DEATH OF MRS. FRANK. 

Mrs. Gottfreid Frank died at her home on Cedar street in LeMars on Thursday evening at 7:30 in child birth. The funeral will be held on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the German M.E. church conducted by Rev. Geo. C. Rheinfrank. Deceased’s maiden name was Caroline Kular. She was born in Hopenland, Werttemberg, Germany on December 27, 1864 and came to America in March 1884, going to Freeport, Ill. She was united in marriage with Gottfried Frank, on December 14, 1884, at Freeport. They resided there until 1886 when they came to LeMars, which has since been their home. Nine children were born to them, seven of whom survive the mother. They are: Herman, Mary, Albert, George, Louise, Walter and Edwin. Deceased had no relatives in the United States and she was the only child, her mother in Germany being the only surviver of the family. She was a constant member of the German Methodist Church and a good Christian woman. The blow falls heavy upon the husband and children who will greatly miss their mother’s care. One sister of Mr. Frank from Oklahoma and one from Freeport, Ill., are expected here to attend the funeral.

PLYMOUTH COUNTY FAIR

The Directors Hand Out Some Hot Ones for Sioux City but they are
Incontrovertible Facts Facts, All the Same
The directors of the Plymouth County Fair have issued a circular letter
to the farmers and residents of Plymouth County which reads as follows:
LeMars, August 5, '03
Especially to the people of Plymouth County:
Be it remembered that on the 25th day of January the board of directors
of Plymouth county fair met and decided to hold the fair on 1903 on
September 1, 2, 3, 4.  Three days afterwards notice of these dates were
sent to secretaries of other fairs that there might not be any
confliction.  Notices were also sent to many newspapers in and out of
the state, Sioux City papers included, all of which kindly published
them.

Several weeks afterwards Sioux City people organized a fair and sent a
committee to LeMars to meet the directors of the Plymouth County Fair to
induce them to change their dates; that their committee wanted the same
week for the Sioux City fair.  They were advised that our directors were
opposed to such a request nor was it the sense of our people that a
change should be made after holding the fair on that week for several
years past.  Knowing these facts and to thrust the knife into the LeMars
fair they took the same dates for their fair.  It is a scheme of Sioux
City to endeavor to break down the enterprises of other cities by taking
same dates to gain their own selfish interests.  Have not the outsiders
been faked enough by the past history of the Sioux City fairs, etc.?

Why could not Sioux City have taken some other week for their fair and
not oppose its neighboring people that have in the past aided more in
upbuilding that city and pouring into the coffers of its merchants, its
carnivals, etc, thousands of dollars more than any county surrounding
it.  Is it not high time that our people should retaliate and repeat
these unwarranted insults to a people who have been their best patrons?
Now is the opportune time to stop this catering to Sioux City and build
up the business interests of Plymouth county and its home institutions.
Let us show those people that we are entirely independent of them in
everything they have.

There is not a town in Plymouth county but what has its honorable,
prudent, intelligent, generous and painstaking merchants.  They carry as
a general thing large and well selected stocks of goods.  There prices
are as low as the lowest.  By your patronage to them they are sustained
and prospered and their prosperity enhances every acre of land in
Plymouth county.  Take away the prosperity of the town and their
enterprises and would the farmer or speculator be receiving one hundred
dollars per acre and in cases more for this land in Plymouth County.
Answer for yourself.  [no more of this article on the page]

AUTO CAUSED RUNAWAY

The team of horses belonging to Kuhn Bros., the Main street painter, ran
away on Wednesday and a wagon was badly wrecked, both horses were
injured, a harness damaged and A.J. Kuhn, who made a heroic effort to
hold the team was so severely injured in one limb that he will not be
able to work for several days.

The team was standing at the back door of the paint house just after
dinner and A.J. Kuhn and Tom Gooch were loading paints and ladders to go
to work when an auto came along and ran within a few feet of the horses
heads and frightened them and they started.  Gooch made a grab for the
lines but missed them and at the same time Kuhn caught one horse by the
head as they whirled around and was carried over a horse power at
Kistle's feed house and then east across Main street, when the team
turned south and Kuhn was dragged to the Phillips house crossing in his
effort to hold them.  Freed from Mr. Kuhn's grasp, the team ran a block
at a furious rate and swerved from the street into a four foot deep
ditch at the Congregational church which threw both horses at full
length on the cement walk thirty feet beyond and the wagon on top of
them, one of the horses being pinioned beneath the wagon with its legs
run through one wheel.  Both axels of the wagon were bent and the spokes
broken out of two wheels, and the paints and ladders were strewed over a
wide area of walk.  One of the horses was badly strained from the fall
but the other escaped with less injury.  Kuhn's leg was trampled by one
of the horses and badly bruised and cut.

Zack Eyres' horse which was standing on the street when the team passed
and became excited and ran away on its own account, running up to the
east part of town, but was stopped without doing any damage.

REUNION OF OSSIANS AT REMSEN

Remsen added new laurels to her crown on August 5 and 6, the occasion
being the first annual celebration in hone of 100 Ossians, who had come
from the towns in the Northeast part of the state to make home in
Western Iowa and the occasion was a genuine family reunion of
Ossianites, a large number of whom are now residents of Remsen and in
nearby territory.  The guests were welcomed by J.P. Keiffer, in an
address sparkling with wit and good cheer, he being the chosen
representative of Mayor Fisch.  [no more of this article on the page]

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Fire Caused by Lightning Does Damage to the Amount of $4,000.

Last Friday evening about 8:45 during a heavy electrical storm the large
barn containing 100 tons of hay on the farm of Nick Schlessser one mile
and a half east of town was struck by lightning and burned to the ground
along with the hog house, horse barn and corn crib with 300 bushels of
corn.  The fire broke out in the west end of the large barn and in a
very short time the buildings were all in flames.  Five head of horses
were rescued and a little harness was all the men on the farm had time
to save.  As near as we can learn there were three head of horses killed
and a few chickens, the number of hogs and other animals killed is not
known yet.  A large crowd from Struble went out at once but it was
little they could do for everything was on fire.  The house, although
quite close, was not injured any nor the granary, buggies, etc.  The
wind was favorable or it would have swept the whole farm bare.  Very
little insurance is carried on the property.  It being a rainy night was
a God send for had it been dry no doubt the damage would have been much
greater.  Dan Buckley also had a hay stack set fire by the lightning.
The entire community sympathize with Mr. Schlesser and family in their
misfortune.
--Struble Journal

LOSS WILL NEARLY REACH FIVE THOUSAND

Nick Schlesser, the man whose barn was burned by lightning, one and a
half miles east of Struble on Friday night, was in LeMars Monday, buying
harness and other things necessary for immediate use on the farm, nearly
all of his harness having been destroyed.  Mr. Schlesser lost a fine
barn, three head of horses, a number of hogs and some cattle, a large
quantity of grain, about 80 tons of hay and a lot of the farm implements
which are used in the spring.  He estimates his loss between $4000 and
$5000.  Mr. Schlesser was splendidly equipped with the necessary
implements to conduct his large farming operations, having been as well
stocked as nay farm in Iowa and the loss is very heavy.  He could not at
this time make a close estimate of his losses.

He was insured on all of his property in the German Catholic Insurance
company of Remsen and will recover a portion of his loss, but could not
estimate the probable amount of his recovery.

DEAD MAN NOT JOHN GERGE

The man who was killed by an Omaha freight train near the fair grounds
on Decoration Day and who was supposed from papers found on his person
to be John Gerge, was John W. Gregg, and his father resides at New
Market, Iowa, and is an old soldier.  His mother is dead.  His sister,
Mrs. Mary Prayer, who formerly lived in Sioux City but now lives on the
Winnebago Indian reservation about twenty miles from Sioux City in
Nebraska.  Mrs. Prayer learned of her brother's death from some horse
traders who knew him and came to LeMars on Monday to satisfy herself of
her brother's death.  From the definite description which Coroner Beely
gave her, Mrs. Prayer was certain that he was her brother and visited
the cemetery, where he was buried, with Mr. Beely.

TWENTY YEARS IN LE MARS

The date of the nineteenth of August marks an epoch in the career of
R.I. Dabb, the jolly and popular LeMars photographer, and although he is
still a young man he can look back over two decades with a sense of
satisfaction and see a successful accomplishment of things he set out to
do in his early youth.  On August 19, 1883, Mr. Dabb engaged in the
photographic business in this city in the studio which he still
occupies.  Since that time he has built up a business second to none in
the northwest and acquired a reputation as an artist of the first rank.
During his long residence here Mr. Dabb has gained the friendship and
esteem of the majority of the residents of Plymouth county and LeMars,
and they look upon him as one of themselves.  If a family group is to be
portrayed around the old homestead, Dabb is the man, then with his
paraphernalia he journeys to the farm and takes an artistic picture and
enjoys a visit with the folks at one and the same time.  If a bride and
groom want a picture and of course they always do, Dabb is the man.
There is hardly a member of a graduating class for the past twenty years
that has not a group in which she or he figures and it is dollars to
doughnuts that "Bob" Dabb was the artist of the highly prized picture
and when it comes to depicting the beautiful grace and lively limbs of
the babies, Dabb has the most of them beat a mile, and many a mother
looks with pride on the beautiful representation of her darling's
charms.  With age as with tender youth, Mr. Dabb has a master hand.  His
portraits of the aged mother or rugged pioneer are faithful in detail
and speaking in their lineament.  That Mr. Dabb will continue twice
twenty years in his profession and delight thousands of people with his
skill and artistic feeling is the sincere wish of his many friends.

LET US SHOW THEM WE ARE ALIVE.

Why not make a gala week of the fair throughout the city by a general
decoration of the business houses and homes.  Add beauty and delight to
the occasion by the display of flags, bunting, sheaves of grain and
corn.  It will cost but little for each and the joy it will afford the
visitors on coming to the city will repay a hundred folds in the words
of praise that would go out for the wide awake and generous people of
LeMars.

DEATH OF MRS. FRANK H. PEAVEY

Sioux City Journal:  An illness of several months terminated Saturday
evening in the death of Mrs. Frank Peavey, of Minneapolis, aged 52.
Mrs. Peavey is remembered here as the wife of Frank H. Peavey, the
successful elevator proprietor who began his business career in Sioux
City.  The news of Mrs. Peavey's death came in a telegram to her
brother, Craig L. Wright, at 6 o'clock Saturday evening.  Mr. Wright and
E. H. Stone, brother-in-law of the deceased woman, left at once for
Minneapolis.

Mrs. Peavey lived in Sioux City with her husband from 1872 to 1884, when
Mr. Peavey removed to Minneapolis to engage in the grain business on a
large scale.  Mr. Peavey's death in Chicago in December 1901, and the
consequent grief of his wife, is considered in a measure responsible for
her death.

Mrs. Peavey was a niece of Captain D. Drew, of LeMars.

LE MARS TELEPHONE COMPANY
The New Company has its System in Operation in LeMars and Plymouth
County

"We are trying to make your service better all the time."  This is the
keynote of the LeMars Telephone company which is now doing business in
LeMars, with headquarters in the Colledge building on Sixth street.  The
new company began business this eek and the hello girls in its employ
have been kept busy at work ever since.  There are two hundred and fifty
phones in operation in the city already and others are being put in and
connected every day.  A number of the rural lines are also in operation
and by the first of September the entire local system will be work and
every detail of the work will be complete.

The company is making no charge for phones during the remainder of this
month and the service is given free until the first of September.

The new company has lines built from LeMars to Dalton, Struble, Mammen,
Remsen and O'Leary and rural lines to Crathorne and Merrill are in
process of construction.  The town of Struble also has a telephone
system operated by this company.

With its present organization and method of operation the new company is
in splendid shape to give service and satisfaction to its patrons.  The
material used in the construction of the system is the best that can be
obtained and the most durable and expensive that can be procured in the
different markets of the United States.

The LeMars Telephone company of LeMars is incorporated under the laws of
the state of Iowa, with an authorized capital of $50,000 made up of
shares of $100 each.  The capital stock is divided into common and
preferred stock, $25,000 each.  Any patron may become a stockholder in
the company and may purchase either common or preferred stock.  The
preferred stock pays an annual dividend of eight per cent payable on
January 15 and July 15 of each year, and payable semi-annually
thereafter on the same date.  No dividends shall be paid on the common
stock until all dividends shall have been paid on the preferred stock
but only holders of common stock shall be entitled to vote or hold
office.  All stock is non-assessable when fully paid and the private
property of the stockholders is exempt from corporate debt.  The
indebtedness of the company shall not exceed one half of the paid up
capital stock.  The offices of the company do not receive a salary, and
are required to pay regular rates or telephone services. 

The offices of the company in the Colledge building are filled up in the
most improved modern fashion and the latest make of the central energy
switch board is used. 

The batteries in the office are supplied with electricity by the LeMars
Electric Light company, and in case of accidents the telephone company
has three reserve storage batteries making it impossible to have any
suspension in the workings of the system.  Each battery is kept charged
to an average of 100, which makes conversation easily and distinctly
heard through every phone and does not demand the raise of the voice one
particle.

The company has already secured a number of competent operators, all of
whom have had experience in telephone work.  They are Misses Hattie
Perkins, Elsie Green, Dora Pech, and Mary Coffey.

The company is here to stay and is going the right way about securing
custom and patronage.  The officers of the company are LeMars men.  The
are A.C. Colledge, president;  F.A. Post, vice president;  I.S. Mahan,
secretary and treasurer; J.U. Sammis, general counsel.  A.C. Colledge,
F.A. Post, E.A. Dalton, I.S. Mahan and E. Duke Naven form the board of
directors.

WILL RETIRE FROM BUSINESS
George Heinemann Has Concluded to Close Out His Mercantile Interests in
This City

George Heinemann, who has conducted one of the largest dry goods
establishments in this city for the past twelve years, has concluded to
retire from business at an early date.

Mr. Heinemann has several reasons for taking this decisive step.  Among
them are the loss of his wife, his own indifferent health, and the
desire of the younger members of his family to embark in other
enterprises.

It will be remembered that Mr. Heinemann suffered a severe blow by the
death of his wife which occurred on July 9.  For some time past his own
health has not been of the most rugged and too close attention to
business, compelling long hours and confinement indoors has told on his
physical condition and entitles him to rest and retirement.

His son and daughter are desirous of entering into other pursuits.  The
former will probably move to Chicago very shortly and engage in business
there.  In view of these facts, Mr. Heinemann stated to a Sentinel
representative, that he did not feel like conducting the heavy burden of
the large business alone, and would sell out and take things somewhat
easier and enjoy out door life and recuperate.  He proposes to sell out
his large stock of dry goods, carpets and millinery as rapidly as
possible at figures which will be regardless of cost.  When the stock is
disposed of he will sell or rent the building and fixtures.  He proposes
to begin the great closing out sale on September 1, and the store will
be closed on Monday, August 31 to make ready for the event.

Mr. Heinemann said he would dispose of his stock to a suitable partner
but he found that purchasers with enough capital to buy his entire
stock, were few and far between, as the stock he carried was far larger
than that generally carried in towns the size of LeMars.

Mr. Heinemann has been in LeMars for the past dozen years, and has built
up a splendid business by energetic and capable methods accompanied by
unswerving courtesy and fair dealing with customers and the general
public.  During his business career he has been liberal in contributions
to public enterprises and has certainly done his share in keeping up
with the procession which works for the town and its best interests.

Mr. Heinemann will let the public know some more about the great closing
out sale during the next few weeks through one of the best advertising
channels, the columns of the Sentinel.

decided that he will be a candidate for treasurer.  Mr. Remer is well
qualified for the office.  He is an old resident of the county and has
always been an active republican.  He will make a strong candidate, if
nominated.

HANCOCK:  (Special Correspondence)

C. Closner was threshing his grain last Monday and Tuesday.  The yield

Will Cowell is very busy these day grading and leveling the ground on

In the recent storm Mrs. Briggs lost almost his entire crop and the loss
will perhaps reach two thousand dollars.  Tom Walsh lost about five
hundred dollars worth of corn.  J. M. Wagoner and William Cassman are
also heavy losers.  Will Cowell thinks his loss will be about two
hundred dollars and Will Rusk and John Rasmussen lost about the same
amount.  Daniel Luchsinger had forty five acres of corn destroyed and
T.A. Ross lost twenty five acres of corn and ten acres of oats.
William Bowder lost about three hundred dollars worth of corn and Martin
Larsen lost the same amount.  George Knapp estimates his loss at five
hundred dollars and several others suffered losses who have not yet
estimated the amounts.  This vicinity is almost considered out of the
hail belt and very few of the farmers carry any insurance will have to
bear the entire loss without being able to recover anything.  Mr.
Luchsinger, Will Rusk and George Knapp were insured and their loss will
not be so great if they can collect their insurance.  Will Cowell was
driving home the other evening and came to a place where the road had
been changed.  He was driving very fast and ran into a four wire fence
across the old road.  The horses were going with such a force that two
posts were broken and all of the wire were also broken but the team were
stopped so suddenly that Will was thrown over the dash board and bruised
some.  The horses were only slightly injured.

T.W. Walsh was visiting friends near Potosia last Friday.

The Funeral of N.L. Greer

The funeral of the late N.L. Greer was held from the home on Plymouth
street on Wednesday afternoon and it was indeed a sorrowful cortege
which followed the remains to their last resting place and mingled its
tears with those who had been called upon a second time in a brief
period to bear the heavy burdens of bereavement which is placed upon
them by the hands of death.

Brief funeral services were held at the home by Rev. L.G. Kent, pastor
of the Congregational church, and who read the twenty-third Psalm, which
was his favorite Psalm.  His favorite hymn, “Abide With Me,” was sung
very feelingly by a quartett, composed of Mrs. D. Drew, Miss Lulu Brown,
C.L. Trenery and E.T. Bedell, and after a fervent prayer the family took
the last look upon his face and the friends within passed to the casket
to see him for the last time.

The funeral was held under the auspices of the Masonic lodge, of which
he was a most highly esteemed member and LeMars Lodge, B.P.O. Elks, of
which he was a charger member, joining in the Masonic column as a guard
of honor.  The Masons, followed by the Elks, marched to the home and
took position at the house of mourning.  By request of a large number
who had not recently seen Mr. Greer in life, the remains were placed in
a shady place on the lawn, when, after the members of the two orders who
were taking an active part in the funeral had paid their respects to the
dead, the friends took a farewell look upon his face.  From the house
the Masonic order led the procession, followed by the Elks, bore the
remains to the cemetery.  The members of the Plymouth Old Settlers
Association, of which he was a most valued member, attended in a body.

The impressive ritualistic services of the Masonic order were conducted
at the grave and after each individual Mason had deposited upon the
casket its funeral emblem the Elks passed by he open grave and cast
their emblem upon the casket, each uttering “Peace Be With You.”

At the close of the services the members of the different orders formed
in line in the same order in which they had marched to the cemetery and
accompanied the family back to the house as a guard of honor.

The floral tributes were of surprising beauty, those of the Masonic,
Elks and K. of K. lodges being the emblems of the order some were rich
in the rare beauty of their colorings.  The cemetery association of
which he was a member sent a beautiful tribute and a most beautiful
bouquet of white as sent by a number of ladies who were near friends.
The parlor was a huge bank of flowers sent by numerous friends which
bore evidence that scores of persons share with the family in their
great sorrow.

The pall bearers were Alex Relchmann, P.F. Dalton, Geo. A. Sammis, W. S.
Freeman, Judge F. R. Gaynor, and A. A.  Alline.

Madison Greer, Of Tarkio, Mo., a brother of the dead man and Mrs. G.E.
Albrook, of Algona, a sister of Mrs. Greer, Mr and Mrs. Jay Greer, of
Spencer, and Mrs. and Mrs. Clay Greer, of Sioux City, were the relatives
from a distance, who came to attend the funeral.  Mrs. Albrook will
remain here for some time to visit her sister.

PRISONER GOES INSANE

F. H. Smith, an inmate of the county jail, created quite a commotion
among his fellow prisoners and the residents of that part of town on
Wednesday about midnight, by becoming violently insane.  Smith woke up
in the night and violently assaulted his cell mate, Arthur Harris, who
is in jail on the charge of rape awaiting the action of the grand jury.
Harris screamed for help and the noise of his cries, in addition to
those of Smith, was what startled the residents of that part of town.
Sheriff Herron, and G.W. Bunt, who sleep in the sheriff's house
adjoining, were on the spot in a few moments and turning on the lights
Smith was seen hurling himself against the bars and acting like a man

DEATH OF S.W. LEEKLEY

S.W. Leekley, who formerly lived in this county, died at his home at
Brookings, S.D., on Saturday morning from a stroke of paralysis with
which he was stricken about two weeks before.

He was born at Galena, Ill., about 60 years ago and resided there until
1877 when he came to Marcus where he lived for about four years and came
to Stanton township in this county, being a neighbor of Mat Delahunt,
and lived here for twenty years going to Brookings about two years ago
on account of his land interests changing to that point.

He was married to Miss Elizabeth Raw in Galena about thirty-six years
ago and five children survive him, there being two sons and three
daughters.  Two sons died suddenly, John Leekly, being struck by
lightning in a harvest field in Oklahoma about six years ago and Charles
Leekley dying in a hospital a few days after he was taken sick at
Tucson, Arizona, just as he was thought to be able to leave the
hospital.  His father was stricken with paralysis and died in a very
similar manner.  He leaves a widow and two sons, Mark A. and Robert and
three daughters, Nellie, Rora, and Elsie.  Two brothers survive him one
being in Minneapolis and one in Des Moines.  He was widely known
throughout Plymouth county as a man of the highest honor and integrity
and his death will cause much regret where he was known.

The funeral will be held at Brookings on Wednesday.  Mr. and Mrs. A.
Muxlow and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lessenger went to Brookings to attend the
funeral.

COURTNEY-CAREY WEDDING
Well Known LeMars Girl Weds Wealthy Minnesota Grain Buyer

On Tuesday morning, August 25, in LeMars, occurred the marriage of Miss
Mayme Agnes Courtney, of this city, and Mr. Thomas E. Carey, of
Ellsworth, Minn.  The wedding ceremony took place at St. James church,
at eight o'clock in the morning, in the presence of a number of
relatives and friends of the contracting parties.  Rev. Father
O'Farrell, pastor of the church, performed the ceremony.  Miss Teresa
Courtney was bridesmaid to her sister, and Mr. James Carey, a brother of
the bride groom was best man.

The bride was exquisitely gowned in a dress of pure French lawn,
shirred, and ornamented with beautiful appliqué lace.  She carried a
bouquet of white bridal roses tied with white satin ribbons.  The
bridesmaid's dress was also of French lawn with beautiful insertion and
she carried a bouquet of charming pink roses tied with pink ribbon.

After the ceremony at the church the wedding party repaired to the home
of the bride's mother on Eagle street where an elegant wedding breakfast
awaited the guests.  The party at breakfast numbered twenty five,
composed of relatives and fifteen intimate girl friends of the bride.
The parlor and dining room were lovely and fragrant in decorations of
smilax, roses and sweet peas.  In the bay window of the parlor banks of
sweet peas were radiant in loveliness and here the bride and groom
received the hearty congratulations of their friends.

A wedding breakfast followed, served in three courses.  The bounty of
the table appointments were further enhanced with smilax and flowers,
and the bride's bouquet made a lovely centerpiece.  Misses Nell Condor,
Josie Reichmann, Cora Sullivan and Anna Culligan assisted in the service
of breakfast.

The time honored custom of tossing the bride's bouquet was conformed to
and as it flew into the air from the hands of the fair bride, fifteen
pair of hands made a dash for the lucky emblem.  Miss May Molampy and
Miss Flo Holihan divided honors as each clasped the bouquet  at the same
lucky moment, amid shouts of merriment from the rest.  Miss Anna Hopkins
was the lucky finder of the ring in the wedding cake, another omen for
the matrimonial prospects.

The newly married couple left on the noon train for Lake Okoboji for a
two weeks outing before going to the home at Ellsworth. Their departure
was heralded by showers of rice and flowers and the merry tormentors
followed the bridal pair in to the car with more showers.  The bride's
going away gown was a pretty dress of blue Gibilene cloth with hat to
match. 

The bride is the daughter of Mrs. M. Burke, of this city, and has lived
here nearly all her life, and is extremely popular with her friends of
whom she has many.  Mr. Carey is a successful young business man whose
home is at Ellsworth, Minn., where they will make their home.

bouquet, in his coat, may account for the fact that his acquaintances

Mrs. M. J. Relya, of that place.  Rev. Barlett, the pastor of the Akron

A NEW CLOTHING STORE FOR LE MARS
                         1881-1903

The Dow Clothing Co. will open a clothing store on Main street, about
September 2nd, at the old Dow stand.

Herman F. Dow, whom our old citizens will remember as conducting one of
our best clothing stores for twelve years, will open a thoroughly good
clothing emporium, under the management of George A. Sammis, assisted by
George M. Mordoff and others.

It's a peculiar incident to note that just twenty-two years ago this
month, Mr. Dow opened his first Iowa Clothing Store here in LeMars on
Sixth street.

The new store will stand on the same principles it did years ago.  Its
reputation for honest goods at reasonable prices stands unimpeached.
The same liberal lines that characterized the old store will prevail in
the new, only a larger scale and in accordance with the business growth.

Nothing has been left undone to make this new store an important factor
in the business district of this city.  The old building has been
completely remodeled and fitted up in modern store style: besides a new
front, other improved changes have been made.

When the new firm opens its doors the people of LeMars and vicinity may
expect to find a thoroughly high-class and brand new stock of fall and
winter clothing.  We're glad to welcome the new firm and here's to the
success of The Dow Clothing Co.

Funeral of Thomas Carpenter

The funeral of Thomas Carpenter who was killed by the caving in of a

body and members of the Mower Post, G.A.R., and the W.R.C., of which the
father and mother of the unfortunate young man are members attending in
a body.  The members of the W.O.W. met at their hall nearly 100 strong
and marched to the home and accompanied the remains to the church as a
guard of honor and accompanied the remains also to the church cemetery.

Mower Post G.A.R.  and W.R.C. sent a beautiful wreath and the Woodman
sent an elaborate wreath and a beautiful wreath was sent by a number of
the young people while the church was filled with numerous floral gifts
from the friends of the family who gave this evidence of their sorrow to
the afflicted family.

The pall bearers were:  Geo. Butler, Mr. Smith, Roy Calhoun, Scott Gee,
Clarence Bell, J.W. Bixby.  Deceased held a $1000 policy in the Woodmen
of the World and his beneficiary will receive $500 upon it being
specified in the policy that if a death occurs during the first year of
the policy but one portion of the full amount will be paid.
Card of Thanks
We hereby wish to thank our friends and neighbors, who so kindly aided
us during the loss of our dear son and father.  We wish also to thank
the G.A.R., W.R.C. and especially the W.O.W. for their aid and sympathy.
T.J. Carpenter and Family.

Overcome By Heat

Peter Schwind was called to attend him and reset the collar bone and
administered to him to overcome the effects of the heat and the internal
injuries and on Tuesday he was getting along nicely, considering the
nature and extent of his injuries.  The injury is a serious one as Mr.

shoulders, on account of not being able to break the force of its fall
