Des Moines, Aug. 26.—Senator Al

for adequate regulation of railroad
Fate*, which he has embodied in a bill
to be offered in the Senate when Con

"I .express no opinion with regard to
the soundness of the decision of the

"I have prepared and Intend to In

"The bill provides that on or before

then take them up and after notice

Corydon, Aug. 26.—(Special.)—The
Allerton chautauqua after ten days of
entertainment and instruction, has
closed. Attorney-H. B. Pracewfll, the
secretary Is receiving praise on all
Ides for hl3 able management. Aller

The chief attraction this year was

a few minutes to the prerent tariff Is

ably received especially when he at
tacked the Republican party and the
Payne hill. He lauded Senators Dolll

Democrats and a? he said adopting the
Democratic view of theaSltuation.
Mrs. La Sallo Corbell Pickett closed
the session today. An enormous crowd
listened to her story. All of the old

MRS. CULLEN
IS CALLED TO
HER REWARD
N O E O W A W O A N
WHOSE LIFE WAS DEVOTED TO
BRIGHTENING OTHERS' LIVES,
DIES AT ADVANCED AGE.
RESIDED HERE FOR
OVERHALFCENTURY
NO DEATH IN OTTUMWA FOR
YEARS WILL CAUSE SUCH
WIDESPREAD SORROW AS THE
PASSING OF THIS KINDLY SOUL
Surrounded when death came by
those of her children who wej-e able
to be with her and whose devotion
to their aged parent has been most
striking, given all the attention and
aid that, medical science could giv.?,
and fully prepared to meet her eter
nal reward for a life that was full of
good works and of sunshine, Mrs.
Sarah (Jullen breathed her last this
morning at 6:45 o'clock and a kindly
soul winged its flight to the bosom of
its maker. Thus dosed a life that
was lived for the happiness of others
and earned for Its earthly monument
the well deserved memorv of a good
and devoted mother, kind and faith-,
ful friend.
Universally Loved.
The death of Mrs. Cullen removes
not only an aged and verv highly es
teemed woman, but also one who was
pioneer in Ottumwa. whose resi
dence here covered more than half a
century and who during that time
had nei er known an enemy. Her espe
cially sunny disposition "and klndiv
nature made her a friend of all who
came within the influence of her lov
able and motherly character. Manv
of those in the neighborhood and else
where who are no longer little lads
and lasses, but, whose younger days
were spent in the vicinity of the Cul
len home. 332 North Marion street,
instinctively felt her as a grandmother
to tliem and loved her as a near and
dear relative. An evidence of this
is seen in the sadness with which
they have received the news of this
good woman's death.
Here Over Half Century.
Mrs. Sarah Cullen was born in the
county of Galway, in Ireland, some 84
years ago, and came to America when
a girl of eighteen vears with an
aunt, landing in and settling for a
time iq Boston. It was in the metrop
olis of the New England States that
she was married to the late .Tames
Cullen in 1851. Shortly after their
marriage Mr. and Mrs. Cullen came
west, to Ottumwa and for more than
half a century have made this city
the home of the, family. Mr. Cullen
preceded his wife in death twenty-one
years ago.
A
Noble Woman.
Since the death of her husband,
this brave and cheerful Christian
woman continued to live.in the city
and her sorrows which the death of
husband, a daughter and two sons
brought her, were never allowed lo
stand in the .. way of consolation and
assistance to others in affliction. Sor
rows that would weaken one less
strong in Christian fortitude, seemed
to have hi.it sweetened her disposition
and none saw her when she was un
able to smile and v-ffer cheer to oth
ers depressed in spirit. Her unusual
ly thoughtful nature so. endeared her
to others that although well ad
vanced In years and unable to be
about but little for a long time past,
she will be and is missed by many
who were wont to call on her for the
pleasure her presence shed upon
others.
Injured by a fall over a year ago.
Mrs. Cullfen began to show the ad
vance of age on one -whose face ever
looked young. Recovering from this
she at times began to feel the effects
of her advanced years, but her in
domitable courage would not permit
her to give up for any length of time.
Something more than a month ag J,
however, the heart that ever beat for
others began to fail in its energetic
work and gradually the end drew
nearer Medical skill was not spar
ing in its endeavor to arrest the en
croachment of her maladv and after
all that was possible to do had been
done, her soul passed to the care of
its maker at the residence at 6:45
o'clock this morning.
Surviving the death of their mother
are three (daughters and two sons,
Mrs. Agnes Quinlan of Cleveland, O..
Mrs. Sadie C. Barton of S. C. Cullen
& Co. Miss Nellie Cullen, James .1.
Cullen and Frank Cullen.
The funeral will be held Saturdav
from the Cullen residence, 332 North
Marion street to St. Mary's Catholic
church of which the decedent was a

Signal Corps Officers
Watch Wellman's Effort
Washington Bureau of
The Ottumwa Courier,
Washington, D. C., Aug. 26.
Signal corps officers who have been
reading all of the dispatches relating
to Walter Wellman's failure'to get
fairly started on his journey toward
the north pole are making the predic
tion that if the pole is discovered by
means of a dirigible it will be be
cause of rare good luck.
The prevalence of high winds at
Spitzbergen, and from that point
northward, is looked upon by the avi
ators of the war department as an ob
stacle difficult to overcome with a dir
igible balloon. These officers have
done considerable experimenting with
the dirigible which was purchased
from Captain Thomas Baldwin last
summer. They have flown here in
calm weather an on days when half a
gale was blowing. Their experience in
rough weather has taught them that
the dirigible will be useful only so
long as the atmospheric conditions re
main favorable. These army officers
do not believe that Count Zeppelin,
with all of his experience, would
stand any better chance of reaching
the pole than Wellman.
Lieutenant Benjamin P. Fulois of
the signal corps, who has had experi
ence in free balloons, dirigibles and
aeroplanes, today expressed the opin
ion that the high winds in the vicin
ity of the north pole make it practi
cally impossible for a dirigible to
maintain its headway there. He be
lieved that an aeroplane would stand
a much better chance of reaching the
long sought for goal.
"It has been my experience," said
Lieutenant Fulois, "that a dirigible
becomes less efficient as the wind
increases. I have no intimate knowl
edge of the atmospheric conditions
prevailing at Spitzbergen, but from
what I have read I gather that there
is always a high wind and that,
therefore, the conditions are seldom
or never favorable for a dash for the
pole in a dirigible. It is my theory
that if the resistance of the wind
could be overcome the problem would
he solved, for I do not agree that
there would be motor trouble or con
densation of the gas any more than
would he expected elsewhere, provid
ed, of course, that the proper precau
tions regarding temperature were
taken when the bag was filled."
