Obituary OF Philip Alt.

Philip Alt was born in Audubon, Iowa,
May 9Th, 1894 and passed away at the
Mayo Bros, Hospital April 5th, 1911,
aged 16 years and IL months. He began
to fail in health last January and after
consulting the physician it was found
that he was suffering with Append
citis. After months treatment and
tender care at home, the family con-
cluded to take him to Rochester, Mime
sofa. He stood the operation very well.
Having to battle with other complica-
tions it was necessary to have second
operation. He grew weaker very rapid
" and on last Wednesday he went into
that long sleep from which none ever
wake to weep. Philip was a bright boy
with excellent morals and kind dis
position. He was very obedient to his
mother and loved ones in the family.
His many young friends will miss him,
for he was good boy with bright pro-
spects before him. His young life may

Rev. Wendell To Dumont.

Rev. G. ID. Wendell of Viola Center
returned Tuesday morning from con-
ference with the word that he has been
transferred to the Iowa conference and
appointed to Dumont a good town in
Butler county in the northern part of
the state. He first attended the Des
Moines conference at Green Mountain
and then went to Waterloo to attend
the Iowa Conference. Mr.. Wendell has
received good appointment in a fine
section of the state. We are pleased to
hear this but regret that he is leaving
this county, where he has been as pas
tor of the church in Audubon and Viola
Center during the last five or six years.
Mr.. Wendell is a man of the highest
character, is good preacher and pas
tor, and has a fine family. We can
commend them heartily to the people
of Dumont whom they go to serve.

The Bell Estate Wins Suit.

The supreme court of Iowa handed
down an opinion the last week that is
of special interest here because of the
local parties interested in a financial
way; and to all parties throughout the
state who may wish to dispose of their
property by deed or will before their
death. Before Uncle Jimmie Bell of
Old Hamlin died he decided one fourth
of his farm to each member of the fam
lily, one brother and two sisters. Be
cause of this fact the administrator re-
fused to pay the Collateral inheritance
tax claimed by the state. Judge Wood
ruff decided in favor of the estate and
an appeal was taken to the supreme
court on behalf of the state, claiming
that because the deeds were not re-
corded before his death they should be
counted the same as will and there.
fore the tax should be paid. But the
supreme court affirmed the decision OF
Judge Woodruff because the evidenc,
submitted showed it was the intention
to have the deeds recorded and thu
failure to do so was one of oversight
and not one of intent

There are three elements of expense
that enter into the establishment of a
free public library. The first is that of
site on which to erect the building;
but this will be more than provided for
by the property owned by the Column
bian Club which will be turned over to
the trustees of the library for that pur-
pose. The second is that of the building;
but Mr.. Carnegie will furnish $4,000 for
that purpose, which will pay for sub
stantial and imposing structure. The
third is that of maintenance; and the
library tax which the people are asked
to vote is intended for that purpose.

LIBRARY TAX NOT PERPETUAL
And The New Building Would In No
Case Revert To Mr.. Carnegie.

Before the town of Red Oak voted ON
the library tax, committee headed by
Judge Deemer published the following
statement:
A rumor seems to have been started
in this city that in case we ever fail to
maintain the tax for its support the
library will revert again to Mr.. Carne-
gle, by the terms of the agreement in
which he gives us the donation for the
building, This report is absolutely
without foundation. Mr.. Carnegie
makes no such stipulation whatsoever.
The city has to agree to maintain tax
for the support of the library, but no
city council can bind succeeding coun-
Gil and the tax is not perpetual unless
the people see fit to make it so. We
need have no fear that Mr.. Carnegie
will come and take his building away
after it is once put up. No city has
ever yet failed to maintain tax for the
library after few years lapse of time
not because they we're afraid of Mr..
Carnegie but because they have realized
the value which the library is to the
community.

More About Library Tax.

We learned yesterday that some gen.
tlemen who are the happy owners of
good farms are of the notion they will
have to pay library tax on those farms
no matter Where they are located in the
county. But such is not the case. The
library tax will be paid on real estate
and personal property within the town
of Audubon. If a farmer who lives in
Audubon has $50 tax on his property in
town his library tax will add 81 year.
He might own whole township out
side and his town town or library tax
would not be increased. In this con-
nection we want to remind our citizens
who have groaned under the taxation of
monies and credits that the new law is
now in effect. On every thousand dol
lars of money you have in the bank or
loaned out you will have to pay $500
tax instead of about three times that
much heretofore. Take one thirtieth of
the tax in town and you will have the
amount your library tax will be.

but fortunately not hurting him. His
