Her mother's family was one of the oldest in Jennings county and were all interested in collecting stories of the ScotchIrish ancestors, the McCasslines and the Shields. Deceased was united in marriage on Dec. 11, 1873, to Smith K. Vawter. To this union three children were born. Edna, John T., and Louise. Few’ persons really knew Mrs. Vawter unless they came to her home. For those whocame there was a w’elcome hospitality under any circumstances. • In the year 1883 she and her husband moved their family to Kosciusko county and settled on his.brother’s farm, John T. Vawter. Sr., near Lake Wawasee. Here they lived a happy and upright life until his death, February 22, 1901, after which the family went to Vernon, but returned in a short time, Mrs. Vawter remaining on her old home farm until death. One of her favorite quotations was: “The friends thou hast And their adoption tried. Grapple them to thy soul Like hoops of steel.” She was a member of the Presbyterian church, of which she was a faithfud member -when near the church. One of her favorite expressions w’as “to take things to the Lard in prayer." Deceased never grew old; she loved the company of young people in her home and enjoyed the pleasures of life to the fullest extent. She leaves to mourn their loss three children. Edna (Mrs. C. £ Hess), John T. Vawter of Los Angeles, Calif., and Louise (Mrs. B. C. Green)’; two sons-in-law; three grandchildren, Beryl, John and Mary ’Green; and a host of relatives and friends.

COAL INDUSTRY IN MAY With a coal miners’ strike threatening in the anthracite district and the certainty of a reflect on the bituminous coal market, the fuel question is rightfully one of immediate interest to the industries and householders all over the country. The transportation companies are urging that consumers buy and store coal when the railroads can carry it. The mine operators are urging that the public take the coal as fast as the -miners can get it to the stirface, as storing soft coal at the mine is impracticable. The miners want to keep on working but they know they must be laid off if there is no one to buy or carry away the coal as fast as they bring it out. There is a feeling of uncertainty about what the price of fuel may be by autumn and a consequent reluctance on the part of the public to invest now in a supply against the heavy demand season. The railroads and the larger industries are laying in heavy stocks, and jobbers and local dealers are advising their customers to have a thought for the future. The commission authorized by congress to investigate the coal industry thinks there will be no far-reaching labor disturbances in the collieries, but the men who have formerly been able to influence the three-quarters of,a million miners are insisting that the country is face to face with another general strike. The coal output in the United States for the week ending May 5 decreased 93,000 tons as compared with the previous week, according to a survey by the United States department of interior. The total output for the week was 10,010.000 net> tons. The decrease, according to the survey, was due to the steadily growing condition of “no market" and “to the absence of improvement in traffic conditions.” “No Market" was the chief cause of decrease in the Indiana outnut. th(* survey said. —Hoosier Utilities Bulletin.

The birds have remarkable intelligence, says Nature magazine. They mate in pairs and the female of each union has exercised her right of suffrage to the extent that the male helps her in hatching out the eggs and in caring for and feeding the young. o WHY THE SALMON IS PINK Men of science were long puzzled to know why the various salmon and trout have red or pink flesh. Now they believe that the color comes from the food they eat. All of the salmon family are fond of shellfish. LOST—A bunch of keys. Finder please leave at the Journal office. stf
