Mrs. Ardie j. Jones, 9O2 South d
street, arrived home last evening
from Davenport, where she had been
visiting with her brother, Richard
Rabourn and family,
or honors paid the memory of a
former well known Oskaloosa lady,
the Sac City Sun says: "The trus-
tees of the Sac City public library are
greatly pleased over the installation
in the library of a stately electric
clock as memorial to Mrs. Beulah
Bennett Loring from the Fortnightly
Club, of which Mrs. Loring was
member. The propriety of remem-
bering Mrs. Loring in connection
with the public library is evident in
view of her activity in bringing
about it's establishment and her in
terest in that useful institution, I'M
diminished during her lifetime. Mrs.
Loring was one of the prime movers
in the establishment of the Sac City
Library Association, which founded
and maintained a library in Sac City
several years before the municiality
voted to maintain one and took over
the nucleus REQUIRED by the voluntary
organization. She was a member of
the organizing committee of the as.
ociation and was made one of it's
trustees. When the city took over
the library Mrs. Loring was made a
trustee by appointment of the mayor
and she continued to serve in that
capacity as long as she lived, being
time of her death. Her last work in
public was attendance upon library
board meeting a few days before her
death. The newspapers have just
called attention to tn epayment to
the city of bequest of $1,000 in her
will, the money to be invested and
the income to be used for the pur-
chase of books. The clock has a
16-inch Arbaic dial and is six feet in
height. The case is constructed of
dull-finish golden oak to correspond
with the library wood work"
AS the parents are well known in
Oskaloosa, the following item from
the Idaho Falls Qdaho) Register
is interesting: "a large and repre-
sentative group of people gathered
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. C.
Sheppard on Placer avenue on Mon.
day evening to attend piano recital
given by Miss Jane Sheppard, as
sisted by Mrs. r. NJ. Broekfeld, con.
tralto. Jane Sheppard's playing
gave genuine delight. She is just a |
young girl in the grammar grade and |
her performance was really marvel |
Gus. She played easily, unaffectedly |
and with touch that was sure, true |
and wonderfully sympathetic. In
Two Larks' and the Cradle Song |
she was particularly good and brought |
forth long and merited applause. A !
pretty, sweet, dainty little girl, she /
gives a surprise when she pours forth |
her soul in such well execute dmusic. |
Some day we shall hear from her in
the music world. Miss James inter.
probation of Chopin's Waltz HER
ulf's Cradle Song and HeIler's Tar
antelle' was indeed remarkable. Her
ability as evidenced in |
the whole program, but especially in |
the difficult Mozart Sonata and her
lightness and ciearnes sof touch in
Two Larks' won APP
proval and unusual appreciation for
the young pianist" Miss Jane Shep. |
pard is an Iowa product of whom her
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. p.
Spencer, are very proud. She has
shown her talent for music since a
very small child, and has had every |
advantage in musical education
given her by her parents. On the
night of her piano recital she receiv-
ed many beautiful flowers and would
have received many more, had not
every flower in town been sold for
her.
