Alice Rosalie Bentley was born at
Poynette, Wisconsin, November 16,
1859, and passed away at her home at
Cresco, Iowa, April II, 1916, at the age
Of Sc years. months and l day.
When small girl she removed with
her parents to Baraboo, Wisconsin, liv-
ing at home until removing to Athol,
S. D., where, in her twentieth year, on
Sept. 26, 1884, she was united in
marriage to John E. Graf, of Athol,
and three years later they moved to
Cresco, Iowa, where the family has
since resided, with the exception of one
and one half years spent at Algona,
Iowa.
When young girl she united with
the Methodist church at Baraboo, Wis
consin, remaining in that church until
1905 when she united with the Baptist
church of Cresco, Iowa, of which she
continued faithful member until the
last.
Mrs. Graf was pre- -eminently home
maker, feeling that the welfare of her
family should be her principal interest,
and she remained steadfast to this ideal
throughout her life. To the church of
her choice she was known as devoted
and faithful member, and always,
except within the last few years when
physically unable at times to attend
services, she was constant in attend.
ance and faithful in intesxSet. tTp her
friends, neighbors and tnS community
at large she was known as ever ready
to extend sympathy when needed, and
to be eager to rejoice with others in
their good fortune.
Four sons and one daughter, Charles,
Bert, Earl, Frank and Leone, together
with a devoted husband are left to
regret her absence, there are also left
two brothers. Frank Bentley, of Bara-
boo, Wisconsin, and Ernest Bentley, of
Ahleman, Wisconsin, and one sister,
Carrie Lamberton, of North Yakima,

the latter. who was prevented by dis
tance from attending, were present at
the last services.
The immediate family deeply regret
the separation, but find comfort in the
memory of loving wife and mother,
and are consoled by the thought that
the separation is but temporary and
that the reunion is but briefly deferred.

Deputy Sheriff Killed at New Hampton

Early Friday morning, a burglar
blew safe in lumber yard office at
New Hampton, securing only about $40
in cash. In roundup of suspicious
characters, the sheriff was informed
that man was in the woods just east
of town, and he sent his son with dep
uty sheriff Frank A. Herzog and the
party giving the information to arrest
the fellow. Upon arrival at the place,
all three walked toward the thief who
was setting beside big tree. When
within about 20 feet of the man Herzog
ordered him to hold up his hands. The
thief leaped behind the tree and fired
three shots at Herzog, the first strik-
ing him in the hip and ranging upward
into the abdomen, producing an inter-
nal hemorrhage which caused death on
Sunday morning.
Herzog's companions, being unarm-
ed, fled and summoned the sheriff who
summoned aid and followed the thief
who had left the woods and struck off
towards town, finally hiding behind a
rock pile near the greenhouse. Many
shots were exchanged, the murderer
PROBABLY realizing that capture or death
was inevitable, turned his own gun on
himself and blew out his own brains.
No name could be found on him but a
pawn ticket found on him led to the in
formation that it was issued at Terre
Haute, Ind, Feb. 21st to C. F. Jones
of Efingham, Ill.
Deputy Sheriff Herzog was a young
man 80 years of age and leaves a wife
and three children, the oldest about
five years of age. He left neither in
surance or property and at mass
meeting of New Hampton citizens,
$l576 was raised for the family and
further donations will be asked from
everybody in the county.

Boy Killed by Lightning.

Matte Lydon, aged about IL years,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. P. Lydon, was
instantly killed about five o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon by heavy bolt
of lightning which struck the barn in
which were he and younger brother
and hired man, Hugh Malone. The
brother was badly burned from his
breast to his instep where the light
ming broke a hole in his rubber boot,
and with the exception of the burns

held on Saturday morning at 9:3O at

lily have the sincere sympathy of the
community.
The barn was badly splintered and a
six-year old Percheron Stallion was

aster at the Lydon home followed the
telephone wire into the w. B. Perry
home badly shocking his daughter
Bessie who had been called to the
phone by her father just previous to
the storm, the bolt being the frs one
of the storm. At noon the following
day she had no use of the arm, but will
doubtless gradually recover from the
shock

URIC ACID IN MEAT EXCTTES

BLADDER.
NOTED AUTHORITY SAYS WE
MUST FLUSH KIDNEYS WITH
SALTS IF BACK HURTS.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood Of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cluody, full of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night: when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, s1eeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad wealth
er, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take ia
blespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used fol
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys; to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it is no longer
source of irritation, thus ending
urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful eff
fervescent lithia-water drink, and no.
body can make a mistake by taking
a little occasionally to keep the kid
