it Arago. Mrs. Christina Al-
jrechl was preceded eleven
ears by her husband to the
jand across the Silent River
uid since that time has made
ler home with Sigmund Spaeth
i ml family who were close
riends in the Faderland. Mrs.
j. Uosina Albrecht was born in
Wurttenberg , Germany Decem-
ior27 , 1821 and came to this
country before the great war.
Death was due to old age. She
ived a happy , useful life and
mule many friends. Funeral
services were conducted Tnes-
lay afternoon by Pastor Tense n
it the Spaeth residence on
North .Main Street , interment
in the Sleele Cemetery.
Word was received during tue
week of the death of Howard ID.
3ucher of Lisbon. la. lie was a
'ormer resident of this city and
las many warm friends in this
city that will be grieved to learn
of the early death of this exetu
ar ' young man. lie was em
ployed with his father in the
furniture business and his life in
the business world was one of
aptitude and ability- The de
ceased was a brilliant , forceful
student not being content with
equalling but striving to excel by
straightforward honest methods.
Thq sad news cast a gloom over
the entire community which will
take nitinv days of sunshine to
dispel. Howard D. Bucher was
bom January 30 , 1883 being at
the time of his death 22 years , 11
months and 21 days old. He
was a graduate of high school
with the class of 1901 and for 8
years had been a faithful devoted
member of church. He was a
nephew of Samuel Bucher of this
city and the deepest sympathy is
extended to the sorrowing father
and sister who survive him.
District Court.
Judge Rapcr is breaking the
record for rapidity in the dis
posal of court business. That
lawyers , litigants and clients
are kept on the jump and the
closing of this week of court
will disclose some very weary
men. The jury in the Schulen-
berg case returned a verdict of
guilty after several hours of de
liberation with a recomendation
for clemency on the part of the
court. A motion for a new tria !
has been filed and will be argue (
later on. The jury in the case
of Amelia Constantine against
the county which arose out of
the bridge accident in Barada
precinct last June returned ; i
verdict against the county foi
$2,000 , after a deliberation of a
short time. There are two of .
these cases yet to be tried mil
i1 is probable that they will io ; ,
over the term and some settle
ment be made by the interested
parlies. The accounting cast
of M. E. Gaudy vs Jerome
Wiltse has been on since Alon.
day , the court holding a night
session Wednesday night , we
go to press too early to give
the result. The next case to be !
heard is the State vs Burk , ; i
Rule case , after whicn the Finn
case will be heard. The first
case for next week will be Tin
Gaiser Manufacturing Co. , vs
Roy King. It is probable thai
court will last most of nexl
week.
Judge Kelligar was down Mon. .
day and heard several matters
of minor importance in the
clerk's room while Judge Rapei
was hearing jury cases. Amonj
the matters hoard by the Judge
Kelligar was the divorce case
of Whitten ys Whitten , in whicl
Wiliner Whittcn was granted r
divorce.from his wife and the
custody of his child.
Farmer's Institute.
The program as carried out
at the Fanners' Institute held
in this city on Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week was
fery successful both from an
nteresting a u < 1 instructive
stand point , The .lenne Opera
louse which had been secured
jy the Falls City relophone
Company for the use of the In
stitute wns crowded during the
entire session. Each number
eceived due attention , and
ever } ' one was delivered in a
manner that conveyed the
liought and work given to each
special line. The session open
ed Tuesday afternoon with
special music , followed br ad-
Iresses by Vol. Keysor and Win.
Mohler. Both gentlemen gave
nuch instructive advice both
on the spraying of fruit trees
ind the raising of seventy-live
bushels of corn to the acre.
Phis was followed by a general
liscnssion in which much in
terest was manifested. The
adies were greatly pleased with
the general pointers and helps
riven by Miss Rose Bouton in
emarks on Chemistry in the
kitchen. The evening session
commenced at 710 ; ! o'clock ' with
another musical number. Mr.
Keyser and Miss Bon ton de
livered two good lectures on
Decorative Plants and Domestic
Science.
What was especially pleasing
was the manner in which the
general discussion session was
taken up. M. L. Leonard gave
a careful , resourceful talk on
Economic : P o r k Production.
Growing potatoes was etpually
as good bT I. G. Ferguson , and
this took up the forenoon. The
afterntion session was devoted
to feeding sheep by Mr. Leonard
and "How to Till and Fertilize
the Farm" by 1. G. Ferguson.
That the institute was a success
und should be continued every
year is shown by the excellent
results of those held in the past.
Resolutions were adopted
thanking the people , committee
and oflicers in their various
ways in helping toward the suc
cess of the Institute.
Oflicers elected for the coming
year were ; President , M. J.
Schaible ; Vice President , John
