E. J. Kinkead, station agent at Larrabee, died on the 23rd. He was operated on four days before for appendicitis. He came to Larrabee from Gaza about two months ago, having been agent there for a time. He was a married man but his wife was on a visit to her parents at Clifton, Kas., and did not get to Larrabee until the day after her husband died. The remains were taken to his former home at Clifton.

It is one of the most pleasant things one can imagine for a teacher to learn of the success of a pupil who has been at one time in his charge. We have heard at various times of the unusual success of a young man whom we once had the honor of teaching. The lad had difficulty in persuading his father that he needed a high school course of study, but finally got consent to stay awhile longer in school. This sort of persuasion was kept up until the young man finished the literary and later the medical course of study of the state university. He proved to be one of the best students ever at Iowa City, and he earned a fellowship in the medical department. His further course is indicated by the following clipping from the Reinbock Standard: Dr. Henry Albert returned from Iowa City Wednesday. He will leave in about ten days for Vienna, Austria, where he will remain for three months, taking special work in medicine and surgery. His father will accompany him and visit the scenes of his boyhood days.
