near Scottsville, March 4, 1915. Mrs. Far
rell was born In Richmond, Virginia, o.
tober 10, 1914. They came to Illinois in
1S47. Mr.. Farrell has been life long
democrat and lived to see another demo
cratic president; although seventy winters
have passed over his head, he expects to
help elect several more yet. His eldest son,
John W., served over four years in the late
war to preserve the country of which we
are Justly proud. While j. W. is republi-
can, E. T. is a strong prohibitionist, all three
of the leading parties being represented in
the family. After partaking of bountiful
repast prepared mostly by Mrs Farrell's
own hands, although seventy past, an hour
was spent in music and singing, after which
we adjourned joining with their many
friends in wishing them many years of Joy
and happiness.
Half O century hand in hand,
Treading golden paths together;
Half entury unbroken,
Since the golden vows were spoken
In the glorious spring time weather.
Half century's golden memories,
Rays of golden glory shed ling;
Memories touched with holy sadness,
Memories rife with Joy and gladness
Crown today the golden wedding.

as to showing here, the audience was greatly
pleased. John Rogers gave orders at the
Clifton, that no reporter be allowed to desturb
her when she retired for few hours rest,

Morris Independent: "a fellow from La Sale,
who is evidently stuck on his shape imposed
on the patrons of the Opera House rink Thurs
day night by an endeavor to beat his record
and succeeded in doing so, that is II he was
trying to lower his record as consummate
ass. He requested Manager Hull to allow
him to skate mile against time. His request
was granted. He made two or three starts,
and finally concluded that the floor was too
slippery, and In order to beat his record 1t
would have to be chalked. 1t was chalked,
and he proceeded to galolp around the hall, to
the disgust of all present, until tired out, when
he retired to the dressing room, dotted his
knee pants and hied to the depot where he
took the FIRST train for home"

Geo. Trimble, J. H. Eckles, Chas. Zeiter,
Thos. Lynch and John Gardner represented
this city at Morris last Thursday night. The
quintette, dressed in their best clothes, with
their skate-bags slung under their arms,
swooped down on the Morris rink and carried
everything before them by storm. Although
no small bills announced their coming, they
were the special attraction Of the night. The
news quickly spread throughout the city that
five of the champion skaters of La Sale coun-
ty were at the rink, and the manager, with an
eye single to business, raised the price of adj
mission. At 10 o'clock there were so many
Morris girls endeavoring to catch look at
the Ottawa delegation that Trimmy suggested
to the door-keeper that there were enough
pretty ladies present and that the door be bar
ricaded, which was accordingly done. The
visitors speak in the highest manner of praise
Of the way in which they were entertained
and are profuse in their eulogistic remarks OF
the polite, courtly way in which they were
treated. In speaking of the visit Eek. says it
was like a kaleidoscope of transcendental
magnitcence, starred with beauty and lumi-
nous with loving glances from fascinating
eyes, Trmmy thought it poem as he glided
over the surface with pretty little stanza by
his side; Zeit. was reminded of scene in
Paramount Park, Phila., as he made the cir
cult of the rink between duet of charming
young ladies; a symphony in blue had capti-
waited Lyn. and at parting she eXacted prom
Use that he would visit the rink again; Gard.
thought it second edition of our Ottawa rink
and made it interesting for one of the men,
bers of the broom brigade, who is coming
down to see him next week. The visitors
were extended cordial invitation to be pres.
ent at the same place April 9th, and it will
take a steamboat cable to hold them from go.

Inquirer" of Marseilles, writes the FREE
TRADER, asking what are the duties Of the
President, Vice President, and the Cabinet?'
The president and the cabinet form the exec
utive head of the government; though prac-
tically the latter constitute but an advisory
board, acting us the immediate advisers and
counselors of the president. They meet when
ever the chief executive so desires. The meet
ings are not public and no minutes are kept,
nor are the names Of those present recorded.
The president presides and he may require in
writing the opinion of any member OF his
cabinet on matters concerning that particular
department of the government. The cabinet
has no responsibility; that rests with the
president. He is commander.in OF the
army and navy and of the militia Of the sever
al states when called into the actual service OF
the United States He has power to grant re-
prieves and pardons for offenses committed
against the government exceptin cases OF i'm
parchment He also has the power, by and
with the advice of the senate, to make trea-
ties, appoint ambassadors, ministers and con-
suls, judges of the supreme court, postmasters
of the first and second class, and all other
officers Of the United States whose appoint
ment is not otherwise provided for. 1t is also
the duty of the president to send to congress
from time to time message" giving lnfor-
nation of the condition of the nation wherein
he may recommend to its consideration such
measures Us he shall judge necessary and ex-
pedient. 1t is also his duty on extraordinary
occasions to convene both houses of congress
or either of them, and, in case of disagree
ment between them with regard to the ad-
journment, he is empowered to adjourn them
to such time as he shall think proper. He re-
ceives all representatives of foreign countries
and commissions all the officers Of the gov
eminent. Every bill which passes congress
must have his signature to become a law, I'M
less, after he has returned it to congress with
his objections, two-thirds of each house shall
vote in favor of said bill. He can be i'm
peached by twothirds vote at joint session
of congress, and removed, when the vice-pres-
ident assumes the duties of that office The
vice-president is required to preside over the
deliberations of the senate, vote in case of a
tie in the chamber, and his responsibilities
stop there. He is a mere political cipher in
the governmental makeup.

and he considers the general finan-
cial condition of the State good. He
says that there is about 100000 in
the treasury, and taking into consid-
Grafton the hard times we are in
pretty good condition. OF the gen
eral school fund one half is due the
State in January, and one-fourth in
May. The remaining one-fourth is
due in August. Whatever amount
of that fund is in the treasury June
10th is the amount distributed.
There should be three fourths of the
assessment in, as you can see, but
this year there was but little over
one-half of the ee-fourths due.
in, and the result was that the
amounts distributed fell off decided
ly He further states that when
that part of the fund which is not
in does come in it will go into the
fund for next year, and increase it
just so much. This is what the
small fry radical papers all over the
State have been yelping about when
they say that the fund is short and
intimate that the Democrats have
taken the money. The sum and
substance of the whole matter is
that times are little hard this year
and the sheriffs have INDUCED the
taxpayers. But now that we have
just and honest administration of
the national affairs times will prob
ably brighten up, and in future the
payment of taxes may be made more
promptly. At any rate the people
have not been defrauded. The dis
honesty is with the politicians who
would willfully deceive the people
into the idea that they had been
wronged when they have not. No
party should ever be trusted that
will resort to deceit to gain voters
for it's ranks.

Recalling n Remarkable
Event.

A recent number of the St. Paul
Mimi Globe was largely devoted
to an account of celebration at the
town of New Ulm of famous Indi-
an fight at that place some twenty
three years ago. On the 23d of
August, 1862, New Ulm, then flour
ishing settlement, was assaulted by an
overwhelming force of Sioux, who
however were repulscd after dies.
perate siege. Before the attack the
Sioux, under the leadership of Little
Crow, noted chief, had secured the
country, numbering and pillaging
wherever they went. At least 900
people were slain by the savages,
who gained admission to their houses
on various pretenses and without fir
ing gun. At the close of the war
thirty eight of the savages were hung
at one time as an example to the
others. The Globes narrative is ac-
companied by wood cut of this re-
markable execution, which presents
curionsly graphic picture of what
must have been a fearfully impress
sive scene. 1t is related that at the
scaffold the Indians crowded after
the provost-marshal "as if it were a
race to see who could get up first in
order to be hanged" The condemn
ed men all fell together, and the exc
cutIon was consummatcd without the
slightest hitch or delay. The Globes
account of the whole affair is yerv
graphic, and is one of many eviden-
ces of enterprise since its new pro
prietor, Mr.. Lewis Baker, took
charge. MIR. Baker was for many
years proprietor of the Wheeling
