EEMr. Oscar G, Barnes, whose illness
has been noticed, died last Saturday af-
ternoon. He had had trouble with his
stomach for two years or more, with
much pain at times, but was confined TO
his bed about five weeks before his

in requisition on musical occasions. lie

lievc he was misjudged and misunder-
stood, though his own boldness and
of his enemies often led him
into fault. lie leaves a wife and four
young children, TO whom he had been
a good husband and father. Il
