Ths Death Of William q sohoII

We are called upon this week to
chronicle the death OfOne Of our most
respected citizens, and one who has
long been a conspicuous person in our
county affairs. We refer to William
B. SchOll. Mr.. SchOll's health has
been poor since his very serious ill
ness Of something over a year ago.
On Wednesday night Of last week he
was stricken with paralysis, from the
effects Of which he died on Saturday
afternoon, about 3 80 o'clock. He
was unconscious from Wednesday
night until his death. Mr. Seholl
was born Ia Clark county, Kentucky,
April IA, ls13-and had thus passed
his I'D year On the sd day Of DC
tOber, 1884, he was united In mar
rage to Miss Eleanor Shore in Har.
risOn county, Indiana, and on the 23d
OF October, last year, the aged couple
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary Of
their marriage. Mr.. SchOll was a
blacksmith by trade, although in
early years he followed the Oeeupa-
ton Of a l,Oatman upon the Ohio and
Mississippi Rivers, and was for a sea
son q steamboat pilot. Forty eight
years ago he united with the NJ. f.
church, and 10 the time Of his deaf h
was q faithful and consistent member.
He removed TO Salina in May, 1867.
Since his residence here, he for seven
years has been q county commission
eF, labOriug faithfully, efficiently
snd Satisfactorily for the public His
aged spouse survives him, a. well as
seven married danghters-all; well
and favOFably known in Salina. The
funeral services occurred at the NJ.
E. church Sunday afternoon. The
church was crowded with citizens
who had gathered 20 pay their last
sd respects 10 the deceased friend
aud fellow citizen. A most excellent
and appropriate funeral discourse was
delivered by Rev. ID. ID. Campbell,
and 81 the shadows Of evening were
falling q long dFawn-Out procession
wound lis way 10 the city Of the dead
The Odd FellOWs-Of which Mr..
SehOll was . prominent member
conducted the funeral ceremonial.
And thus has passed from our sight,
q man who possessed numerous ex.
eellsncies Of heart, and who was
much beloved BY our community
Father" scholl will be q name long
remembered in these fair valleys.

though the preceding day a heavy rain
had fallen and the streets were very
muddy. The mud, Of course, some
what interfered with the turnout,

headquarters, and amer the usual pre-
liminary exercises reappeared march
ing In column, and this was the sig
nal for the formation Ofthe procession
to the cemetery. The column was
preceded by the Germania Band,
which furnished most excellent music
while on the march and at the eeme-
terry. The boys Of the band received
the highest commentator from all
quarters for the high grade Of music
and the proficiency with which il was
rendered. The ladies Of the relief
corps, under the direction Of Mrs. DR..
Crowley and Mrs. Capt. Parker, had
charge Of the floral part Of the pro

uniformed in red, white and blue,
and each one held In her hand a floral
wreath to be used ct the cemetery.
Capt. H. ID. Baker showed eOnsidera-
BILE military skill In handling the
column, and was ably assisted by Mr..
Robert MARYLAND. East of town the
roads we've found In fair condition,

along to the cemetery. A partially
successful attempt was made to count
the carriages which passed into the
grounds They numbered over $50.

We hope there Is no foundation for
the rumOr that the city council In
tend to require licenses for the drug

why such a license would be required.

liquor. II the council design doing
any such thing. they may as we'll IL
cense the saloons. By a sort Of sub
terfuge it Is licensing the free dispO-
sition ofliquOr. Il would be no worse
than to allow the saloons to run full
