DONNA YERMILYA DIED
At Her Home At Trinidad, Colorado,
On Sunday, November 4, 1909.
Inferred in Audubon, Saturday

In June, 1909, Mr.. Fred Vermilys,
wife and daughter, Donna, journeyed
to Trinidad Colorado hoping that the
mild climate of that region would be
beneficial to the health of their child
whose health had been none of the
best .or sometime. For many days Miss
Vermilya seemed to improve and
their hopes OF gradual and perma-
nent cure were correspondingly high
only to be dashed to pieces in few
short days. Mr.. Vermilya recently
purchased business at Trinidad. On
the night ofiSaturday, November 6, 90
Mr.. Vermilya departed for Trinidad
to pay visit to his family. Sunday,
November, Z, 100, Miss Donna attended
church in Trinidad, went to the post
office and stood in line for some time
waiting for the mail, later in the day
went out for ride and said she felt
better than she had for sometime. In
the evening Mrs. Vermilya and her
daughter retired and soon drifted
away TO sunderland andlremained in
that state until about 4:3O q. m. Mon
day when Mrs. vermilya was awake.
ned by Donna calling to her saying
that she thoughtthere was blood upon
her lips. Mrs. Vermilya hastily arose
and lit the gas and went to the tele-
phone to call the doctor who lived
close by but could not remember the
DOCTORS number so turning to her
daughter she asked her what the
number was and her daughter told
her in distinct tone and those were
the last words Miss Donna ever spoke
for when her mother turned from the
telephone and went to her daughters
bedside she was horrorstruck to find
that her spirit had fled as in the twin.
king of an eye.
Her death came as crushing blow
to Mrs. Vermilya from the fact that
Mr.. Vermilya did not arrive in Trini-
dad until three hours after the demise
of his daughter; and the only person
in the house with Mrs. Vermilya was
aSwedish girl who could speak but
little English.
The body was prepared for burial
and the sorrowing parents started
for Audubon with the remains and ar.
rived here Wednesday a. m. and taken
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. II. w.
Wilson. The funeral was announced
for Friday but Mr.. and Mrs. Erich
Won Gruddenbrack in whose home
Miss Boana Vermilya died in Trim
dad, were not here but were
somewhere on the ocean returning
from Europe So Mr.. Vermilya tele.
graphed to the port at New York for
them to hasten to Audubon to attend
the funeral. They at New York iu
turn sent a wireless message out to
sea telling them Donna Lee Vermily
was dead and they answered from the
ship that they would come !as fast 90
steam could bring them and Mr.. Yer
milya received that message here in
Audubon. They arrived in Audubon
Saturday morning. Rev. Macintosh
of Storm Lake conducted the services
and the body was laid away in the
Arlington Heights Cemetery.

If you are looking for health, wealth,
peace of mind, happiness and content
ment come to this country of flowers
and fruit, to this climate of purest ozone,
where the rose bud tints of health will
ever adorn your children's cheeks, and
where the plague of epidemics and ma
laria are unknown.
Let us sell you a farm in this richest
valley in America on terms so easy that
you will not miss the money, and give
you home in the coming Queen City
of the Rio Grande. You can own your
own home and till your own land, and
your payments will be much less than
you are now paying in rents, and when
you get to tilling land that will produce
three or four crops in a year, you will
find that your earnings will be much
greater than they ever were before.
Come to this land bounded by that
majestic river famous in song and his
tory as the ''Nile of America which has
for centuries carried it's fleet and ex-
haustless flood of waters unchecked to
the sea. The exhaustless waters of this
famous river have been allowed for CEN
turtles to flow unchecked through the
richest belt of fruit and truck land on
this continent, and only within recent
years has it been turned into vast irri
CATION artery. This happy thought is
what has transformed this once barren
delta into the Eden Of the continent,
and the greatest fruit and truck produc
ing section in the whole known world.
We are nearly two thousand miles
nearer the great markets of the world
than is California; our climate is equal
to hers in every respect; our soil is vast
ly superior, and we are at the door of
the great Panama Canal. This is why
the eyes of the world are turned on the
famous Rio Grande Valley, and it &C
counts for the flood tide of immigration
that is turned this way and it is why
land values are soaring skyward every
day. TX.
A word to the wise is sufficient. We
will not be- able to make this extraordi-
nary offer in six months from this date.
1t behooves every man who has an am
bition to better his condition to read
carefully this ad, think over it we'll, and
then act

THE SESSION BILLS.

Representative Season. of Mississippi
in Congress has introduced three inn
portant bills. The first has for its OBJ
ject the taxation of the manufacture and
sale of deadly weapons. All of the
States in the Union make it violation
Of the law to carry concealed weapons.
From this bill he expects the lawless
will pay into the treasury 100000 per
annum, and will enable the government
to remove that amount of taxation from
the necessities of life
The second bill is to prevent frauds
from being practiced in prohibition
states by those who obtain revenue
licenses from the United States under
assumed names and sell alcoholic, vim
Gus, spirituous and malt liquors contrary
to the laws of the State and thereby are
able to avoid detection.
The third bill is for the purpose of
paying the rural mail carriers 500 a
month for their services. The rural
carrier must furnish his own horse and
buggy and pay the expense of maintain
ing the same.

DEPENDENTS AND CRIMINALS
Doctor Thinks Medical Men Should B.

New York. March 23.-Medical men

said in part:
"Physicians should have the author

fit citizens 1t is time for the medical
men to have close associations with
others besides the druggist and the

ers is coming. Much of the mystery
which has surrounded medicine has
already disappeared and the rest is
fast disappearing. The community
should realize that in its medical men

perts in whose hands is to be found
the solution not only Of questions NJ
health, but of questions of the general
welfare and prosperity of the com
