MAJOR LACEY DEAD
Wei known Politician and War Vet
eran Drops Dead in Oskaloosa
on Sunday Last.

Hon. John F. Lacey dropped dead at
the door of his home in Oskaloosa.
Iowa, at noon, September 18th. the
cause of his death being apopleXy. Fe
had just returned from town, where
he had been engaged in business, and
when his wife greeted him at the door
he complained of illness, and asked
for a glass of water. He died before
he could drink it.
Major Lacey was a prominent figure
in Iowa politics for many years. He
entered congress from the Sixth Iowa
district in 1889, continuing in office
until 1907, and made himself splen-
did record as chairman of the commit
tee on public lands. 1t is safe to say
that when he retired from congress
there was no man in public life so
we'll qualified to deal with questions
of public lands as was Mr.. Lacey. 1t
was often said that he would have
made a splendid secretary of the in
terror.
While he was modest gentleman
he was an encyclopedia of informa.
ton on all public questions. He was

and clean life. His record in the Civil
war was such as to commend him for
bravery and ability. We are not pre-
pared to say whether this was true at
the time of his death, but we do know
that short time ago he made state
ment that he had never applied for or
received a pension from the govern
ment, although he had been entitled
to one.
Major Lacey was what would be
termed a standpatter in the politics
of this state, and while he was a
standpatter he never lost the respect
of the people who differed with him
on political questions. He contested
with Governor Cummins for choice
of voters of the state of Iowa on SEN
atorial preference in the primary that
selected Cummins. He was regarded
as good senatorial timber, but his con-
sentative views on public questions
did not meet with the approval of the
voters of Iowa.

The attractiveness of the rooms was
heightened with their yellow and green
decorations. Jonquils were lavishly used
among the ferns and palms massed in
White roses and carnations further ae-
centpated the predominant gold and
white color scheme.
The bride, who is an extremely pretty
girl, was attired for the wedding and her
journey in blue taiored suit and small
blue hat to match. With the great clus
ter of white roses showered with lilies OF
the valley, which she held during the
wedding ceremonial, she made a charm

by the Rev. DR.. Preston Blake.

Her features are classic in their regu-

There is a bigness, a wholesomeness
about her that is delightful, an absolute

Suggestions for Young Invalid

II feel much interested in the letter
from g. w. asking for suggestions for
the young girl who is confined to bed

cupation. 1 have wondered If she would
care to try a plan which my little
daughter once enjoyed:
Take pieces of stiff cardboard about
is inches long and eight wide-the ex-
act color does not matter Paste on
each side of these the picture postals
which are so numerous in every home
these days. The cards are often pretty
and interesting and one will be sur
prised to find how absorbed one be-
comes in arranging them In various
positions on the sheets of cardboards.
Cardboard, by the way, can be bought
lat a stationerss or old boxes can be-
utilized, provided they are clean. The
best part of all is that these picture
sheets are welcome in a ehildren's
home or in ward In child's hospital
or anywhere where there are sick
children, as they can be held in the
little hands which are not strong
enough to hold picture book.
