Mrs. 0. R. Niece
Passed Beyond
Death Occurred at the Home in
This City Sunday, After
Illness of Several
Years.

After an illness extending sew
eral years, during which time she
made a valiant but Intellectual
fight against the grim reaper, Mrs.
o. r. Niece, wife of DR.. O. r.. Niece
of this city, passed away to the
bourne beyond at the family resi-
dence in this city. Though not
unexpected her untimely passing
has cast a pail over the commun-
ity.
Mrs. Niece. nee (Mary) Os-
borne. was born i'm Scotland
in 1885, coming with her parents
TO this country nearly three years
later. Prior to her residence i'm
this city, she lived with her par
cnts at Glendive. She was mar
ried seven years ago to DR.. O. r.

taking up their residence in Beach.
where the Doctor has followed
his profession, that of dentistry.
To this union, two children We're
born, Meredith, aged five, and Or
VILE, Jr. aged three, who are thus
carly deprived of a mothers love
and companionship.
In October, 1914, in Il vain ef-
fort to win the race with death,
whose slow but steady approach
was realized, the Doctor took his
wife to California, it being hoped
that the sunshine and tonic intlu-
cnce of the California climate
would effect a cure. For a time,
beneficial results we're obtained,
bua the insidious disease had
gained such a foothold that the
improvement was only temporary.
After remaining in California for
nearly ten months, Mrs. Niece de-
sired to return to Beach, realizing
that in spite of her valiant efforts
she was waging a losing fight, and
wishing when the final summons
came it would find her with her
loved ones.

The Farmers Nonpartisan

last Friday and Saturday was the
most successful and enthusiastic
political gathering ever held in
that city or elswhere in the state.
A full state ticket was placed in

tives who also attended.
The following account is taken
from tthc Fargo Forum of Fri
day and Saturday:
"There have been some great
days in the history of this nation
slime very great days,-but there
never was as great a one for the
people of any section as today is
for the people of the state of n
Dakota"
This statement was made by A
C. Townley, president of the Non
partisan league at the big conver-
ton of that organization which
opened for the two days session
Friday and Saturday.
When the curtain was rung III
on the session there were approx
imately 1,7OO people in the audi
torium, most of whom were far
mers. AS the program progressed
this number was greatly increas

The enthusiasm of the audienc,
surpassed anything that has beer

and if this enthusiasm of the del

In his address of welcome, Ma

Meeting STATE
BAPTIST ASSN.
Eagerly Awaited By Rev.
Dye And Congregation
SESSIONS OCT. 16 TO 19
New Church In This City Will House
The nvention-Program Will
Be Announced Later-47o
Churches Will Send
Delegates

Rev. G. R. Dye and members of the
Baptist church of this city are starting
to make plans for the ninety-first an
nual meeting of the Ohio Baptist as
sociation which will be held in Mt
Vernon in October.
The opportunity of entertaining the
state convention of a powerful church
is one which has now come to Mt
Vernon twice within single year, the
other occasion being this spring, when
the state meeting of the Church OF
Christ was held in this city.
AS the new Church of Christ edifice
here was the big argument which
drew the state convention to Mt. Yer.
non, SO has the complete remodeling
renovating and, in fact, rebuilding OF
the Baptist church made it possible tC
secure the sessions of the state con
vention for this city.
The immense amount of good which
gatherings of this nature accomplish
for the city is not underestimated by
members of the local Baptist church
who naturally expect to receive all
manner of encouragement from its
citizens, whether members of this par
ticular religious body or not.
All of the sessions of the associa.
tion will be held in this church. The
full program is not ready nor will it
be completed for several weeks. This
is in the hands of a committee ap-
pointed at the state convention last
year.
The convention dates are Oct. 16,
II, IS and 19. 1t comprises the var
ious Baptist associations, of which
there are 2S in the state of Ohio.
The number of Baptist churches in
this state, according to the report OF
last year, is 40, and it is to be ex-
pected that all of these will be repre-,
sented at the convention in Mt. Yer.
non. An aggregate membership OF
76.SSS is included in the state asso'
citation.

FORMER LOCAL
GIRL IS DECIDED
FLORIDA LAND
Unknown Relative Makes
Her Joint Owner Valu-
able Property

Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Curran of this
city have received word from their
daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Tidsburg, of
Manitowoc, Wis, that she and her
husband have been decided a valuable
tract of Florida land The tale told in
newspaper clipping enclosed by Mrs.
Tidsburg in her letter is like novel
and is as follows:
To become the recipient of $40
acres of land, a whole section, which
some day promises to be rich bearing
acreage of tropical fruit, the gift of a
relative they had never known and of
whose very existence they were but
vaguely aware, is the good fortune
that has come to the Tidsburg family
of this city, who has been handed this
bundle OF worldly effects by Charles
Tuesburg, a cousin located at La
Crosse, Ind. t.-.
1t was during the Worlds Fair at
Chicago that Charles Tuesburg, then
wealthy dealer in real estate, con-
ceived the idea of locating his cousin
and family whom he had never seen.
The search for many weeks proved
| unavailing, but after time a trace
was secured of the relatives through
the aid of consul at Chicago
The fates dealt kindly with Charles
Tuesburg and he became possessed
of number of sections of splendid
Florida land. With the passing OF
years, he again remembered his rela-
tives here and short time ago Wis
tied Manitowoc, Wis, and established
the relationship He brought with
him a deed to 640-acre fruit land in
Florida, distributing 100 acres to Mrs
| Tidsburg and so acres each to her
children, Louis, Elmer, Charles, Cal
vim, Dorothy and Mrs. Edward Scher
er
When the father of the heirs came
to ManitoWoc, he changed his name
from Tuesburg to Tidsburg, the cor
rect family name, and this was the
cause of some handicap for the bene
factor in establishing the whereabouts
of his relatives. Through the post
master, however, the identity was es
| tablished and only week ago the
Tidsburg family made application al
the county clerks office to have the
family name of Tuesburg rehabilitat
ed.
The Florida tract is located in a sec
tion of the gulf peninsula that is rap
idly being developed. 1t is located
near the gulf coast and railway il
now being built that will open up thai
territory for settlement and develop
ment. 1t is but fifty miles from Pain
Beach and the possibilities for comine
wealth for the Tuesburgs are bright
