Mrs. Henry Behnke was born in the
town of Excelsior May 30th, 1884 and

life on his fathers farm. He attended

their home on a farm near Ableman.
Three children, Lawrence, Phyllis and
Donald were born to them. The home
was a happy one until sickness claimed
the husband and father. For over
year he has suffered with tuberculosis.
For time he was at the sanitarium
at Stevens Point and then at his re-
quest he was brought to his fathers
home where his last days were spent.
He died Monday, Feb. 22, all the
tender care and love not strong enough
to keep him longer. The funeral was
held from the St. John church at Able
man on Thursday Feb Is, and was very
largely attended.
William Behnke was young man
who was much respected in his home
community where he was best known.
His companions and neighbors speak
in admiring terms of his life and the
patient endurance of long illness.
He leaves to mourn besides the many
friends, his wife, three children, his
parents, three sisters, Mrs Dick Krue-
ger, Mrs. William C. Holtz, Luverna
Behnke, and four brothers, Henry
Walter, Arthur and Rhienhold.

Victims OF Rheumatism
Fishers No Cure. Mop y Offer
Attracts Many Sufferers TO
Test Rheuma.

If Rheuma, the wonderful preserip-
ton for rheumatism sold by Fisher
Bros. and all druggists, does. not cure
any purchaser, the druggist will return
your money without any red tape.
Rheumatism is a dangerous disease;
because of its shifting nature it often
strikes the heart and proves fatal.
Any one with even a faint of rheuma-
tism ought to drive it out as soon as
possible.
Rheumatism is caused by sluggish,
WORKOUT or over-worked kidneys, which
become clogged and fail to eliminate
the impurities from the system.
Rheuma acts promptly and directly
upon the kidneys; it cleanses them; il
absolutely renovates and leaves them il
perfect condition, able to do the worE
nature intended they should do. 81

ESTABLISHES AN
INNOVATION HERE.
Central Union Company Occupies New
Home Built in Residence Sec
ton of City.
MAKES GOOD SHOWING In 1915
In Face OF Complete Equipment at
Start OF Year $4,000 is Expend-
ed for Extending Service.
MAKES GOOD SHOWING In 80

The year 1915 will long stand out
as the red letter one for the Central
Union Telephone company. which in
January occupied its new home on
Eighteenth street near Seventh ave-
nue.. Surrounded by residences and
being few blocks from the heart OF
the business section Of the city, an in
novation was established in the cree
ton of the structure at that place.
1t is hoped by the people of the city
as well as by the officials Of the COM
pany that the success with which the
change was made from the old build
ing on Nineteenth street north of
Third avenue to the new, will be sig
nifcant OF that which the company
will enjoy in the future. But very few
cases of trouble were reported when
thousands OF telephones were discon-
nected from the old switchhoards to
the new, and considering the mani
moth undertaking the task was COM
pleted with a great deal more success
than the officials expected.
Spend $4,000.
The company spent about S2S,000
during the year in extensions. This
showing is a splendid one considering
that when it entered its new home all
of the equipment was new and com
plete.
The present year has also been quite
satisfactory TO the concern in hand
ling Of storm trouble. For several
years preceding heavy winds and sleet
have caused large damage to wires
and cable in this city alone, but during
1915 very little loss from this source
was suffered Principal damage oc-
CURED from water getting into the
manhoIes and flooding conduits.
The installation Of cable across the
bottom of the Mississippi river will
bring further advantage in that the
wires now strung across the Rock Is
land bridge will be removed and leads
between Davenport and this city will
run through the cable.
