since the recent death OF Russell
Knight there has been considerable
talk about the old picket fence be-
tween the school and5scourt house
yards and most people have Thought
that II ought TO be- removed or an
other kind OF fence substituted, But
the school and county authorities
have decided to- dispense with The
fence altogether and consequently it
has been torn down.
All the fence around the school
grounds has been removed and il
makes bigsimprovement in the
looks Of things, both in the. court

Sudden DEATH
Of P. Il. NORRIS
Well Known Resident of This City
Dies Suddenly This Afternoon Z
at Family Home on
Walnut Street.
GREAT SHOCK TO FRIENDS.
Came to Hamilton County in Early
Day and Settled on Farm in
Cass Township.
GREAT SHOCK TO FRIENDS.

Friends of the family and the peo-
pie in general were greatly surpris-
ed and shocked this afternoon when
the news of the sudden death of p
H. Morris rapidly spread through
out the community, his demise oc-
curing at about / O'clock at the
family home on Walnut street. Mr..
Morris got up early this morning,
intending to drive out to the home
of his daughter, Mrs. A. F. Bart
lett, near Blairsburg. However, he
was taken i'll soon afterward and at
1 o'clock this afternoon passed
away, the physician in attendance
pronouncing his ailment neuralgia
of the heart. He had been feeling
rather poorly this spring, but that
his death was so near, was not
dreamed of.
Mr.. Morris was past seventy years
of age and was one of the best
known and most highly esteemed
citizens of the city. The family
came to Hamilton county in an early
day and settled upon a farm in Cass
township, near what was then
known as Waterman postoffice. Lat
er they lived on farm at Mulberry
Center. Some twelve or fifteen
years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Morris re-
moved to this city and have con-
tinued their residence here since
that time. a"..
The deceased was an old soldier,
an exemplary citizen and good:
man. He goes to his reward after
we'll spent and useful life and his
memory will be cherished by large
circle Of friends.
Besides his wife, the deceased is
survived by. three children. one son
and two daughters. They are A. F..
Morris of Bently, North Dakota;
Mrs. A. F. Bartlett and Mrs. F. H.
Shafer, both Of whom reside near
Blairsburg. One child, a daughter,
died in infancy. so
The funeral arrangements will
probably be announced tomorrow.
Also obituary later. ,.a

june HAS been A
COLD MONTH so FAR
Cold Temperature has Been General
Throughout Entire Northwest
for Two Weeks.

The abnormally cold June is re-
tarding the growth of Iowa's staple
crop-king corn. Yesterday morn
ing the minimum temperature Of the
thermometer was so degrees. AT
this time of the year it seldom falls
as low as 60 degrees. The highest
temperature Sunday was but 20 de-
grees and only on two days since
June began have temperatures of 80
degrees or over been experienced.
The cold weather has been hang
ing over the entire northwest for
the last two weeks with only occa-
sional let ups. Sunday morning at
Devils Lake, S. D., etheJ mercury fell
twos degrees below the freezing
point. | Heavy frosts were general
over the Dakotas, Montana, Wyom;-,
ing and Minnesota and considerable
loss to wheat and corn growers re-
suited.
South Of Missouri the tempera-
lures have been normal. Abilene,
Texas, last week reported 104 de-
grees and Oklahoma City has been
visited by many 80 degree days,
Thile Iowa does mot court g repe-
stition az last summers record break
Ing heat, still little more warmth
would be very acceptable.
AZ report spread broadcast over
Iowa lately was to the effect that po-
tato bugs had been killed off by the
extreme cold winter and no damage
Is looked for from that source this
year. This looked plausible. but it
was rudely placed in the deception
column by the sudden appearance in
many places of not only the regular
old variety of the pests, but also OF
another species which does far
greater damage In less time. u The
more recent invaders, eat everything
