FROM POORHOUSE TO SENATE

The rise Of a man from the lowliest station to
one of the highest In his state is not among the
events that belong exclusively to the past, nor
is it confined solely to the realm Of fiction. John
J. Dunnegan of Shenandoah, Iowa, who has been
elected to the Iowa state senate, passed three
years Of his early childhood as an inmate Of a
North Carolina poorhouse, being left at the age
Of three without either father or mother.
When six years Of age he was bound out to
a family who treated him with the utmost cru
city. Misery and hardship gripped him from the
cradle and robbed him Of all the joys Of child
hood. From the poorhouse, without education,
or aid from others, John Dunnegan has risen

position. He has worked as a section hand on q

THE GRAIN MARKET

Lower prices are the tendency all
along the line. Especially is this true
as to wheat. The legitimate situation,
the supply and demand, as near as
that can be determined at this time does
not indicate higher prices for sometime
to come. The trade is now predicting
95 cent wheat in Minneapolis for Dec
ember, or further drop of 5 cents. This
prediction is largely based on the
liberal receipts up to the present time
and the accumulated stocks which are
considerably more than a year ago.
Also there is at this time no export
demand, no prospect of export demand
in the near future Our visible supply
is in excess of that of a year ago, and
Europeon visible is "a million more
than a year ago. This is a heavy load
when the market is lacking ~specula-
tive interest. All reports ffem foreign
countries are bearish. As we have
said before, that element who have
always deplored speculation in wheat
are now having their innings there
is no speculation at this time, aud it
is probable there will be none until

dition of his brother, l.. H., of Aber-
deem, as the result of a railroad acct
dent near Montevido, Mimi. The in
jured man was shipping stock to the
market and was riding on a stock
train. At Montevide the stock train
had started to back on a siding when
a passenger train ran into the caboose,
overturning it together with two cars
of stock. The caboose burned and
four men were pinned under the
wreck and burned to death. Mr..
Rehfeld was badly injured, a hip
broken, both legs crushed, an arm
broken, and ribs bruised. He was
taken to the hospital at Montevido
where he died Monday afternoon.
Chas. Rehfeld started by first train
after hearing of the accident but got
no further than Bristol, this state,
when a message came telling of the
death of the injured man. Mr.. Reh-
field went on to Aberdeen to remain
until after the funeral which was held
Thursday. Mrs. Rehfeld went up to
Aberdeen Wednesday.

F. V. KuNDERT

The following account of the death
of f. V, Kundert is taken from one of
the papers published at Monroe, Wis.
Mr.. Kundert and family were resi-
dents of De Smet for several years
and were highly esteemed by our peo-
pie. Mr.. Kundert possessed extensive
real estate interests in this locality at
that time and owned several quarters
of land at the time the family moved
back 10 Wisconsin. The many friends
in De Smet and vicinity extend their
sincere sympathy to the bereaved wife
and daughter:
Fridolin V. Kundert died at his
home in this city Sunday morning,
Oct. rs. His death followed an ill
ness of five or six days, although he
had suffered from kidney trouble and
had been ailing for eight years.
Mr.. Kundert was a son of Fridoiin
Kundert, an old resident of New
Glarus who died seven years ago.
The young man was engaged in the
milling and feed business and sold out
to move to this city, a year ago. Since
he came here he had been busy with
the building of a fine residence in the
Gettings addition and recently moved
into the two furnished rooms of a
costly bungalow.
Mr.. Kundert was born November
26, 1874, at New Glarus. He was
married there in 1895 to Miss Elsbeth
Voegeli, a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob Voegeli, of this city. Besides
his wife he is survived by one daugh-
ter aged 8 years, his mother, three
brothers and five sisters
The funeral will be held Thursday
at | 80 o'clock from the house and at
2 o'clock from St. Johns Evangelical
church.
