PRESS COMMENT.

Should Be Arrested.
Ida Grove Pioneer: Some of these $150 Chautauqua lecturers ought to be
arrested for obtaining money under false pretenses.

Revive the Ducking Stool.
Ida Grove Pioneer: Susie Cecil, aged twenty-two, was hounded to death at
LeMars by gossips and now that she is in her grave it has been proven that
there was no foundation whatever for what was peddled by vile tongues. A
return of the old ducking stool and the half drowning of a lot of evil
gossipers would be a great thing for LeMars, Ida Grove and every other town
in the country.

FREDONIA: (Special Correspondence)

Mrs. John Hollster was a LeMars visitor Friday.

Hans Mortenson is building an addition to his home.

A telephone representative has been repairing the phones on the different
lines this week.

Mr. Hans Anderson is hauling lumber from Carnes for the building of a new

Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Weber and daughters, Miss Della and Mrs. Anna Kilker, who

Monday, returned to their homes Thursday.

Mr. Grange, of Sioux Rapids, who has been visiting friends in the
neighborhood for several days, left for Pipestone Friday morning for an
extended visit with relatives and friends.

Mesdames Cook, Holster and Mrs. Grange went down to LeMars Thursday on the
morning train from Carnes on a shopping expedition and to witness the play,
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" which they pronounced very good.

A number of our people went down to Sioux City Thursday to attend Buffalo
Bill's exhibition and all complain of poor accommodation enroute. Why would
it not be a good idea for the railroads to provide double decked cars for
such occasions, thus conveying double the amount of passengers without the
expense of extra cars? This idea is not patented so the corporations are
free to appropriate it should they choose without any extra expense to
themselves. We believe in aiding the poor and oppressed in every way that
we can.

Why is it so many automobile owners seem to consider that they are the only
ones that have any right on the highways? As a funeral procession was
nearing Oyens a few days ago an automobile came rapidly toward it on the
cross road just north of the town. The gentleman propelling the machine
instead of respectfully halting until the procession passed arrogantly
proceeded on this ways thereby stopping about half the team in the line. If
that particular specimen of the genus homo could have heard the indignant
remarks made upon his conduct we think his ears would be tingling yet. He
evidently had not a spark of decency nor respect in his composition. We
regret that we did not know the person's name that we might write it out in
full.

STRUBLE: (Special Correspondence)

The song of the threshing machine is heard on all sides these days.

Buffalo Bill's show attracted a large crowd from here Thursday.

John St. John, of LeMars, is lathing for Herman Renken's new house.

James Noble and Josiah Stinton visited the state fair at Des Moines.

Mrs. Frank Smith and daughters, of LeMars, visited at the P.A. Seaman home

Everybody in the county should read the official county paper, the Sentinel.
Subscribe now.

Mrs. Ellen Moran and John Sayer were Maurice passengers Thursday evening to

Mr. and Mrs. John and Jim Kuborn and Mr. and Mrs. Gangler were present at

John Smith, who bought the Ed. Johnson farm at $110 per acre, has been

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Deegan, Mrs. and Mrs. J. J. Deegan, J. H. Hawkins and
daughter, Anthon Durband and Mrs. C. W. Etack were at Mr. Lynch's funeral on
Friday.

Struble has many beautiful homes for a town of its size. There seems to be
a good natured rivalry in Struble along such a line. Such a rivalry is
favorable. Let the good work go on.

While we beautify our gardens we should not forget our relatives and friends
who are at peaceful rest. There are so many little mounds in our cemetery
that need looking after, it seems fitting that our silent city should be
made as beautiful as hands could make it. None of us are too poor to plant
a flower above the resting place of our dead relative or friend.

John Lynch was born in Ontario, Canada, fifty years ago and died in the
hospital at LeMars, August 26, 1908. He settled at Maurice, Iowa, eighteen
years ago and his first work done was at the building of St. Mary's church
in company with his brother-in-law, Thos. Stakc, of LeMars. Soon afterwards
he was married to Miss Ella Buckley, who with two daughters, Lizzie and
Katie, and two brothers, Jerry and Joe, of Oregon, survive. He was also an
uncle of Will, Joe and Thomas Lynch, of LeMars. Mr. Lynch was a kind father
and husband and his neighbors will all testify to this outstretched hand in
sickness and trouble. He was an energetic member of St. Anthony's Court,
C. O. of F., in which he had $1,000 insurance. None but those who have sat
in the shadow of great bereavements justly weight such a sorrow as this.
Those who have stood for months by the side of loved ones as hope after hope
dropped away as the petals fall from a fading flower know that such anguish
cannot find solace in the tenderest words.
