OBITUARY--A NOBLE WOMAN
GONE,

On last Thursday our city was
again shocked to learn OF the sudden
death of Mrs. =. s. . Morgan, who ex-
.pired about 2 o'clock p. m. She had
only been sick about one week, but
not seriously as her friends thought,
but the end came very suddenly.
She was loveable woman, loved by
all who knew her. and she had only
been married few years to Mr.. e.
s. Morgan, our well known barber.
Her former home was In Boone. Mr..
II. Coleman Is her father. She was
an active member fthe Household
of Ruth, Eastern Star Chapter and
various other organizations. The fu-
neral services were held from the
Burns M. e. Church, OF which she
was an active Christian worker. A
very large crowd gathered at the
church Sunday at O'clock. The SER
vices were conducted by Rev. l..
Woolrich, the pastor. under the aus
pices of the Household of Ruth. The
remains We're laid to rest In the
beautiful cemetery Of Glendale.

Pickett for State Superintendent.
The Bystander is pleased to invite
the attention of its readers to the his
tory of Adam Pickett of Creston who is
a candidate before the republican pri-
maries for state superintendent Of
public instruction. He was born on
the farm in 1862; deprived of his father
at the age of seven and left to provide
for his mother and two younger brothers
one of whom was an invalid. He was
compelled to stop school and earn
livelihood. He worked on the farm,
in the factory, and afterwards in q coal
mine. While working in cool mine in
Brazil, Indiana, he suffered severe
injury that left him a cripple for life.
He continued to mine coal in Missouri,
Illinois and Iowa until the Angus strike
Of 1885. He turned his attention to
education and worked his way through
the preparatory school, normal school,
college and university and finally took
up the work of teaching as a profession.
He has been superintendent OF the Van
Meter, Adair, Guthrie Center, Mt. Ayr
and Creston schools and for twenty
years has been member Of the Iowa
State feathers Association. He has
taught in over fifty teachers insti .utes,
and lectured to large number Of
teachers in a large number Of counties
in central Iowa. Should he be noml-i
mated, the Office could not be in better
hands. He numbers among his friends
all classes. And while he is to-day
occupying prominent position, ne ls
the friend Of the down trodden, and his
wife though lady OF culture and re-
.fnement is member Of little society
in Creston that is in part made up OF
colored folks. His two brothers are
both mine foremen, one OF them at
Buxton, in this state. We feel free to
say that the laboring men and all the the
common people should consider him.
