ed at odd jobs around the bam. The
loss Is estimated at $30,000 with less
than $5000 Insurance. Twenty two
horses were burned and later the

Called Home.
Wednesday morning at exactly 9:30
o'clock after a long and lingering illness,
Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Black Rust, vlfe
of Prof. W. D Rust of the State Cen-
tral Normal, passed peacefully away
at the family residence on Campbell
street. Mrs. Rust's illness had been
so long and severe that the frail human
body could stand the strain of it no
longer and so Wednesday morning
God sent an angel Into the sickroom
to lead His suffering daughter into
rest.
Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Black Rust was
born August 27th, in the year 1871 In
the city of Faribult, Minn., and there-
fore not quite 33 years of age, when
God took her to Himself. Ten years
ago she took up the work of life as a
teacher in Oklahoma City and two
years later became the wile of Prof.
W. D. Rust. Three years ago they
came to Edmond, and in the years that
she was with us she endeared herself
to a host of friends by the very whole-
someness of her life and character.
Five and a half weeks ago, however,
sickness came and despite all that
could be done she died Wednesday in
the 33rd year of her life.
The funeral services were held at
the house last night at 8 o'clock and
were conducted by Rev. Wardner, of
the Presbyterian church. After the
reading of the Scripture and prayer
the faculty quartettee sang "Lead
Kindly Light" after which Rev. Ward- .
ner made a few remarks of apprecia-
tion and comfort, in which he spoke of
Mrs. Rust as one who made all of the
other interest of her life subordinate to
the one great interest of her family, and
her home; so much so that it could be
very fitly said that her home was her
happiness and her family washer fame.
Mrs. Rust was also interested in the
literary and social life of tne commun-
ity and as president of the Nautilus
Club this last year she evidenced the
broadness of her culture and left a last-
ing impression upon the community
and upon the club, of which she was a
member. Mrs. Rust was a member
of the Presbyterian church and one
who like Mary loved to sit at the Mas-
ters feet and commune with Him in
scripture and prayer, and these two
methods of communion were her great-
est delight during all her weeks of ill-
ness. She was devoted to her family,
devoted to her community and devoted
to her Christ, and her life therefore
could not help but be a blessing to all
who knew her. Last night after Rev.
Wardner's remarks some 200 or more
of her friends filed by her casket and
and looked for the last time upon the
calm and peaceful face, while the
P acuity Quartette sang "Asleep In
Jesus."
Mrs. Rust leaves besides her hus-
band and her little boy two sisters and
one brother to mourn her bss, Mrs.
Emma Sirs of Brainerd, Kansas, Mr.
John B. Black of Wichita, Kansas and
Miss Georgia McD. Black of Eldorado,
Kansas, who was with her sister dur-
ing the last few week of her Illness.
Mrs. Rust was taken North this morn-
ing on the early train to the old home
In Eldorado, Kansas for interment. It
is needless to say that the heartfelt
sympathy of the whole community goes
with Prof. Rust and the others of the
funeral party in their sad journey
northward this morning.

Monday while chopping wood for his

The rains have done a world of good
while the wheat is too far gone to make
a full crop or any where near it. It
will be so much better than was ex-
pected that folks ought not to complain.
Some pieces that were pastured late
this spring are stooling out and if it
gets tall enough to bind may make a
good crop. Oats that was sown early
and came up is heading out. Late
sowing that did not come up before the
rain is looking well but probably will
be to late to be any good. Corn is looking
fairly well. Some cotton is up but the
farmers complain that the wet weath-
er is hurting it some. Wheat fields
that were listed and planted to kalfir
corn are suffering from the rain wash-
ing it out or covering it up. Potatoes
are not very good on an average most
people failed to get a good stand.
Gardens are mostly late but are be-
gining to look pretty well we ought to
try and raise lots of garden sass or we
will not have any fruit.
Last Thursday Ed. Boroher, Pete
Angel and Jim Percifleld took Borchers
dogs and went for a wolf hunt they
started two and after trailing them till
after noon they found their den on the
Geo. Kline place with six little wolves
in, the old ones however gave the dogs
the slip. Ar.gel and Percifleld came
to town about four 0 clock and got
Brown's dogs and started them on the
trail but they soon lost the trail and
gave up the chase for that day. But
Friday morning they took both Brown's
and Borcher's dogs and started on the
trail again and trailed till afternoon
when Angel and Borcher mounted
guard at the den and Percefield took
the trail with the dogs after about an
hours chase Percifleld and the dogs
came back to the den to find that the
old wolf had stolen the march on the
guards and taken four of the little
wolves and gone and probably would
have got the other two but the boys
had them in their pockets
