ADOPT RESOLUTION
HONORING MEMORY

The board of directors of the Young
Mems Christian association of Ottum-
wa. Iowa, by unanimous vote, adopted
the following resolutions relative to
the death of Major Samuel Mahon, at
a recent meeting of said board:
The unexpected death of Major Sam
uel Mahon, since our last regular board
meeting, has broken our ranks, and
left vacant place on this board.
Nature did a great deal for Major
Mahon. She endowed him with a
strong and clear intellect, an untiring
desire to know~things useful, and the
faculty of classifying and arranging
them logically in the order of their i'm
poriance. He believed that man lives
for a purpose, and his sense of re-
sponsibility and loyalty to duty was al
ways alert. He was man of firm in
tegrity for the right, of careful business
habits and keen practical judgment,
and was naturally aggressive. These
traits added to his civic pride, public
spiritedness and desire to be helpful,
made him one of the leaders among
men wherever found. AS such he was
recognized by this community for near,
ly half century. He has helped to
promote practically every new CHART.
able or benevolent enterprise that has
been successfully promoted in the city
during that time. In every important
emergency that has come upon the

HOLD CONFERENCE
ON DANCE QUESTION

Cedar Rapids, Feb 1S.-City Solicit
tor F. F. Dawley and Chief of Police
Burgin held a conference on the sub
ject of public dances this week. The
result of the discussion is that the Or
dinance in the chiefs book now reads
that dances conducted by fraternal
orders and attended by the members,
their families and invited guests, are
private dances, even though admission
is charged. Heretofore the ordinance
did not include the invited guests and
the police interpreted the ordinance
to mean that when dance was at
tended by non-members of lodge it
was a public dance.

MERRILL CO. HAS
FIRE At CREST0A
WHOLESALE GROCERY FIRM
susTAINs LOSS ESTIMATED
ABOUT $1,000.

Creston, Feb. 1S.-Monday night
about 1870 the fire department was
called to the Merrill wholesale house
on West Adams street, where flre
had gained considerable Roadway
This is a fine new building which has
been completed and occupied only fast
fall.
The fire was discovered by two par,
ties who were passing the building
They at once notified Mr.. Allen, whose
residence adjoins this property on the
east. Mr.. Allen then turned in the
alarm and the fire department made a
good run. The fire originated on the
second floor near the elevator smart,
and the cause of 1t is unknown. The
smoke was so dense that 1t was neces-
sary to break the windows In order
that it might escape.
After the arrival of the fire depart
ment the fire was soon under control.
The groceries were greatly damaged
by both fire, smoke and water. Man
ager Ben Glew states that it is impos'
sible to even approximate the loss
as goods in all parts of the building
are damaged and it will take thor
ough examination to ascertain the ex-
tent of the loss. The probability IS
that It will be from $4,000 to $S,oOO.
VERY little damage was done by fire,
but the smoke and water damage was
quite extensive. The damage to sugar
will constitute one of the largest items
of the loss.

for many years one of the largest con-
tributors of both time and money to

FAMILY IS ALMOST
TRAPPED BY FIRE

Norwich, Feb. 1S.-The residence
of ]. w. Hartman was burned We'd
nesday morning. The fire was dis
covered at O'Clock. first in one OF
the upstairs rooms, and just in time
for Mr.. Hartman to escape with his
children before the stairway had
caught fire. The origin of the fire is
thought to have been from defective
flue. This was the oldest residence
in Norwich having been built before
the railroad. and Mr.. Hartman had re-
modelled this house during the last
two years until it was good dwelling
and it was surely very unfortunate
fire. as it was so very early that 1t
was not possible for much help to be
obtained. Part of the household goods
were saved, but nothing was saved
from the cellar.

dedication of the Iowa building.
The commission also took up the
matter of moving pictures which are
to be shown in the building through
out the exposition period and ma
chinery was put in motion for the Sc
curing of the best pictures obtainable,
pictures that shall be representative
of Iowa institutions. They will be
taken in every part of the state and

enthusiasm than would have been
shown had the outcome been differ

At a special meeting of the vestry OF
Trinity church, Ottumwa, Iowa, on
Monday, February 8, 1915. the follow
ing appreciation was incorporated IN
the minutes:
We the vestry Of Trinity church at a
special meeting desire to record our
keen sorrow and the great loss we have
experienced in the death of our senior
warden, Major Samuel Mahon, which
occurred in the early morning of jan
uary 80.
We wish, moreover to offer this ap-
probation in memory OF Major Manon'
He was ever an earnest Cnrlstlan
gentleman of sterling qualities, faith
full in duties as churchman, endear-
ing himself to the church at large as
we'll as to the people of the parish and
community, especially to those VINO
were most closely associated with him
In business and in the work for the
progress of the kingdom of God. HIS
Christian virtues and unwearlng devo-
tion to his church stand out as special
characteristics in his useful and whole
some life.
Although, man on whose shout
ders rested the heavy burdens of mani
fold business interests, he never failed
to respond willingly to every demand
and to assume the responsibilities in
counsel and activity in matters per-
tanning to the interests of the church
in both diocesan and parish affairs.
For many years he served most eff
GENTLY as junior warden and as senior
warden since May Is, 1911 to the time
of his death.
We are therefore deeply sensible of
the personal loss and the loss to the
church and this community that his
passing has brought upon us, but We
still rejoice that we have had the privi-
lege of association and friendship with
one who has set for us worthy ex-
ample of faithfulness and energetic de-
yotion to the cause Of Christ and the
uplift and welfare of humanity.
To his family we wish to express our
heartfelt sympathy in their bereave-
ment and to say that words only made
ouately convey the thought of our
hearts for them in their Loneliness.
Grant him rest 0 Lord, and may
light perpetual shine on him.
Resolved: that this minute OF SYM
patty and appreciation be spread on
our records, given for publication to
local and church. papers and that a
copy of the same be presented to the
family of the deceased.
