Fine Illustrated Lecture at Congre.
gational Church by Miss Fran II
Z. -
.'.. ces Patterson.

The sterOpticon lecture by Miss
Frances B. Patterson at the Congre-
gational church last evening was an
interesting and highly entertaining
one. The beautifully colored slides
shown by the speaker were unusual
ly attractive. These views were TAX
en- by Miss Patterson herself and a
discriminating choice is shown in
her sections. The slides were COL
ored by the best slide artist in Chi
cago and on the screen they showed
up as real works of art. Miss Pat
terson's lecture accompanying the
views was also work of art and her
description of Hindu scenes, customs
and costumes was listened to with
great interest.
Miss Patterson is on a tour in the
interest of the national inter-denom-
national committee on foreign mis-
sions and her presence in Webster
City is possible on account of a
couple of open dates. Miss Patter-
sons work last night was so remark
able and the pictures were so high
class that it was voted to ask her to
remain here for another lecture to-
night. This she consented to do and
at o'clock tonight she will lecture
again in the Congregational church.
Again the sub ject will be India. The
slides tonight will include a set COW
ering the Tag-Mahal, the most beau
tiful building in the world. Doubt
less large audience will be attract
ed by the program tonight. 1t is
not often that such pictures are
available, especially to be interpret
ed by one who is personally ac-
quainted with the scenes portrayed.
At the high school this morning
Miss Patterson spoke on her expert
ences in China and greatly interest
ed the pupils. The admission to-
night at the church will be ten
cents, which goes toward defrayins
Miss Patterson's expenses.

mrs. ]. DEL0S REED :
IS CALLED BY DEATH
Prominent Woodstock Woman Passes
Away at Family Home After
Much Suffering. e" ~

Mrs. J. Delos Reed died yesterday
afternoon at $500 o'clock at the fam
lily home in Woodstock at the age Of
35 years.
Mabel Shearer, the daughter of NJ
U. and Martha Shearer, was born 81
years ago at Fennimore, Wisconsin
where the family still reside. She
came to Webster City some sixteen
years ago and was teacher in the
rural schools. On Feb. 26, 1898
she was united in marriage to J. De-
los Reed. To them four children
were born, Ida, He'll, Helen and
Robert. All except little He'll, who
died seven weeks ago at the age OF
ten years, are left motherless.
Mrs. Reed has been i'll since last
September, but not confined to her
bed until the past few weeks. Ev-
erything that medical skill and good
nursing could devise to stay the
progress of what proved to be an in
durable disease, seemed of little
avail, and her suffering has been
very great Through it all her Won
derful patience and thoughtfulness
for the comfort of her dear ones will
be blessed memory to them, and
in spite of their deep grief, they can
be thankful that to her has come
peace and rest.
Mrs. Reed has been consistent
member of the Methodist church for
many years. She was a devoted
wife, an ideal mother, and a faith
full friend. The sympathy Of the en-
tire community has been with this
afflicted family for many weeks.
Besides the husband and children,
the deceased leaves a mother-the
father having died three months
ago-a brother, five sisters and
many friends to mourn her death.
Her ~ mother and two sisters have
been with her much of the time dur
ing her illness. One sister, Miss
Florence Shearer, is a teacher in the
public schools at Boone. The broth
er, l.. NJ. Shearer, resides at Madi-
son, Wisconsin, one sister Mrs. H. c.
Henderson at Fennimore, Wisconsin,
and the other, Mrs, johnson, at La
Crosse.
The funeral will be held in Wool
stock Thursday afternoon at I
o'clock, with burial in Graceland
cemetery, this city. Complete ar
rangements, however, have not yet
been made.

Against Chase Bill.

Register and Leader: The Chase
bill requiring that stock trains be
provided with cars equipped with
sleeping berths will be reported for
indefinite postponement this morn
ing. In the committee there were
few supporters of the measure. The
stockmen of the state have been de-
handing such law for some time.
A fight will be made to have the
bill put on the calendar instead of
adopting the committee report. A
similar bill has been passed by the
house.

Caught, in Storm.

Miss Frances and Willie Clay
uaugh, son and daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs Pearl Claybaugh, who. reside on
a farm twelve miles southeast OF
this city. had narrow escape Sun
day night while going home in the
big wind and rain storm. They had
spent the day in town with the FAM
lily of their sister, Mrs.Chas, E Mar
tin, and started for home that after
noon at about $50 O'Clock. When
they reached the l.. Il. Treat farm
south of here they stopped to change
horses and 1t was while doing this
that the storm struck them. The
people who reside on this farm urg-
ed them to stay but they decided not
to do so. However. just as they left
that place they were caught by the
wind. Mr.. Claybaugh got out Of the
buggy thinking to turn the horses
around and retrace their steps back
to the farm house, but he had no
more than started to do this than
the wind hurled the buggy UP in
the air and turned Ii completely oy-
er twice with Miss Claybaugh cling
ing in it. The horses were jerked
loose and one of them was taken off
his feet and hurled over the young
man. He thinks that in the mixup
the animals foot must have struck
him in the side for he is badly
bruised there. Miss Glaybaugh says
she does not know how she got out
OF the buggy but after the ordeal
was over she was found by her
brother hanging to clump of fallen
tree branches by the side OF the
road. She suffered sprained ankle
and other bruises.
The buggy was completely demol-
ished. .3
After the wind storm was over
the two young people went back to
the Treat farm. where they spent the
remainder of the night.

The United Presbyterian: In this
season OF the year. when the thought
OF the Christian world is centered
upon the glorious fact of resurrec-
ton, it is fitting that we give a
prominent place in our prayers to
those whose hearts are burdened
with loneliness and sadness. Many
home is under the shadow of be-
reavement. There is a vacant place
at the fireside and the faces of those
that remained are stained with
tears The anguish of separation
aud the gloom of death are there.
Nothing but the gospel of the resur-
rection can meet the needs of the
sorrowing ones. No one but Christ
can answer the deep heart-questions
of those who stand weeping at the
grave. How great would, be 1he
darkness We're it not for the light
that streams from, his facet.

hill. walling with the stone, let
ting IL set into the ground as much
as possible TO make it cooler; the
door, or opening, TO be on the low
side Of the cellar. All of It should
be rooted with a good, double or lined
roof, something that will keep out
the great heat of the sun.
With a root cellar of this kind upon
your place, you are in a position to
take care of all kinds of good tubers
and vegetables of various kinds that
might otherwise go to waste and be
of no benefit in any way. 1t is not
too late to plant the large sugar or
stock beets if the ground is well pre-
pared; thoroughly fine and very deep,
so that they can take right hold and
grow without difficulty. Then there
is the rutabaga turnip that will make
a good crop late in the season, which
is a good keeper as well as the heavy
beet. Small heads of cabbage that
are not marketable, when put into
small hampers that will admit Of a
circulation Of air, can be kept a long
while in the cellar.
The short parts of clover or alfalfa,
leaves. etc, should all be saved and
stored in a dry place in the barn for
the poultry in winter A lot of large
gunny sacks come in very handy for
this work, as this stuff can be crowd
ed into these sacks where they are
easily handled and taken care of I'M
til wanted. With a good, rich piece
Of ground a nice crop of buckwheat
can be raised. If planted right now;
it natures quickly and makes a grain
that the hens are very fond of late
in the fall and winter when fed with
corn. Plant a good variety of all the
vegetable crops for there are very
few of them that the hens do not
relish and are ready to take care of
the surplus or refuse parts of them
Onions are another good crop, and
one that will keep well in this root
/ cellar and they are a regular tonic
| for the hens in winter and are very
much relished by them. Take care
Of every one of them. Let US wake
| up to the possibilities Of these crops
and the proper handling of them, as
| indicated. The taking care of these
apparently insignificant things and
| turning them to account will be
| largely responsible for the per cent
of profit that we will make from our
poultry during the coming year
Others take advantage of these things
| to good account; why not you?
