoke OF
wireless telegraphy by which messages
are carried on the vibrations OF the
air for thousands Of milessin the same
manner that voice is carried from
one person speaking to another. The
transmitter and receiver must be in
the same key so To speak or have the

Madsen were united in marriage by
Rev. j. NJ. Deschamps at five O'Clock
on Easter afternoon, April IL, 1909.
The wedding march was beautifully

made it more impressive. The bride

white silk and carried bouquet of

the ceremony. Soon after the words
were said that made them husband and
wife and congratulations with best
wishes for the happy couple were over

taste was displayed for every phase of

cultured epicure. Mr.. and Mrs Harvey

their good wishes for them. Mr.. Har-
vey is engaged in business here ia the

DID EFFECTIVE WORK

Some of the late Progressive F"
editors are making an effort to belit-
tie the work of the last Legislature and
claim that it was theresult OF not hav-
ing governor to lead and insist that
certain laws should be passed by that
body. And they are blaming Cover
nor Carroll for not taking the initia-
tive and demand certain reforms. In
other words they are disappointed
because the governor attended TO his
own business instead OF applying the
lash to a faction in the assembly in
order to carry forward his own per-
sonal interests. We do believe that
the members elected by the people en-
ioyed the relief from executive domi-
nation and appreciated the opportu-
nifty to do something on their own Volt
ton in favor of the betterment OF the
state. OF thousand bills introduced
over three hundred we're passed and
signed by the governor. The bill Gre
ating the new Educational Board Of
Control, by Whipple, the bills for en-
forcement of the laws, by Cosson, and
the bill for dragging the roads, by
Nichols and Bonwell, are the most
important. The Marshalltown Times
Republican passes the following com
pliment which is we'll deserved:
Now when it is all over, the legis-
lature adjourned and gone home TO
pillow and reap and fix fences, the gen.
eral conclusion will be that it was
Very good leg i stature 1t failed to
do considerable that IL might have
done to the approval of the state, and
that it would have done had leader
developed; it did much OF which the
people who elected it approve, and re-
fused TO do much that would have met
with disapproval. Altogether it was
an excellent body of men in Its per-
sonnet. They could have done more
and done it quicker had there been
less of Individual character displayed
And individuality is an excellent fault
in an assembly 1t is great pity that
this assembly failed to accomplish
somewhat as to revision and change
of taxation laws. The tax on moneys
and credits might well have received
attention and suffered change"

A PLEASANT SURPRISE

Brother Chase of The Atlantic News
says: "There never was time In the
history of the city when desirable
houses to live In were so scarce or any
more in demand than now. Thislspring
there have been more people wanting
houses and unable to get them than at
any time in recent years and there has
also been a decided raise in the price
OF city property over the price OF some
years ago. A number OF sales have
bG en- made where the price paid was
double what the seller paid for the
property. A number of newcomers to
the city, who were unable to find what
they wanted already erected, will build
new places"
This must be very pleasant sur
prise to The News editor. If our memo
ny is correct Brother Chase was great
ly wrought up two or three years ago
when the saloons we're ousted from
Atlantic because he was just sure that
the business houses would be empty,
the residences filed with bats and the
streets be nothing but a COW pasture.

With perhaps two exceptions the Red

1t is one of the few firms In this city
which has permit to use the mails for
penny letters without stamping each
letter. This means that not less than
two thousand letters canbe sent out at
once, which is equivalent to nearly that
many daily, for they must be sent that
frequently or become too old, and this
does not include the hundreds of first
class letters sent regularly.
