Kerns, pastor of the Christian church
of New Sharon, passed away Sunday
afternoon, June 2, 1912, at 4 o'clock
after a few hours illness of appoplexy
The announcement Of her death came
as a great shock to her many friends
in that community.
Mrs. Kerns had been in poor health
for the past few months, but during
the past week she had mentioned to
her friends how much better she was
feeling. Sunday morning she was in
the best of spirits and went to the
church, where she taught Sunday
school class. Following the lesson
she was taken i'll and retired to her
home. She was followed home by her
son, Matthew, and when he entered
the house he plainly saw that his
mother was in critical condition
He rushed back to the church to in
form his father, who was in the midst
of his sermon. The congregation was
Immediately dismissed. Physicians
were called, but she was beyond med
ical aid and passed away at o'clock
A short prayer service was held at
the Christian church Monday after.
noon. The remains will be shipped
to Central City, Ia, Tuesday morning,
where interment will be male. She is
urvived by her husband and sou Mat
thew.

lie, second, Blessed be the Tie that
Binds; solo, Star Spangled Banner by
Mamie Hammer; third, Columbia the

Miss Tool, of Reasnor, gave a pic
mic for her scholars at her home Sun
day. Several from Sully attended.
Sully school closed Friday. A short
program in the primary room by Miss

BASE BALL CARNIVAL
Proceeds Will Leave Association
Almost Out of Debt.

The Patterson shows, which put on
the base ball carnival here last week,
pulled stakes late Saturday night and
departed for Fort Dodge. where they
play this week. The weather last
week was not very favorable to carni-
val crowds and the base ball asso-
citation did not profit by the venture
as much as the members mad hoped.
The associations share of the re-
ceipts amounted to only about $3.50.
Out of this the city license of $50,
rent on the canvas fence of SIS and
other expenses had to be paid. The
association was about $500 in debt, so
it looks like there will still remain
a small balance on the wrong side of
the ledger. Those whose names are
signed to the old notes, however, will
be glad to be this near out from under.

Aviator Who Won Fame as Mers
ber Of Wright Brothers'
Team.

North Yakima, Wash, June g.
Philip o. Parmalee, young aviator
who had acquired considerable fame
as a member of the Wright brothers
team of flyers, was instantly killed
here when a gust Of wind caught the
tail Of his biplane and caused 1t to
overturn and plunge 400 feet to earth.
Parmalee had been up about three
minutes on his first fight Of the day
and had travelled almost two miles
from the fair grounds at height OF
400 feet when the gust of wind struck
the machine. The biplane crashed to
the ground, crushing the aviator be-
meath it
Fearless Of Accident.
Before he prepared for his last
flight Parmalee was urged to post
pone the exhibition until the wind quiz
eted, but he laughed at the persistent
and fatal misfortune that had logged
the Wrights and their aviators for the
last week and climbed to his seat
without premonition Of the fate that
was to overtake him.
Parmalee was regarded by experts
as the safest" of American aviators,
as well as the most successful finan'
cially of those employed by the
wrights. He was said to have earned
$751;, 900 for the Wright brothers dur
ing 1911, and he quit their employ
only a few weeks ago.
Broke the Worlds Record.
Born at St. Johns, Mich. about
twenty-five years ago, Parmalee came
into prominence as an aviator by
breaking the American endurance rec

of the trouble came from impure wat

The hundreds of friends of DR.. G.
E. Quire were panied to learn that he
had passed away suddenly last Sat
urday evening shortly after supper.
The Doctor had been sick for several
weeks but was only seriously i'll at
times and while his death was not
all together unexpected TO the ram
lily they were 1ot expecting him to
pass away so soon. He had called
for his son Frank to give him some
medicine and while it was being pre-
pared. death came suddenly and
quietly. DIR. Quire was perhaps as well
known as any man in this vicinity, as
he had followed the practice of medi-
cine here since 1865 and there are no
doubt thousands who have had oc-
casion to call him during that time.
He was born il Carthage, Hamilton
County, Ohio, in 1912, being SO years,
6 months of age at his death.

CARRIER A PLEASANT SUR
PRISE WYNN BROS. HEAVY
LOSERS IN CANADA.
Items from Lynnville STAR

Lorin Wynn, who returned from
Canada, has had serious loss there
in the last few days. It seems that
his brother Fred, who was staying
on their land there, had considerable
stock, grain and machinery in a
straw covered barn that in some way
caught fire and burned with all the
contents. The loss to Loren will run
close to $500, while that of his broth
Ier Fred will total about $1,000. This
lis a hard blow to the boys, especially
as we understand there was no insur-
ance.
E. S. Haines, mail carrier of Route

gift for his good and loyal service for
the past five years and ten months.
The route was canvassed by Charley
Castorf and the patrons contributed
literally. The money was kindly re-
Iceived and greatly appreciated, but
the feeling of the patrons toward him
was of far more value in his estima-
ton than the money and Mr.. Haines
says this kind act will never be for

Free SWIMMING School.

The fact that Davenport lost fifteen
citizens last year and three so far
this year by drowning in the Missis-
sippi river, has led to the organization
of public swimming school, free to
all men and boys. Six classes with
an average of ten members each are
being taught every day Every public
school boy whose parents will allow
him to attend, will be taught to care
for himself In the water. Seventy
have been graduated from the classes
and thousand are now ON the walt
Ing list.
