lives way out on East Capital street

where neighbors are just friends and
formal society never breaks through
to disturb his evenings, for like every
honest toiler, the Senator goes to bed
early. He walks to and from the
capital in all kinds of weather. He is
serious, earnest man with work to
do and he does it thoroughly. These
'toiler' habits have given him the re-
putation of being the hardest worker
in the senate and many duty which
should be performed by his colleagues
is thrust upon him in full confidence

Former LlneVllle Marshal Arrested.

The sheriff of Appanoose county
came to Lineville on No. 21 Tuesday
morning armed with a warrant for
the arrest of Lewis Burgin, who
formerly lived here and at one time
was night watch and city marshal,
says the Lineville' Tribune. The
sheriff found his man at the resi-
dence of J. S. Poland near the depot,
Mrs. Poland being the mother Of
Burgin's wife. The arrest was made
just before the arrival of No. 2 and
the official boarded the train with
his prisoner for Centerville
The proprietor Of the store robbed
at Jerome was here with the sheriff
and stated that the evidence impli-
eating Burgin with completely in the
crime is very strong and that there
is little doubt of his conviction. Two
were engaged in the robbery and the
suspect had been arrested and placed
in Jail at Centerville. Burgin left
Lineville with his family three years
ago and has since been working in
the coal mines in Appanoose county,
his present home being at Jerome.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

IN For the week ending August 20,
1911. Des Moines, Iowa.
4 The past week was hot and gener-
ally dry;&the average daily excess OF
temperature being about 4 degrees.
I and the rainfall was much below the
normal except over the northeastern
counties and in some localities in
SAdair, Adams, Cass, Clarke, Ringgold
and Union counties where copious to
heavy showers occurred. The maxi
mum temperatures on the 18th
ranged from SO to 105 degrees over
the southern district, but for the
state as a whole, the conditions were
favorable for all late crops. Except
IN some localities in southern and
southwestern counties, corn, late po-
statoes, grass and apples made con-
siderable improvement under the
effect of light local showers during
the past week and the copious to
8leavy rains of the preceding week.
Much of the early planted corn is
beginning to- dent and the late corn
is in the roasting ear stage, and
most OF it is doing we'll. Even in the
sdry districts, occasional light showers
have checked the deterioration of
corn. Pastures and late potatoes
have made a decided improvement
over the northern and southern dis
tricts4 and now afford considerable
feed Thrashing has been resumed
IN the northeastern counties and
much fall plowing has been done.

Miss Annie Radnich.
The friends of Miss Annie Radnit

The friends of Miss Annie Radnich,
of Davis City, were shocked to hear
of her death in a hospital at St. Joe,
Mo-, on Wednesday of last week.
She had been in poor health for some
time, but was not thought to be in
a dangerous condition until she took
to her bed some three weeks before
her death, and just week before
her death, she was taken to hospital
in St. Joe for treatment, this course
having been decided upon after a
consultation between her attending
physician and a specialist from St.
Joe, in the hope that the hospital
treatment would benefit her. Her
remains were brought to Davis City
on last Thursday, the funeral being
held at the parental home on Friday,
conducted by Rev. Wehn, and large
cOncOurse OF Borrowing friends were
in attendance. The many beautiful
flowers which covered her casket
told better than words how dear was
the memory of her who was so
peacefully sleeping the calm, happy
sleep of the just, for she was dear
good, girl, the comfort and stay Of
her aged parents, the wise counselor
of her younger brothers and sisters.
She was a loved member of the O. E..
. s. and Rebekah lodges, and was ever
ready to assist in all good work, with
smile and kind cheering word for
old and young. In the community
& where she had resided all her life
she was loved by all, not because she
was rich mans daughter, but for
her own genuine goodness of heart
and liberality, for none ever went to
her for aid in vain, and long will her
memory live in the hearts of the
many whom she so often assisted and
comforted. While not a member of
amy church her daily walk in life
showed the true christian spirit and
our blessed Savior said I'm my
fathers house are many mansions"
Annie was SO years of age, the
second daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
stephen Radnich, and was born and
raised in the home her parents still
occupy at Davis City. Besides her
aged parents she leaves to mourn
her departure three sisters and five
brothers. Yet, dear friends, let these
4 lines comfort you.
I'LL Weep not dear ones that l leave
you,

And did my parting not bereave
S.# you,
# Oh, how happy l could die.
