SUDDEN DEATH
OF MRS. Ills. LEE
Found Dead in Bed Early This Morn
ing in Apartments at Sold
iers Home in Mar
shalltown!
WAS NO PREVIOUS ILLNESS
Relatives and Friends in This City
are Shocked Over Receipt
of Message.

A telephone message was received
here this forenoon by relatives of
Mrs. Henry S. Lee, bringing the sad
and startling intelligence that Mrs.
Lee was found dead in her bed this
morning at about o'clock by her
husband in their apartments at the
soldiers home in that place. The
message said that Mrs. Lee had not
been i'll and the news of her sudden
taking away comes as a great shock
to them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee are old-time res
idents of this city, Mrs. Lee being a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. P. Nc
Rowan, now both deceased, pioneer
settlers of Hamilton county. The
bereaved husband is brother of E.
R., Geo. w. and John H. Lee. She
was very we'll known in this COM
munity, having spent nearly all of
her life here, and her sudden death
will be mourned by large number
of friends.
John H. Lee left today for Mar
shalltown and will accompany
the remains to this city for the bur-
ial service. It is probable that the
funeral will be held Thursday after
noon at 8 O'Clock in the Christian
church, the deceased having been an
active and prominent member OF
that society for many years.

Report is True,

Having heard that the new street
pavement was cracking in places a
Freeman-Tribune man made an in
vestigation this morning and found
the report true. There are num-
Der OF places where cracks reaching
almost from gutter to gutter appear.
There is one on Elm street in front
OF the Alexander Groves residence
and one on Bank street between the
Universalist and U. B. churches and
a number OF others in different loca-
tions. Whether this Is serious de-
feet or not the Freeman-Tribune
does not know. but 1t has been told
these cracks will disappear with the
appearance OF warm weather.
C. d. Doolittle made an examina-
tion this morning of the block on
Walnut street between Des Moines
and Prospect streets and reports
that there are six cracks in the
block. One OF them is more pro-
nounced than the others and some
small pieces have been Clipped out
by something. possibly the shoes OF
horses. Mr.. Doolittle doubts that
these cracks will close in warm
weather. They will fill with dirt. OF
course.
Others report that the asphaltic
concrete is drawing away from the
gutter in places, which will allow
the water to get in and may heave
the pavement by freezing.

some HARD SAYINGS
OF THE MASTER
Rev. Kamphoefner Closes Series Of
Special Sermons at Metho-
dist Church.

Rev. c. H. Kamphoefner, who has
been delivering some special SER
mons at the Methodist church upon
the subject of Some of the hard
sayings of the Master" closed the
series last Sunday evening with an
able address on the topic, "The Great
Paradox" Preaching from the words
found in John 1925: ''He that
loveth his life shall lose it, and he
that hateth his life in this world
shall keep it unto life eternal" Mr.
Kamphoefner said that while the
Master was thinking primarily Of
his own life and death and mission
in the world, in the statement Of the
text, he laid bare principle that
applied to the life of every man. He
who struggles most to conserve his
own life usually finds it most fruit
less. There is a life indeed, or an
existence at least, for those who are
self-centred and ungenerous, but it
is barren life.
He referred to the story that
grains taken from an Egyptian
mummy had been planted and had
terminated in England, as illustrate
ing the tenacity of wheat with re-
spect to life. But while the wheat
thus stored away might retain life,
it would be a lonesome life. It
abideth, but cit abideth alone"
He illustrated the thought that
those found "life indeed" who
brought into it the most of self-sur
render, by reference to the lives Of
Florence Nightingale, the angel of
the Crimea, and to Helen Gould.
He said that in our Christian
life there should be manifest the
spirit of soldier. While the exca-
vators were digging away the ruins
of Herculaneum, they came upon the
body of a Roman soldier, who, while
the rivers of fiery lava and clouds OF
volcanic ashes were covering the
city, stood at his post of duty, dis
daining fight as unbecoming to a
Roman soldier. Such, said the speak
err, is the fiber of the true soldier OF
the cross. tfF

Home Girl Honored.

sThe oratorical department Of Cor
nell college. Mt. Vernon, gave an en-
tertainment, in the college auditor
ium recently, in which Miss Leila
Hughes, one of our Webster City
girls, distinguished herself. One of
the numbers in this entertainment
was a dramatic comedy scene in
which Miss Hughes took the leading
role, and the Mt. Vernon press COM
ments state that the best and the
most work in this presentation was
done by Miss Hughes as Nancy"
Her Interpretation of the part was
fine. and the impulsive girlishness
Of Nancy was source of much
delight.
We are always glad to note these
favorable comments upon the work
done in the colleges by the young
people from this city.
