CONDENSED CLASSIFICATION OF DEATH PERIODS.
The County has lost 768 under 10 years of age; it has lost in the second period (10 to 20 years old) 132; in the third period, 179; and so on as above stated to the eleventh period. None who have died in the County lived to see the eleventh or 100 year period. The number of deaths since the organization of the County, in 1853, has been, so far as reports from twenty-three cemeteries could be had, about 2,700 persons, viz: 1,622 names and ages obtained; 174 names, but did not get their ages; about 904 graves counted with- out names or age of the dead.
The periods above have names and ages and number 1,622 per- sons, many of whom were among our most valued citizens and dearest friends. The above table (and which was made up with great care) shows the extraordinary circumstance of nearly one- half of the total death loss as having been of the children under ten years old. This is a very surprising circumstance. Yet it seems true. Of the tenth period Mrs. Susanna Mclain was the oldest on the list. She was 944 years old at the time of her death.

I. O. G. T. AT NEVADA.
The New Hope Lodge of Good Templars at Nevada in their District convention held June 28 and 29. 1887, was a success. Dr. Hutchins, of Des Moines, and F. B. Raber, of Baltimore, Md., were the principal speakers. Dr. Hutchins spoke to a full house in the Opera House on the evening of the twenty-eight. He spoke eloquently and forcibly on prohibition, and in favor of the enforce- ment of the law. Hutchins is hard to beat as a speaker.
Mr. Raber spoke to an interested assemblage at the Park on the evening of the twenty-ninth on Prohibition and the Constitution- ality of the Prohibitory Laws.
As an orator Hutchins can beat him, but as a forcible condenser reaching every point of the subject in well chosen words I do not think I ever heard him beaten. Both speakers are a power on pro- hibition. ' I am not a member of the order, but if such principles as their speakers vindicated are theirs, I trust in God they may do a noble work. Both speakers were proud of Iowa. When Dr. Hutchins was in England he desired a noted Englishman to show him through his large business establishment; the Englishman excused himself by saying he was so hurried in business he could not. He asked Hutchins where he was from? The Doctor said, "I am from Iowa, one of the United States." The Englishman at once approached him with cheer and gladness and said: "Yes, sir; I am at your service; for Iowa is the grandest country in the world. It has power in England on the temperance question over all other countries."
The New Hope Lodge of Good Templars of Nevada now (July 1, 1887) number seventy members.
THE SABBATH SCHOOL FOR MORAL TRAINING.
The Sabbath School has more to do in training the young mind than any other organization. It is said a preventive is better than a remedy, especially wlien the remedy is of doubtful character. The young when properly trained and properly taught-connected with proper government-controlled for good while the mind is susceptible of moral training, and while a wholesome and saving influence can be impressed on the mind with noble and saving principles. But if permitted to grow up to mature years in reck- less and dangerous amusements from youth, the mind becoming unsettled from a seared conscience and bad associations, it becomes difficult then for any instructor or ministerial influence to correct his doubtings after his doubtings become fixed. The training of the mind when it is susceptible of wholesome influences is surely much safer for the future than to depend on producing a safe and permanent change of mind when the mind is matured in visionary conclusions.
433
HISTORY OF STORY COUNTY, IOWA.
There is much interest manifested in Sabbath Schools at this time in Story County, There are about fifty-seven organizations or schools in the County, and perhaps about 3,200 attendants or scholars. From reports of their workings we may be very much encouraged for the future morals of our people.
Let us encourage the Sabbath School!
MOVING A TOWN.
Reports come from Sheldahl that there is strong talk of moving that town, which has enjoyed the unique notoriety of being situ- ated in the three corners of Polk, Boone and Story Counties, and relocating it a mile north of the present site at the crossing of the Northwestern and Milwaukee roads. Mr. Jenks, who owns the territory around the new locality, offers liberal inducements in lots to all householders of Sheldahl who will remove their buildings, with donations to churches, school houses, etc., and with the advan- tages a location with two great trunk lines would give it is said to be very likely that the present town will be taken up bodily and moved. The North western opposes the transfer, but the Milwaukee promises to take good care of the new town's interests .- Boone Republican .- (May 26, 1887.)
The contracts for moving the majority of the buildings at Shel- dahl to Slater was let last week, and the work has already com- menced. The job will not be as long a one as might be supposed, as it has been let to a number of parties. Soon the crossing will be a thriving mart, and one that ought to make a fine trading point, backed as it will be by a railroad crossing of rival lines. It will soon rank as the third town in size in the County .- Watch- man .- (June 10, 1887.)
The Story City News came to hand on Saturday flying the Re- publican flag, with C. W. Allen and O. B. Peterson at the fore. The News is successor to the Story City Review .- (Ames, May 26, 1887.)
TWO MEN DROWNED IN INDIAN CREEK AT MAXWELL.
On last Friday evening several of the men working in the gravel pit, accompanied by a number of the town boys, went into the creek bathing just below the railroad bridge. After being in the water a reasonable length of time all came out but one, a Mr. Law- son, and were dressing, when one of the men said, "I believe Law- son is drowning," whereupon Mr. C. E. Winslow rushed into the water to save him, and virtually gave his own life in his attempt to save that of his friend. They grappled and struggled for a few moments, but soon sank to their watery graves. Every effort was made by those on the shore to save them, but in vain. The news
28
434

soon spread to town, and a large number of citizens assembled on the banks, and, procuring a hay rake, the creek was dragged and the bodies found and taken out. Some effort was made to bring them to life, but the two physicians present pronounced it impossible. The bodies were brought to the Brodie boarding house and properly dressed. It was indeed a sad sight to see the two bodies lying side by side in the arms of death, which scarce an hour before were in the prime of young manhood. Their parents, who live near Mad- rid, were telegraphed to, but not receiving an answer, a messenger was sent on the night passenger train to break the sad news to the aged parents. In the meantime suitable coffins were procured and the bodies placed in them. The ladies presented two beautifully arrayed flower pillows. The parents of the young men, the Messrs. Lawson and Winslow, came in the afternoon train, and returned home in the evening with the bodies of their sons. Both of the young men bear undisputed reputations for industry and morality, and were both converted in the meetings conducted by Mrs. M. Q. Libby at Madrid last winter. ST. CRIS. -Republican .- (May 25, 1887.)
MORE ABOUT THE SPIRIT LAKE MASSACRE.
During the session of the Iowa Legislature, 1857-58, Hon. J. L. Dana, of Nevada, who then was a member of the House, asked for and obtained an indemnity of $3,500 for James B. Thomas, then a resident of Nevada, and who, with his family, after losing a son, and after losing an arm, escaped from the horrible massacre of Spirit Lake of March, 1857.
Mr. Thomas and his family were otherwise cruelly treated before escaping. They had to travel some distance through snow nearly waist deep, as claimed by Mr. T., before reaching a place of any safety. His condition deserved special aid; and by Mr. Dana's efforts, and other friends, he secured for Mr. Thomas the above relief. Mr. Dana was a worker in the Legislature. The writer hereof was acquainted with Mr. Thomas, and believed him a worthy man.
DR. STITZELL, OF NEVADA.
Dr. George Stitzell is a pensioner, and draws $12.75 per month.
COL. L. Q. HOGGATT, OF AMES.
Col. Hoggatt has secured a pension under the Mexican Pension bill, for $8 per month. He with others ought to have been pen- sioned years ago. Justice is often slow to reach the deserving. He may yet fare better.

MRS. MARY BENNAMAN-IS SHE A SISTER OF COMMODORE O. H. PERRY?
Mary Perry was her maiden name, and she was the daughter of William Perry. She was born in Chester County, Delaware, March 15, 1773. At the age of thirty-five she married Wm. Coulter. He died when she was fifty-two. She afterwards married Mr. Ben- · naman. Her son Peter Coulter says: "The celebration of the birth-day of Mrs. Mary Bennaman, of Russiaville, Indiana, was an unique affair. It was also the birth-day of her son Peter. Three hundred citizens, headed by a brass band of music marched to the house where she was then staying." Mrs. Bennaman has been a resident of Ames or the vicinity for a number of years. At this time she is living with her daughter, Mrs. Black, of Ames. Mrs. Black is a widowed lady herself. It has been said Mrs. Benna- man was a sister of Commodore O. H. Perry, who, after three hours desperate fighting on Lake Erie, September 10, 1813, de- feated the British and then wrote briefly and definitely to General Harrison the result. He said: "Dear General, we have met the enemy and they are ours. Truly O. H. Perry." Mrs. Black does the talking when information is sought, and says her mother (Mrs. Bennaman) is no relation to Commodore Perry so far as she knows. There was a letter, years ago, written by a sister of the Commodore's to Mrs. Bennaman, making inquiry as to rela- tionship but no relationship was ascertained. Mrs. Bennaman has but few, if any, her seniors in Iowa. Just think of it! A citizen of Story County was born three years before the "Declaration of American Independence" was made, and is still living! She is 114 years old and past.
