there and lived there until 1876;
then moved to Cass County but re-
turned to Extra, resided a few years
where A. A. Seibert now lives and
then went to Wyoming where he
and his wife now reside, very
aged.
The subject of this sketch was
educated in the Extra school under
the supervision 70 Addison Hallock;
John NJ Griggs, DR.. Andrews and
other teachers. and, taught school
in Audubon and Cass Counties sew
eral years. He went west in 1878
and became a cowboy in Colorado
and Wyoming.

EXTRA PEOPLE GATHER
AT GREELEY Center

Extra people en- masse enjoyed the
hospitality of the good folks of
Greeley Center last evening.
The proceeds of the sociable were
turned to the Ladies' Boosters of
Extra to be used in keeping up the
cemetry. 1t was an act of neighbor-
ly good will, which found quick
response in the minds and hearts
of the people of the Wooded City.
About twenty cars, 'loaded to the
gunwales'' went out, and the line
up around the church looked like
that of the Atlantic Sociability Run
at Exira's park Tuesday. But the
spirit was different.
All thoughts of business were
laid aside. Our townsfolk went to
meet and mingle with their neigh
bors in Greeley, and to acknow-
ledge their appreciation of a rare
act of thoughtfulness and good
will. Not alone the Ladies' Boost
ers, but citizens of Extra generally
recognize the debt and expect to
repay.

FAMILY REUNION At
NELS P. K0E1H HOME

A family reunion was held at the
Neils P. Hoegh farm in Oakfield
township last Sunday when the
sons and daughters, with the child
ren of the married ones, all came
home to make another joyful gath
ering for the old folks. When Mr..
and Mrs. Hoegh came to this coun-
try their family was small and their
means were smaller but they saw
the opportunity and waded in for
results. AS fast as the boys be-
came large enough a team was pro-
vided and as the girls became
strong enough a certain number of
COWS were on hand to milk and
with father steerin, matters out
doors and mother overseeing domes
tic affairs, the Neis P. Hoegh farm
became like the home of the Honey
Bee, and figuratiyely speaking,
gathered honey every day from ev-
cry sweet opening flower. The fam
lily are nearly all out from the par
entail home now, doing as father
and mother did, gathering in
earth's richest blessings.

SECRET WELL KEPT
HUNT GILBERT

Miss Lillian Hunt has kept the
event of her marriage with agoniz-
ing quietness. 1t was not until the
day of her departure, last Friday,
to meet her husband who resides
in Denver that she divulged the Sc
cret of her wedding in a general
way. 1t was while she was home
steading government claim that
she met Mr.. L. c. Gilbert, then an
inspector for the government.
The acquaintance ripeneed into
a love affair which came to a eli
max March 2Sth last when they
were married in Denver, Colorado.
1t was a little late but brothers
and sisters and parents did the
very best they could under the en-
barassing situation to give Lille a
send-off Thursday night when they
were invited in for a seven O'Clock
dinner at which Miss Lillian had
planned to tell the secret.
Mr.. Gilbert is now representing
Park Davis Drug Company of De-
troit with their veterinary lines,
over the west with his Headquarters
in Denver, Colorado.
The Journal extends it's heartiest
congratulations.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
CARRIED IN ILLINOIS

The bill granting equal suffrage
to women passed the Illinois legis-
lature Thursday last. The vote
stood S3 to So against the measure.
Another state is thus added to the
few who appreciate their women
and have established the equality
of men and women in voting. They
are: Wyoming, Colorado, Washing
ton, Utah, Idaho and California.
Arizona, Kansas and Oregon adop
ted constitutional amendments
granting elective to women. But
the same was voted down i'm Ohio,
Michigan and Wisconsin.
In Great Britain women can vote
for all offices except Members of
Parliament and there is the rub.
