lnoreas Earn Values.

BELNIDERB H., Dec. 15.-Farm-
ers in central Illinois have been the
cause of phenomenal increases in
prices of farm lands in the extreme
northern part of the state. In a per-
od of less than two years farm val
ues in Boone, McHenry and DeKalb
counties have advanced In many cases
more than $50 per acre and real
estate dealers say the southerners
did it. An example of this remark
able rise was afforded today when
Ira e. Bryan, of Princeton. a cousin
of Secretary OF State Bryan. paid
S217 90 per aero for lao acres near
Belvtdere, the record price in Boone
county for farm of this size. Eigh-
teen months ago when an attempt was
being made to close UP the estate of
the late DIR. Scott, this farm was Of
fered for $4,000 per acre, with no
takers.
1t is estimated that more than 500
central Illinois farmers have located
in northern Illinois during the past
two years. In most cases they ex-
planned they were able to get $4,000
per acre for their central Illinois
farms and finding farm lands in north
ern Illinois much cheaper than in
other parts of the state generally
they have continued to come until
practically every available farm in
the northern corn belt has been
bought UP at prices ranging from

LIS Air FreeY

BELLvILLE. H., Dec. 15.-Whether
or not air is free, was expected to be
decided today by the st. Clair county
court which has had under advisement
the above contention OF the Louisville

plans of the Western Union to con-
denim spaces 1Sx1S inches for setting
poles. The road contends that if the
company had a right to condemn land
for its line the ground SO secured
must include all that is overshadowed
by the cross arms and the wires on
the polling.
If the road is sustained the Western

Her Usefulness,

In the passing of Mrs. Streeter, Keo-
kuk has lost a woman whose place
will be very hard to fill. She was one
of the most widely known women OF
the city because of her great-hearted
interest In all organizations for the
uplift and the betterment OF the city.
She was a charter member OF the
Young Women's Christian Association
and through the eight years of its
existence was g. member of the board
of directors, serving for two years as
the recording secretary and six years
as its very efficient president. To
her faith and faithfulness is due the
existence of the fine Y. w. C. A.
building. She was one of the three
women who laid the first plans for the
organization of the Visiting Nurse
Association which is doing such splen.
did work. She was member of the
board of directors until failing health
made it necessary that she give it up.
She was a charter member of the
Civic League and member of the P.
II. y. SORORITY. She was a devoted
church women interested in all of its
activities. She was an unusually spiri-
tual woman, a woman of rare chris
tian character. She was charming
woman socially, and one whose friend
ship was priced very highly by many
people. The great trial which came
to her by her illness was not that she
suffered physically. but that her ill
ness caused her to give up the work
she SO dearly loved. While Mrs.
Streeter exerted wide influence for
good in the city, yet in her own home
was her greatest Joy and her first de.
votion was given to its interests. Her
doors were ever open in hospitality to
her friends.

Many hearts were cast in gloom
early today when 1t was whispered
around that Mrs. Kathryn Bradford
Streeter, wife of Mr.. Charles d. Street
er Of 729 Grand avenue, died last
evening.
1t has ,,sen very generally known
that Mrs. G. D. Streeter had been in
bad health for some time. With her
system shattered by the long and
strenuous work she had done in the
last year for the young women of Keo-
kuk, she became mentally unbalanced
and lay down on bed to die after
turning on all the gas jets in the room.
She was almost dead when discovered
later. And thus passed away a beau
tiful life.
She was one of the most prominent
and beloved women of Keokuk, for
ward in every commendable move
ment, gracious and pleasing in every
company in which she was found.
ties and won her way into the hearts
of this community by the gentle and
gracious qualities which she possess
ed. She had kind word for every
body and everybody had tender feel
ing for her. hence the grief that fol-
lows her death.
Kathryn Bradford was born at VIC
la, ILL.,, December 81, 1874 and on De-
no I'D n
Mr.. Charles d. Streeter. Friday of this
week would have been the eighteenth
anniversary Of her wedding day,
when bowed heads and tears of sor-
row will take the place Of Joy and
ngratulations-the wedding anniver-
sary robes will be laid away for the
habilaments Of death; instead OF
brides roses, pale lilies of death
will be placed.
In 1902 Mr.. and Mrs. Streeter came
to Keokuk to reside and Mrs. Street
er became a member Of the First
| Congregational church, at once becom
ing an active worker in the congrega.
ton. With all her activities outside,
she was much devoted to her hus-
band, her home and family.
| When the Young Womens Chris
tian Association was organized in
Keokuk in 1905, Mrs. Streeter WAS
elected director and secretary of the
board, serving in the latter capacity
in the most efficient manner for two
years and was then promoted to the
presidency Of the board, which posi-
ton she held for six years, resigning
only last October on account Of i'll
health.
She was a woman of ability, much
energy and determination and execu.
tive talent. 1t is claimed by many In.
terested in the work that had it not
been for her energy, persistency and
executive methods, the present fine
i building would not have been built.
Keokuk socially, morally and religious.

noblest of her kind would serve as a
fitting eulogy for Mrs. Streeter. If
there are never-dying roses, there is
