PIONEER
CLAIMED BY DEATH

Frank Stevens Watts was summon
ed to answer the honor roll Saturday
without an hours warning. He had
been complaining some of his head
aching for few days. He rose Sat
urday morning and shoveled the snow
from his walks at home. He expect
ed to go to Des Moines that afternoon
to visit his wife and son, Harry, and
family over Sunday. He came to the
bank about eight o'clock. He told
the clerks at the bank that his head
was worse that morning but went to
his desk and began his daily work.
Shortly after the bank opened for bus
mess, he went to the rear room and
laid down on the couch. Some time
later, one of the clerks went to con-
suit him on some business but he
seemed drowsy and the clerk left him.
A little later, he came into the room
where Mr.. Chas. Van Gorder was and
was very uncertain in his step and had
in his hand a pail but seemed to be
conscious of what he was doing. Mr..
Van Gorder assisted him back to the
rear room and into chair. The doc
tor was called but Mr. Watts never
regained consciousness. He was tax,
en- home and nurse called and the
i-doctors spent the afternoon and even
ing doing everything that medical skill
could~do but about Seven-t thirty that ev-
ening he passed quietly away.
Death was caused by the rupture OF
blood vessel on the brain
i Mrs. Watts was in Des Moines at
the home of her son, Harry. She was
called and she and Harry came, reach
ing here about two o'clock Sunday
morning Charles Watts, another son
of Plover, Iowa, arrived home Sunday
morning about nine o'clock. His
brother, Charles Watts of Chicago
came Sunday afternoon.
Frank Stevens Watts was born in
Hannibal. Missouri, January 81, 1861
| When eighteen years of age, he came
to this county and engaged in the
banking business with Charles Var
Gorder and has been cashier of the
bank for we'll onto half century. Mr.
Van Gorder stated to the writer thai
! in the thirty eight years that they haC
worked together in the same room
they never had passed an unpleasant
word between them. This is a re
markable record and speaks volumes
| for both. Mr.. and Mrs. Watts were
aited in marriage here and have liy
ed here ever since. They have two
ons living, Harry of Des Moines, ant
| Charles of Plover. Mr.. Watts parents
live in Omaha. They will also bt
here for the funeral
The family have lost a loyal hus
oand and father, the bank has. lost {
competent, honest and valued official
the public has lost worthy citizeT
and a most devoted friend and splen
did man.

NO DOUBT N HIS
MIND SHOULD REMAIN

1t seems strange that one should be
compelled to solicit advertising or to
offer arguments for its use. Consider
the case of the business man who gets
up III the mornings from an advertised
mattress, shaves with an advertised
razor, takes off advertised pajamas
and puts on advertised underwear,
advertised hose, advertised shirt, col
lar. and ties ,and advertised suits,
seats himself at advertised tables and
eats advertised bacon, drinks advertis-
ed coffee, puts on an advertised hat,
lights an advertised cigar, and goes to
his office, where he turns down the ad-
vertising solicitor of newspaper on
the ground that advertising does not
pay.--EXchange

DO NOT DESTROY PROPERTY

w W. OG0tn0f Gh0Fc
We clip the following from the Anita
Tribune:
From several of our exchanges we
note that an anonymous note has been
sent to the authprities of the Luther
an church located northeast of Anita
in Grant township, Guthrie county that
unless a parocial school recently open
ed was Immediately closed and the
German language did away with, that
some morning they would wake up
and find the structure in ashes. 1t
is also stated that the officers ont the
church in question have proven them
selves perfectly loyal. This is also
vouchsafed by the Rev. j. C. Orth of
Guthrie Center, head of the recently
organized German Loyalty League.
The Rev. Orth stated that he would
advise the closing of the school, owing
to the feeling aroused. 1t is also iun-
derstood that the state council of de-
Tense will advise the church authori-
ties to close the school, Some of the
papers speak of the church as being in
Grant township, Cass county, but this
is wrong. 1t is Grant township, in
Guthrie county,"
