: earthly cares extending over a period of fonr score and five years, but resultant t oa severe stroke of paralysis, Mrs. Frances, widow of thd late W. P .Rice .passed into eternity Sunday afternoon at 1:15 o’clock as1 ter enduring suffering attendant to { the excruciating ailftient for some time. For four months the condii tlen of the aged woman has been I such that she was unable to leave the home of her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Wherry and during the past seven weeks she has been confined to her bed, from which she was doomed never to rise. It has been known for I several weeks that death was the inevitable and consequently no surprise has been caused among the innumerable ' friends of the deceased. The late husband of the departed woman died nine years ago last September leaving her and eight children to mourn the loss of a loving father and devoted husband and since that time she has made her home with the chllIdren, going from the home of one to the other. MTs. Rice was in perfect health and gave every evidence of an unusually long life until the Inception | of the paralytic stroke. She was born I in Virginia in 1823 and when but nine years of age, went with her parents I to Carroll county .Ohio, and in 1837 she came to Allen county for abode. Her parents were Joseph and Hannah Rabbitt, the former a native of Mary- • land and the latter of Virginia. The father died in this county at the age of seventy-one years and the mother died the same year. To partake of the bitterness of grief which comes i the demise of the estimable I woman are eight children as follows: * Mesdames Elizabeth Wherry, Perry ■ Robison, Jeff Bryson, W. R. Smith and ' Messrs. Joseph and James B. Rice of this county and Mrs. Diggs of Marion ’ and Ferd Rice of Hammond. The deceased was a woman of many good qualities. She was naturally cheerful and ever willing to lend her assistance to the, cause of right Though past eighty years of age, she possessed a wonderful vitality until stricken hy paralysis. The acquaintanceship of Mrs. Rice extended over a vast territory, and to all who knew her she was considered a valuable friend. The funeral services were held from the M. E. church Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, Rev. Wilcox officiating. — — o A number of Adams county people are preparing to leave March sixteenth for an extended trip through Texas and Oklahoma and several of the party will buy land and remain in the sunny south. The gentlemen ■ will enjoy a twenty-five day trip during which tinie they will Journey through the very best farming district in the south. Among thoes who will go are Messrs. Fred Colchin, Arthur Fisher, A. Appleman, Peter Dodane and Ed and Thomas Colchin. Most of these men will buy land and Fred Colchin and Ed Colchin will remain in Texas. They will purchase land near Galveston, which is but fifteen miles from the Gulf where they expect to stay. There are said to be rare opportunities in Texas and if this is true many pecatur and Adams county people enjoy the prosperity as there is a goodly representation of them in the Lone Star state. Mr, Dodane will have charge of the excursion and he will show the land to the prospective buyers. Robert Schrock will spend next summer in Alaska. He has joined a ' crowd ,of fellow students at Cornell and with them will go to that northern country for scientific research. He has been for two years at Cornell, where he has 'Studied medicine and assisted the professor of science and anatomy. It has been eight years since he graduated from the high school. Two years ago he received ‘ a degree of A. B. at Wabash college. For two more years he stayed in Crawfordsville, teaching in the high school Latin and German. He had a splendid record as a teacher. Mr. Sbrock has a bright future before him. 1 He desires to become better educated for his work, as his further studies 1 at Harvard or Yale in the future tes- ] tify. His friends in Decatur predict 1 that his career will be most success- 1 ful. ' ——l . . i HE SELECTS A POLICE BOARD 1 . t ' Muncie, Ind., March B.—Mayor L. ! A.

Washington, March B.—There are two propositions which the politicians of Indiana may as well make upthetr minds to accept One Is that Indiana will get very few positions of importance under the new national administration. The other proposition is that Indiana will lose a large number of the positions she now holds in the federal service. So far as acquiring new places is concerned and holding those she now has, Indiana’s influence is almost nil. This is due to the fact that under all the known rules of the political game Indiana is entitled to nothing, and although the layman may not know it, the .political and patronage game is played according to well-known and fixed rules. o BOUGHT TIMBER IN SOUTH D. A. Walmer, of Bluffton, Home from Trip to the South. D. A. Walmer is home from a trip to points in the south in company With D. L. Adams of Portland, in the course of which they visited Hot Springs, Little Rpck, and other points ir Arkansas, and closed a deal which Was the chief object of their trip. By the deal made by them they purchased all of the timber on a tract of 4,400 acres of land in the Red River Valley, oh which there is about 20,000,000 fret of saw timber, comprising about one-half oak, and the balance in hickory, ash, elm and gum. They have a sawmill now in operation on the tract of land, which is situated about one-half mile from a railroad, but they have their own private tramway leading to the railroad tracks.—Bluffton News. 1 11 —- o — A PATENT FENCE POST Ncah Beberstlne, of Geneva, Has One of the Best Ever on the MarketNoah Beberstine, of Geneva, was 'in the city Monday and was exhibiting a patent fence post that has all the ap- i pearance of being a dandy, and one i that will prove a favorite with the 1 farmers.
