state chairman of Irish Literature for
Iowa. by President Malloney of Coun-
Gil Bluffs, and through him the Irish
history has been introduced in St.

AGED EDNA MAN
ENDS HIS LIFE
8. J. vertner, Of Edna, Mo-, Swallows
Poison, Then Uses
Shot Gun.

EDNA, Mo-, April With the
shadows of old age upon him, and
sickness in his household, B. J. Vert
ner, well-known and respected citi-
zen, sought solace In death yesterday
morning. His means Of taking his
own life were terrible.
First Vertner swallowed a large
amount Of carbolic acid, but it was
in diluted form and did not act as
swiftly as similar quantity of the
unadultreated poison would. Instead
it threw the man into commissions of
terrible agony, the cause of which
was not at first known. During a
period of comparative peace between
ccnvulsions, vertner seized shot gun
and, with it, completed the work of
self-destruction.
vertner was II years of age.

1t may well be said that Father P.
N. McDermott who leaves Keokuk
suddenly on this sad mission. is the
most popular assistant priest who
ever stepped within the doors of st.
Peters Catholic church and the par
ish house. He has gained numbers Of
friends by his jovial manner, striking
personality and oratorical ability. His
many good stories have been heard on
numerous occasions and his talks are
always refreshing and good Father
McDermott Won home in the hearts
of the entire congregation of st. Pc
ter's Catholic church and his pres
ence was always desired at a church
function of any kind. He is priest who
will be missed, especially by the peo-
pie he came In contact with day after
day. For many months he has been
under the scholarly guidance of Rev.
Father O'Reilly, pastor of ST. Peters
church, and has profited well by the
guidance of this we'll known priest.

Father McDermott seemed to be
completely wrapped up in his church
and in the Ancient Order of Hiber-

in Ireland, ever jealous in his effort
to promote and advance Ireland among
the descendants of that race, he re-
tanned his patriotism in leaving his
native land. After carefully laying
plans for the reorganization of the di-

through in consummate manner and

Moving Day

MoViHS Lay
Today was moving day with the cat
family.
The mother came trotting into the
office of the superintendent of the
poor with one small squirming kitten
in her mouth and deposited it in the
corner.
The superintendent carried the kit
ten back to the closet, but the mother
cat brought it back again, SO he saw
that further resistance was useless,
and arranged some papers and a box
and permitted the whole family to be
brought into the room, where 1t is now
enjoying life and being given much
attention by everyone in the court
house.
The mother is very proud even
though she is aconnty charge,
and seems to appreciate all the kind
remarks made about the handsome
appearance of her five babies.s
In few weeks, the superintendent
will have cats to give away to the poor
Of Keokuk who are unable toesecure
them in any other manner. Applica-
lions should be fled early to avoid the
rush.

child there. Permission was given
and she departed, returning soon with
the other children.
None of the children had rtitch Of
clothing on them excepting the cover

DIR. George Rubel returned yesterday
from Iowa after an absence Of about a
month. He was called there by the
sudden death of his father and re-
manned some time longer than he had
intended to. The estate had to be set

better to remain there and close every

account of floods and other conditions
it took him ten days to get home.

anything but pleasant. He found the
heat much more oppressive than il
is here and is glad to get back to Ari

is of it, is dry and pleasant. Crops,

popular with the church going people
The services are held at the public
school grounds where a stage has been

Cheek preached a strong sermon Sun

paid particular attention to the man
who fails to observe the sabbath as it
should be observed, but devotes a por-

several in the congregation, who per

use of it. 1t took all of Friday night
to convince Mr.. Devine that that was
so and Saturday morning the party,
this time including Mr.. Devine, start

Deafness Cannot Be cured

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

tanned you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-

unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
