Father Morris with his parents
moved to Ohio, five miles south of
st. Clairsville. in the year 1909.
From there, in 1918, he moved to
Crabapple near Beallsville, at which

Monroe County in 1923, at which
time ReallsYille was scarcely known,
Novemhar, 1892, he was married to
Miss Nancy Baker,who still survives
the loss of her husband. During the
same year he was married he joined
the NJ. +. Church, of which he re-
mained a faithful member until 1889,

emplary member until his death.
Father Morris was a man of ster-
ling christian integrity, He was a
| tnatirss. working christian amid dis
couragemcnts as well as in sunshine
When he came to deaths door he
had no fears. The religion he pro
fessed in life was in that dark Eoul
his solace. He died in the full tri

noble first settlers of our county ar
sleeping their lest long sleep }. }

haviOr.
Capt. Mann made an excellent
speech.
Woodsfeld folks were plentiful on
the, grounds.

ing everybody awake.
The following resolution was adop-
ted on Thursday m
WHEREAS, We, the ex- soldiers and
sailors of the. late war for the Union,
in reunion assembled at Antioch,
Ohio, fully realize the, hardships to
which our unfortunate comrades,
who are seeking pensions and in
crcases, are put to in being required
to travel great distance, to under
90 medical examination, and be-
lieving as we do that the great num-
Der OF ex-soldiers and sailors who
reside in this county is sufficient
reason for having a board of physi-
clans appointed who reside. in the
county; therefore, be it
ResOlred, that committee of
three comrades be selected by the
chairman of this meeting with in
structions to take such steps toward
securing the appointment of such a
board as they may deem proper.
The Chairman appointed as such
committee, A. J. Pearson, ID. G. Pet

THE ST. PAUL STOCK YARDS.

The establishment of cattle market
i'm st. Paul is movement that is OF
more than passing interest TO the farm.
ers of the Northwest. What Kansas
City is to day she owes to the induction
of her stock yards, and nothing could
have occurred to give the raising of stock,
and especially fat cattle, such an impe.
tus throughout the Southwest as this
very thing. We are glad to know that
the meeting of stockmen of Montana
and the whole Northwest which was
held in st. Paul last week had the effect
of organizing company which has
since been Incorporated, and steps will
Immediately be taken. to build new
yards in West st. Paul, and a two-story
brick barn 3OOx6OO feet, for the accom-
mediation of cattle. 1t will be capable
of holding 5000 steers and will be the
largest building of the kind in the North
west. There Is no reason in the world
why cattle market in st. Paul cannot
be made the most gratifying success. 1t
has an inexlaustible territory of unex-
celled cattle to draw from, and 500 miles
of transportation can be saved by the
Montana stock growers in getting their
fat cattle to market. Besides, 1t will
prove of great value to farmers in Min
nesota and Dakota, as it provides o
home market where q carload OF tat
steer can be run in on from two TO five
hours time.
1t is high time that the dual cities OF
Minnesota began to appreciate the
needs of the great Northwest in all mat
tiers of merchandise and commerce.
They must be to this vast territory what
Chicago has 80 long been, but which We
will have very little use for In the fu-
ture. Every advantage that Chicago
holds as a market for the Northwest can
be discounted by the twin cities.

Critics On Cooking.

II is one of the strange things about
human nature that everybody's else oc-
cupatiOn is so much easier and pleasant
ter than ones own. Housekeeping is
the most delightful affair i'm the world to
those who have never tried it. They
really have not the least idea how diff
ficult it is to cook or serve perfect
meal without failures nor clutches" in
it. Their backs do not ache, their heads
do not thrOb, their nerves are not in q
culver over the awkward mistakes of
servants. They cannot understand why
the hot tears start in your eyes, or
worse yet, the hot words drop from your
lips ut their careless criticism of bread
or cake or meat. 1t may seem hard that
after Il mornings toll in hot kitchen,
or after careful and minute directions,
there will be some lamentable failure
hoped would please. and that some
body's eagle eye will pounce upon that
one weak point in the whole affair, per-
haps the very thing over which you
have toiled patiently, while all the eX-
cellencies of all the rest are forgotten.
The spot on the sun i'm household astro-
nomy usually puts out the sun entirely.
But never mind if it does. Remember
that no one means to be unkind.
They have a right to expect you to
give them good things to eat and they
are disappointed If they do not get
them, that is all. Make up your mind
what is reasonable for your family to
expect of you, do it just rs well us you
hor
you are selfish and indolent you will
probably fall short of your duty. If you
are conscientious and devoted you will
probably do more. The average house.
holder thinks the three meals are the
only important thing, and that your
main strength should be given to them.
You know that the neatness and pleas
antness of the house demand something;
if there are little children they de-
mand still more. Keep the due proper
ton. Waste no time on the unattaina-
bic. DO not model your housekeeping
or serving on some one else's whose cir
stances are either much beyond or be-
low yours. Then if criticism or COM
PARSONS come. take them kindly. Stop
and think before you let them hurt you.
'Do deserve itP" If you do, you need
it, and it will do you no harm. If you
do not, let 1t 60. The heavens will not
fall if the roast is under-done to-day, or
che cake scOrched tomorrow, provided
il really could not be helped. BE sure
always and do your best, then send no
unavailing regrets after it, if it is not
very good "best. May Ann Blake, in
Good Housekeeping.

Hon. J. p. WEST, ofWells, thorough
gentleman and well posted in politics
was recently interviewed by the Winnie
bago City Press-Neaos, and is credited
with saying that while he is of the opin
ion that Gibbs will be nominated, his
"choice is Hon. A. r. McGill, of st
Peter, the most clean-cut man yet men
toned for this high office"-that of Gov
ernor. Mr.. West gives this as his rea
son for thinking that Gibbs is the com
ing man: "He is evidently backed by
the railroads and other monopolists il
the state. The same influence mad,
HIM speaker of the last House." If Mr.
West speaks advisedly on this question
the fact that railroads are supportin,
him will drive the balance of politica
support from Mr.. Gibbs. The people
are in no frame of mind to allow cor
porations or monopolIsts to monke,
with the gubernational nomination. /
would be well for Mr.. Gibbs to prov,
himself free from such an alliance O
withdraw from the field.

THE question of High-License is gain

THE question of High-License is gain
ing popularity and adherents through
out the country, and at this time il
seems the only reasonable way to regu
late and adjust the liquor traffic. 1t il
so rare that Democratic paper bears
testimony to the efficacy Of laws regl
lating the liquor traffic, that it attracts
notice when such matters come to publ,
notice. The st. Louis Republican Dem.
in discussing the High License system
of Missouri, which provides for mini
mum fee of $3.50. says that it has result
ed in "a diminished number of saloons
decrease in the drinking habit, and ,
larger revenue from the sale of bever
age. This has been the result wherever
the high license plan has been tried
Minnesota should make an effort at tn,
next session of the legislature to fix tn,
minimum fee at $500.

THE series of Great American Indus
tries in Harper's Magazine is continued
in the coming Number by an article on
Sugar. The subject is most thoroughly
handled and copiously illustrated. The
author, r. r. Bowker, has gathered ma
terial from the most eminent and recent
authorities. Beginning with a brief his
tory of sugar, he shows It's enormous
production at present, describes the
Louisiana plantations and their work,
and the mysterious processes of the
great refineries. Beside the sugar-cane
sorghum, beet, maple, and glucose sug-
ar are carefully treated. The wonderful
chemistry of sweets is unfolded as well
as the secrets of candy-making. The
paper is compendium of valuable IN
formation.
