dated from his admission into this
Lodge. If 1 were asked to name the
qualities which attracted me to him,
rs they did to every one who knew
him-s0 far as my information goes-I
would say his gentle kindness, his gen
erosity, his tact, his devotion to his
friends, his broad charity, and the re-
markable sweetness of his disposition
all great human attributes that charm
and attract, and make the whole world
akin, but "the greatest of these is
charity"
Brother Adams charity for the mis-
takes and frailties of others was most
sincere and generous. For them he
always looked for some reasonable
excuse-some eXtenuating circum-
stances-to ralliate their errort or mis-.
fortunes.
Tender hearted as a little child he
had broad and deep sympathy for all
who were in trouble, and was ever
ready with the best consolation in his
power to offer.
While he was modest to the extreme,
ard gentle and unobtrusive in his
demeanor, he had his own firm con-
yictions; to which, when convinced they
were right, he adhered with great
teaacity.
A little incident, which will serve to
Illustrate the character of the man.
occurred in Newport News. The
young soldiers who had volunteered
for the Spanish War, in that locality,
were about to embark in Il body for
Cuba and the old veterans of the Civil
War those who wore the blue as well
as those who wore the gray turned
out to do them honor. Brother Adams
was Commander of g. A. r. Post the
members of wich We're to participate
in the parade. When the time came
for the procession to move' brother
Adams was able to muster but three
men belonging to his Post. He direct
ed them to fall into line and, taking
the arm of Colonel Nelms who was in
command of the Confederate veterans,
he marched to the end of the route,
cheered and honored by the crowds
that lined the streets to witness the
spectacle.
Brother Adams served server raj terms
as Commander of John X. Clay Post.
G. A. r., of Hampton, Virginia and
was also. at one time. Grand Comman
der of the Virginia and North Carolina
Department of the e. A. r. At the
time of his death he was member of
Lincoln Post of the c. A. X. in tnis
city.
After all. however. the truest and
most enduring tribute to onr late
Brothers. the silent requiem that chants
in the hearts of those who knew him
best and loved him most. We may
vie with one another in the superlatives
of praise. we may exhaust the langu-
age of eulogy but we cannot add enc
jot or title to his character nor take
from him any part of that respect and
love that was his reward in this life
Whenhe was here he was just what he
was: Where he is now he is just what
he is.
Nothing that we can say can make
him better or nobler than he was, nor
more glorified than he rs.
His life work is finished his gentle
voice is hushed; but those of us with
whom he mingled should, until our last
days, be grateful for having been brou
ght into contact with such character:
and. believe, we are all broader, truer
and better men, and better masms,
because our Brother, for time, So
journed with us.
Hail-Brother-and Farewell;

OBITUARY..

Grant Il. Giller was born at
Cleveland, Ohio, April l6, 1882
Two years later the family
moved to Iowa. His early edu-
cation was received in the puh-
lie schools, after which he at
tended the Southern Iowa Nor
NAL school, where in two years
he completed the regular course
and also Il course III oratory.
After graduation he entered To-
wa WESLEYAN University at Mt.
Pleasant and two years later, at
The age of 20, graduated from
that institution. In the same
year he entered the Iowa confer
ence.on probation us q minister
in the Methodist Episcopal
church and was stationed at
Donaldson. The next year he
was married to Miss Vera Stew
cns of Hedrick, Iowa, whose ac-
quaintance he made at college.
After strenuous prctracted
meeting III his next charge at
Lexington, Iowa, he suffered
from an affection of the throat,
which threatened his voice. He
came to Colorado, seeking rest.
He was Immediately benefited
and following what seemed to
be the leading Of providence, he
settled i'll the state and trans
fcrrcd his conference member
ship TO the Colorado conference.
His first appointment was Beth
ell (Pucblo), where lie was in
strunental in leading that little
church TO the erection of the
pretty new churcl, cdisccsm(rere.
they still worship and where his
sklllful leadership, followed
wisely by his successors has re-
suited iii a remarkable growth
and prosperity.
From. Bethel he WAS removed
to Fowler where the family
spent two more happy years and
thence TO Julcsburg and to
! Hotchkiss.
1t WAS in ,Julcsburg that the
first great sorrow came upon
/ them. In the midst of the sun.
shine and sweetness of Il charm
ing association, the shadow Of
death dropped like Il cloud. The
little son, Edgar Herbert died
suddenly of diptheria. Neither
futhcr nor mother did not soon
recover from the shock of this
| trial, but at Iiotchkiss another
babe came to fill the void and il
seemed that the world looked
good to live in again.
Brother GiIlcr's second year
III Hotchkiss was full Of suffer
ing. Co-incident with the de-
vclopment of a truly remarkable
pulpit ability, which was attract
ing large congregations to his
church, he became Il sufferer
! from sciatic rheumatism. None
bui those near to him viii ever
know with what torture of body
amounting almost to martyrdon
lie wrought at his sermons and
preached his thrilling messages
during the year.
When it came to the last con
ference and lac felt that ii would
be we'll for him to find another
field, thinking that possibly am
other climate might bring re-
lief from his suffering, his
church rose i'll n body and asked
| his return. One of the most
representative business men Of
the charge stated publical!y in
the congregation, and was uni
versally endorsed, tha.there WIS
not a minister in Colorado get
ting Il salary ofS25no y year who
could preach as well as Brother
Giller, That was the way he
was esteemed. In response to
this regard and the request of
his church he consented and
was returned to Hntchkiss ut
the conference in September.
But his illness was growing
worse, rather than better lie

FIRE LOSS FOR
Year WAS SMALL
DEPARTMENT RESPONDED TO 144
ALARMS; DAMAGE DONE
TOTALS $38,418.97.

Ottumwa has been very fortunate
during the past year in the number OF
fire losses, and figures compiled by
Earl Query, secretary of the Ottumwa
fire department, shows that the total
loss for the year was $3S,41S.97. The
insurance carried by owners and
tenants of the properties damaged by
fire amounted to $4,000. The fire
damage during the year 1910 is larger
than that Of 1909 on account Of the
Ottumwa Box Car Loader fire which
boosted the damage somewhat. The
loss is smaller than 1908. The de-
partment responded to IA alarms dur
ing the year, or an average Of twelve
alarms to the month. Many Of these
alarms were false. The highest num-
Der of alarms received in one day were
five, while there were days at stretch
when no alarm was sounded. The fire
fighting facilities Of the city were in
creased during the year by the re-
building of the East End fire station
which was destroyed by fire November
L, 1909. There are two branch sta
lions in the city, one in South Of
tumwa at the corner of Ransom and
Church streets and one in the East
End near Iowa avenue. A station on
Court hill or Albany street back OF
the reservoir is being talked of and
may be erected during the coming
season. With department on Court
hill and one in the West End which
will be demanded in the near future,
Ottumwa will have one Of the most
complete fire fighting departments in
Iowa.
The biggest fire loss of the year
was the destruction of the Ottumwa
Box Car Loader plant. The fire was
caused by burning oil dropping from
rivet furnace. The large plant was
partially destroyed. The fire loss on
this conflagration, alone, amounted to
$15,626.70.

Moines river and work begun by the
authorities at Washington leading up
to the making Of the stream navigable
and the land adjacent to it improved.
The extension Of mile Of the street
car service in two directions in South
Ottumwa and the extension Of the
done in 1910. There are now fifty
miles of pole lines in use by the local
electric company and 100 Tungsten
lights have been added to the lighting
service of the city. Three blocks of
high 'T'' rail were laid on West Main
street, 5000 feet Of the same type of
track on Chester avenue, and an eX-
tension of 1000 feet on Sheridan ave-
nue.. The Church street track was
doubled from the Market street bridge
to Myrtle street.
Divided Into Committees.
In most Of these improvements the
Commercial association was the lead
ing and chief spirit and the one aim
of the association has been throughout
the year to make Ottumwa grow more
in 1910 than in any previous year OF
the city's existence. The work Of the
association has been divided up into
committees to the number Of nearly
two dozen, and no branch of city i'm
provement or development is left un-
cared for. Numerous applications for
locations by industries, as we'll as ap-
plications from persons seeking a
place to work have been received and
given attention during the year. Con-
ventions have been another matter to
receive much attention during the year
passing. Good roads have been much
worked problem before the association
during 1910 and the results of the agi-
tation begun and carried on in and
the association, nets from so
to 60 miles of improved roads in and
out of Ottumwa to surrounding places
that have been Influenced by the local
agitation for better roads.

DIVORCES were
IN The MINORITY
SEPARATIONS DURING YEAR 1910
WERE NOT so GREAT AS
NUMBER OF MARRIAGES.

The proportion of divorces granted
during the year just closed to the num-
Der of marriage licenses issued, Is
about one in seven. For every seven
couples given permits to marry, there
has been one pair separated. The
figures for the year as to marriage
and divorce in Wapello county as
CLEANED from the court records, shows
the divorces granted during 1910 to
represent IA per cent Of the marriage
licenses issued. The numbers Of each
per month varies very much and the
divorces range from one in April, May
and July, as high as eleven In March,
ten in October, nine in both January
and September, eight in November,
seven in August, six in June and three
in December. February drew blank,
as no divorces we're granted during
that month. The total for the year
was siXty-six.
The issue of marriage licenses per
month was as follows.
