Service for I. C.
Ry. Co.

On Friday of this week Captain ].
+. Merry will retire from active
work for the Illinois Central, on a
we'll earned pension, after con
tinuous service of 81 years.
Captain Merry made good in every
position assigned to him; and. better
than all else, he made friends for
his company in all that he did. He
tried at all times to keep the Illi-
nois Central out of politics and had
4 prominent officials of the other
railroads of this state adopted a
similar policy there would have
been no occasion for the hostile rail
way legislation enacted in Iowa
during recent years
Mr.. Merry got out and touched ed
bows with the people, and learned
their wants and helped them to the
extent of his power, and in that
way made friends for his company.
Captain Merry's retirement from
railroad work does not imply, by any
means. that he is going to be idle.
On the 2Sth of this month he is
TO address the Northwest Iowa Vet
eran association at Cherokee. Sep
tember 13 he is engaged for SINH
lar address before the Benton Com-
ty Veteran association to be held at
Vinton. September 13 he conducts
the camp fire of his old regiment,
2lst Iowa Reunion at Central City.
In October as chairman of the Iowa
Vicksbnrg Monument commission he
goes to Vicksburg to accept from
the sculptor and contractor the
completed Iowa memorial which is
regarded by experts as the best in
the park.
The Captain also has invitations
from the National magazine pub
lished at Boston and the Manu-
facturers Record, published at Bal
timore, to become a regular con-
tributor to these noted publications.
Captain Merry came from Ohio
to Iowa with his father, mother,
brother and two sisters, October 26,
1856, not in Pullman car but in a
covered wagon and the trip that is
now made by rail in Is hours, re-
quired weeks with good team.

to them, six boys and four girls. OF
these children only three boys, John
of Fremont, Nebraska, William, of
Great Falls, Montana, and Irwin,
of Coffins Grove, survive to mourn
the loss OF, their father.
In all of his dealings Isaac Nc
Gee was honorable, truthful and
manly, and at the ripe age of 81
years and months he passed on to
join the larger part of his family in
that realm, the limits of which oul
reason has not yet demonstrated.

MANCHESTER WITH DRINK
ING FOUNTAIN.

Colonel b. Nv. Jewell, who is
spending a few days in his home
town noticed the workmen engaged
repairing the fountain at the corner
of Main and Franklin streets and
become interested in what they were
doing that he concluded to do some
thing himself. He went to Mayol
Leroy and told him to buy a. good
new fountain and have it placed
where the old one stood and send the
bill to him for payment.
In years past the Colonel has
demonstrated in many ways his pub
lie spirit to the people of this city
but his gift of sanitary, UP to datt
drinking fountain will probably be
appreciated by as many and remem
bered as long as any of the othel
services rendered by him to the pub
lie.
