Ida 3D. , wife of J. A. Dawsoti.aml
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Win ,
Lewis. Deceased was 21 years ,
11 months and 2 weeks old ; born
near Kichland , Iowa , Deo. 15th ,
1878 ; moved with her parents
when seven years old to _ Sweet-
water , Buffalo county , this state ,
and shortly afterwards to Custer
county , on the farm where Ku-
dcll post office is now _ situated ,
where she has since resided , with
the exception of several months
schooling at Ansley and Broken
Bow. She taught one term of
school in her home district ; pro
fessed faith in Christ as her bav-
ior and was baptized by her pas
tor , W. W. Lewis , in July , 1895 ,
and united with the 2nd Eudell
Baptist church. Was married to
Joel A. Dawson , former pastor
Mason City and Eudell Baptist
church , Jan. 1st , 1899 , by Kev.
Forsyth in Ansley , where at the
time both were working in her
father's hotel. Moved with her
husband the following spring to
the home farm at Eudell , where
she lovingly and faithfully per
formed the duties that pertain to
farm life up to the time of her
death. Of a kind and loving
disposition , tender hearted and
sympathetic , she won hosts of
friends at home and schoolwhere
8110 will be deeply mourned. She
nobly , gladly , faithfully , per
formed the duties and privileges
connected with the church , and
often expressed a desire to know
more of God and His word. A
baby girl came to add gladness
and sunshine to the home Oct. 2.
In her last hours before delerium
set in from which she never em
erged , she said to her husband ,
on being told she could not re
cover , "I am not afraid to die ;
I know I am saved ; " and tried to
sing "We're going home to die
no morc."Kcv. Woods , of Mason
City , preached the funeral sermon
from 1st Cor. , 15th chap. , and 1st
Thes. 4:13-18 : , which was com
forting , encouraging , edifying.
She was laid to rest in Ansley
cemetery to sleep until the trum
pet shall sound and the dead in
Christ shall rise , with glorified
bodies like unto His own.
VVe mourn her death , but not as
"those who have no hope , " and
can say , tho' our hearts be ready
to burst with grief , "Even so ,
Father , for so it seemed good in
thy sight. X.

The meetings in the Baptist
ohuron which have been running
for throe weeks , 'closed Sunday
night with a ull house and much
interest. Many persons found
Christ as then * Savior ; some have
been baptized and four others are
waiting baptism , and one was re
ceived by experience. The church
was greatly blessed. We had the efli
siuut services of Rev. M.L. Everett ,
State Evangelist of Iowa , whoso
learning , piety eloquence , and ear-
uentno'B , with many yearn of ex
perience in evangelistic work makes
him a power for good in the hands
of the Lord. The largo audiences
that greeted him each night not
only with their presence , but with
marked attention and deep interest ,
was an unmistakable evidence of
their appreciation of hia work. He
resorts to no clap-trap methods to
get people to come lorward. Ho
preaches the plain gospel , which
Paul says "Is the power of God unto
salvation. " Wo heartily recommend
him as a man of God and full of
the holy spirit , and our prayer is
that God may go with him to other
fields. At the Covenant meeting
on Saturday ovo. Doo. 3d , by a un-
euimous voice the church gave him
a vote of appiooiation and rocorn-
eudation. tAt the close of the
evening service the cutiro audience
in expressing a votn of thanks for
the splendid work done among us.

The frequent cases ot nervous pro-
tratioo or utter collapse ot uorvoua

ranch though nod Investigation on the
part of physicians'
Curtain Inorganic substances are wels
known to cause various forms ot cervouo
diseases which are readily traced to thr
poelono producing thorn , Furthul
research lends to the belief that alum Is
i prevailing cause ot so-oullcd nervous
prostration , for Iho symptoms U pro-
duoes on the nervous system after its
absorption Into the blood are very
remarkable Indeed. Expurlmonta

Orlila. Professors Ilans Mayer , Paul

quently produces no.vlaiblo symptoms tot
many days alter its Introduction into
the body. Then follow loss of arpotito
and other alimentary dlstrubances , and
Qnally a eorious prostration of tbo whole
nervous system. Tbo most prominent
pby&lolaoa now believe that 'luervoua
prostration" and many affections of tbo
oorvep from wblob both man and women
suffer iiro caused by the continued
absorption of alum into tbo system. It
Is probable that many medlc&l men nro
unaware of the extent to which salts of
alumina may bo Introduced into the
body , being under the Impression that
the use of alum In bread Is prohibited.
Alum , however , is still usud surrepti
tiously to aomo to whiten broad , and
very largely in making cheap kinds of
baking powder. Tn families where
baking powder Is generally used great
care should bo exercised to procure only
those brands made from cream ot tarter.

TAKING ASTOR DOWN A PEG.
Snubbed Oently nnil Unluteutlonnlly by

William Waldorf Astor , the expatri
ated American millionaire , who now
resides In London , Is the subject of a
lengthy biographical sketch In Tlt-
Ults , n publication Issued la the Drlt-
BU capital. Incidental to the sketch
t is related how the duchess of Clove-
and gently set him down on ono occa
sion. When his grand estate ofllcos
on the Thames cmhunkment were fln-
bhcd ho gave .a magnificent banquet
; o a number of swells. Showlr : ono
of the staircases lu the building to the
duchess , Mr. Aster Is alleged to have
asked :
"Isn't that handsome , your grace ? "
"Yes , it certainly Is , " replied the
duchess.
"Isn't it more so than any other
staircase you over saw ? " Mr. Astor Is
reported to have persisted.
At this the duchess' back very nat
urally got up.
"Yes , " she oaid , gently , "I admlro It
very much. It is much flncr than our
old staircase nt Battle abbey , which
hns been spoiled these 200 or 300 years
by the spurs of these stupid old
knights. "
Battle abbey Is probably the grand
est old place In England , and com
pared with Cliveden , Mr. Astor's coun
try house , is like a battle ship to a
torpedo boat.
Another story with a similar point
is related in the same skecli. Mr. As
tor , It is averred , was lost In admira
tion of the duke of Westminster's lawn
at Cliveden when ho first saw It , and ,
It is said , asked the gardener :
"How do you grow turf like that ? "
"Well , sir , " says the gardener , rub
bing his chin aud looking very Inno
cent , "you Jest sows yer seed and then
'as It rolled every day for a hundred
years or so , sir. "
SOCIABLE MONKEYS AS GUESTS
An Otlcl Honeymoon Spent Amid Weird
SnrrounillncH ,
From the Weekly Telegraph : A
gentleman who was married in India
a short time ago had a somewhat pe
culiar experience during his honey
moon. Ho took his newly-acquired
brldo away to a house situated on the
Nobudda river to spend the opening
month of their married life , and the
company that met them at tholr flrat
breakfast was not quite the kind a
brldo expects to welcome her. The
meal lu question was laid on a veran
da overlooking the river , and no soon
er did the servants begin to place the
crockery on the table than a largo
number of monkeys began to assem
ble from all directions , and noiseless
ly took their places on the veranda.
Naturally , when the husband called to
his wife , who was dressing , that
breakfast was ready , and they were
all waiting for her , she was quite per
turbed , moro especially as she expected
they were going to be alone. Irnag-
ino her surprise when she came down
to find all the available space around
the table occupied by monkeys , who
sat as grave and silent as possiblo.
During the breakfast biscuits were
thrown to the animals , and these , of
course , gave vlso to a struggle , whioh
resulted In a great deal of nol'se. No
sooner , however , was each biscuit gene
than the monkeys returned to their
places and sat as qulot as If nothing
had happened. As .soon as the couple
got up from the breakfast table the
monkeys , evidently recognizing that
there was nothing moro to be had , all
rose , and gravely marched down the
.steps from the veranda.
