Iron County register., 1915-10-21

occurred in the Missouri Baptist San
itarium, st. Louis, Wednesday after
noon, October l3, 1915, at 2:45 O'Clock.
Esther was taken sick several weeks
ago with an ailment which the local
physicians diagnosed as pleurisy. He
was taken to st. Louis about three
weeks previous to his death, and put
under the care of specialists, but they
afforded no relief. The body was TAX
en- to Pennington Thursday and the
funeral was held from the Baptist
church there Friday afteanoon. To
the breaved we extend our profound
sympathy.
The community learns with general
regret of the transfer of Rev. Father
]. F. Adrian from Arcadia College to
Jennings, Gust outside the city limits
in st. Louis county,, Mo-, where he
will organize a new parish. For near
ly ten years Father Adrian has been
attached to Arcadia College and par
ish as assistant to Rev. L. O. Wernert,
and in that time has endeared himself
to all, "regardless of religion or poll
tics.n That he will make good in his
new field is assured by his energy, his
faithfulness, and his devotion to duty.
Jennings is to be congratulated, but
its gain is a most decided loss to Ar
cadia parish. The REGISTER extends
its best wishes for Father Adrian in
his new field, whittier he goes about
November 1st. He will be succeeded
here by Rev. Fl. Krankenmier, recent
ly ordained, of Kirkwood.
The Prosecuting Attorney states
that he has heard several complaints
recently in regard to violation of the
"Anti- Cigarette Law, and before in
stituting prosecutions he wishes to
call attention to the following Sections

to begin gold medal contests. Instruc'

State Superintendent visits us in tht
