Death of Mrs.

Weaver.

On Friday evening, shortly after 6 o’clock, Mrs. Weaver, wife of Col. James Riley Weaver, of DePauw University, died at Beechcroft, her late residence, in this city, from the effects of a surgical operation performed on that day. Her death was a shock to the community, as but few of our people knew that Mrs. Weaver was afflicted, or that she had undergone a surgical operation. Some months ago she was attacked with cancer of the breast; Dr. Dunning, of Indianapolis, was called here to perform the operation necessary for its removal, and with the assistance of Drs. Lammers and Evans, of this city, the operation was performed. She recovered from the effects of the operation nicely and speedily. Recently the malignant growth again developed, and it spread with such rapidity that a second operation was deemed necessary to prevent early death as a result of t he malignant growth. The second operation was performed on Friday morning, as before stated by the same surgeons. The ravages of the caucer were so widespread that the last operation necessarilly took a much wilier range than the first, and the shock was so great that the patient never rallied from it-everything possible was done for her relief, but all without avail, and in a few hours she passed from time to eternity. Deceased wac an estimable Christian lady, with a wide circle of friends who respected her highly and loved her dearly because of* her brightness, amiability and goodness

of heart.

In the home she was the idol of husband and children, and their loss is irreparable this side of the grave— their home is bereft of its chiofest

Putnam County Historical Society. The historical society met Tuesday evening in the G. A. R. hall. The venerable president being absent Mrs. J. Birch presided over the meeting. Mrs. Louis Steeg and Miss Helen Hathaway furnished the music. Several excelleht papers were presented by various ladies, among them a paper written by Alexander S. Farrow, read by Mrs. Bryan. Mr. Farrow became a citizen of Putnam county in 1830, and brought the first blue grass I seed sowed in Putnam county, with him. Mrs. Birch read a paper written by Mrs. Mary L. Allison, giving the experience of the writer in the early days of Indiana. Mrs. Hammond’s paper upon the pioneer women of our county was especially interesting. During the discussion which followed the paoers, tlie fact was brought out that Thomas Jackson, who was married here in 1822, and who is still living, is the longest resident of Putnam county. The New Athletic Park. The DePauw Athletic Association, has purchased the four acre track of land lying immediately south of the old cemetery, knd are procresHing rapidly in grading the ground for the new athletic park. Fifteen teams are employed each day and the somewhat rolling surface is very rapidly becoming even. An athletic park is what the students of DePauw University have needed for many years. It will be the means of encouraging atidotics and legitimate athletics with the students. It will afford a foundation upon which to constantly excite athletic interests. It will provide a place for effecient training of athletic aspirants and an opportunity of exercise for all students. When a hath house has been built and the track, diamond and gridiron completed, Greencastle may feel that she has something to be proud of. It already speaks well for our citizens that they have taken so much interest in the new enterprise. Three of our best business men have accepted positions on the board of directors of the Athletic Association, and that assures us that the business welfare of our city v»-',11 ho carefully guarded. Wo arc glad to see the students and citizens unite iu the cause of mutual welfare. The new park will be in the hands of the citizen members of the board of directors in the summer and will be open for all games between the Greencastle nine and other crack teams of the state. It will be a splendid place for fourth of July meeting for picnics and old settlers reunions. The park, the result of the combined efforts of students, faculty and citizeus is a long delayed need. It is hoped that all interested in Greencastle affairs will lend their financial and moral support to the new project.
