Mrs. Jackson, whose maiden name
was Walker, was born In Muskingum
county, Ohio, April 4, 1844 and was
united in marriage to Mr. Jackson, a
native of the same county, December
24, 1863. They came to Iowa in 1868,
settling on a farm a few miles south of
Ottumwa and removing to Ottumwa in
1893.
Mrs. Jackson's death occurred un
expectedly after a short illness of
about thirty-six hours. In addition to
the husband and four sons Mrs. Jack
son-is survived by several grand chil
dren and a large circle of intimate
friends who are left to mourn her de
parture. The children are Sheriff W.
W. Jackson, J. F. Jackson and Levi
Jackson of Ottumwa and A. M. Jack
son of Peoria, 111. She also left three
sisters and four brothers, all residing
in Ohio except one brother, who lives
in Missouri.
Mrs. Jackson united with the
Baptist church when a girl of fifteen
years of age. After removing to Iowa
she with her husband united with the
pleasant Home Methodist Protestant
church eight miles south of this city
and after moving to Ottumwa their
membership was transferred to the
Methodist Protestant church here.
Mrs. Jackson died at the age of sixty
five years, her sixty-fifth birthday
being the Sunday before her death. In
their sad bereavement the family have
the sympathy of their host of friends.

BREAD EATERS
FEEL HARDSHIP
PRICE OF STAPLE ARTICLE AD­
VANCES—COMMON PEOPLE
WILL SUFFER.
Wheat juggling in the board-of
trade pits Is responsible for a wave
of uneasiness throughout the bakeries
of the land, and what is more serious
to the people, an unprecedented rise
in the price of bread and kindred pro
ducts of bake shops. In many cities
prices have already advanced astonish
ingly, but thanks to the foresight of
local flour dealers and bakery pro
prietors, there is a possibility that Ot
tumwans will get through the tight
place without experiencing any change
at all.
The feeling among local bakers is
(that the price of wheat can not be
held up for a very long period and
that within two or three months at the
otuside, the spasm will have worn
itself out and the market will again
assume normal proportions. There is
enough available flour in the city now
to run the bakeries for that period
without advancing the price of bread,
tiut in case the wheat market is still
soaring at the end of three months,,the
price of the present sized loaves will
either be advanced or the loaves will
be made smaller.
Dispatches from various sections of
the country report that conditions
elsewhere are much more startling
than here. In New York bread has ad
vanced to six cents a loaf and the.bak
ers cl^im that the margin of profit at
that p/rice is so small that they can
not run very long, twenty-two of 4uu
bakeries already having closed their
doors.
The Cincinnati bakers have protest
ed to congress against allowing gam
bling with the staples of life and have
asked for a measure prohibiting the
juggling with wheat.

SUMMER PROBLEMS.
Now that the days are graduall)
lengthening out, a vanguard to Ihe
long hot summer days, and many
homes are in the nettlesome disorder
and turmoil of housecleaning, that
disagreeable feeling'that the season ol
arduous household tasks must soon
begin again asserts Itself in manj
homes.
Business men who manage the larg
est establishments and who accom
plish the largest volume of work I11 .1
day's time, depend solely on a perfect
system about their work as an expe
dient. The logical thought that thif
same systom can and should be ap
plied to household duties is no ne^t
one, but few women attempt it.
In tomorrow's special women's page,
Wealtha A. Wilson presents busj
housewives with a solution of the
problem and writes the directions in
such a plain comprehensive style that
no reader can fail to be greatly as
