DEATH OF JUDGE WOODS.

The Distinguished Jurist Dies Suddenly Last Week In Ills Apartments.

Judge William A. Woods of the United States circuit court died suddenly Friday night while lying abed in his apartments at the Delano, iu Indianapolis. Death came a few seconds past midnight while his wife wua near his bedside.

The judge had not been feeling well during the early part of the evening, but, paying littie heed to the sickness, passed the matter lightly and prepared to retire. About midnight, however, he spoke to his wife and declared that sharp pains had seized him in the loft breast, in the chest and in the shoulders. He protested against her calling the attending physician, Dr. ITeury Jameson, who had been called in the day before, but again insisted that relief would soon come.

A moment later he again spoke to his wife, asking for something that was in the bath room adjoining the room. Mrs. Wood rose to procure whatever the judge had called for and left the room, returning from the bath room only a second later. When she approached the bed where her husband lay he was dead.

William Allen Woods was born May 16, 3837, near Farmington, Marshall county, Tenn. His ancestry, ScotchIrish on both sides, came from North Ireland about 1700 to western Pennsylvania, whence descendants went to Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and the other western states. His grandfathers were well-to-do farmers and influential slaveowners. His father, Allen Newton Woods, a student of theology and strongly opposed to slavery, died June 15, 1837, in his twenty-sixth year.

VOL. 54—NO. 27 CRAWFORDSVILLE. INDIANA, FRIDAY JULY 5. 1901-TWELVE PAGES PART SECOND

Attending only the local winter schools, his life was one of exacting toil, in field, forest, brick yard, saw mill, grist mill and village store, until in his sixteenth year he became a student, and later assistant teacher, in the Troy academy. He became chief of the lodge of Good Templars at Troy, and in the winter of 1854-55 helped organize, at Iowa City, and was elected an officer of the grand lodge of the order for that state. In September, 1S55, he matriculated at Wabash college, graduated with the class of 1850, and during the next year was tutor in that college. In 1860 he went to Marion, Ind., and was a teacher there until, upon the first battle of Bull Run, the school broke up. He enlisted, but an injured foot disabled him from the service. He was then admitted, in December. 1861. to the bar of the Grant circuit court, presided over by Judge Horace P. Biddle, and at that session of the court, as deputy prosecutor, conducted the criminal trials.

He then went to Goshen, Ind., and there, on March 17, 1862, opened a law office. For two years or more he had little to do. but read, but that he did assiduously, and thereafter had a good and increasing practice. In 1867 he was a member of the state legislature, and introduced and pushed to passage a number of measures, by one of which anew judicial circuit was established, of which the governor tendered him, but he declined, the appointment as judge. He also refused a renomination for election to the legislature, and later to be put forward for congress, though ffiie nomination was open to him and election reaeonbly sure. An earnest Republican, he was always active in campaign work in his own county, but seldom consented to speak elsewhere. In 1873 ho was elected judge of Thirty-fourth judical circut, composed of Elkhart and LaGrange counties, was re-elected without opposition in 1878, and continued in that office until January, 1881, when he took his seat upon the supreme bench, to which he had been elected in 1880, succeeding Judge Biddle. In May, 1883, being at the time chief justice of that court, he was appointed by President Arthur United States district judge for the district of Indiana, as successor to Judge Gresham.

He held that office until March 17, 1892 just thirty years from the opening of his law office in Goshen—when on the nomination of President Harrison he was confirmed and commissioned United States circuit judge for the Seventh circuit, under the act of congress creating the United States circuit court of appeals, of which court he is ex-officio a-judge, and by reason of being the oldest in commission of the circuit judges, Since the resignation of Judge Gresham he has been the presiding judge.

The work of Judge Woods on the supreme bench is preserved in the official reports, commencing with volume 73, and is well known to the profession. On the federal bench he

has dealt with many important ease?, some of which, like the tally sheet eases, the Dudley case, the world's fair Sunday opening ease and the Debs ease, have been the subjects of wide comment and discussion. In referring to the Deb? decision Justice Brewer in bis address before the Marquette club of Chicago in February, 1S0S, said:-

•The great strike of which this city was the historic center attests the wisdom of judicial interference. The peaceful ending of that strike is supreme attestation of the power of the American people to govern themselves. That honest and true-minded men were on both sidos of that controversy no sensible man doubts, and that it was settled judicially, and not by bayonets and bullets, is the glory of all. And here let me say in passing, that the hero of that struggle for the domination of the law was Circuit Judge William A. Woods, whoso name will be revered and honored through the coming ages, long after the memories of his critics and assailants shall have become, like the body of Lazarus, four days in the grave."

Three colleges, Asbury (DePauw) University, Hanover and Wabash, have conferred on him the degree of LL. D. On December 6. 1870, he married Miss Mata A. Newton, daughter of ex-Mayor Newton of Des Moines, la. They have two children. Alice Newton and Floyd Allen.

Judge Woods was a trustee of Wabash college and was earnestly devoted to the institution. He attended the meeting of the board two weeks ago last Tuesday, coming at a considerable inconvenience.

On Wednesday evening, June 26th, in the Christian church at Waynetown, Miss S. Etta Follick was married to Mr. J. Allen Buser, of New Market. The bride is a daughter of O. P. Follick, of Waynetown, and is a very estimable young lady and a popular teacher. The groom is a member of one of the most highly respected families of Montgomery county, and is a worthy young man. At the appointed hour, eight o'clock, the organist, Mrs. Wm. Doss, began the soft strains of Bridal Chorus march. Preceded by the flower children, Oka Wingert, niece of the bride, and Master Artie Braunbey, nephew of the groom, and unattended the bridal couple entered by the side aisles, meeting at the altar under a wedding bell of ferns and white ribbons. Rev. Brown, of Greencastle, with a very appropriate service, united the happy couple. The church was very prettily decorated with ferns, palms, roses, blooming plants and white ribbons. The many wedding presents were useful and pretty. A number at the relatives of both parties were in attendance.

The best wishes of tfho community follow them. An infair dinner was served by the groom's parents at their home near New Market on Thursday, June 27, and on the afternoon of the same day they went to Frankfort, their future home, where they will be at home to their friends at the Gregg hotel.

AN OBNOXIOUS GROWTH.

Weed That Is Worse Than Canadian Thistle Causing Trouble.

A weed that is worse than the Canadian thistle for its stubbornly prolific qualities has attracted a good deal of attention in the last few weeks in various parts of the state. It resembles sweet clover in appearance, but grows to the heighth of three or four feet. It was first noticed a couple of years ago, but little attention was paid to it then and it was allowed to scatter its seeds and now it is seen everywhere in that neighborhood, particularly along the road, drubbing it out by the roots seems to have but little effect on it and the plant in a few days after this operation may be seen agaim. It has attracted the attention of many people but no one seems to know what it is or whore it came from. It is considered already a great deal more of a nuisance than the Canadian thistle, against ^which the legislature passed laws several years ago. Unless systematic effort is made shortly to get rid of this weed some farmers are of the opinion that it will require years of hard work to drive it out, as it spreads rapidly and now has a good start.

A GREAT MAN'S IDEA. ENIUS, as Ruskin defines it, is simply a superior power of seeing. Have you the genius to see how important an element in the success of your house-keeping is the use of Ivory Soap? Judged by the work it does Ivory is the cheapest soap in America to-day. It is harmless. Embroideries, laces and delicate stuffs should be washed only with Ivory Soap.

Announcement Dinner,

Last Thursday at their homo on east Market street, Misses May and Anna Obaver very charmingly entertained a party of young ladies at a six o'clock course dinner. A happy feature of the occasion was the announcement of the engagement of one of the guests. At each cover was an autumn leaf, inscribed: Jennie B. Suman, Darrell V. Blair, "In Brown October Days." The affair was most pleasing and enjoyable, the Misses Ohaver entertaining in their well known delightful manner. Miss Dora Burton, of Henderson, Ky., was an out of town guest.

Of Interest ta Stockholders. Any stockholder in the different corporations that have been organized in this city who has given such stock in to the assessor, is asked to call on the board of review at the auditor's office and have such removed from the duplicate. All this stock will be assessed to the corporation, and if individuals returned their stock to the assessor it will simply mean a double taxation if it is not taken off the tax duplicate.

Henry Huckcry Hurt.

Henry Huckery, the fruit man living near Waynetown, while driving a horse and leading two mules, was dragged out of the buggy as he was going through a gate and his head striking a post he was rendered unconscious by the blow. He did not come too until thirty hours had elapsed a ad it, feared that he would not recover. He is better now and it is believed that he will pull through all right.

Will Wear Shirt Waists.

Several of the mall carriers at the postoffice have purchased the regulation government shirt waist. They are a dark steel blue and very comfortable.

Bates House Sold for $700. Indianapolis Journal'. Word has been received by the men interested in the Bates house that the building was sold yesterday by George B. Swift & Son, the contractors, in Chicago. It is understood the purchase price was $700. It seems a bit strange, at first, that such a large building should be sold for that sum of money, but tilhe contract with the company that bought the building carries with it a great deal more than the mere transfer of the building. The purchaser is a "wrecking company," and before it sells the building and gets its profit, it must pull it to pieces and carry away the material.

Officers Elected.

The Knights of Pythias, at their meeting last Thursday, elected the following oflicors for the ensuing six months:

C. C.—O. C. Jarvis. V. C.—Clint Crane. M. of W.—Loo Schweitzer. Prel.—Walter Haney. K. of R. S.—Chas. W. Buck. M. of F.—R. C. Smith. M. of E.—Geo. W. Johnson. M. at A.—Frank Elmore. I. G.—Noah Myers. O. G.—M. S. Smith.

Mall Ordered Held.

The government has ordered the mail for the 14th, 18th, and 23d infantry and the 4 th cavalry held at San Francisco, and this is supposed to mean that these soldiers will be ordered home soon. Chas. Herron, of this city, is a lieutenant in the 18th infantry, and is at present in Japan.

Painted the Flagstaff.

The workmen engaged in painting tho court house struck a snag when it came to painting the flagstaff as none of them wished, to climb the frail pole. Finally one of the painters last week rigged up a brush on the end of along pole and sitting astride the small dome at the base of tho staff, proceeded to paint at long range.

Will Move to Lafayette.
