An Easv Victory.

The wrestling match at the Armory
last Friday evening between PEGGY and
Bucknell of Decorah was so much of a
snap" for PEGGY that it lost interest
as wrestling match and was interest
ing chiefly as an exhibition by PEGGY
of what Bucknell couldn't do when
given every opportunity to get the hold
he wanted.
PEGGY gained the first fall in 81 min
utes. In the second bout Bucknell lost
in little less than ten minutes and
was again pinned to the mat by PEGGY
in eleven minutes.
At the conclusion of the match Pecoy
through the referee, Frank Hall, offered
to Wrestle both Bucknell and Herdman,
agreeing to throw both of them three
times in one hour of actual wrestling,
for the usual division of gate receipts
anc side bet of $50.
Previous to the main event being
called, Ralph Herdman and Frank Rink
occupied the mat. Neither have much
knowledge of the fine points of wrest-
ling, but were evenly matched for size
and strength, and as a result the bout
was very slow and uninteresting, prac-
tically all of the time being spent by
both in watching for an opening.
After As minutes spent without results,
the first bout of the main match was
called. Later Herdman and Rink met
in 2Ominute session that was a repe-
tition of the former performance, and
the match was called draw by mutual
agreement. The only time that either
man was in danger was in the second
bout when Rink secured hammerlock
on Herdman, but they were off the
mat and in regaining their position
Rink failed to follow up his advantage.

SMITH-FLAHERTY- the Church of
Our Lady of Lourdes, Lourdes, Iowa,
April 27, 1909, Mr.. P. H. Smith and
Miss Mayme Flaherty were united in
marriage.
While the wedding march was being
rendered by Miss Susie Urban, the bri-
dal party marched to the altar, where
the vows were spoken during nuptial
high mass celebrated by Rev. Father
Norris.
The groom was attended by his
brother, Mr.. Jos. Smith and the bride
by her cousin, Miss Loretta Conroy of
Minneapolis.
The bride was becomingly attired in
white and the groom wore the conven-
tional black. Following the ceremony,
the bridal party returned to the home
of the brides mother, where sumpt-
uious wedding breakfast was served,
after which Mr.. and Mrs. Smith left

A Good Law.

During the closing days of the re-
cent General Assembly, a law was
passed requiring town and city coun-
Gals to publish monthly minutes of their
proceedings, together with the list of
bills allowed and the funds on which
the orders are drawn
There is a universal demand for full
publicity of the expenditures of public
money, and our criticism of the bill is
that it should have gone farther and re-
quired the publication of the proceed
ings of the school boards
of the large independent dis
tricts, together with an itemized ac-
count of expenditures. Five men con-
stituting school board dispose of
hundreds and thousands of dollars and
the Taxpayers have no knowledge of
where it goes and for what it is paid.
save condensed annual statement by
the Secretary which often is published
in but one newspaper, instead of giving
1T the widest publicity possible.

OBITUARY.

David Buchanan was born in Ireland.
County Antrim, Dec. %, 1916, and died
April q, 1909, at Monticello, Mimi,
being 63 years 3 months and 27 days
old.
In 1S48, his parents came to America
and located for time in New York
state. In 1865, fascination for the
frontier brought them to Wisconsin and
they made home in Dane County, 20
miles from Madison.
At the age of 26 years, David. in
young manhood, glowing with ambition,
energy and romance ventured farther
west and located in Howard County,
Iowa, near Cresco. Here his full man.
hood was spent for a period of "a years.
Dec. II, 1879, he was married to
Evelyn Ives. One daughter, Florence,
was born of this parentage and on Nov.
IL, 1884, the mother died. Four years
later Mr.. Buchanan married Mrs Elvy
Phillips who died Jan. %, 1889. On
May IL, 1891, he was again married to
Mary Jane Webster.
About three years ago Mr.. and Mrs
Buchanan left their Iowa home and
moved to Monticello, Mimi, where
relatives had previously located.
In 1892, Mr.. Buchanan was converted
and joined the M. E. church at Bonair,
Iowa. His natural temperament was
joyous and generous one and he looked
upon this world as a glad, bright,
glorious place. After his conversion
his faith in the future was upward,
trusting and always hopeful. He has
been constantly in touch with church
and Sunday school work and his life
was consistent with his profession. To
him this seeming end of life is only the
beginning of an outgoing into greater
fullness of life in the eternity beyond.
His wife, daughter, two brothers and
five sisters survive him.
CARD OF THANKS.
For the help. sympathy and floral
offerings of friends in the sickness and
death of our husband and father, we
| shall ever be grateful.

Not the Only Cold Spring.

The extremely cold and backward
spring we are experiencing makes a
comparison with former backward
springs quite interesting, especially as
we hearit so universally remarked that
this is the coolest spring ever exper-
fenced here. Commencing in 1893, B.
F. Davis has kept yearly record of
the most notable weather conditions
and we believe the following extracts
from that record will be interesting
just now:
April 19-Rained all day and turned
into snow and for three days was a
perfect blizzard, nearly as bad as any
storm of the winter. Sleds were used.
April 23-Sunday was fine day;
snow about eight inches deep and some
deep drifts.
April 2S- SHOWED again and had to
shovel the sidewa lks.
/. May = Showing thick and fast.
Many farmers have not put in any
crops at all
May 8-Plapted potatoes and Satur-
day, the 18th, planted sweet corn and
peas.
A later entry in this year: "Corn was
very good on the wet prairies."
1907.
April-A very cold and dry April.
Freezing hard every night so that farm
ers could not work during forenoons.
May 27-Ice on water this morning.
1908.
April 27-A cold rain and some snow
froze quite hard.
May 2-Still cold; has been freezing
every night for week.

beautiful blue suit and wore light
blue hat to match. She was attended
by Miss Myrtle Kane The groom was
attended by Mr.. Dennis Tierney.
after the ceremony at the church
reception was held at the home of the

wedding breakfast was served.
MIR. and Mrs. O'Donnell were given
many beautiful and useful presents,
among them being several pieces of
Haviland china, several sets of silver

BRIDES father presented her with
check for 500.
The happy couple will go Immediate
ly to housekeeping on the j. E. Roche
farm west of town.
The bride, the only daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. D. B. Cole, is a charming
ing young lady who enjoys wide ac-
quaintance in this section. Since the
close of her work in the Elma high
school she worked at the switch board
in the local Office of the Northern Iowa
Telephone Co., and was an efficient,
obliging operator. She is thoroughly
trained in domestic duties and will
make an ideal helpmate to her husband.

NOT MUCH ACCOMPLISHED
The Bad Weather Last Week Re.
tarded Work in the Contest
Now for the Gold Watch.

The slump" which would naturally
follow the work of the contest for the
$40 prize, was greatly aggravated by
the wretched weather which prevailed
all last week and which prevented the
most willing workers from getting out.
The result is plainly shown in the
vote given below. Only three of the
contestants show any gain.
With the return of fair weather the
girls will get at work again with all
the old activity and the votes will con-
tinue to pile up.
We rather have the joke on the girls,
for during the past week we have ad-
ded as many new subscribers as were
turned in by the girls, all of them com
ing in and subscribing voluntarily. We
tell this for two reasons, first, to show
the girls that the Plain Dealer is a
popular paper to work for; secondly,
that the field to work for new subscrib-
ers is full of good prospects.
The gold watch to be given to the
girl turning in the most votes on back
subscriptions is on exhibition at Glenn
mer's and several of the girls are
planning to wear it after May 18th. Re
member, it is the best hustler who will
wear 1T, so get to work. Every con-
testant is practically on an even footing
in the contest, and the girl who has
not single vote stands just as good a
chance to win this elegent prize as the
one with thousands of votes.
No girl can earn gold watch in any
other way with two weeks work, and
the prize is worthy of your best efforts.
The last count shows the following

A Butcher Shop Fire.

Last evening at about $50, fire
was discovered in the rear end of the
seco nd story of the building occupied
by the Goettel meat market. Although
the roof was ablaze when the firemer
arrived, it took but few minutes to
extinguish the fire.
AS the fire did not reach the lower
floor and the fresh meat was all in the
cooler, the meat market is open fo,
business as usual. Practically all the
damage is to the building, owned by
John Jackson, whose loss is covered by
insurance.

David Buchanan, who was stricken
with paralysis while working in the
field of his son-in-law Mr.. Moshier,
Wednesday afternoon, April 2lst, died
on Tuesday at 2 p. m.
1t was the writer's good fortune to
have known him for nearly three years,
ever since he came to Monticello from
his home in Iowa. We knew him but
to esteem him as the years rolled on,
To-day, we miss his kindly smile and
friendly greeting. We long in vain to
hear the ring of his laughter and to
feel his genial presence.
He was a devoted husband and a
most loving father, to his sisters a
tender brother and to his friends the
soul of friendship. He believed in the
fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man. He believed that the man
who scatters flowers in the pathway of
his fellow men, who lets into the dark
places of life the sunshine of human
sympathy and human happiness is
following in the footsteps of the Master
of which he was true follower.
His cheerful, helpful life, his devotion
to his wife and daughter and his kind
ness to everybody will long linger as a
fragrant memory in the home which his
presence frightened.
His life was gentle, but like the still
water it was deep. In his heart of
hearts he carried those he loved and
his hands were never weary, his steps
never failed in caring for and minister
ing to those who were dependent upon
him.
Simple prayer service was held at
the home of his daughter Mrs. Moshier,
Wednesday afternoon, which was
attended by his brother Odd Fellows.
His remains were taken to Cresco, Ia,
to-day, where they will rest in the old
home cemetery beside relatives and
friends. May Gods Angels guard his
slumbers. How sweet a life was his,
how sweet death!
Living to wing with mirth the merry hours,
Dying to leave memory like the heath
Ofsummer, full of sunshine and flowers.
A grief of gladness in the atmosphere.
Besides devoted wife and daughter.
he leaves five sisters, two brothers and
scores of friends. We can only remind
them that he is not dead, he is only
asleep resting after long and well
spent life here. He cannot and would
not if he could return to US; we can, if
we will, go to him. Behind the storm
cloud always turks the rainbow, and
when the storm is past it weeps upon
the flowers of the land and the pearls
of the sea. Darkness precedes the
dawn and out of the blackness of night
comes the dawn and the sunshine and
joy of the day. and we can truly say
''all is well with him. Monticello
