FIRST F NATIONAL BANK
BUYS THORPE BUILDING.
Bank TO OCCUPY CORNER LocA-
TloN. TRUST COMPANY TO
BE ORGANIZED.
ENTIRE BUILDING TO Be REMODELfD
o. r. Young Elected County Ensin-
eer. New Office Created BY
Last Legislature.

The most important transaction
OF the year In Manchester bust
ness circies was consu:nmated TO.
DAY by deal whereby The
FIRST National Eank purchased the
three story Thorpe building at
Inc corner of Franklin # and Main
streets In this city. The tank con-
templates occupying the entire
srOunl floor tor2its banking busi-
ness. The room will be entirely re-
modelled, new vaults and fixtures
and complete new furnishings Will be
D Installed. Glass fronts ana new
entrance will be put in, and com
5plete up-to-date banking room ar
ranged.
The stockholders OF the bank have
for some time contemplated the or
ganization OF a Trust company TO
be conducted in connection with the
banking business. and the new quar-
ters with the additional space will
now permit OF carrying these plans
into effect. The preliminary steps
have already been taken for the Or
ganization of the Trust Company,
and It will probably be ready for
bus siness when the new Trust Com
pany law goes into effect on July
4th next.
81 The First National is to be con-
graduated upon securing such de-
sirable, location for its business,
which by reason of its recent growth
has felt the need OF more room
than the present quarters afford.
Plans had been drawn for remodel
ing the building now occupied by
the bank, but these will now be
abandoned, and the Thorpe building
remodeled. The present intention is |
to arrange the second floor into Of
flee suites and the third floor for
lodge rooms. The building when
completed be great improve
ment and one that every citizen OF
should feel proud OF. It
is expected that work will be start
e on the building by early summer,
but considering the character and
extent OF the improvements to be
made, 1t Is likely that it will take
until the first OF the coming year
to complete them and allow the
bank to get settled in its new loca-
tion. t4

MRS. HENRY BR,NxMAN DIES At
PETERSBURG.

Delaware county friends regret to
learn of the death Of Mrs Henry
Brinkman on Sunday, April %, 1913.
at the home of her son near Peters
burg. The following tribute Is taken
from the Dyersville Commercial of
last week:
MRS. Bernadine Brinkman, aged
73 years, died at the home Of her son
Clemens, a short distance northwest
Of Petersburg, at $3.50, o'clock Sun
day morning, after an illness of but
a weeks duration. Mrs. Brinkman
had been in the best Of health and
able to assist in the work about the
household up to but few, days prior
to her demise, when she was stricken
with a form Of heart trouble, from
which she failed to rally, her death
following as stated above. The news
Of her demise came as surprise to
her numerous friends, who greatly
regretted learning Of her departure.
'Bernadine Steinkamp was born in
Cincinnati, Ohio, September /, 1910.
Her parents came from Germany sew
eral years before and settled in Ohio.
Growing to young womanhood, she
was married on September 8, 1857, at
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mr.. Henry Brink
man. They took up their residence in
the Ohio metropolis, where Mr..
Brinkman followed the carpenter
trade for quite number of years or
until February, 1871, when the
family came west to Iowa and settled
on what Is now known as the Henry
Boekenstedt farm, three miles
northwest of Petersburg. In 1876
they moved to the Sassen farm and
one year later onto the homestead ad-
joining Petersburg. Her husband
died June 10, 1877, and since that
time Mrs. Brinkman has made her
home with her sons, Glen and Ger
hard.
Five children survive-Rev. J. H.
Brinkman, OF Gutenberg; Rev.. A.
Fred Brinkman, of Clinton, Iowa;
Henry Brinkman, Petersburg, Ne
braska, and Clemens and Gerhard, at
home. One son and a daughter, John
and Theresia, died in 1886, both pass
ing away within week, the family
having been stricken with diphtheria.
Bernard, another son, died in 1887.
He wsss student of theology, hav-
ing SSldied period of four years
for sShe priesthood.
The death of this estimable woman
marks the passing of another of the
few remaining of the older pioneer
residents of that vicinity. She was a
kind and considerate mother, a true
friend and neighbor and her sincere
Christian principles are attested by
the fact that three of her sons had
been given ito the cause of religion.
Mrs. Brinkman's decth has caused
universal sorrow.
"The funeral was held to IS. Pet
er and Paul,s church at Petersburg
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.
Solemn requim mass was read by
Rev. ]. H. Brinkman, assisted by
Rev. A. Fred Brinkman as deacon
and Rev. Fielder as sub-deacon The
funeral was very largely attended.
The pallbearers were Henry Koelker,
Henry Sassen, John Nurre, Frank
Rolfes, Theo Bruggemann and Bar.

A Paris newspaper tells the world
that the powers of Europe should
make it known TO the United States
that humanity has nothing to gain
from armed Intervention in Mexico
by us. Evidently Europeans are quite
without any understanding of the
characters of Woodrow Wilson and
William Jennings Bryan. They seem
to believe that their hostility to Huer-
Ia and his methods implies armed
hostility unless Huerta yields.
A great many Americans are
equally ready to rank Wilson and
Bryan. among those diplomats who
talk one thing and mean another.
All these people are misled by the
fact that they cannot believe in the
honesty of any man in the field of
diplomacy. But these two men, are
honest, even in diplomacy, and what :
they have said they mean.

all day and who was so terribly
weary, get up and give her seat to an

Every hour you can see some of the
goodness of the world, if you are
looking for it. But you won't see it
if you think the world is a hopeless
place to live in.
Even if we take the industrial sit

ing class by the capitalist, there is
still reason to pucker up our lips
and smile, even if we do not laugh
aloud. -
For you cannot deny the fact that
although capital is abusing labor,
there is one great big ray of sunshine
through the clouds of gloom in the
fact that labor has awakened to a
knowledge of the situation and is bat
ting for liberty.
