Mrs. Elza Ma.rtin. : Mrs Elza Martin died on Wednesday - . nesday at her home northeast of . this city , at theage.of sixty-eight years. . The death of Mrs. Martin . marks the passing of a most excellent ' cellent woman. She was a ' . . . . woman of deep seated religious } : " ' , convictions and the Methodist church never produced a purer . . . ' type of Christian character or , a more exemplary exponent of its teachings and virtues. From her ! girlhood she lived in an atmos- , . . . 1 phere of Christian sanctity , and t . . . her life was a model ot consis- tency. In the years in which her . husband was a mInister of the f' } \ . . , . gospel she was his helpmeet in - : an things spiritual as well as ma- teiial matters. As a mother she gave to her children a beautiful . influence and kept undefiled the Christian atmosphere of the home circle. Hers was a life crowned f by good works , wrought in the : years of faithful service and when . , the finger of God touched her , " If ; , , , , . the pain was eased . , the suffering ' , . I' . . ended and she fell into the blessed I - , ed sleep of . those who die in the Lord. IR 1 The deceased was born near t : Columbus , Ohio in August 1835. i At the age of eleven years she moved with her parents to Daven- ! . port , Ia. , and in her twelfth year ti united with the Methodist \ church. She was married in January - uary 1853 to Samuel Mace mber r I and to them two children were i born , J. \faComber and \frs. l' ' G. J. Crook of this city. Mr. j 1\laco mber was killed in action t J , j during the Civil war and in 1867 ' the deceased was married to Rev 'f , Ehm l\'Iartin. ' They removed to : t this county in 1869 and since that . ! time have resided near this city r To Rev. and lrs. Martin were born two children , Prof. George . . .E.Iartin of Nebraska City and , : Miss Anna Martin of this city. To the husband and children I ' . ; many friends extend sympathy. " .

Deputy Assessors Met " The deputy assessors met at I' ' the court house Tuesday for the purpose of making plans , and \ talking over matters pertaining to the coming : assessment. CQu tty' Assessor Jorn was also present as well as several members of the county board. The meeting was ' , I not formally organized and the . ; r + 1 y deliberations consisted of general discussion of the various topics brought up. The new revenue law provides for the taxing of dogs and poultry and it was de' = : citled to place the minimum value of a dog at one dollar.- If you have a dog and don't want him get rid of him before April 1st. There will be no discrimination whatever in the matter of assess- . ments and the assessors will use every endeavor to carry out the letter as well as the spirit of the law. A Question.
