lIIOT I rrilf I rrT Of nobby Suits and Overcoats uUO I H IL VI LH I all at Wholesale Prices to close. C. EARL DUVALL EtjcclU'si'Ve Clothier, Furnisher and Hatter

Mrs. Taylor, a sister of Mr. Mannan, who lives in Muncie, was the only distant relatives that could get here in time for the funeral of Mrs. J. W. Mannan. The wheat on the high land has suffered more from the recent freeze than from the ice and snow, and should this continue there will be a shortage in the wheat yield in this part of the county. The remains of a young ’man by the name of Connor, whose father lives at or near Dembtte, was takeu off the train at Wheatfleld Wednesday morning. He had been at work in the oil fields in Ohio and was accidently killed by some part of the derrick falling upon him, causing his death. The funeral was held at Wheatfleld where his parents formerly lived.

Monday night while on his' way home, and one mile west of Tefft, Alonzo Gross met with an accident which, will cause his death. He had been helping Ed Hight shred corn, and when ,/the machine moved to the Fitzgerald farm about 2 p. m., Lon was not needed there and went down to the Burrows Camp, it is said, and after loading up, as we are informed, with the Joy that kills he started for home, 1 miles west of Tefft. When about 100 feet west of the first mile crossing he evidently sat down near the railroad track and went to sleep. About 9 o’clock a freight came along, and it is supposed the noise roused him and he raised his head and was struck in the center of the forehead by the boxings or bolts of the cars, crushing the skull and exposing the brain. He was found by Othias Gross who was working at Fitzger- t aid’s that day, as he was on his way | home after the day’s work was done. He passed Don in the dark. When a | few feet beyond he heard someone groan and went back and saw a body lying near the rails. He struck a match and saw it was Lon. The injured man was taken home and Dr. Bolt was called and dressed the wounds, but said he had no chance for recovery. The unfortunate mau was alive Wednesday eve. He has a wife and children and other relatives here. Now, you better class of citizens, what do you think of a business that makes widows and orphans? Don’t you feel good when you grace such places with your presence, taking your children there every Sunday, approving by your actions tne business that has caused more heartaches than any other business on earth f While this case does not concern you, perhaps, ,but should it continue to exist Its effects may come closer home some of these days. Porter county should be proud to have within her borders a resort that >, Is a disgrace to decent society. It should be proud that It

Is able to gain a few dollars from a license fee and saddle the greater part of the disgrace and effects on an adjoining county. It would seem as though there should be enough temperance energy and respect for an adjoining county to blot out 'Such places, or are they satisfied so long as Jateper county furnishes the victims and they get the license fee? The life’s work of Mrs. John W. Mannan was ended on the night of Feb. 3rd, when the angel of death came and said, “Well done, good and faithful servant; come up higher and receive thy reward.” The funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. H. Clarke of Rensselaer, assisted by Albert Keen as undertaker. The services were held at the M. E. church at Tefft, from which place the remains were taken to San Pierre for burial. She had been in poor health for several years and for the past two years was not able to be out much of the time, but was at all times cheerful and pleased to have her friends come, which included both old and young. She will be greatly missed by her friends who always sympathized with her in her affliction. The family have many to mourn with them in the loss of their loved one. Her obituary follows: Margaret Emily Foxworthy was born August 12, 1838, in Morgan oounlty, Ind.; died Feb. 3, 1910, at her homb in this township. She was the fifth child of a family of thirteen children. She was united in marriage to John W. Mannan Feb. 25, 1869, and March 11th of the same year they came to Jasper county and located in Kankakee tp., I on the farm which became her home j during her life. She was the mother of four children, three of whom I survive her, Robert A., who lives in Wheatfleld, Anna Cooper of Porter county, and Emma Ocker of Medaryville. She united with the Christian church at an early age and was a true and consistent Christian. Her life proved her to be faithful to her family, obliging to her neighbors, true to her church and her God.

A SAFEGUARD TO CHILDREN. “Our two children of six and eight years have been since Infancy subject to colds and croup. About thiree years l ago I started to use Foley’s Honey and Tar, and it has never failed to prevent and cure these troubles. It Is the only medicine I can get the children to take without a. row.” The above from W. C. Ornstein, Green Bay, Wls., duplicates the experience of thousands of other users of Foley’s Honey and Tar. It cures coughs, colds, and croup, and prevents bronchitis and pneumonia. A. F. Long. ButwenM far Ths Demoerat.
