Former Bonair Pastor browns

The many friends of Rev. G. w.
Meyers, formerly pastor of the Bonair
M. E. circuit, were inexpressibly shock
ed to hear of his death by drowning,
which occurred last Saturday afternoon
at Bassett, Iowa, where he has been To-
Gated for nearly year.
| From the New Hampton Tribune, we
reprint the following account of the sad
accident:
'"The death of Rev. G. w. Meyers of
Bassett at $50 Saturday evening, by
being drowned in the Cedar river, was
a great shock to the entire community
and has caused a feeling of deepest
sorrow to all who knew this splendid
young minister.
Rev. Meyers and Rev. Lackman, an
evangelist, were holding meetings at
Bassett, and Rev. Meyers had taken
the boys to the river for an afternoons
entertainment. While in bathing he
went down with the swift current of
the swollen stream.
Lloyd Potter rescued Tie DOOy III
about 20 minutes and DR.. Niemack of
Charles City was called and brought his
pulmotor, but life was extinct.
Rev. Meyers is survived by his wife
and one child, daughter, to whom our
most sincere sympathy is extended.
The funeral was held at his church in
Bassett, Monday, and the remains
taken back to his old home in Illinois
for burial.
During the stay of Rev. Meyers at
Bonair, the Plain Dealer folks became
very we'll acquainted with him and feel
his loss in a personal way. Mr.. Meyers
was an earnest and sincere preacher Of
the gospel who lived his religion to the
best of his ability.

OBITUARY
BARNES

Mary Clare, eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. James Conry, was born Oct.
26, 1879, at Lourdes, Iowa., and died
July 6, 1915, at her home in Cresco.
On Nov. 1s, 1902, she was united in
marriage to Frank T. Barnes. Their
union was blessed with four children,
to sons and two daughters. One son,
an infant, preceded her in death. AL
though she was constant sufferer for
nearly year, she bore her sufferings
bravely, never being known to COM
plain. She was .consoled in the faith
that God Furnishes most those whom He
loveth best She was kind hearted
and affectionate wife and mother and
devoted daughter and. sister. She
!. asaa;tk I4saocsIs IA tasc Catholic
church and died strengthened by its
sacred rites. She died as she lived, a
true Catholic, an example which we
may benefit by.
Many who gazed on her calm, happy
face, as she lay in her casket, could not
but say, "How beautiful and yet how
sad death is." Especially so in this
case, where three small children are
bereft of a mothers love and tender
care, but she commended them to God s
loving care and reconciled herself to
His holy will and entered that sleep
that knows no wakening.
To mourn her earthly departure she
leaves kind husband, three children,
a father and mother, two sisters, four
brothers and a host of relatives and
friends.
Requiem High Mass was celebrated
in the Church of the Assumption in
Cresco by Rev. T. j. Murtagh, at the
close of which he paid faithful tribute
to the life of the deceased.
The remains were taken to Lourdes
and inferred in Our Lady of Lourdes
cemetery beside those of her brother
who preceded her in death few years.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our neighbors and
friends who so kindly assisted US during
the sickness and at the time of the
death of our beloved wife, mother and
daughter. Also to thank the choir and
those who furnished flowers.

Naturalization Applicants Should Note

A. H. Bode, Of Des Moines, U. S.
Naturalization Examiner in the Bureau
of Naturalization, Department of La
Dor, last Wednesday examined the nat
uralization records in the Office Of the
clerk of the district court at Cresco.
Since the passage of the present nat
uralization law on June 20, 1906, the
naturalization Of aliens is in charge of
the Federal Government. The Bureau
of Naturalization is conducted by at
torneys highly specialized in laws re-
lating to naturalization and it is their
duty to insure the legal naturalization
of aliens of good moral character.
According to the examiner a large
number of foreigners in Howard coun-
ty are negligent in attending to their
naturalization. Many are permitting
their declarations of intention, of first
papers, to expire. All declarations of
intention made since Sept. 26, 1906, the
date when the present law became eff
fective, expire seven years after the
date when filed. These expired decla-
rations cannot be used for any purpose
and to do so is in violation of the Fed
eral law. This seven year Limitation,
however, does not apply to declarations
made prior to Sept. 26, 1906.
Mr.. Bode finds that some sixty-fve
declarations ofintention filed in Howard
county, under the new law, will expire
in a short time unless the holders file
applications for full citizenship. Ap-
proximately 200 foreigners are now re-
siding in Howard county who are eli
gible to make applications for final nat
uralization. 1t would seem that these
aliens do not appreciate the value of
American citizenship.
Applications for citizenship may be
made at any time. At least ninety
days must elapse, however, before pc
titions can be heard by the court. The
next naturalization hearing in the dis
trict court at Cresco will be had on
November 80, 1915, and all petitions
which have been on file at least ninety
days prior to that date will be disposed
of.
Information concerning the steps
necessary to become naturalized may
be obtained from j. w. Platt, clerk of
the district court at Cresco. The SER
vices of the Bureau of Naturalization
are also at the disposal of applicants
without cost t0sthem.

n. D. Petersen received . bad burn
on his right hand and forearm last
Monday. He and his wife and Ellis
Glass and wife were going by auto to
Charles City via. New Hampton, when
an experience in mud hole disabled
the car so that the water in the radiator
became excessively hot and stop was
made to add cool water. MIR. Petersen
removed the radiator cap when the
released steam and water gushed out,
scalding the arm so badly as to remove
all the skin. Mr.. Petersen had the
burn dressed in Charles City, and
although it has been rather painful
since the burn, is now healing nicely.
Fortunately, Mr.. Petersen carries two
accident policies.

Great Scientist
Approves Death
Of Chicago Babe
BY Woods Hutchinson. AN. MD.

by AOOdS Hutchinson, AN. MD.
PORTLAND. Ne. Nov. 1s.-Keen
and widespread interest has been
aroused by the decision OF a surgeon
in a Chicago hospital not TO operate
on a defective baby so as TO save its
life. because II It survived IL would
be an imbecile; the decision being con-
scented TO and concurred IN by the par
ents OF the child. Already members
OF the Illinois Humane society have
approved the decision. The world
really is becoming rational at last;
thanks 10 science.
The right 10 live is one Of the high
est and most indisputable Of human
rights, but there is nothing sacred or
iTrevOcable about it. Supreme in the
ory il has always been qualified IN
practice by the higher welfare Of the
community on the one hand and the
happiness OF the individual on the
other The law takes the life of the
vicious and irreclamable criminal to
protect the community. The nation
demands that the citizen risk and lay
down his life for it's salvation The
father may kill the rObber in defense
OF his home. On the other hand, the
right OF the individual to cease to be
when life becomes intolerable and
existence simply means agony or dis
grace, is practically granted, though
theoretically denied. Even the one
influence, the church, which has most
loudly proclaimed the sacredness Of
human life, has denounced the sin Of
suicide. is coming TO take a broader
and more reasonable view, and was,
in an earlier day, not wholly unwilling
TO kill the body in order TO save the
soul
Taken from every point Of view,
the decision Of the Illinois surgeon
seems commendable. From the point
Of view of the unfortunate infant. If
you yourself were given the choice be-
tween painlessly ceasing to be or con-
tinuing to live as an idiOtic and imbe-
Gle. a source of wretchedness and
misfortune to yourself, an object OF
repulsion and loathing to your kind,
and burden and sore disgrace TO your
family and your friends you would
scarcely hesitate many moments.
