Obituary.
MRS. A. E. RICE.

Lucia Carey Rice was born in Scots
vile, Wyoming county, Penn, July 70,
1847, and came to Wisconsin with her
parents in 1865. She lived in Edgerton,
Fulton and finally in Dunkirk with her
parents, and in the last named place at
the home of her parents was married
March 5, 1876, to Albert E. Rice. For
three years they lived in Iowa. 1t was
here that the first great sorrow came
to their married life. Their only child
was accidentally and suddenly taken
from them. After this they returned
to Wisconsin and for two years lived on
farms east and south of Edgerton and
then purchased the Vaughn farm one
mile south of Fulton. Here the second
and lasting affiiction came upon them.
Mrs. Rice became an. invalid with rheu
matism and for thirty years had suf-
fered from that and other Affections,
pains that the pen of man cannot por-
tray. For the past twelve years they
have lived in little house, modest
home, on the west side of Edgerton.
All these years she has been confined
to her chair and to the bed. In spite
of these Affections and agonies this
couple enjoyed large measure of hap
piness until the death of the husband
just nine weeks ago; since then she
has protested against continued life
and begged to follow her life compan-
ion. Death relieved her suffering May
10, 1916.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. VIM. Hooton Friday afternoon
from the home.
Two brothers and one sister are liv-
ing, Mrs. j. w. Lott and Shubel w.
Carey of Pennsylvania and c. B. Carey
of Edgerton, who with other relatives
and friends followed her remains to the
cemetery.

Rousing S. S. Convention.

The 18th annual Rock County Sunday
School convention, held at Edgerton on
May IL and IL, with the largest atten-
dance ever present at such conven-
ticn in this county. The new feature
of this convention and perhaps the best
part of the whole convention was the
program for the teen age delegates.
The people of Edgerton very kindly
provided two suppers, one for the teen
age girls and one for the teen age
boys, for all the delegates who were
present. There were 152 present at
the boys supper and the reports from
six classes in the county and an excel
lent address by DR.. Verkuyl made an
excellent program. There were 1870
present at the girls supper and Miss
Gladys Wise of Madison and Mrs. Ew-
ing of GAINESVILLE were the main speak
ers. The large delegation present at
these suppers was an inspiration to
those interested in teen age work and
such convention ought to mean much
for Sunday School work in the county.
L. A. Markham, county Y. M. C. A.
superintendent, called the meeting to
order, and Roy Ogden of Milton juno
ton was elected president, while San
forth Smith of Edgerton, was made
secretary. Reports from various Sun
day School districts were made by John
Mcdowell, Evansville; Perry Anderson,
Edgerton; Raymond Johnson, Milton
Junction; Paul Claxton and Ed Grebe,
GAINESVILLE; Arthur Roadhouse, Beloit.
DR.. Gerrit Yer Kuyl, Appleton, Wis
consin educational superintendent in
Sabbath School work for Wisconsin and
Minnesota, gave the boys splendid Is
minute talk, bringing in some personal
"reminiscences of his early life in Hol-
land and his struggle for an education
after having come to this country at
the age of 81.
At the evening meeting at the Meth
odist church number of brief reports
were made by Sunday School superin-
tendents. DR.. Yer Kuyl again spoke
on the -Four Square Man. His adj
dress was full of logic and humor and
was so we'll balanced that the message
he carried was as impressive as it was
simple.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the conventions:
Be 1t Resolved
Whereas, as the people of Edgerton
have so kindly entertained the dele
gates of the 10Th Rock County Sunday
School convention in their homes,
Whereas, the ladies of the churches
have so abundantly provided suppers
for the teen age delegates at the con-
vention,
Whereas, the pastors have so dill
gently and carefully planned for the
convention,
That we extend to them our heartiest
thanks and appreciation.
Be 1t Resolved
Whereas, Arthur Roadhouse has so
kindly and efficiently led the singing,
we extend to him and others who have
taken part in our program our thanks.
Furthermore, Be 1t Resolved, That
these resolutions be spread on the min
utes.of the secretary, and that copy
be published in the Edgerton paper.

RUMAN|AN CAMPAIGN
OF GREAT INTEREST
GERMAN OFFENSIVE IN GALlClA
is GROWING LESS
SERIOUS
ny Associated Press.)

PETROGRAD, Nov. 3.--Interest in
the Rumanian situation continues to
overshadow minor episodes on the
Russian western front, particularly
since the approach of winter already
has precluded the possibility of fur
ther operations on large scale in
this theater.
There has been, however notice
ably growing tendency on the part of
the Germans to begin more or less
serious offensive at various points in
Galicia, the most important of which
is the one undertaken south of
Brzezany, where the Russian posi-
tions along the Narayuyka river have
offered exceptional advantages for a
flanking attack upon Halicz from
the north and at the same time con-
stituting direct menace to Lem
berg
The Germans aimed this attack
along the line from Brzezany to
Halicz, but concentrating most heav-
lily in the region of Mitchau wood,
began determined attack on the
night of October 20, which carried
the Russian positions.
Russian critics. although manifestly
surprised at the German ability to
launch an offensive of large forces
at this point. do not consider the
hostile advance over a six mile front
of more than local Importance and
state that its only significance is in
relation to the Pennsylvania opera
tion, being an obvious attempt to
create a diversion and prevent fur
ther Russian cooperation on the
Pennsylvania front, where Genera
Won Falkenhayn, after being temper
arily checked, is making new effor
to advance.
