Mrs. Jas. f. NewIin.

Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Jas
and Elizabeth Beavers, was born in
Picquay county, Ohio, Sept. 10, 1852,
and departed this life at her home
near Ingersoll, Okla, September %,
1910, being So years, and 13 days
old.
She emigrated with her parents
in 1858 to Woodland, Decatur coun-
ty, Iowa, where she grew to woman
hood and lived until three years
ago, when she moved. to Oklahoma
for the benefit Of her health. She
was married February Z, 1879 to
Jas. F. Newlin, and to this union
seven sons were born, one dying in
infancy, the other six, Alpha B. ,Chas.
D., Ernest F., Grover H. Ivan j.,
and Kent L., together with the hus-
band, one sister, Mrs. B. A. Rayn,
three brothers, 1. NJ, Jacob L. and
w. Jasper Beavers, are left to mourn
the loss. of dear companion, mother
and sister. Mrs Newlin was con-
verified and joined the A. G.. church,
at Woodland 46 years ago and lived
a beautiful, consistent Christian.
She had endured years of suffering,
but was always patient, never COM
planning and was grateful to all who
cared for her. She will long be re-
membered for her charitable acts
as she always strived to make others
more comfortable, and often left
her couch to minister unto others;
all that medical skill, kind friends,
loving husband and children could
do to alleviate her suffering was of
no avail. The end came peacefully
on last Wednesday evening. A large
concourse of relatives and friends
attended the funeral and followed
1.-The remains to the last resting place,
which speaks for itself the high
lesteem in which she was held in this
community.

AN APPEAL TO VOTERS.

To the Democratic Voters of Iowa:
The democratic state central COM
mIttee desires to impress upon all
loyal democrats at this particular
time the very important fact that a
campaign fund is absolutely neces-
sary in order to conduct a campaign
this year. There is every reason to
believe that the democratic ticket
will be successful in Iowa this year,
but to bring about that success a lib
eral campaign fund must be subscrib-
ed, and that very soon. Handicap
ped, as it is, without funds, the state
central committee cannot do much,
but with campaign fund of the pro-
portions that the democrats of Iowa
should contribute, it's work will pro-
coed with dispatch and with the
brightest prospects of success at the
November election
Therefore, in behalf of the commit
tee, we urge every democrat in Iowa
to send whatever contribution he may
feel able to make IMMEDIATELY
to N. F. Reed, Chairman, Observa-
tory Building, Des Moines, Iowa. 1t
matters not how small your contri-
button may be, it will be thankfully
received and promptly receipted for.
Will you not send in your contribu-
tion TODAY? Help us and we will
help you to victory. Do not lay this
aside and forget it, but ACT AT
NCE! Thanking you in advance
for your contributions we Xemain,
N. F. Reed, Chairman.

STUART'S PERSONAL PLATFORM
OF 1884,

The Advertisements does Mr..
Stuart the honor to publish per-
sonal platform that he formulated in
1894, as his ideas on some of the
fundamental principles of political
economy and parades it as a wonder
full political bugaboo.
Frank Stuart is thinker and a
writer. He has exalted ideas of a
government in which all the people
shall have square deal and an
equal chance in the race of life.
Thomas More, when he wrote
Utopia, the book that made him fam.
Gus, described an ideal government
He did not expect that human govern.
ments would. ever reach any such a
standard.
Tolstoy, the great Russian writer
whom the world admires and hon.
ors, is an idealist. He don't expect
the world to ever reach the high
standard which he so eloquently sets
up.
Harriet Beecher Stoves Uncle
Toms Cabin, was book of fiction
and yet it did more to arouse tho
nation on the question of slavery
than all other agencies combined.
Upton Sinclair's Jungle" is q
work of fiction but it started the wal
on the Beef Trust.
Mr.. Stuart's personal views or
economic questions are not an issue
in this campaign. Mr.. Stuart is the
nominee of the democratic party and
running on the democratic platform
He is advocating democratic princi
pies.
The personal views expressed
fourteen years ago were fully thresh,
ed over at that time. The man who
votes for Frank Stuart votes for him
as the advocate of democratic prin
ciples and not because of any person.
al views he may entertain which are
not now in issue.-Creston Ameri
can.

Democratic Campaign Book.

The Democratic National Congress
siOnal Committee has issued it's
Campaign Book and is now distribut-
ing it. The committee has no funds
save as it obtains them through
contributions and is selling the book
at 81 per copy, or for soc copy in
lots of ten or more
The book is replete with valuable
matter and is said to be the best
Campaign Book ever issued. Every
Democrat should have it and in this
year of Democratic efforts for SUI
premacy should gladly contribute
to the Committee by purchasing the
book. The Committee did valiant
service in Maine with notable results
and if Democrats everywhere will
rise to the occasion, by their dol
lar contributions, the Democratic sun
will rise triumphantly,-not to set
for fifty years to come. Send your
orders or contributions to F. F.

Robert w. Boeger.

Robert Wadsworth Boeger was
born November 26, 1861, died Sep
TENDER 20, 1910, aged 4S years,
9 months and 25 days.
He was the fourth child of Carl
and Anna Boeger, was born near
Davis City, Decatur county, Iowa.
and has been a life long citizen of
Decatur county, except for three
years spent in GAINESVILLE, Harrison
county, Mo.
industrious, active man, reared to
the hard labor of the farm of forty
years ago, he began his self-support
by teaching school at the age of
eighteen and continued in his pro-
fession for twelve years. In 1891
he bought an interest in a general
merchandise store in Grand River,
Iowa, he soon became sole owner
of this stock and through good for
tune and will he continued in this
business until the summer of 1906
when he sold his store in Grand
River and moved to GAINESVILLE, Mo-,
where he was SUCCESSFULLY engaged
in banking until one year ago, when
the desire for the business that had
SO long employed his best time and
energies impelled him once more
to make a change and to re-enter
the mercantile business in Garden
Grove, Iowa
On the first day of November,
1885, he was united in marriage
Abba, Monroe county, Iowa. To
this union were born four children
Mrs. Roy o. Youtz of PALMYRA, Mo-,
the Misses Fern and Freda and one
son Robert Roy, of Garden Grove.
Besides his wife and children,
his mother, two brothers, Richard
of Davis City, Iowa, and Ernest of
Washington, D. c., and one sister,
Mrs. Emma Kline, of Weldon. iowa,
survive him.
One happy memory he has left
to his sorrowing family and friends,
the realization that in May, 1907
he became a christian, and has been
a devoted, faithful follower of his
Master from that time to this. con-
slant in his church duties, honest
and true in his business relations, a
faithful provider for his family and
la friend in whom it was always safe
to put dependence. This devotion
to his God is the ray of hope that
brightens the gloom of sorrow now
and opens to our eyes the blessed
vision of the happy reunion in God
own time.
He was member of the order Of
Free Masons, which had charge of
the funeral services, it being his
oft expressed desire.

THE sTAND-PAT SURRENDER.

Unconditional surrender of old
guard republicans to western insur-
gents after bitter fight in the con-
gressional committee is extremely
interesting.
President Taft and his advisers,
who not long since denied the ex-
istence of any spirit of protest
among western republicans, have
now come to recognize the real con-
dition of affairs and submit to the
inevitable.
The only hope for anything like
a solid line of battle is by combin-
ing stand-pat and insurgent repub-
licans on some compromise basis
The necessity of this combination
has driven standpatters to recant
their denunciations of insurgents and
use every endeavor to persuade them
to get in line.
The gentlemen who were so ready
to read everyone who differed from
them out of the G. o. P. are eating
humble pie with avidity. From all
appearances they will enjoy a full
meal. Chicago Journal.

arrangements that he had saved out
of his firecracker money. On this
he paid 40 per cent tariff tax.
Ethelinda's pride was a little foun-

TAWNEY CAN GO FISHING.

Congressman Tawney stays at
home by request of the republican
voters of his district Mr.. Tawney
is another example of the western
congressman who proposed to be
elected by the people of Minnesota
and vote from Rhode Island. His
district was made the particular
point of the struggle President
Taft came to Winona in full accord
with Tawney. He spoke there for
Tawney giving him the extreme
presidential JUNCTION. All standpat-
ism was behind the Minnesota con-
gresham. If any assistance toward
examining him down the reluctant
throat of his district was neglected
it was because it was forgotten, and
little was forgotten. But Tawney
was badly defeated and elected to
stay at home. Mr.. Tawney blames
it on the democrats. They all do.
1t is about all that is left them to do.
But Tawney and his other congress
ional companions in the misery of de-
feat know better; the president has
learned better. They went down I'M
der movement, were sloughed off
in a process of political evolution.
The voters, are getting rid of class
as bees rid the hive of drones and
moths by singing them to death.
Up about Winona and Wabash is
the finest bass fishing in the world.
Mr.. Tawney can sit in his boat where
the most magnificent view on the
Mississippi curves down from Reed S
landing past Winona to melt into the
blue dimness of distance, he can sit
in his boat among the bass and medi-
tate on how it happened. And many
better man than Tawney would be
content with that He has been in
congress since '92. 1t is time he
and his district have a rest.

Uncle Joe Cannon can be sort
of fairy godfather to the extent of
$1,000, to some worthy philanthropy
of Illinois or Missouri, if he will ac-
cept a proposition now pending.
Uncle Joe recently attributed to
Champ Clark certain statements
about the wooden tariff and Champ
declares that if it can be proven
he ever said what the Speaker says
he said he will give $1,000 to any
charity that may be specified, Uncle
Joe being penalized to the same
extent if he fails to make good. OF
course Mr.. Cannon won't accept
the proposition. His failure to do
SO will not, however, be needed to
convince the public that Mr.. Clark
never said it. The statement of the
Speaker-to-be shows in detail how
the Speaker of the present misrep-
resented him.
