the event. the management Went to
work with right good will and now
they can view their work With afeel-
ing of satisfaction With. donations
of a couple of hundred dollars in cash
and as much more in prizes from the
local business men, it was possible
to arrange a Very respectable list q:
prizes none of them Very large, it
is true But the SIZE of the prize
was not of such vital Importance
with those who were to compete.
They recognized that IT was a first
attempt, and their main object in
entering their produce was to show
others what they had been able to
accomplish. The result was an un-
expectedly large and hieh-cass dis
play Of grains. vegetables and fancy
work.
The building formerly occupied
by the Wolfer store had been Sc
cured for the main displays. and it
had been prepared and the exhibits
displayed in neat manner. Practi-
cally all the grains and vegetables
which can he raised in this region
were displayed. and some of the dis
PLAYS brought forth much praise
from those we'll acquainted with
their merits. MIR. $ +. kurtz. Of
HaZeltun. an authority on grains,
judged the exhibits. and his work
gave excellent satisfaction Some
of the entries mad been previously
shown at Bismarck. and. in one or
two instances, grains that had drawn
prizes at the Industrial Exhibition
failed to win here. Every com
munity Of the county was repre-
sentea and took home prizes.

Came to keokuk With His Parent.
Over Fifty Years Ago When
Only Year
Old.
F1FTY-F1vE YEARS OLD
Had Arranged to Go Into clsar-Mak-
ing for Himself When the
Fatal Illness Attacked
Him.

Andrew Cassel died at the home of
MS brother-in-law, John B. vanPap-
pelendam, 722 North Ninth street. at
$40 O'Clock last night after an illness
iof several months.
Mr.. Cassel was born in 1857 at
Eaton, Ohio, and came west when an
infant with his parents the year after
wards, in 1858, the family settling on
farm near Donnellson. this county.
Here he remained until he was eigh-
teen years old and returned to Eaton,
Ohio, the town of his birth, where he
entered the cigar establishment OF
Miller Bros, and learned the trade of
cigar making. After remaining en-
ployed there for several years. he re-
turned to Iowa, locating in Keokuk,
where he has since resided except a
shcrt time spent at Kahoka, Mo.
On April %, 1886, he was married
to Miss Minnie vanPappelendam and
to them was born only one child, a
son, who died in infancy.
j He had worked at his trade here at
several of the cigar factories, but
principally at Koechling's place, then
near Twelfth and Fulton. He was
we'll and favorably known with the
trade and popular with his associates.
He was member of the Cigar Makers
union of Keokuk. His health failed
SO that he could not work regularly at
his vocation since last August. Last
February he fitted up plant, with all
the necessary appliances for the man
ufacture of cigars on his own account,
but he grew worse and he had scarce
| ly manufactured his fifty cigars when
4 his sickness of valvular heart trouble
became worse and he was taken to his
bed on the second day of March, from
1 which he never arose.
During his entire illness he was
calm and hopeful of his early recovery,
Iccntending that his heart was not af-
Efected, but that 1t was a simple trouble
lof the stomach Even three days be-
fore his death he talked of the bright
prospects for Keokuk and was plan
ming for his future action and even
then the insidious form of death was
lurking by his bedside.
Mr.. Cassel is survived by his sad
ldened wife, one brother, Ralph Cassel,
j who resides on the Alton farm near
Keokuk, one sister, Mrs. George
Browning, of New York City, and five
lnephews and nieces.

a class will probably break up, blu,
each with a sadness in his heart and
an inextinguishable love for the old
school we all love-"
The address Of the president was
followed by the class historian who
reviewed the four years work and
play of the class with remarkable
aptness, nothing being too little or Of
slight Importance to escape mention in
his review. Hugh G.. Robertson was
the historian.
Elizabeth Stoddard Stevens, in her
class poem, Vale, Alma Mater" won
the praises of the audience. The poem
in full follows:
Vale, Alma Mater.
Alma Mater. fostering mother,
From thy care we must depart,
Say farewell to the instructors,
Who have truly done their part.
Four long years they've toiled with us,
Giv'n us OF their wealthy store,
Helped us build firm foundation,
On which We are building more.
And it is their earnest pleading,
AS We take this fond farewell,
That We build enduring mansions,
Strong and firm in which to dwell.
All around are good incentives;
All around are evil, too;
To succeed we must determine
Which are false and which are true.
We can never quite repay them
For their tender, fostering care;
They have been our guides to knowl-
edge,
Fed us from that fountain rare.
Though we never can repay fem
We can each one do his part,
Helping on some struggling brother
Who Is weak and faint of heart.
And, if we're in life successful,
Win the yictor's wreath of bays"
1t will be with grateful voices
That we give to them the praise.
Never can we be forgetful;
In our hearts they'll ever dwell
Though we're singing with our
voices
Alma Mater, fare thee we'll.
Following the class poem the
class Grafton by Clayton Reiner, who
took for his subject "A Rolling
Stone.' His efforts were rewarded
with rounds of applause at the finish
of his speech.
The class will, read by James B.
Hodge, and the class prophecy, by Ed
ma Irene Rollosson, brought forth a
great deal of merriment and APP
plause. The program was finished
with the class song.
