At EDDYv|LLE
FATHER NoF GEORGE ELLIOTT
PASSES AWAY-CAME TO
IOWA IN 1853.

Eddyville, May 13.--J. N. Elliott, a
pioneer citizen of Wapello county,
died Tuesday, May ~, at his home
In Eddyville. Joseph Noble Elliott
was born at Naples, Me-, January TO-,
1884. His parents both died while
he was very young and as a boy he
started out to shift for himself. He
worked in the logging camps in the
northern tier of states, gradually work
ing westward and reaching Iowa in
1858, since which time he has lived
in Eddyville continuously, except for a
few years spent in Abba and Oska
loosa. He was engaged in the hard
ware business the greater part of the
time after coming to Iowa and for
many years was one of Eddyville's
foremost merchants.
Mr.. Elliott was one Of the oldest
Masons in Wapello county, his initia-
.tion into the order dating back fifty
years. He was also member of the
Congregational church, of which he
had been a regular attendant for many
years.

lott suffered severe stroke of paral-
ysis and has been in poor health since
that time. During the past few
months, however, he had been improv-
ing materially until last Tuesday when
in moving about the house he fell, frac-
turing a bone. His weakened condi-
ton did not permit his recovery from
this shock and death relieved his suf-
fering Tuesday morning
In October, 1859, he was married to
Gertrude c. Snow. The surviving re-
latives are the widow, one daughter,
Mrs. Ada Carter and six sons, Charles
of Chanute. Kan, Frank of Great
Falls, Mont, William of Spokane,

We have to know something of the

the Occident has got beyond the actual

east is on the way to more Christian

The Present WARMING.

II there be any thick-headed pluto
Graf who thinks that before real harm
can come to him and his money-bags
he will receive some special warning,
he has but to read this parable Of
Jesus. It's clear closing teaching Is
that there is law and light enough now
to lead men to do right. No special
emissaries from heaven or hell could
accomplish more than the present Cos
pei 1t is not new religion, not a
new gospel, not specially accredited
teacher that this SHINING old world
needs today, but new spiritual sense,
new en-mindedness, a new atten-
ton to the clear truth of God. The
men who will not heed the present
signs of the times, and the present ex-
plicit teachings of social justice and Of
human brotherhood, will not harken IT
the angel Gabriel and his cohorts come
flying from heaven. We already have
truth enough to save-or condemn
the world
Dives in hell had a thought for his
brother. But his social service idea
came too late. God gives no second
chance in the next world, although he
is unbelievably patient in this. In
the counsels of heaven, evidently
NOW" and opportunity are synony-
nous. This is our last chance to make
things right with God and man.
One ominous last thought, for con.
sideration in our present social crisis.
Jesus told his immortal story from the
angle of the man who was poor and op-
pressed. 1t was directed straight at
the affluent supercilious, snobbish
Pharisees. He took the side of the
poor man. Evidently he thought that,
in the relationship between wealth
and poverty; it is wealth that needs
the more such tremendous lesson as
the Parable of the Rich Man and
Lazarus.

The Baron and The Beggar.
"And the Pharisees, who were lovers
Of money, heard all these things; and
they scoffed at him. And he said unto
them, Ye are they that justify your,
selves in the sight of men; but God
knoweth your hearts; for that which
Is exalted among men is an abomina'

Now there was a certain rich men

and q certain beggar named Lazarus
was laid at his gate, full of sores, and
desiring to be fed with the crumbs
that fell from the rich mans table;
yea, even the dogs came and licked his
sores. And 1t came to pass that the
beggar died. and that he was carried
away by the angels unto Abraham
bosom; and the rich man also died
and was buried. And in Hades he
lifted up his eyes, being in torments
and seeth Abraham afar of, and Lag
arus in his bosom. And he cried and
saith, Father Abraham. have mercy on
me, and send Lazarus, that he may
dip the tip Of his finger in water, and
cool my tongue; for I am in anguish
in this flame. But Abraham said, Son
remember that thou in thy lifetime re-
ceivedst thy good things, and Lazarus
in like manner evil things: but now
here he is comforted. and thou art in
anguish. And besides all this, between
us and you there is a great gulf fixed
that they that would pass from hence
to you may not be able, and that none
may cross over from thence to us. And

TWO MYSTERIES IN MARSHALL

Hardin, Ky.-Down near the little
station of Elva, Marshall county, there
is a large rock and on this rock is n
plain barefoot track of a man, and the
track of horse. The mans track
measures about 12 inches and the horse
track is about number four. How
these tracks came to be on this rock
is quite a mystery, which no one has
been able to solve. Hundreds of people
have been to see this rock and all
pronounce the tracks as genuine, but
can offer no explanation. There is also
between Hardin and Benton, a large
hole of water on top of high hill, in
which no bottom has ever been found,
neither does the water rise or fall but
remains the same at all seasons of the
year. These are two of Marshall coun-
