EMMA u. KINZEL

Emma L. Klnzel was the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry

more March Is, 1877. Her child
hood was spent in Little Grant
The death of her father Is years ago
and that of her mother four years
later left her as head of the rest Of
the family. She managed this well,
acting as mother to the other four
childI en-. After the death of her
mother Lancaster was her home
Deceased was seamstress. Her
work took her into many homes in
most of which she was considered
as one of the family.
Eight years ago she was confirmed
in the Episcopal church in which
she was an active member until her
death.
Her health seemed to be the best
until two months before she died.
Never was she heard to complain
and no one thought her condition so
critical. However, advised by her
physicians to undergo an operation,
she went to Chicago for that pur-
pose. Mrs. Trentzsch, aunt of the
deceased accompanied her and was
with her constantly. Hopes were
entertained for her recovery but on
July %, just one week from the
morning on which she was oper-
ated, she passed away, Mrs. Fred
Wenzel, with who u she made her
home, and Mrs. Harry Tornowske
were on their way to see her when
the unexpected news of her death
reached them.
AS a woman she was decidedly
unselfsh and reliable. Her kind
and jOvial manner made her loved
by all Size was dominant yet not
domineer1ng; her faith was real
She leaves TO mourn her loss three
sisters, Mrs. Harry Tornowske Of
Bloomington, Mrs. Fred Wenzel OF
this city and Miss Elisha Kinzel of
this city and one brother, George.

from the Emmanuel church. Arch
deacon Blossom of Madison read the

Hillside. The large funeral and the
vast amount of flowers sent at the
time or the funeral show to what g
degree she was respected by hel
friends.

resided in the neighborhood where he
died, township of Potosi, and was
respected by all who knew him.
He was kind and obliging as a
neigh Dor faithful to his creed, and
was good son and brother and low

months previous to dissolution he was
a great sufferer from dropsy and the
complications of other diseases. But
he was patient and in his last days
submissive and sustained by the con-
solutions of the faith in which he had
been reared and lived. His industry
and frugal management had provided
a fair competence for himself and
family. And it is regretted by the
many who respected and loved him
that be could not live to enjoy the
result of his labors. But the thought
of leaving his loved ones we'll pro-

The esteem in which the good man
was held was manifested by the very
large assembly at the funeral which
was held in st. Thomas church at

settle down for life. The people are
of pure European stock and have
many of the qualities, frankness and

nova days to worship bigness and
disparage small nations, Yet the
independent city communities, or the
small nations such as were England

have produced not only most of the
best literature and art but most of the
great men and great achievements
which history records. National life
is apt to be more intense and more
interesting ere it is concentrated
in an area % wide as to forbid
the people to know one another and
their leaders. Thus one cannot but
hope that the Uruguayans with some
favoring conditions, and without the
disadvantage of excessive wealth sud-
denly acquired, will seriously en-
deavor to smooth the road, now rough
and dangerous, over which the chariot
of their republican government has to

without exaggeration. Men and wo-
men who had achieved success on the
legitimate stage were at first induced
and at last became perfectly willing
to lend their efforts to the production
of films that would compare with the
staged productions aided by the voice.
Then there grew up a class of actors
who devoted themselves entirely to
moving picture production.
In the meantime millions of dollars
have been attracted to the motion pic
ture industry. There is scarcely a
block in the larger cities that does not
boast a "nicke!ette." Nearly every
hamlet has at least one picture
show" Someone has estimated the
number of admissions" for last year
at 5000, 100000 which would give ev-
cry man, woman and child one visit a
week to the movies. People are no
longer attracted in droves by the an
nouncement of an exhibition OF the
kinetoscope, for the movies have be-
come an institution and. everybody
goes; not to see a marvel, but to while
away an hour or so.
But the real growth of the moving
picture is evidenced by the report of
the government that the 1913 exports,
or put another way, the surplus manu-
factures of the United States, will
reach 13O,OOO,OOO feet, each foot capa-
BILE of being used again and again, and
the companion announcement that the
United States is now making three
fourths of the films used in the world.

eide ended the case.

eide ended the case.
Earlier still, a Philadelphia street
railway official who seemed to need
some cash, filled out a bunch Of new
stock certificates in his own name and
so got the money rather easily.
The case of safe deposit superin
tendent in Philadelphia a couple Of
years ago was even more extraordi-
nary than these others.
He took s1,9OO,0OO in securities. with
about $4,000 cash from the vaults Of
the trust company that employed him.
The securities were carried in two
old suit cases and were checked in a
German city in an ordinary storage
house. They remained there for
months untouched.
This man crossed the ocean six times
during the subsequent negotiations
with detectives for the return of the
stocks and bonds. He went across the
American continent to San Francisco
twice.
His motive in travelling was to in
sert advertisements in about fifty diff
ferent newspapers, as this was his
method Of carrying on his communica-
tions with the authorities. He went
from place to place so that 1t was diff
ficult to locate in which one Of the fif-
ty cities he might be.
All the securities were returned, but
not the $4,000 cash.
Quite a number Of banks and some
brokers in Philadelphia have what
may be called blanket insurance.
This Is a different thing from the or
binary bonding of individuals, which
Is done by the surety companies.
A broker takes out say a 100000
policy to cover any loss; whatsoever
which may occur through the error
or connivance OF an employee, or
which comes from any outsider.
It is the same thing as II farmer
were to insure against any possible
loss to his crops through drought, ex-
cessive rain, heat; cold, hail or snow.
You may insure yourself against
having a cold when the assembly ball
occurs, or against case Of measles
during the next worlds series.
This greatest of betting concerns IN
the world, which is known as Lloyds'
simply lays a wager at odds, which 1t
has carefully figured out, that this or
that thing won't happen.
Judging by the prosperity Of this
unique institution, it Is also safe

THE "MovlES" HAVE GROWN
Over 5000, 100000 Attended the Nickel
Shows Last Year.

With the possible exception of those
who have not yet entered their teens
most of us remembsr the various
stages through which the moving pic
ture has passed. In the beginning, as
usual, all good things came from
abroad. Today, which also may be
classed as usual, Europe and the rest
of the world look to the United
States. Three fourths Of the films used
in the world are now made in this
country, and of the films of American
manufacture $4,000 miles will be ex-
ported this year. This means 10000
0G0 feet of fixed movability, If the con-
Trajectory compound Is allowed.
A few years ago the moving picture
it was called the kinetoscope then
was a feature. Only now and then did
some enterprising vaudeville house an
nounce it had secured one Of the mar
velous new films and the announce
ment served to pack the house from
garret to cellar. Next, some OF the
theater managers began using them
between the acts with sad results to the
neighborhood bar trade, for who would
go out to meet friend when the op-
portunity was offered Of viewing the
new marvel? Gradually the produc-
ton Of the films extended, but 1t was
several years before any one risked
capital in the enterprise devoted en-
tirely to the presentation Of canned
drama" Only 1t wasn't drama then.
A moving train, view Of the street
crowds, a procession Of absurd, clown
ish antics staged in some Paris sub
urb. 1t was deemed the proper thing
to show at least one humorous skit
and three or four serious ones.
It dawned rather slowly on film ma
kers that while action was necessary
to the production Of film which would
be readily followed by the audience,
or rather spectators, that it was not
essential that action be energetic or
exaggerated. It would be better possi-
bly, to say that the producers began to
realize that antics were not action.
Facial expression, the twist Of hand
or the shrug of a shoulder were as
readily understood as the pursuit Of
rogue by a company of tumbling, hur-
ding acrobats. Actors began to re-
place performers in film companies,
and the actors began to study more
closely how to register the emotions
