Lose Baby Daughter.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Isham, who re-
side east of Woodstock, are mourning
the loss of their six months daugh-
ter, who passed away sometime yes
terday afternoon, presumably in a
spasm. The little one had been put
to sleep apparently we'll but at about
4 o'clock, when the mother went to
look at it, the little one was not
alive. Two physicians were hurried
~ summoned from this city and took
the life motor with them, reaching
the place about half hour after,
but life had evidently been extinct
for about an hour and half and the
life motor was useless.
The babe was the youngest Of five
children, the joy of the home, and
the parents are heartbroken over
their sudden bereavement. Mr.. Isham
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. e. Isham
of this city and the brother of Mason
Isham and Mrs. Bessie Peterson, also
of this city. The funeral services
will be held at the home tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock.

roomier one. Black rabbits are among
the oddities at the show this week.

|DO|NGS OF THE
DISTRICT COURT
Judge Wright Denies the Injunction
Asked by W. R. Baird Against
the County.

District court convened yesterday
from last weeks adjournment. The
petit jury reported and the case Of
". A. Sturdevant VS.. z. P. Prince ct
al was commenced and is still on
trial. Plaintiff is asking for damages
because horse belonging to him
fell into hole dug and left unpro-
tected by defendants.
Judge Wright this morning hand
ed down his opinion in the case OF
w. R. Baird against Hamilton coun-
|ty. Mr.. Baird asked for an injunc-
ton restraining the county from d.
verting water from it's natural course
and turning it through his land. The
county claimed that great saving
was effected, as about three miles of
|big tile would be necessary to carry
the water from the point diverted to
Its natural outlet. The judge denied
the injunction. This is a very i'm
portant case and involves some fine
points in law. 1t is likely that it
will be appealed to the supreme
court.
The Foster Furniture company
asks for writ of replevin to recover
goods in the possession of w. j.

Alice Smith is given title to lots
8 and 10 in block so, Webster City,

til fine is paid, not exceeding thirty

THIRD CONCERT IN
ARTIST COURSE
Under the Management Of Our Well
Known Fellow Townsman,
w. H. Cook.

The price of reserved seat tickets
to the piano recital by the brilliant
young Italian pianist, Pasquale Tai
larico, Wednesday evening, Dec. IS,
is but IS cents. /
Mr.. Tallarico is not known to fame
to the extent that Paderewski, or De
Pachmann, or Harold Bauer, or Jo-
|seph Hoffman, or Mrs. Zeisler, or Ru-
dolph CAM are, but the public will
err in assuming that his playing is
ordinary, because of the low price
and because of his name being as yet
unfamiliar to the general public.
While his fame is not universal, Mr..
Tallarico has met, in the cities where
he has been heard, with receptions
entirely out of the ordinary in his
association with such national organ
izations as the Philadelphia, Los An
geles, st. Louis and Chicago SYM
phony orchestras would prepare one
TO Del1eVe.
Americans do not generally think
of Mr.. Tallaricos countrymen as pi-
|anists, rather as composers, singers
and perhaps violinists, or harpists;
and it is observed by the official
critics of the press that he infuses
into his playing a warmth often for
I ign to that somewhat cold, but in
dispensible instrument, the piano.
"He puts into and gets out Of his in
strument, real Italian poetry-the
kind that stops not at the portal of
the ear, but enters the very SOUL"
as one critic expressed it. 1t will
surely be worth your while to de-
vote tomorrow evening to hearing
one of the most brilliant young
American pianists-Italian by birth
only, and not hyphenated. Mr.. Tai
larico's playing will illustrate the
heights possible to be attained in pi-
ano playing.

LOOKS like GUARDS
men WILL REMAIN
Gen. James Parker Upon Return to
Brownsville Makes Important
Statement.

Brownsville, Dec. 11.-Absolute
settlement Of all rumors leading to
the belief that Iowa troops would be
ordered home this winter was given
yesterday afternoon by Brig. Gen.
James Parker, commanding the
Brownsville district, upon his return
from San Antonio, where he held a
special conference with Gen. Freder-
lex Funston.
He said: 81 know of nothing to in
dictate that any national guard organ
ization now at Brownsville will be
ordered home any time soon. No or
ders have been received by district
headquarters that would indicate
any movement of the kind.
1T is my opinion that conditions
across the river are such that the
presence of the national guard on
the border is as necessary now as it
has been in the past"
Gen. Parker also stated that he
had taken up the matter of winter
quarters for the guard here during
his visit to San Antonio.
Regular cantonments will not be
provided for the national guard, but
Gen. Parker said their tents would
be boarded up and the camps improv-
ed in many other ways for the win
ter. The work of building water
heaters for the shower baths in the
Iowa camp has already been begun
and large loads of lumber for tent
sides and floors are being hauled to
the three regiments and separate or
CARNATIONS daily.
The entire Iowa guard now has
been placed on short hour working
basis Only one hour of drill a day
is required of the militiamcn, this
coming in the morning. During the
remainder of the day they are allow
ed full camp leave for recreation. 1t
is considered that the training of the
Iowa national guard is now practic-
ally completed and the expectation is
that only light work will be requir-
ed of them during the remainder of
their stay on the border.

'bR0MLFY'S Lecture TO men
AND HIS SUNDAY NIGHT talk

speaker said that man was destined
to hereafter because God had in
stilled a power in the human body
that was not for this world. He
spoke of other works of the AL
mighty, naming the elephants, who
live to be 200 years old, whales,
claimed to attain the old age of L.
600 years and cited an intance of a
kernel of wheat that was taken from
an Egyptian pyramid after having
been there more than 1000 years; it
was planted, and with proper care
grew into a stalk and later ripened
and yielded other kernels of wheat,
stating that if all this was true it
was unreasonable to believe that God
had destined man, the highest Gre
ature in the animal kingdom, to ut
ter oblivion in the time to come.
AS in his past sermons the church
Of today came in for good nit of
criticism 1.-The church has good
many rotten fellows in it and lot
of them are going to hell a whoop-
ling, but they all came from the out
side. They are the ones known as
hypocrites The church also has the
best people in it and all the really
great men of the day belong to the
church. The salt of Gods universe
can be found in his temples today"
ITO Christian, heaven begins on
earth and true follower of the Lord
will not need an introduction to the
angels when he reaches the pearly
gates
"a change of heart must be
brought about in this world in order
to enter the kingdom of heaven at
ter death; it cannot be done in the
other world-as the tree falls SO must
lit lie--when you die you are fixed
forever, and no preacher or priest or
any one else can forgive your sins.
They can all advise and extend aid
and plead but you must seek God and
the divine spirit must do the cleans
ing. God counts man lost until he
is saved. There is no neutral zone,
as SO many believe. You are either
going to hell or to heaven. You are
lost this moment if you are not a
Christian. A true disciple of Christ
can enjoy all honorable things that
the world has to offer.
"lf a man owns all the world, is
the car, emperor, king, ruler and
president of all the universe, abso-
!lutely in control of all the people,
what would be his gain? 1t is an
absolute fact that we all must die
and leave behind what we possess
here on EARTH
The speaker stated that the aver
Iage life time of man was placed at
33 years, and then made the suppo-
lsition, if a man lived to be 20, claim
ing 10 years spent in childhood, 10
years in old age, and pne-third of
the balance in sleep, it would leave
about 20 years of actual conscious
ness in which to enjoy the worldly
pleasure. "Is this worth while COM
pared to eternity? John D. Rockefel-
Ter, with all his wealth could not
buy one-half of Iowa and that is a
long way from possessing all the
world. The short time here is no
gamble compared with what etern-
ity has to offer"
The ladies aid and missionary So
cieties will meet at the U. B. church
tonight at Z o'clock. This is church
night at the tabernacle.

tinued eventually and this expense

For one sweet strain of silence
To break the endless song.

And rest from weary laughter
In the quiet arms of grief.
