Elk Horn

The United Danish Evangelical
Church closed its 18th yearly confer
ence at Elk Horn Iowa, Tuesday,
June Sth. Several thousand people
from all over the United States at
tended. Meetings were conducted in
the Church College building and out
doors by 81 ministers. Meals were
served in 8 big tent which had room

Every available place was used in
kimbsll on and Elk Horn for sleep
ing and eating purposes during the
several DAYS that the visitors were
present More than half of the pop
ulation of Extra and vicinity atten-
ded some time during the meetings
and those who were unable to go feel
as though they missed one of the
grandest intellectual feasts of their
lives. In spite of threatening wea-
ther and bad roads the surrounding
towns were unable to furnish trans
portation to those who wished to
avail themselves of this glorious OPP
portunity. The bus from Extra was
chartered and crowded to it's fullest
capacity which furnished only an
atom of the vast assemblage.
AS the interests and enthusiasm of
the people increased the collections
increased accordingly and people
gave as they had been prospered
Thirty or forty automobiles were
seen on the ground Sunday.
Elk Horn is in the midst of a
prosperous and reliable community,
the people of which have received a
reputation as entertainers second to
none in the state.

GEO. MOREY
Died At His Residence Monday June
9TH Of Cancer OF The Stomach.
Inferred AT Extra.

The entire community was shocked
and distressed last Monday morning
upon hearing of the death of George
Morey at his home in Greeley town
ship. Although his intimate friends
were cognizant of his serious condi,
ton, few thought the end so near.
He has been sufferer since February
last, and was ailing many months
prior to that victim of cancer OF the
stomach. April 10, he sought relief
at the Rochester, Minnesota Santa
rum but after remaining there nearly
two months it was decided by the
eminent surgeons there that the vital
organs were afflicted beyond all help.
Even then he did not become dis
couraged but returned home about q
week before his death and hoped to
be spared to his friends and loved
ones little longer.
| George Morey was born in Du
Page county, Illinois, December IL,
1856 and died at his home in Audu-
bon county June Z, 1909 at the age
of fifty two years, five menths and
twenty two days. He was married
to Miss Elizabeth Banning at the age
of twenty four, and came directly to
nd hox
been respected residents every since,
making him citizen of twenty
eight years standing. Eight children
were born to this union, one
having died in infancy. Three are
married, Mrs. Clair Harvey of Lake
City, Iowa, Mr.. Will Morey Of Guth-
RE Center, Iowa, and Mrs. Lou
Miller of Goodwill, Oklahoma. All
were present during the last sad cere-
monies. His father died at the Morey
home in March, his mother having
preceded him few years previous.
i Three brothers still survive. He has

would be more widely mourn5d

THE MAN ON THE CLAIM.
Manson Democrat.1

The man on the claim is responsible
for whole lot these days He has left
behind his old haunts in the we'll set
tied districts and gone out onto the
praries of the Dakotas, Wyoming,
Colorado, Montana and other states of
the great northwest, which still have a
lure for the land hungry in the shape
of almost boundless domain that is still
unfettered by the leash of the agricul-
turalist, and he has erected his shack
on some friendly hillside on his claim
and settled down to holding it down
until such time as he will be able to
"prove up" on il.
He is responsible for the closed
doors of many a business building in
the smaller towns of the middle west
and the east. His business did not
prosper as it used TO in the earlier
days and he answered the call of the
soil and closed up shop and got a
claim. He is responsible for the high
price of labor skilled and unskilled,
all thru the portions of the country
that were long ago considered "old
settled country" The printer. the
carpenter. the blacksmith, the plumb
err, the bricklayer and the man of
nearly every other trade, as we'll as
the robust farm hand, have all bark
ened to the siren song of the prairie
and gone.
With them they took in many in
stances, nothing but money. Their
food. their clothing. and all other sup
plies must be bought at the nearest
point to their claim. hence their go
ing ont uDOn tha land has preafed a
stupendous demand for the things
they must eat, wear and use. In this
they, as we'll as the tariff, must be
charged up with some of the high
prices which make life come high
nowadays. And the thousands and
thousands of settlers from the United
States in western Canada are respon-
sible with the man on the claim for
the shortage of labor and the wonder
full demand for the things which go
to make life comfortable in the cab
ms and claim shacks. 1t will be some
time Yet before they can begin to pro-
duce enough to swing the pendulum
backward. or before there are enough
young mechanics and laborers and
1 statesmen and business men to COM
pensate the older countries for the
loss in population they have suffered
ever since the man on the claim be-
gan his migration to the prairies.

Curious Properties of Minerals.
Certain minerals exhibit the curl.
GUS optical property known as aster-
ism. That is to say, they show star
shaped figure when light is reflected
from them, or transmitted through
them. This is seen, for example, in
the star stone, sort Of sapphire, and
in the star ruby. A note in Knowl-
edge describes and figures the aster-
ism Of mica. The photograph Of a
lamp taken through plate of mica
shows beautiful six-rayed star. with
six fainter radiations between. Out
wardly star mica resembles the ordi-
nary form and shows the same phe-
nomena under. polarized light. When
examined under the microscope, how.
ever, the star mica Is found to con.
tain fine needles of another mineral,
and these are regularly arranged at
angles of 1870 degrees. To these nee.
dies the star seen by transmitted light
is due.
