Baby Fell From Car Window.

AS Mrs. Lewis Gump and two chill
dren, of Mason City, were riding on
Rock Island train between Chart
ton and Corydon one day last week.
enroute to Seymour to visit relatives,
her little three year old son fell from
the coach window while the train was
running at from 25 to 80 miles an
hour. The train was stopped as soon
as possible and backed up to where
the youngster fell out. and in place
of finding his mangled body they
found him sitting few feet from
the track, having fallen on some sand
and rolled down the embankment. AS
soon as the searching party got near
he cried, Il want my mama," and it
was found that the boy was only
slightly scratched and bruised. The
mother had been cautioned by the
conductor to watch the child but a
few minutes before as he insisted on
hanging out of the open window. The
youngster will ride on the inside seat
with his mother hereafter.

Work Begun to Straighten River
Channel,

The work of opening a drainage
ditch to straighten the channel of
Weldon river along the lines of the
Bowsher farm, Y. B. Wasson's and
Clate Keller's farms, the latter gem
orally known as the Molleston farm
over in Decatur county, was COM
menced last Monday by quite large
force of men and teams under the
direction of j. r. Bowsher and Y. B..
WATSON. The natural river bed fol-
lows rather torturous course along
the north and south lines that divide
the farms above mentioned and the
owners believe that to straighten it's
course will prevent many overflows
of their lands and greatly lessen the
time their fields may be submerged
by water in case the ditch may not
entirely prevent an overflow. The en-
terprise thus far is purely private
one, but will no doubt mark the be-
ginning of much more extensive
work of the kind all along Weldon
river in Decatur county. A drainage
district extending from the vicinity
of Garden Grove to the Missouri line
is planned and talked Of by the bot
tom farmers and will no dougt h,
formed and carried out Immediately,
as the great success Of such public
enterprises in other sections of the
west makes it no longer an expert

Levetb X. Cozaad.

Levett Karl Cozad, Oldest son Of
Jacob A. and S. j. Cozad, was born
in Morgan township, Decatur county,
iowa, on February FL, 1876; died on
THE old homestead where he was
born, Sept. 5, 1916, aged 40 years, .
months and is days. He was mar
ried Jan. 81, 1912, to Lucille Small
wood, to which union three children
were born, Albert, Karl and Howard.
He leaves besides his family, three
brothers, two sisters, numerous rela-
tiyes and a host of friends to mourn
his untimely death.
He had been in poor health during
the past six months but was not TAX
en- to his bed until August IS, at
which time he was stricken down
with typhoid fever, and grew steadily
worse until Sept 5,.When his death
came to relieve him of his usffering
which had been very intense during
his entire sickness. He had the as
sistance of the best medical skill OBJ
tainable, but the disease seemed to
be uncomfortable, and he was waited
into eternity in the prime of life
when death seemed least expected to
enter and where life seemed most
promising.
He was a man who loved home and
family and his greatest enjoyment
was to lend hand Of assistance to
those in need or distress. He was
always ready to go where he thought
duty called him and no man will be
missed more in their community than
he in his neighborhood.
At time when he was needed
most in his family, at an age when
life seemed most secure, the newt
able monster death swooped down in
his little family circle and forced him
into the dark valley from whence nc
traveller returns.
The funeral services were held at
his home, Sept. Z, conducted by Rev.
Morgan, of Mercer, Mo-, after which
! the l. o. o. r. of Lineville, and the
A. F. & A. NJ. lodge of Pleasanton,
took charge of the remains which
were laid to rest in the Evergreen
cemetery at Lineville, Iowa.

Resolutions of Respect.

We, your committee on resolution
of brother L. x. Cozad, beg to sub
nit the following:
Whereas: We are called once more
to witness the opening of the por-
tails of death, through which our be-
loved member, brother L. X. Cozad
passed; and through his death was
sacrificed the influence Of kind and
loving husband, fond and indulgent
parent, and an energetic and honor
able brother.
Be it therefore, resolved: That En-
blem lodge No. 1879, A. F. & A. M.
extend their most sincere sympathy
to the bereayed family and friends.
| Be it further resolved: That copy
lof these resolutions be spread upon
the minutes of the lodge, and that a
copy be delivered to the family, and
also to the county papers.
| If, then in days to come,
Some one shall ask,
How shall we keep his memory?
Be not silent,
But speak out and say:
He would not that friendly
Should pile up stones or chisel marble
In his name,
But rather
That some gift might go
| Among the living
| To help and bless and comfort
For his sake.
With reverence then, behold with me
That which we all must sometimes be
Each day we near the dread abyss
OF death, when we shall be like this,
But unto those whose faith remains
Death does sever earthly chains,
To spirits freed from this poor clod
IT'S but to sleep, to wake with God.
