OBITUARY OF U. H. COTTINGHAM

Ufiorus H. Cottingham was born November 2, 1846; departed this life life January 11,' 1917. He was the youngest child of a family of twelve. His father, mother, sisters and one brother all preceded him to the world beyond. Only one sister, Mrs. Fred Denning of Brookston is left out of this large family. His boyhood days were spent in the vicinity of Brookston and Remington. At I'B years of age he joined the army, the 151st regiment, Co. G, to give his life for his country if need be. : April 1, 1877, he was united in marriage to Fannie Nelson of Brookston. When after six years of marriage no children came to bless their home, they took into their home and hearts two children, Walter McConnell of Fair Oaks and his sister, Mrs. M. B. Fyfe of Wheatfield, and surely thgy ’were blessed in this for they, with Dr. Fyfe wefe devoted to him through all the seven months of his sickness and suffering. In 1891 a son was born to them. ■William Cottingham, now of Momence, Illinois. Mr. Cottingham was a fond, indulgent father and his children feel his loss deeply, knowing one who loved them dearly is now with his father and family in the spirit world. Mr." Cot the infirmities of old age kept him indoors, was a great lover of outdoor life and spent the happiest hours of his life with his gun and dog roaming the fields and marshes for wild game and he never came in empty handed, for he knew the haunts and habits of wild game well and was a splendid .marksman.

He was 71 years old and for seven months had been a patient sufferer from Bright’s disease. His son, William, and wife helped care for him during three months of his illness and were very tender with him. His wife and her niece, Catherine, were’ constantly with him. xHe told his wife a few weeks ago that the time had come to leave this world and that he had no fear but was ready to go. Mr. Cottingham leaves a wife, the three children mentioned, six granxichildren, one sister, several nieces and nephews and a host of friends to mourn his departure from this life. xx

MB PASSAGE OF PROHIBITION BILL

House of Representatives Adopts Committee Report. * i ~~ ~ ■ '• * FEW AMENDMENTS ARE MADE One Would Permit Wholesale Druggists to Sell Liquor to Licensed r Pharmacists —Date When Law Would Apply Changed. Indianapolis, Jan. 19. —By unanimous vote the house of representatives adopted the committee report faforing the passage of the state-wide prohibition bill. The committee .made a few amendments, one of which would perihit wholesale druggists to sell •liquor to licensed .pharmacists. This was n<>t contained in the Original hilt Another amendment would' allow any person to have on hand t\t the time the qct would take effect not more than one gallon of < ■whisky ami twelve qliarts of . bt-er. Tlie date on which the act will take effect was changed by the committee from September 1, 1917, to January 1. 191 s. The fact that the report of the committee Was adopted unanimously by the house gave the prohibition advocates considerable encouragement.

WilliamJ. Bryan addressed the senate at Ip-ibi today. He came to the city to speak to a state-wide meeting of dry Democrats and the senate invited him to address that body. Much ’of his address was devoted to prohibition and to the constitutional convention idea. Senator Frank Gentry of Monroe county took a large party of legislators to Bloomington this afternoon to attend the Founders' day celebration at Indiana university. The house passed the bill ■ unanimously to appropriate $7,000 for the state care of David Byers, the leper at Fort Branch, thus, relieving the township of the care of Byers. Robert C. Baltzell of Princeton, Republican state committeeman, and other party leaders of the First district began to bombard influential party members and state legislators with telegrams protesting against the passage of the Lanz congressional reappor’tionment bill, which would put Knox county in the First district and attarfl Spencer county, now in the First district, to the Third district. The Republicans of the First district urge that the addition of Knox county would make the First district “hopelessly Democratic.” Ninety-Six citizens of Indianapolis presented a petition in the house protesting against the bril changing the date of the city primary election from March to May. They asked for a public hearing. , A bill amending the law governing ■workmen’s compensation likely will be presAted to the legislature. .The bill is one of the two authorized by the meeting of the Indiana Federation of Labor at its last meeting in Logansport. The other bill is what likely will be known as the anti-injunction bill.

Tbe amendment bill provides that the fate of compensation during disability shall be 65 per cent of the wage instead of 55 per cent, as the present law provides. The waiting time after which compensation shall be paid is fixed at seven days instead of fourteen days, as the present law provides. Charles Fox, president of'the Indiana Federation of Labor, stated last night that statistics for the past year showed that 82 pwr cent of the accidents in the statq did not come within the provisions of the present. law because of the long period of ’waiting time. Then anti-injunction bill is designed to prevent labor unions being enjoiriNl from striking without a full inves't igation. It is not ready Tor presentation, but will be iii shape shortly. Union labor also is backing tire mother’s p'ensioii bill. This bill still is in the formulative stage. -

Opponents of the state highway commission bill say the bill confers too much power upon the state body. One of the amendments under consideration in committee provides that assistant engineers ami inspectors shall be employed from the counties through which a state road is built. It is understood also that the committee is inclined to confer upon the state commission a large part of the power vested by the original bill in the state highway engineer. Another proposal discussed by the committee would limit the.power oFthe commission to contract for state roads by requiring that the commission shall act jointly with county commissioners in letting contracts. ~

Dry force's are taking encouragement out of reports' concerning the probable vote on prohibition in both branches. It that a canvass made by a group of legislators shows that at least 29 votes will be registered in favor/of a prohibitory statute in the senate. According to this count 17 ” Republicans and 12 Democrats are committed to the state- “ wide bill. In the house "the count shows that about 70 members are favorable to prohibition, and it is expected that this number will be increased on the day of the vote by a group of men now classed as doubtful ' , ' ” ' , V- • - •'

WHERE MUSIC IS SUPREME

Elevated Above the Other Arts Because It Is the Most Detached of Them AH. • The strength of every art lies chiefly inr the completeness of its detachment i f rom reality. Sculpture does'not gain t by being realistic, picturesque, or decorative; on the contrary it is at Its highest when it is ideql, detached and superhuman. Painting does* not gain by being categorical, but is greatest when it seeks something beyond the outward, physical view. The novel or the essay depends for its greatness on its power of relating real persons, things, and pleas to that greater and 1 deeper reality of which they are a part. In this sense music stands supreme above the other arts because i t is the most detached; The elements i of thought and Reeling and action are, in music, presented as elements. The thought is not thought even in the abstract, for it is not “about” anything; the feeling is not actual feeling and the action is not real action. Each of these properties, or states, of the human beings is expressed in its essence, detached from all actual manifestation. None but the highest tj’pe of mind, none but a heart full of deep human sympathy, none but a vigorous, militant spirit, could have conceived and brought forth such compositions, for example, as the third and ninth symphonies of Beethoven; yet they are nothing but sound —neither the intelligence, nor the feeling, nor the action is real. —Thomas W. Surette, in the Atlantic.

BUT HE BAGGED THE RABBIT

Hunter Almost Got Pedestrian at the Time That He Secured His Small Prey. “Hey there; excuse me, I didn’t see yon until after I pulled the trigger, but I guess you are not hurt much,” came an excited voice from gome brush at the side of the track and at the same time the hunter emerged. James Jones, young man, to whom the apology was extended, began an inventory of his person to see whether he was shot, and he found that he was only slightly wounded. Jones was walking peacefully along the switch track of the. Pennsylvania lines, hear Hartford City, leading through a clump of brush. He was startled when a rabbit jumped out in front of him, fairly on his feet. Al the same time there was a report of firearms —and bunny turned his toes upward while Jones fell z over backward.. , “Ftnnl been following that rabbit for some distance and I was bound that I was going to get him —and I did,” said the hunter. “But say, old man. I’m sorry if you’re hurt. I didn’t see you at all until after I pulled the trigger.” —lndianapolis News.

Precocious Infant.

Two proud fathers of babie§ about the same age were having a boasting contest in the city train the other morning. “Can your baby talk yet?” Jones asked. . ■ . _■ “No not much,” Btown admitted. “Can yojirs?” “Oh, yes; talks like anything,” Jones replied, confidently. “Yours is walking about now, I suppose?” “No, he hasn’t begun to walk yet,” said Brown. “Not yet!” Jones exclaimed. “Why, he’s older than mine, and mine is toddling about.” Brown was beginning to get exasperated. “By the way,” he asked casually,' “does yours us?e a safety razor or one of the ordinary ones?” —New York Globe.

Tricks in All Trades.

“Have you ever had any experience in handling high-class ware?” asked a dealer in bric-a-brac of an applicant for work. “No, sir,” was the reply, “but I think I can do it.” “Suppose,” said the dealer, “you accidentally broke a very valuable porcelain vase, what would you do?” “I should put it carefully together,” replied the man, “and set it where a wealthy customer would be sure to knock it over again.” “Consider yourself engaged,” said the dealer. “Now, tell me where you learned that trick of the trade.” “A few years ago,” answered the other, “I was one of the ‘wealthy customer’ Class.’’—Tit-Bits. , • 5

Always With Good Companions.

We know a man who always carries in his pocket a book written by Emerson, Marcus Aurelius, Carlyle or some other giant intellect who in times past scattered broadcast the blossoms of his thought that future generations, might inhale their fragrance. In this age of hurry and feverish achievement, when men seem to have little time for sober reflection, it is good to he able to summon, at will, «.such blessed companions to one’s presence. —Los Angeles Times.

The Wild Turkey.

When white men first came to America they found Indians, corn, tobacco and Turkeys—all wild. The turkeys in the forests of Maine and westward as" far as Nebraska and southward to the lower parts of Mexico. Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo, the Spanish historian, who wrote many books about the West Indies, printed & description of the wild turkey at Toledo in the year 1527. He had segn the males in the mating seasoq/apd supposed they were peadocks.

FEATURED FACTS

Divorce pulls' the feathers from the wings of love. Gold is generally at . a premium when a dentist handles it. If wishes were automobiles, beggars might kick for airships. Even the summer girl doesn’t trifle with a millionaire’s heart. Some men brag about their wives "as if they wanted to sell them. ■ No, Cordelia, it Ssn’t the proper thing to eat prunes with a pruning knife. .Many a man who wouldn't make a wife of his cook makes a cook of his wife. Even an amateur organlflP*' can play a" wedding march that is entirely satisfactory to the female in the case. Remorse is a good deal like a wooden leg—it helps a man on his way, but he can see where he’d be happier without it.

POINTS FOR POULTRY RAISER

A little salt in the mash food during the winter is an advantage, though not enough should be used to make it taste salty. ; e All of the kitchen and table waste is good for the fowls, unless it contains a lot of salt, and it may be fed mixed in the mash or merely as scraps, in a trough at mid-day. A good way to find out what the requirements of? well-bred fowls are, is to visit a poultry show aqd study the exhibits, talk with the exhibitors and question the judge. i Although damaged grain, sweepings, .screenings, etc., can be bought for comparatively low prices sometimes, they are not an economical food because they contain so little available food that will nourish the hen and make eggs. It is the abuse and not the use of corn that condemns it as a poultry food. • The keeping and cafS of a flock of pure-bred birds is a pleasure, where the keeping and care of a flock of mixed birds is a task. 5 Do hot feed more food of any kind ’ in troughs or in the scratching litter than the fowls will eat up in a reasonable time, because any that remains is likely to spoil and be a detriment to the fowls as well as a waste to the owner. .

Average Man’s Honesty

A banker who, for the first time in his life, has come into intimate contact with poverty-stricken folk, says: “The average man wants only half a chance to be honest.” .This is a thing worth learning, remarks the Toledo Blade. But it did not require visits to the to find, it out. A little thought would have served as well. The mass of peopleis constituted of average men. The mass has the power to do whatever it wills to do. It could, if it wished, rise in the night and strip the rich, bare, and since it is the mass that represents the majority will, it could, so far as the law is concerned, go unpunished. , But the average man is honest. The mass wants nothing of bloodshed and robbery. Those who possess are safe from those who have nothing. Our banker friend who visited poverty row used his eyes. His remark shows that, for most of his years, he hadn’t on this particular subject, used his grains.

Apple Dumplings

Pare and chop one apple for each dumpling. Prepare a crust, consisting of one and one-half cupfuls of flour, one large teaspoonful of baking powder, One heaping tablespoonful of butter, and moisten with enough milk to roll out. Cut in squares for each dumpling and fill with the apples. Sprinkle with sugar dnd cinnamon, wet the edges, pinch together, <*lace in a baking pan, fill with boiling water seasoned with *OB6 cupful of sugar and a half cupful of butter. This makes the sauce. Bake until the apples are done.

Hot Com Salad

Take a canof corn and stew it in a little milk, adding butter, pepper, salt and a dessert spoonful of sugar by way of seasoning. Add a half cupful of flaked boiled codfish and two chopped Spanish peppers. When hot, drain the salad on thin slices of brown bread, lightly spread with anchovy paste. The salad must be served as quickly as possible so as to retain its heat "

Generous Enjoyment

"Did your husband smoke the cigars you gave him?” _ • “No. But he enjoyed them just the same when he saw how happy the lovely premium that came with them made me." .
