iowa Senate lavited Wim to A66fess
Them Msa1ay, and fxtsa6e6 :
Vote Of Thanks 70 Ula.

Capt.. D. Brown, of Leon, ex.
senator from this district, was sig
nally honored by the Iowa Senate
last Monday. Capt. Brown was in
Des Moines on business, and dropped
into tho Senate chamber to see some
of his old colleagues, he having been
a member of the last session. He
had hardly found a seat when his
p1 essence was noticed and Senator
amilton, moved that Sen
ator Brown be escorted to the presi-
dents desk, which was done and the
president formally presented him as
a former senator. A speech was
demanded from him. but he
told the senators he did not
come to make them a speech
but just a little social visit.
But a speech they would have, and
Capt. Brown made the best little
speech he ever made in his life, end
ing by telling them of his trip to the
National G. A. r. Encimpment at
Los Angeles last summer, he being
the commander OF the department of
Iowa. When he got started he
warmed up and the senators, were
nightly pleased with his speech and
stories and when he concluded a
vote of thanks was extended to him
by the senate and it was ordered
that the Senate Journal show the
vote. Capt Brown is a personal
friend of many Of the leading men
of the state and no one knows him
but wants to call him friend. He is
a genial, whole souled old fellow,
who makes good anywhere.

Mrs. Mary Fear.

Mary Day was born in Weare,
Somersetshire, England, June 26,
1888, and die at her home in Grand
River, Iowa, Feb. 10, 1913, aged IA
years, 7 months and 16 days.
With her. parents, Augustus and
Jane Day, she came to America in
1S47, when she was 9 years of age.
She was united in marriage to Rob
ert Fear, March II, 1857, and to
their union were born 8 children,
Alice, William, Louisa, Minnie,
Frank, Lille, Ella and Robert l.. Mr..
Fear died about 21 years ago, on
March 29, 1892. Six children sur

She united with the Methodist
Episcopal church in England when
about seven years of age, and re-
manned faithful tenant Of this faith
until called to the church trium-
phant which is without fault, before
the throne of God. Hers was a life
invested for God and it brings large
in it's return to humanity. Her
large and we'll trained family, the
utmost respect of her community,
and her fine knowledge of Gods
word, with an unshaken confidence
in God and the right, these are the
worth whiles of life. To converse
with her on the Bible was pleasure,
as she was at home in it's history or
it's devotional books. Thus we see
the secret of this life's output for
good, for the Bible was to her the
guide to life and a lamp 70 her feet.
Children, mother has gone, but
just behind the curtain of futurity,

and ending of this noble life.

Will Take Newspaper Contest Into
E@y Court.

The Decatur County Journal has
served notice on county auditor Nc
Laughlin that it will contest the APP
pointment OF the Lamont Chronicle
and Garden Grove Express by the
board of supervisors az two OF the
official newspapers OF Decatur county
for the year 1913, on the grounds
that their lists of subscribers as FL
ed with the county auditor were not
properly certified, were not compos-
ed of bona fide yearly subscribers,
that subscriptions were given away
for the purpose Of building up, pad
ding and increasing their lists with
the intent to procure appointment
as official papers, and that the fraud
was against the Decatur County
Journal, which failed to be named as
one of the official papers. The ap-
peal from the decision of the board
of supervisors goes to the district
court and the evidence in the con-
test will probably be heard at the
coming March term of court.
