OTTUMWA ICE FIELDS.
Nearly Eighty Thousand Tons u
River Product Are Being Cut
This Season.

Ottumwa, Ia, Jan. 11.-Hundreds
of Ottumwans are finding employ
ment on the ice fields that dot the
river both above and below the
dams. About $4,000 tons of ice will
be cut here this winter, although all
of this will not be used locally. Some
of the firms contract for the supply
of several cities without an ice field
of their own. The Morrell Packing
company is the largest ice cutting
concern locally and the greatest US
er of the poduct. 1t will cut about
$4,000 tons and has immense stor-
age houses both at the plant and
alongside the river some three miles
distant from the packing house. Rail-
road trains convey the ice between
the fields and the packing plant and
200 men are employed at the work.

BUSINESS CHANGES AT OssIAN.
Several Well known Firms Make
Changes at the First of the
Year.

What is considered one of the
largest deals in merchandising to
have taken place in Ossian in many
years was completed yesterday, when
F. j. Klein, for seventeen years in
the employ of r. w. Anderson, pur-
chased of Mr.. Anderson a half inter
est in the store building and stock
of merchandise. While few sus-
pected it, not many knew that these
gentlemen were negotiating for the
sale and purchase of this store and
stock, and the contamination of this
transaction will come as a complete
surprise to the people of Ossian and
vicinity.
Mr.. Anderson has been in the
merchandise business in Ossian for
more than thirty-two years, during
which time he has been actively en-
gagged in the management of the
business. Mr.. Klein has been in his
employ more than half that time,
and the two, with wide experience
in merchandising, will make a bust
ness team hard to equal.
In his announcement, elsewhere
in this issue, Mr.. Anderson says he
sold half interest to Mr.. Klein Sin
consideration of faithful and salts
factory SERVICE and if every man
was faithful to his employer, firm
and thorough in the observance OF
his duties, F. ]. Klein is that man
The new firm is known as Ander-
son & Klein. 1t will be characteriz-
ed by good management in the flu
ture as in the past, and the business
is bound to grow thriftier as the
years roll around, and will bring
prosperity to it's owners, the attain
ment of which is the object of us
Iall.
Another deal took place Monday
Jan. 4, 1915, in which Mr.. j. l.. Nc
CURE of Hartley, Iowa, became the
owner of the Kenefick & Olsen drus
and jewelry business. Mr.. Mcclure
is man of pleasing appearance, a

wire and a good business man, whose

Terrible Death by Fire.

At about 5:45 Monday morning
of last week Sam Witkin an Oelwein
resident and a machinist in the em-
ploy of the Great Western got up to
start the fire in the kitchen range
by pouring in kerosene. He was
scantily clad only having on his
night clothes and shoes and the ex-
plosion which followed threw the
burning oil all over him. In his
agony he jumped through a window
and was severely cut by glass, fall
ing PROSTATE in the snow from where
ne was at once taken to the city hos
pital where he died at IL a. m.
Mrs. Witkin had spent the night
sitting up with a sick child in the
neighborhood and had just returned
home, so was fully dressed. In try
ing to extinguish the fire, on her hus-
band, she was considerably burned.
The three children in the home were
gotten out with difficulty by the
and roomer upstairs
made his escape through rear win
dow jumping to the ground. The
lower floor of the house was COM
pletely Quilted before the fire was
subdued.

ESCAPES BURNING ALIVE.
Mrs. August Sedden of Persia, Iowa,
Was Pronounced Dead by
Physician.

For eleven hours Mrs. August
Sedden of Persia, Ia, lay in trance
and was pronounced dead by her
physician. Unable to move muscle
of her body or to make sign, she
heard the sobs of her family, heard
friends notified of her death, heard
the doctor telephone the cemetery
officials to have the grave dug, and
heard the minister engaged to con-
duct the funeral service.
Then at the last moment she gave
"a gentle sigh and was saved from
being buried alive. She is in pre-
carious condition, and death may yet
result from a long sickness and the
shock to her nervous system engen-
dered by her dreadful experience.
Il was keenly conscious of every
move" said Mrs. Sedden, following
her remarkable recovery. "My sense
of hearing was left to me, and be-
came abnormally acute just as soon
as my power to move left me. When
the doctor raised my eyelids l could
see just as we'll as / ever could, al
/ though l heard them say that my
eyes were glazed"
She tried to say she was alive, bu.
was unable to do so. She heard the
sobbing of her friends, and thought
to herself that as soon as she spoke
to them their sobs would turn to
smiles. Then she heard someone
telephone for the undertaken. Half
an hour afterward he came to the
house and discussed the details of
the burial arrangements. Because
of the season of the year, it was de-
cided that embalming would not be
necessary.
When they began talking of en-
balming l became really frightened.
said Mrs. Sedden. Il knew that the
injection of the embalming fluid in
to the veins meant DEATH
Then came friends who prepared
her body for burial. She was
stretched upon a cooling board,
which the undertaken had left at
the house. On that board she re-
manned for eleven hours. She heard
friends at the house telephone to
other friends that she had died, and
that the funeral would be held the
next day. Members of the choir
were notified, and were told the
songs they were to sing.
And all this time the woman was
struggling to make some sound or
movement to let those around her
know that she was not dead. She
says she struggled frantically, un
til her very bosom seemed ready TO
burst with her efforts.

Obituary DIR. c.. II. FIynn.

The following obituary of the late
DR.. c. H. Finn, former DEBORAH
resident, and who passed away at his
home in Postville, his remains being
buried in Phelps cemetery a week
ago, is taken from the Postville Re-
view:
Son of Samuel and Melissa Ann
Avery-Flynn, was born at Phoenix,
New York, July IA, 1857. He re-
ceived his early education in the COM
mon schools and the academy of his
native town. The summer he was
eighteen years old he left home and
spent two years learning the nursery
business. He spent several years in
different parts Of the country follow
ing various vocations, teaching
school four winters. He also spent
several terms at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, Lansing, Mich. In
1883 he graduated from the veterin-
airy department of Ames, Iowa, and
followed the veterinary practice for
several years.
On September 4, 1884, DR.. Flynn
and Miss Christine Hodnefield of
Clear Lake, Iowa, were married To
this union eleven children were
born, five of whom died and six are
living. Mrs. Flynn passed away on
April 20, 1912, and Dr. Flynn died
On Dec. 81, 1914.
In 1891 DR.. Flynn graduated from
the Keokuk Medical College and
practiced medicine until his final i'll
ness. He took postgraduate cours-
es in Chicago and New York City.
He was one of the best read physi-
clans in Northeast Iowa and enjoyed
a wide and lucrative practice. Many
people remember his faithful minis
trations with sincere gratitude.
DR.. Flynn was a member of Broth
erly Love Lodge No. 204 A. F. & a.
M. and Unity Chapter No. 62 r. A.
M. of Postville, Langridge Comman-
derry X. T. of West Union, and also
of the Odd Fellows Politically he
has been mostly identified with the
Republican party. He was coroner
in Winneshiek county one term. He
was not identified with any of the
churches, but he was a believer in
the christian religion and expressed
| AAio ioith III oOu III otIOHS ISTUlS Ue-
fore his decease.
Late in the fall of 1893 DR.. Flynn
located in Postville and it was the
privilege of this writer to enjoy a
somewhat close acquaintance with
him during all these years and until
few days preceding his demise,
and we found beneath a somewhat
brusque exterior a kind hearted
conscientious, sincere, honorable and
friendly man. In the practice of his
profession he measured his success
not by the dollars he might acquire
but rather through research and
study along medical and surgical
lines did he store his mind with use,
full knowledge that he might the bet
ter minister to the affections OF
mankind; to him the triumph over
the ills that flesh is heir to was
success, the financial part his least
concern. To rich and poor he min
istered with equal fidelity, and II
many homes throughout northeast
Iowa there is sorrow that he is nc
more.

All, well, said Sandy, they toor

found many wires under it, which
shows that the telegraph was knoon

Well, said Pat, they toor down
