Library Notes.
Dr. Anderson of Pawnee'City
visited the Library one day last
week to look into the arrange
ments and administration. Dr.
Anderson is president of the
Library Board at Pawnee where
they are building a new Car
negie building at a cost of § 5.-
850. It will be completed some
time in the spring.
Last Saturday was a busy
time at the desk. There were
one hundred nnd eighty-two vis
itors and one hundred and fifty-
two books were sent out.
A little paper , the New York
Times Saturday Review of
Book , comes to the Library each
week. It gives the very latest
news of the very latest books ,
their publishers , authors and
illustrators. It often helps in
the understanding or the appre
ciation of a story or essay if we
know just how. it came to be
written , or what the personality
of the author is. The Saturday
Review tells just these things.
This week it has among many
other items the disclosure of the
real name and identity of the
author of Aunt Jane of Ken
tucky , the book made famous by
President m Roosevelt's advice
about the first chapter , when he
said that he recommended that it
be used as a tract in all families
where the men tend to a selfish ,
thoughtless or brutal disregard
of the rights of their women
folks.
M. E. Kensington Entertain.
The members of the M. E.
Kensington entertained their
i friends on Tuesday evening in a
\ery enjoyable and unique man
ner. It was ii tm ! form of a
progressive season party.
The fun began with Spring
at the home of Mrs. Maud Wig-
ton , where everything was in
keeping with the season. The
house was beautifully decorated
with violets while streamers of
purple , ye low and white added
to its beauty. Refreshments
of sandwiches , salad , onions ,
radishes and coffee were served
by young ladies whose chief
charms were in their bonnets
which were of ttue Paris pat
terns. Upon leaving each
guest was presented with a
souvenir of spring.
Their next stop was summer
at the home of Mrs. Dr. Past.
Upon their arrival the guests
were greeted by the strains of
"Good Old Summer Time , " and
were then ushered to the garret
which had been converted into
a veritable woodland bower.
The lunch was spread upon the
floor in true picnic style and
was composed of everything enjoyable -
joyable on such occasions , even
f- to the red lemonade , and bugs
and grasshoppers crawling
around.
: F-i From summer they went to
! # " , autumn at the home of the
Misses Schaible. It was indeed
a pretty sight that met their
gaze when the guests entered
the house with its pretty dee-
orations of autumn leaves and
chrysanthemuns. The lunch
here was of fried oysters , brown
bread , olives and coffee.
Winter found the crowd with
Mrs. John Crook who had made
the season most realistic by her
decorations of snow balls and
icicles. The hostess here ser
ved ice cream and cake.
It was a most enjoyable time
but all agreed that the living
was a little fast for them , and
hereafter will be content to
take the seasons as they come
v and not crowd them all in1 one
evening.
Try the brick ice cream at the
Candy Kitchen , 40c per brick.

Died.
'Joseph Foeh linger died at his
home in this city Tuesday after
noon , November 12th , 1907 ,
aged 73 years , II months and
19 days. This another of our
old and respected oili/icnft has
passed from our midst. A most
pathetic instance jn the death
01 Mr. Foehlinger is the fact
that the end was hastened by
the shock of the death of his ,
son. Harvey , which occurred
only a week ago , the old father's
physical condition not. being
strong enough to bear the heavy
load , and death came as a relief
to his sad heart Tuesday after
noon.
Mr. Foehlinyer wa b.irn In
Bavaria province Germany ,
where he spent his boyhood
days , coming to America in 1855.
A few year later he was mar
ried to Miss Anna Mary Ford-
ney , to which union eight chil
dren were born , four boys and
four girls , three of whom are
living Charley , Fred and Harry.
His wife preceded him to the
grave five years ago.
Deceased served the last three
years of the Civil war , serving
Ijis country as only a true
soldier could do through the
thickest of the light. He en
listed at Pittsburg , Pa. , and
.was a member of the famous
German llth Corps 'under Carl
Schur/ , whose deeds of bravery
and valor have gone down in
liistorv as being phenomenal.
Mr. Foehlinger has lived in
our city a number of years. He
was a generous , good hearted
man , and while he'liad not ac
cumulated much of this world's
goods , he leaves as a monument
ment for his loved ones the
memory of a good and useful life ,
which in the end is better than
riches.
The funeral was held from the
Christian church Thursday
afternoon at 2 , o'clock ' , con
ducted by llev. Dunkleberger ,
and was largely attended by
friends who came to pay their
last ret-pecls do the dead as

behind. Interment was in
