MRS. DORA MOORE
DIED THIS MORNING
F"r:n Tu''iav'N i'.iiiy.
Tli is morning at her home in the
south pQition of the city, Mrs. Dora
Moore passed away after an illness
that covers the past two years and
during the greater part of this time
s-he has been almost a complete in
valid. Shut in from the participation
in the affairs of the world Mrs. Moore
displayed her Christian spirit in bearing-
her cross of suffering and in the
c njoyment of the society of the friends
tnd neighbors who came to share her
days of waiting until peace and rest
might come to her in the arms of the
Master.
Mrs. Moore is a member of the Old
ham family, one of the pioneer fam
ilies of Cass county where the father
of Mrs. Moore settled at an early day
on. the homestead east of the pres
ent town of Murray and here this es
timable lady was reared to woman
hood and where the old farm house
still stands. For the past several
years Mrs. Moore has resided in this
city with her brother, George Oldham,
and has been very active in the re
ligious and social circles of the city.
The death of this lady comes as a
severe blow to the friends through
out the country and particularly to
the aged brother who will miss the
loving companionship of the sister,
with whom he has made his home for
years. It is hoped to be able to give
a more extended account of the life of
this good woman in a later edition of
the Journal.
The funeral of Mrs. Moore will be
held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock
from the late home on Chicago ave
nue, anil interment will be in Oak

STRANGE ACTING MAN
TAKEN TO ASYLUM
From Wi'diii-sdsiy's Daily.
This morning Sheriff C. Dj Quinton
departed for Lincoln taking with him
a man who was gathered up Sundas'
night in the vicinits of Alvo, where he
was found wandering along the road
by parties driving into Alvo to attend
church. Who the mantis remains a
msstery as he cannot give his name
or tell where he came from and is
vers much demented. All nat the in
sanity board could learn at their ex
amination was that he was "No. 7,"
which was as near an identification
as could be secured. He is a man of
apparentls middle age and is of for
eign descent, evidently a Bulgarian, as
he. has the features of a resident of
that section of Europe, and on tests
made bs parties in different languages
fails to respond although he seemed
at times to recognize some German
words, but not sufficient to give ans
one an opportunits to learn anything
from his rambling remarks as to his
previous home. It is thought that he
has been at Memphis working hi the
ice harvest and had wandered until
lie was found at Alvo. His attire in
dicates a man used to working in the
open a great deal and leads to the
belief that he was a member of some
working gang t of foreigners such as
are used bs' large contracting firms.
He had no letters or papers on his
person.
QEATH OF IRA PRICE AT

and was respected and esteemed in the
highest degree by those who knew
him best. He had been ill for only a
short time and, last Saturday, grew
worse, until death came to his relief
late Saturday night. He leaves to
mourn his death a wife and four
small children. Mr. Price was 34

RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL.
From Wednesday's Daily.
John W. Kinser arrived home last
evening from Omaha, where he has
