Little Hugh George Mcintosh came
into the world happy dimpled baby,
Feb. 18th, 1906, at Cresco, the second
son of Duncan and Lunetta Mcintosh.
His happy disposition and lovable
ways endeared him to all who knew
him, and most of his little life has
been spent among the friends among
whom he first saw the light of day. At
the tender age of four years he was at
tackled by hip disease and in June, 1913,
he was taken to St. Louis to a SAM
tarium where he spent II months being
treated for this trouble, and in spite OF
the complete cure Of the disease the
remainder of his life he was was oblig-
ed to walk on clutches. However his
i'll health did not make him peevish or
fretful, but on the other hand served to
make him even more sweet of dispo-
sition and the independence with which
he bore his affection won for him the
respect and admiration of all who knew
him. Three weeks ago today he was
taken with the disease that caused his
death and after days of the intensest
suffering and brave struggle for life
his little spirit was released Saturday
evening, Aug. 28th.
He leaves to mourn his loss, his par
ents, brother Arthur, and little sis
ter Charlotte, also his grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Alex. Mcintosh, and
uncles and aunts who have done all
that loving hands could do to relieve
his suffering.
Funeral services were from the Bap-
fist church Tuesday afternoon and
burial At Oak Lawn. Several relatives
of the family came from DEBORAH for
the services. Many beautiful flowers
the gift of friends old and young help
ed to show the loving response and
sympathy that the intense suffering
but brave little spirit had called forth.
Rev. Petit came from Des Moines to
conduct the services and his having
been through experiences so much the
same as the afflicted family, gave to
his words power and comfort.

We wish to thank the many friends
for the kindness expressed in SO many
beautiful and thoughtful ways during
the illness and death of our beloved lit
tie Hugh. For the many floral trib-
utes, so expressive of the pure little
life untainted by sin.

and Family.

Seriou, Fire at Lime Springs.

Fire early Wednesday morning left
The old postoffice building wrecked al
most beyond repair, badly damaged the
y. ]. Williams building occupied by
Roy A. Vanderbie's hardware, and was
only prevented from destroying these
buildings and the Jones & Jones store
on the corner by the splendid efforts
put forth by the members of the fire
department and other citizens.
The fire was discovered about 4 o.
clock by G. A. Rowland who had aris-
On early with the intention of going out
with a hunting party. BY the time the
alarm was given and volunteers were
On the scene a big blaze was shooting
heavenward from the two buildings and
It looked at that time as if all the
wooden structures were doomed. But
when lines of hose were laid and two
streams of water thrown on the blaze
the flames were subdued and within q
short time the fire was under control.
The outside of the old postoffice build
ing which is owned by S. H. Hall is
badly charred as is also the south side,
roof and front of the hardware store.
The roof of Mr.. Halls building is al
most entirely destroyed and this build
ing is badly damaged.
Mr.. Vanderbies stock and fixtures
are in bad shape, from the effect of
water and smoke and his store will re-
main closed until settlement is made
with the insurance companies.
Postmaster Horton had intended to
move today into his new building which
is already and he did move but it was
done pretty early in the morning and
in bigger hurry than was the ex-
pectation. All mail and valuables with
the exception of 1000 two-cent stamped
envelopes We're saved. The fixtures
and boxes were all taken out but are
more or less battered and broken.
Appearances seem to indicate that
the fire originated in the space between
the buildings but from what cause will
probably never be known.
Both buildings, the hardware stock
and the postoffice fixtures are protect
ed by insurance.-Lime Springs Sun.

The Sherwood Music School, of Chi
cago, has well deserved reputation for
thoroughness in all its departments.
No certificates or diplomas are grant
ed to pupils who cannot satisfactorily
pass all examinations, and fill all re-
quirements in both Technic and Inter-
probation.
The course of Normal Training is
carefully planned to meet the needs of
teacher and pupil, and is invaluable.
Miss Berenice E. Laidlaw has been a
student at the Sherwood Music School
for the past two years, having COM
pleted the Graduate and Post Graduate
course, including the Normal Training.
Although a successful teacher and
competent pianiste before, she has made
herself doubly efficient by her studying
and teaching experience in Chicago.
Too many teachers ignore the i'm
portance of the study of Harmony in
connection with Piano. Miss Laidlsw
has made special study of Harmony
and is prepared to teach it, either in
private of class lessons.
Classes will be formed for young
children whose parents do not wish
them to begin regular piano lessons.
Miss Laidlaw bespeaks liberal pat
ronage from Cresco and neighboring
towns. Information regarding her
work will be gladly given through cor
respondence or interview. Address S12

kAVANAUGH Is WORRIED
Decision in Injunction Suit May Make
Him a Free Agent

The impending crisis in the greatest
baseball war in history is being
watched by thousands of people
throughout the United States, but there
is no one in the player ranks to whom
the final decision will mean more than
to Marty Kavanaugh, the former York
Tri-State League player. Kavanaugh
has come out fat-footed with state
ment that under no conditions will he
play for Hughey Jennings again in De-
troit.
Differences between Kavanaugh and
his manager led Kavanaugh to reach
the decision. At present he is signed
to Detroit contract, which is bind
ing but if organized baseball is de-
clared to be trust and shorn of its
bulwark-the national commission
Kavanaugh contract will then be IL
legal and he may sign with whom he
pieases
Marty has been hoping that he
would be traded or sold, but nothing
has been done in that direction. He
states that he has an offer from a big
manufacturing concern in Philadelphia
to play Independent ball next year, and
he is considering it.

The Vincome basketball team. of
Philadelphia, who will oppose the Har-

here with an excellent reputation and

known for its athletes, having in con
nection with basketball, lacrosse, Soc
cor, baseball and football teams.
This team defeated the st. Agatha
five, of Philadelphia, who won the un-
disputed championship of Philadelphia
last year. The Independents realize the
hard proposition they will be up against
and Captain McCord has had his men
practicing hard.

Illinois Amateur Champion Confesses to
Playing Professional Ball
Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Harry Kaad, am
ateur ice skating champion of Illinois,
whose amateur standing was challenged
yesterday after his admission that he
had played professional baseball, an
nounced last night that he would not
defend his title.
He will not participate in the In
ternatienal Skating Union champion
ships at Cleveland January 20 and 80
and at Saranac Lake, n. Y, February
2, 3 and 4. He said, however, that he
would retain the trophies he has won as
an amateur.
According to the provisions of the
international Skating Union code, Kaad
did not sacrifice his amateur standing
by playing with the Adrian club of the
Southern Michigan League, but by the
code of Central Amateur Athletic I'm
ion, it was said, Kaad had become a
professional.
Kaad, who was selected as one of
the seven best amateurs in the United
States to compete at Cleveland January
20 and 80, and at Saranac Lake, N. Y.,
February 2, 3 and 4, i'll the national
championships. said that he played pro-
fessional baseball with the Adrian club
of the Southern Michigan League last
season.
Investigation was started at Cleve-
land questioning the amateur standing
of the Illinois champion. Tt was
charged that Kaad was ineligible to
compete for amateur skating honors,
as he had played professional ball.

the feeling in the Tri-State for a salary

unfounded as the directors of the local

Wilmington is not enthusiastic over
the Tri-State game, but would come
back if the limit is not less than $1,000
or more than $1,000. Trenton will
