Pure FOOD SHOW
LAST OF MONTH.
ANNUAL EXHIBIT BY RETAIL MER.
CHANTS ASSOCIATION TO BE-
GIN SEPT. 80.

Secretary r. ]. Shanahan of the Re-
tail Merchants association Is busy
these days arranging for the big pure
food show and merchants exhibit that
has become an annual affair with Of
tumwa's vendors of foodstuffs. The
fall exhibit at which all manner Of
foodstuff manufacturers will have
booths for the display of their wares,
ia scheduled to open in the armory
September 80 and continue until Oc-
tober 5. A feature of the pure food
show this fall will be the exhibit that
the state food and dairy commission
will have here. This was requested
Of the commission some time ago
and has been promised. A visit OF
one of the inspectors to the city
few weeks ago lent encouragement to
the committee in charge by stating
that the commission would undoubted-
ly have an exhibit If requested to do
so, and upon the invitation being ex-
tended it was accepted. Other fea-
lures under consideration Is a baby
show, a domestic science lecturer and
demonstration, exhibits of farm pro-
ducts from the farms Of Wapello coun-
ty, etc. The association Is anxious to
have the farmers become interested IN
the movement for the good that the
annual show can accomplish with the
public generally. These exhibits and
the programs that have been given IN
connection with the pure food shows,
have made a good and lasting impress
sion on Ottumwans and the people
are keen to attend and learn the new
est things in foodstuffs that are con-
tinually being placed on the market
and to see the staple stuffs shown by
the various manufacturers, whole
salers and dealers generally. ~.
Heretofore the pure food shows
have been a work of beauty in the
manner OF booths and decorations and
this year the committee In charge is
anxious to Guido all former attempts.
The armory will be completely re-
modelled in time for the show and the
entire upper floor will be given over
to the exhibition. Many of the ex-
hibit spaces allotted for firms partici.
pating in the show, have already been
secured and it is expected to make the
show this year eclipse all previous
efforts.

life of the late Colonel Seymour D.
Carpenter, once a resident of Ottum.

You stated what he did; may l,
who knew him better than any, add a
few words as to what he was?
A man, in the fullest and best sense
of the word, mentally and physically
bright and active up to within week
of his death An iron constitution en-
abled him to travel from Europe to
Florida, from Florida to Canada In
his eighty-sixth year.
man of sound judgment, simple,
honest, honorable and chivalrous;
deeply interested in politics, both
American and English, in literature,
in science. A boon companion, a
good talker fond of telling tales of his
ancestors in Pennsylvania, good
business man, a loving father, devot-
ed husband. He practiced the old
fashioned virtues, despising all pomp
and show, the mad rush of the TWEEN
tieth century
He was a firm follower of Darwin
and Huxley: an agnostic all through
his long life. II do not know he
always said. but if there is here
after and ] am called to account for
what have done, am ready to take
my medicine like man, and shall
not be in bad company" One of the
last books he was reading was Glib.

He died as he lived, simply and
bravely and without any suffering, as
he would have wished to go.
