Fairfield, April 26.-Captain and
Mrs. John A. Spielman, two Of the
most prominent pioneer settlers OF
Jefferson county, celebrated their gol-
den wedding anniversary Sunday at
their home on South Main street.
There surrounded by five Of their six
children and their families they pass
ed the day in genuine happiness and
pleasure. The anniversary dinner was
served at the Leggett house and was
a family affair.
\ Mr.. Spielman came with his parents
to Iowa from Ohio In 1910 and on April
"a, 1860 at Germanyille, was united in
marriage to Miss Christina Hirschber-
ger. who came from Lancaster, Ohio.
Another Celebration.
The Spielman home was the scene
of another happy celebration when
two wedding anniversaries were joy
fully observed although they are not
golden weddings. Monday marked the
anniversary OF the marriage of two OF
the sons OF Captain and Mrs. Spielman
and therefore the occasion was cele-
brated with rare pleasure. Eighteen
years ago John Spielman claimed Miss
Kittie VOORHEES, Of this city for his
bride three years after on the same
day Fred &. Spielman was united In
marriage to Miss Harriet Israel of
this city.
An old fashioned family dinner was
enjoyed at the spielman home while

Progressive Republicans at a called
meeting held last evening in the Office
Of e. III. Emery on Commercial street,
adopted resolution looking toward
harmony in the ranks Of the party in
the county and the setting aside of all
factional differences that have exist
ed. The resolution was that ordered
at meeting held last week when a
committee OF Ave composed of Major
| T. P. Spilman, G. Manning, G. j. Elk
Ifelt, H. P. Keyhoe and E. H. Emery
were ordered to draft the resolution
and report at the call of the chairman.
Major Spilman was In the CT "ir last

was seen to be the keynote of the

resolution carried by standing vote
Of almost unanimous support.
The Resolution.
To the Republicans Of Wapello
county
Being DESTROYS Of the success of the
Republican ticket in Wapello county
and recognizing the fact that there
are honest differences in our party
touching the tariff question, and the
action Of our iowa senators and rep
resentatives thereon and without the
thought of challenging the motives of
any man, we make the following as q
proposition in the interest of harmony
in our party: That we support such
men for nomination at our primaries
as we think best fitted for tho Office
without regard to the past factional
differences and that when such nomi-
nations are made we pledge ourselves
to loyalty support the same.
That in the selection Of delegates to
the state convention to be held Aug
ust 8, 1910, we recognize both ele-
ments of the party by selecting repre-
sentative men equally dividing the
same.
Select Committee.
Following the adoption Of the mea'
sure the next thing considered was
the manner Of handling the factional
feeling that the body wished to stife.
All regarded the necessity OF working
| in unison for the success OF the state
and county tickets, and to avoid fac
Itionalism, it was decided to select an
executive committee Of ten men who
will handle all matters that may come
up. This committee was selected from
the following:
Major T. P. Spilman, chairman; f.
H. Emery, C. Manning, G. J. Ekfelt, H.
P. Keyhoe, l.. A. Gordon, A. L. Rey.
nolds, s. H. Harper, Or. e. A. Sheafe,
n n Tavlor They will confer with
the leaders Of the other element on all
matters representing the progressives.
Several copies Of the resolution
adopted, are being circulated through.
out the city today for the signatures
of all Republicans without regard to
factional differences.

Isaac swi,nney.

Isaac Swinney was born in Monroe
county. Virginia, May 81, 1924 and
With his parents came to Decatur
county, Indiana, in 1928. where he
grew to young manhood. He was mar
ried to Olive Johnson May 81. 1S47. In
September Of the same year they came
to Davis county, Iowa, and located on
farm where they remained until
1898. They moved to, Ottumwa, where
they have since made their home on
Pine street on the South Side. Mr..
Swinney departed this life April FL, at
1880 p. m. In the death of Mr.. Swim
ney we are again reminded. that the
old settlers are passing away. Fewer
and fewer in number are the rugged
pioneers, to whom the hardships Of
early settlement are but look back to
the days that are past.
The deceased during his long life
was successful farmer and stock
raiser while his character was very
strong. He was a man Of convictions
and feared not to express them. He
has left name to be remembered, one
that cannot soon be forgotten. i
Mr.. Swinney united with the Bap-
fist church at Hartsville, Ind, when
quite young and Mrs. Swinney joined
the Baptist church at Salem, near by.
In few weeks after their marriage
they came west bringing their religion
with them, into new country where
churches were few. Together with
others they soon found way to organ
ize the Chequest Union Baptist church
of which he was a member at the time
OF his death. The deceased and his
wife were plain and unassuming but
progressive people, same each day
with another, wear by year throughout
their long married life Of nearly So
years.
OF the three children born to them
but two remain, James r. Swinney.
Of Bloomfield Iowa, and Mrs. Mary f.
Briggs Of st. Paul, MINI. The deceas-
ed also leaves two brothers Harvey
and Gorton and two sisters, Mrs.
Lucinda Patterson and Mrs. Minerva
Worries.

Made Crazy by Coming Prize Fight.

~CIeVeIand, June 2b.-Insane over
the Jeffries-Johnson fight, Kate
Blancke, we'll known character ac-
tress, was committed to the State
asylum at NeWburg today. Since her
arrival in Cleveland last Thursday,
Miss Blanche has been sending tele-
grams continuously to James Gleason
and Tex Richard, the fight promoters,
begging them to take her to the con-
test. Her actions finally became so
peculiar that her relatives were ap-
pealed to and after a medical ex-
animation she was adjudged insane
and committed to the asylum.
