Thos. ConnOr's Mother Passes.

Thos. Connor, of DEBORAH, was call
ed to Allamakee County last week
by the death of his mother, which
occurred Tuesday, May 10. We take
the following particulars from the
Waukon Democrat:
Mrs. Peter Conner, one of the early
residents of Union Prairie, passed
away" Tuesday at her farm home in
that township. Her death was quite
unexpected, as she had arisen and
was apparently as we'll as usual until
near noon when she laid down for a
rest and death overcame her. She
was about 80 years of age and her
birthplace was in Ireland. She was
woman of many good qualities and
was greatly esteemed by neighbors
and friends. A family of grown
children survive her, most of whom
live at a distance. The funeral will
be held Friday from st. Patrick
church.

Narrow Escape on Main Street

Last Saturday afternoon Rural
Mail Carrier Andrew Lee had a mar
row escape from serious injury, or
possibly death. He was on his way
to his home on East Broadway, and
was driving his Ford car. He had
been to the Haugen garage on Water
street and after leaving there drove
south past Romans barn and turned
east on Main street. The afternoon
passenger was just backing up from
the depot and reached the crossing
at the same time Mr.. Lee did. The
coach struck the fender of Lees
car and came very near hurdling the
machine into Dry Run. AS it was
a bent fender was the only damage
the car sustained, but Mr.. Lee re-
ceived a severe bruise under his left
eye, being thrown against the side of
the car. This crossing, like some
Others, through the town is a dan
gerous one, as the train is hid from
view by the building and fence along
the track.

COUNCIL PROHIBITS FLOWERS
ON GRAVES
Earlham People Aroused to Indigna
ton by Order.

Earlham, Ia.-Can a council legal
ly prohibit the decoration of graves
in the city cemetery?
The council here is trying to do
it.
BY its order, all shrubbery and
flower pots have been removed
from graves and thrown in ditch.
The citizens are wild about it.
On Mothers day only one grave
was decorated. Mrs. Clarence Will
son, wealty land owner@ was in
formed by Councilman John Urqu-
hart that she should not place flow
ers in jar on her mothers grave.
She Immediately consulted her
lawyers and appealed to County At
torney Leo Percival who told her to
put the flowers on the grave and
have anybody that molested them,
promptly arrested.
She placed the flowers and they
were not removed.
Councilman Urquhart said: eve
cannot have jars on the graves
for we cannot clip with scissors
around each jar. And there is no
other way to keep the cemetery
looking the best"
But there is a deep public feeling
against the order of the council.
1t is considering an ordinance
specifically prohibiting the plant
ing of flowers or placing of flower
pots on graves in order to facilitate
moving.
