TerrilI-Ba er.

Mason City Times, Sept 20: One of
the most happy events that has occurred
in this city for long time was the
marriage this afternoon Of Miss Grace
Terrill to Rev. Earl A. Baker Some
two hundred invitations had been ex-
tended to friends throughout the city
and at the announced hour of 80 had
assembled at the First Methodist Epis-
cOpal church where the ceremony was
performed.
Miss Grace Terrill has certainly been
in her young life positive influence in
this community for all that stands for
the good. Her winning ways has
endeared her to very many of the young
people of this community and she has
been given an opportunity to leave this
impress for good upon them. She was
graduated from the city high school,
and from Cornell College. At Cornell
she met Mr. Baker and the friendships
ripened into love and into further fruit
ion of this most happy union. For
several terms she has been teacher in
the Mason City public schools. She is
thorough Christian young lady and
certainly is eminently qualified in heart
and mind to be very helpful pastors
wife.
The bride is niece Of Messrs. Frank,
William and Samuel Terrill of Mineral
Point.

PASSED FROM THIS LIFE
Rev. Thomas Kent.

The following particulars regarding
the death of Rev Thomas Kent have
been sent us from Minneapolis by his
daughter Mrs. Julia Kaye:
He had been failing very perceptibly
in health the past year and the indica
tons were that he might have para
lytic stroke any time and we were in
constant fear for him. His mind was
bright; but we noticed that his memory
was failing and he was Respondent at
times as he seemed to realize his inabil-
ity and unftness to continue his below
ed work. There were SO many oppor-
tunities presented to him which he was
unable to take advantage Of.
He liked Minneapolis very much and
during his short life here supplied a
number of times and made many dear
friends who attended his burial.
We had just moved father and moth
er to a beautiful home quite near ours
on Wednesday, Sept 21, and the follow
ing Friday evening he had severe fall,
which proved fatal.
He was conscious for several hours,
then relapsed into Inconsistencies and
passed to his reward at $50 o'clock
Saturday morning. We do not think
he suffered any pain or realized his con-
dition. This of course is a great com
fort to us.
We had private funeral, only the
family and few friends being present.
There was short service at the home.
The burial service proper was held in the
beautiful chapel at Lakewood cemetery,
conducted by DR.. Dewey, pastor of
the Plymouth Congregational Church.
The children were all present at the
funeral and did all that loving children
could do.
We miss him sadly but his holy life
and noble work is rich legacy to us

HOODOO MIRROR
Looking Glass at Glasgow Held
Responsible For nine
Deaths

Glafgow. Valley county, Montana, has
haunted" mirror according to Helena
visitor from that city. Some of the stories
told have made such an impression upon
the superstitious and upon many who will
not admit that they are superstitious. that
the mirror. although valuable. will not be
accepted as gift by any one to whom it
has been offered.
glass has at various times been in the pos
session of nine men. all Of whom have met
violent deaths.
The chain of title to the property begins
according to the stories. in a man named
Dunn, who was noted character in Valley
county and who died with his boots on
number of years ago in consequence of a
disagreement with man who was bred in
Texas.
From Dunn. the story goes, the mirror
went into the possession of Long Henry"
Thompson of Valley county, who soon had
no use for 1t. as he was put into grave
with leaden weights to keep him there.
To five other men. who met deaths by
violence. the current story traces owner
ship Of the wicked glass at various times.
and the chain finally leads up to William
A. Humphrey. who owned the mirror until
about eight years ago. when he WAS shot and
killed in Glasgow saloon by man, upon
whom Humphrey had opened fire.
After Humphreys death the stories about
the mirror became current and many to
whom it was offered refused to purchase it.
freely admitting that they we're afraid to
have it in there possession.
Robert L. conater. town marshal of Glas-
gov, purchased the mirror and a week
later while hunting. Conatser was drowned
in the Missouri river.
The custodian Of constater's effects tried
to sell the mirror but could not find a pur-
chaser.
The person who now has charge of the
mirror has been urged to destroy it. but he
declines to do so. and will not even touch
it. declaring that it may remain forever
where it now is rather than that he should
place his hands upon it.
The story goes that while Long Henry"
was the owner Of the property. he had it
stored away for a long time. and that while
it was so hidden he refrained from the use
Of liquor. prospered and was living down
his bad reputation, but that as soon as he
had placed it in use he resumed his old
career and his killing soon followed.
There are many such stories concerning
the mirror in circulation in Valley county.
and the subject has been discussed so gener-
ally that the death Of almost every man in
the county who has not died natural
death has been attributed to the influence
Of the magic glass.
1t is known that il was owned by four Of
the men named. while rumor has even
more greatly extended the influence Of the
