mas recently been compiled by the
State Historical Society of Iowa. In
this list have been included names
of writer's who were either born in
Iowa or have lived here long enough
at some time during their lives to be
legitimately called Iowans. While the
list is doubtless far from complete
it contains the names of nearly seven
hundred Iowa authors. with the
titles of the books they have written.
Almost every imaginable subject,
from the simplest child's story to the
most complicated problem of philoso-
ply, has been written upon by Iowa
authors. In the realm of fiction there
are many well-known names. Emer-
| son Hough, Eleanor Hoyt Brainerd,
Alice French, Ellis Parker Butler,
Herbert Quick, and many others were
born in Iowa; while Hamlin Garland,

little or no attention to it, until the

"Not knowing what was my main

AN EASY AND HARMLESS WAY TO
DARkEN THE HAIR.

Who does not know of the value of
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, glossy and in good condition?
AS matter of fact, sulphur is natur-
al element of hair, and deficiency of
it in the hair is held by many scalp
specialists to be connected with
loss of color and vitality of the
hair. Unquestionably, there is no bet
ter remedy for hair and scalp troubles
especially premature grayness than
sage and sulphur, if properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company, "a
Cortlandt St, New York City, put up
an ideal preparation of this kind, call

OBITUARY.

MUssER. Mary Jane Wolf was born
at VOLTS store, Center county, Penn,
May IL, 1855. When a girl she availed
herself of all the privileges of the pub
lie schools at that place and later took
a course in a normal school, At the
age of sixteen she was confirmed in the
Reform Church. She remained a mem
ber of that denomination until her re-
moval to Ladysmith, when she united
with the Congregational Church at this
place. She was united in marriage to
W. J. Musser on December 25, 1877.
Soon after their marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Musser moved to Illinois, making their
home in Orangeville. In 1904 Mr.. and
Mrs. Musser with their two daughters,
Miss Grace and Mrs w. F. O'Connor
moved to Ladysmith, their present
home.
During the past two years Mrs. Mus
ser has been in failing health. The
past six months she has been a con-
slant sufferer Mrs. Musser had a
large circle of friends, and those who
were most intimate with her can testify
to her beautiful spirit. The esteem in
which the deceased was held was mani
fest during her sickness. She was a
great lover of flowers and those were
bountifully provided for her For
these expressions of esteem she always
manifested the deepest appreciation.
She was cheerful, patient sufferer
One cannot think of her being dead,
she ''sleepeth. > She quietly slept
away and at noon Monday she woke
up in Heaven. She leaves a rich and
fragrant memory. The sympathy of
the whole community goes out to her
devoted husband and loving daughters.
Funeral service was held at the home
Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Thomas
Barker officiating, and the interment
was made in Riverside cemetery. A
quartette sang two of her favorite
hymns, abide With Me" and asleep
in Jesus. The casket was literally
covered with most beautiful flowers,
some of which were contributed by the
Bethany Sisters, of which she was a
member. The beautiful and spacious
home was crowded with friends. Geo.
and Henry O'Colnor, of Eagle River
and Rhinelander respectively, brothers
Of DR.. O'Conner, were present at the
funeral.

DEVELOPMENT OF
NORTH WISCONSIN
Report of State Etoard OF immigration
Cites importance OF Advertising
Resources OF Grassland

Ir the first biennial report of the
State Board of immigration, A. d.
Campbell, immigration commissioner,
emphasizes the benefits to the state as
as whole which will follow the develop
ment of the natural resources of Nor
thern Wisconsin.
"There are probably 10000, 900 acres
of unoccupied agricultural lands in the
northern half of the state" says Mr..
Campbell can increase in value of
$50 an acre would add $500, 000, 900 to
the states valuation. A tax of one
half of-one per cent. on this increased
valuation would amount to 81, 500, 600,
and the above is but fraction of the
increased wealth to come from the de-
velopment of the northern counties.
''The water powers, which abound
on every northern river, will, if electric
transmission to other states is avoided,
result in building cities and towns in
our own state and furnishing them
with extensive manufactures and other
sources of wealth. In fact, it is prob
able that the value of our northern
water powers, when fully developed,
will prove an incalculable benefit to
the state and be rapidly advanced by
its early agricultural development.
"There prevails in both the older and
undeveloped portions of the state vast
deposits of building and ornamental
stone which will some day add wonder
fully to the industrial activity and
wealth Of the state. That there are de-
posits of material for the manufacture
of Portland cement is also practically
certain.
The report opens with discussion of
the work accomplished by advertising
the state to homeseekers. There have
been published, up to the present time,
As, 900 copies of an English pamphlet
explaining Wisconsin's resources and
opportunities. 10000 each in Nor
wegian, Polish and Bohemian, and 100,-
600 of various other leaflets. There
have been distributed $4,000 copies of
the map of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Campbell declares an effort has
been made to get the people who were
about to leave Wisconsin to take up
western lands, to take up the unoccu-
pied lands in Wisconsin. The commits
sion spent $6,5O8.71, or $491.28 less
than the appropriation, in the eleven
months ending on June 80, 1908, and
the report declares an increase in the
appropriation would insure more effec-
tive campaign"
