Tiedeman, an old and respected a of northeast of Hull, died ast Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock and was hurried Wednesday of this An obituary is given below. The Indc-x wishes to extend its sincere sympathy to the bereaved family, OBITUARY Berend Tiedeman was born the 18th of May 1842 at Newendeich, Havover, Germany and soon a his birth was received into the holy Kingdom of Got! by baptism. On the 20th day of March 1856, at Geversdorf, he was confirmed in the Evangelical Lutheran church and thereby, after having confessed his holy faith he was received as a full member of that church. Forty years ago, he was united in holy matrimony, i Miss Anna Rehm. They had seven children, 3 sons and 4 daughters, of whom one daughter died in infancy.

About 32 years ago, the deceased, with his family, came to America, to Sheridan township, Sioux county, Iowa. They first lived in the neighborhood of Boyden for a year, then they purchased the home farm, about 8 miles east of Hull, on which they lived for 23 years. During the last a i a er Tiedeman and his family lived at the home which he built near St. Paul's Lutheran church, about 4 miles northeast of Hull, after most of his children had made homes of their own. Fourteen years ago, he and his i visited again with relatives and friends in the old country, the fatherland.

Mr. Berend Tiedemann had been, president of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran congregation, longer than any of his predecessors. He has with great zeal tried to fulfill the duties of his office, and the congregation is in debted to thankfulness arid gratitudt towards him for hia many true services. Father Tiedeman, during the; long course of his life, always enjoyed exceptionally good health, a great i oi the gracious God.

But at the time ol his lust birthday, May 19, he began to complain about the effects of a heavj cold. The wett cimbUlUd could do little to relieve hjt sometimes a puins in the bladder and surroundings. He grew worst very rapidly, but, after having received the Lord's Supper in the morning. In- very calmly and peacefully, under thi- prdyera of bis church, passed away in the afternoon of last Saturday, aged 73 years and 17 days.

May rest in peace and the eternal light shine unto him. On the 9th of June, last Wednesday, his mortal body was Srft aside at the beautiful cemetery of St. Paul's eran congregation, near his home, after impressive services having been held at the home, the and the grave, Rev.

One effect of the present situation is very noticeable heJe. That the very rapid spread of the feeling that the nation must have a larger more effective navy.

The question of providing a moie comprehensive plan of naval development is already looked jpon as certain to come in for thorough discussion and also for action when the Sixty-fourth Congress assembles. It is not believed that the objection of lack of will again be allowed to stand in the way of a more vigorous naval policy. It is pointed out that a country with the wealth and resources of the United States will have no difficulty in providing for adequate sea protection once the public the need of it. A government official called attention this week, for example, to the fact that the tariff revenue from sugar which ia scheduled to be dropped next May, amounts to $50,000,000 a year and in the past years has brought a billion dollars into the Treasury. By retaining this revenue the country would be able to every year four or five of the latest typo of battleships besides seven or eight KCOIU cruisr-rs and marines.

Such a program, he shows, would soon make the American a erjuai to the in the world. Whether or not this exact plan is adopted it seems certain the dresent temper of tin; public as reflected here in Washington that more serious attention than hereto fore i be paid to developing the naval arm of the national de- fence-.

The Bank Fund The row between the United a i a officials and the Riggs Nation Hank has been the big thing of interest in Washington i the week.

He saya that "this war will make it necessary for the United Statea to take the lead in the commerce civilization and education of the world." Dr. Claxton says that one of the drawbacks being fantened upon thiH country is the so-cniled 'exclusive society," and he advises the young pie of the United States to use their influence in improving aeciety they are in. and to work to improve poorer homes.
