OBITUARY.
APfoneer of 1918 Gone.


Lucy Sawyer was born at Jaffrey,
Cheshire Co., N. H, February l, 1915.
Her father, Asa Sawyer, with his fam
lily, moved to Brimield, Portage Co.,
Ohio, in 1918. OF all who settled in
Brimfield previous to 1919 very few are
now living, and only one, Oliver Saw
yer, now resides in that town. or a
family of ten children, only the eldest
brother, Levi Sawyer, in his Seth year,
residing at Towle. Iowa, and the
youngest sister, Mrs. Abram Shuman,
of Brimfield, survive their sister Lucy.
October Is, 1884, Miss Sawyer and
VIM. r. Kelso were married. To
them were born II children, six died
infancy or early youth. and six, viz:
COrnelia, wife of Darwin Smith, of
Brimfield; Alice, wife Oft. E. Snyder,
and Mary Jane, wife of Darwin Saw
yer, of Cleveland Clarinda, wife Of
Burt Porter, George Kelso, and Eunice
wife of Victor Sawyer, of Brimfield,
survive to mourn the departure of
truly Christian mother. Of IA grand
children II are living. Mr.. kelso died
in 1850, and since then she has resided
in the home at Brimfield Center,
where she has spent some 49 years.
Mrs. Kelso was a good representa-
tive of the generation to which she
belonged. The difficulties with which
they had to contend, the privations
and hardships which they had to en-
dure and the apparent lack of oppor-
tunities for intellectual and social inn
provement, seemed to develop some of
the very best qualities of life and char
acter. She was quiet, unassuming.
an accommodating neighbor, true
friend, self sacrificing in her ministry
to the sick and needy, and thoroughly
consecrated to the interests of her FAM
ily. She was universally esteemed
and loved. Truly had she I" malice
towards none and charity for ALL"
For many years she had been a faith
ful and honored member of the Uni |
versalist Church, and In this faith she
lived and died.
After an illness of about one week |
she passed quietly to rest and higher
life, Friday afternoon, April IS, 1886. |
Her life was truly worth living, and
though dead she yet speaks eloquently
of the spirit of love and forgiveness.
Her memory is indeed blessed.
Her funeral services were held at |
the family residence Sunday afternoon
and were very largely attended. The
services were conducted by Rev. An
drew Wilson, assisted by Rev. II. L.
Garfield

Rosetta Kraiss, fifth child of J. j. and
Sarah Kraiss, was born in Rootstown,
June 25, 1860. She and G. H. Franc were
married October "A, 1882. About year
after this marriage they purchased and
moved into pleasant residence at New
Milford. Here they lived very happily
until that deceptive and fatal disease,
consumption, admonished her that she
must bid farewell to this earthly home.
With the exception of few weeks in
town. On the 81 of April, 1886, she bade
her husband and many friends an affec-
tionate good bye, and slept the sleep of
death. There were not any remarkable
incidents in her career. Her life was
quiet, pleasant and full of sunshine. She
was more than usually thoughtful, and
yet always cheerful and hopeful. She
possessed truly self sacrificing, unself-
ish disposition and was more anxious for
the comfort and welfare Of others than
for herself.
Her funeral services, conducted by
Rev. Andrew Wilson, held in the U. B.
church at New Milford, Tuesday, April
9th, were very largely attended. The
young husband and all the bereaved have
the sympathy of the entire community.
She has gone from our midst, and we miss her,
A wife and sister, kind-hearted and true.
Never more on this earth shall we meet her,
For the tomb doth hide her from view.
Her spirit is free from all trouble,
And gone to its bright, happy home.
No more in this dark vale of sorrow
Our dear Rosetta Will roam.
When the trumpet of Gabriel sounds,
We will meet on that beautiful shore,
Where death, and the anguish of parting,
By friends will be known never more.
Her exile at last is ended,
The river of death she has passed.
Now safe above with her Saviour,
The soul OF our loved ones at rest.

WASHINGTON special, April 16;-
Republican Senators here say that the
Senate will take no notice of the rec
ommendation made by the Republi-
cans of the investigating committee at
Columbus, that the manner of Mr..
Payne's election TO the Senate be in
quired into. They say the report
shows no cause why there should be
any action taken, as no charges are
made or sustained against Senator
Payne. Senator Sherman said he had
not read the report, land knew nothing
about it. Senator Payne said the re-
port was what might have been ex-
pected, and that it did not concern
him.

Go to VanNess for Your Groceries.
He has the best of everything in the
land. The best teas, coffees and pure
spices. Some smart aleck, with more
grease on his hair than brains under
his scalp, reported that VanNess was
going out of the grocery business, but
such is not the case, for he has never
had more complete stock than he has
today. One real nice man, who lives
east little ways, made the remark
that he would not trade with VanNess
any more, for he thought The drugs
would spoil the groceries. This said
nice man owes VanNess $14, and re-
fused TO pay, and takes this way to
show his ;p ,reciation of VanNess
keeping him out of the poor house for
the last year. He takes this paper and
will recognize this when he sees it, and
if any other dealer wants to protect
himself against such unworthies, Van
Ness will tell you who this is.

Analysing the Baking Powders.

Under the direction of the New York
State Board Of Health, eighty-four differ
ent kinds Of baking powders, embracing
all the brands that could be found for
sale in the state, were submitted for ex-
animation and analysis bv Prof. c. +.
Chandler, member of the Estate board,
and president Of the New York city
board Of health, assisted by Prof Edw'
g. Love. the well-known late United
States government chemist.
The official report shows that a large
number Of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime; many OF
them to such an extent as to render
them seriously Objectionable for use in
the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine sam
pies. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheaper their cost. The
presence of lime is attributed to the i'm
pure cream of tartar of commerce used
Ii their manufacture. Such cream of tar
tar was also anaIyzed, and found to con-
tain lime and other impurities in some
samples to the extent of SO per cent. OF
their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market
with the single exception Of the Royal
(not including the alum and phosphate
powders. which were long since discard
ed as unsafe or inefficient by prudent
housekeepers) are made from the impure
cream of tartar of commerce. and conse-
quently contain lime to corresponding
extent.
The only baking powder vet found bY
chemical analysis to be entirely free
from lime and absolutely pure is the
.sRoyal." This special purity results from
the exclusive use of cream of tartar re-
fined by natent processes Of the n. \
Tartar Co, which totally remove the tar
trate of lime. and other impurities. The
cost Of this chemically pure cream ef tar
tar is much greater than any other. and
on account Of this greater cost is used in
no baking powder but the Royal"
Prof. Love. who made the analyses o
baking powders for the New York state
board Of health as well as for the gov
ernrnent, says Of the purity and whole
someness Of Royal"
81 have tested q package Of Royal Ba
king Powder which / purchased IN oper
market, and find it composed of pur'
and wholesome ingredients It is /
cream Of tartar powder of a high degre'
of merit, ard does not contain either al
nm Or phosphates or any injurious sub
/ stances. E.G. LOVE- PH. D.

Is This Our Ed?

+. F. Ferris-The cold snap did no
damage to the cattle in Montana or Da-
kota. The cattle, pilgrims and native
range, were prepared for it, and, there
fore, did not experience any i'll effects.
They suffer from the cold weather. es-
pecially after such mild fall and winter
as those of the present year. The suffer
ing among cattle is caused when there is
general thaw followed by bitter cold
snap. The ground is then covered with
ice, and the cattle are unable to get any
thing to eat. The present snow was not
very deep, and the cattle can easily get
down to the grass. Even the pilgrims
from Texas and the south have had time
to get accustomed to the northern cli-
mate and are rugged and healthy. |
have about 500 head upin Montana and
know they are not suffering in the least
from the cold weather.

A Letter From Salem, oregon.

SALEM, OREGON, Jan. 7, 1886.
Editor Chr 01aicle.
have thought for long time that
would write letter for your paper, but
not being very good hand at the busi-
ness have not done so.
Having spent eleven years in Gallatin
valley and short time in Bozeman, and
having a personal acquaintance with
nearly all of the old settlers, your paper
is very interesting to me-.
Driving into Salon few days ago,
saw in the distance two good looking,
well dressed men coming along the road.
When opposite my wagon they stopped
and proved To be two of East Gallatin's
substantial farmers-David and W. II.
DavIs, the IaCUvI aranied by his
family, who have come on a vlaIG 70
their relatives living near Salem. From
them we got a glowing account OF the
boom that struck Gallatin valley the
past season, and the news from my old
friends and neighbors. Times in the
Willamette valley are not as good as
they might be, but are better than they
have been for the past two years. The
wheat crop was below an average; the
same with oats; and prices have ruled
low: 66 cents for wheat, 35 cents for oats,
4 cents for dressed hogs, no price for
potatoes; apples could be had in the
fall for 10 cents per bushel, in the or
chard and thousands Of bushels rot on
the ground for want of market; and
when see them waste wish that the
people of Montana could have them.
The same thing applies to cherries,
pIums and pears. / do not know what
such things sell for in Bozeman. We
think direct trade might be established
that would give the people of Gallatin
valley cheaper fruit and the Oregon far
| mer a market. Mr. & Mrs. ]. J. Thorn
as, who located the first ranch on East
GaIlatin, lives four miles south of Salem
on a farm, the former in not very good
health. II, N. Mcguire, exjudge of Gal
latir County, is stepping in Salem. He
breaches to the spiritualists, that meet
at Harmony Hall, twice every Sunday,
and is preparing to publish paper that
he claims will be read all over the world.
Wishing your paper and the people OF
Gallatin abundant success ! close this

Sheen in Montana,

Harvey Bliss, Big Timber, eonveFses
thusly with the Pioneer Press: We
have had, up to the past week, the mild
est weather ever known in Montana.
We had no snow and no cold weather,
and the cattle are in first class condition.
There was apprehension early in the fall
that the prairie fires which were started
on several ranges, would destroy the
grass and leave the cattle nothing to
feed on. In our range and that at the
foot of the Snowy mountains, prairie
fires were started. Fortunately, the
wind happened to be blowing in the
right direction and our fires were
whipped" out. On the Snowy range ]
understand that considerable grass was
burned up, as well ss several buildings.
The q ca covered was not sufficient to
caIs any great amount Of suffering.
The cattle have not suffered from the
late snow, as the snow by this time has
been blown off into the gulches and
ravines. The sheep interests in Mon
tana are coming to the front now. Ithas
been found that there is more money in
sheep than in cattle. Why. in Big Tim
Der last year We. shipped over one
million pounds of wool.

Judge PolIard's Defense.

By an article published IN the Indian
apolis Times and copied in several re-
publican papers in Montana, some very
severe charges are made against Judge
Pollard, lately of Indiana and now judge
of this district. He is accused of being
a rebel appropriating an entire estate
dishonest dealings with clients victim
izing simple-minded girl altering
dead mans deed denounced as Jury
fixer" aud being unable to spell the
word "ho. o." The charges, to Mon
tanians, are of startling and damna-
BILE nature, and If one-tenth of them can
be sustained, although in political SYM
pathy with the Judge, the CHRONICLE
WILDE among the first to denounce him.
We say startling to Montanians, because
Montanlans are unused to such bitter
denunciations, which in many places in
the east would be looked upon as wholly
untrue and unworthy of comment. As
soon as the judge was shown copy of
the charges or attack, whichever it
proves to be, he wrote the following
card to the Helena Independent, which,
in our opinion, is a strong and satisfac'
tory as 1t can be made
Having Just seen copy of the In
dianapolis Times, and copied into the
Herald, containing yindictiye and ma
llcious attack upon my character, private
and professional, / deem it proper to say
that it's statements in 80 far as they
affect my personal or professional integ-
rity, are absolutely and unqualifiedly
FALSE Should any charge be preferred
against me for the purpose of preventing
the confirmation of my appointment, |
am prepared to, and shall refute one
and all of them. In the meantime, as |
have held by appointment of the late
Vice President Hendricks, and also by
election, the Office of prosecuting attor-
ney in my own circuit at home, have
been attorney for years for both the city
| and coulty of my residence, and was
| recommended for the Office / now hold
by the governor of the state by all the
state officers, by the supreme judges, by
Judge Wood of the Federal court, by
Vice President Hendrick, Hon, Joseph
Mcdonald, Hon. DIV Voorhees,, by Jas
W. Carnahan, Adjutant- General of the
state of Indiana. by seven congressman
of the state of Indiana. by Hon. Austin
H. Brown. member Of the nasionai dem
ocratic committee, and by Hon. Charles
Jewett, speaker of the house of repre-
sentatiyes, it would seem fair that judg
ment should be withheld until the
charges have been made known to me
and an opportunity afforded me to refutt
them.

A Pair Of Brown Eyes.

What is the hope with which you are
shining,
Glad brown eyes in love with the light;
Shining as stars shine out of the night,
Kindled with glory for our divining?
Whist Of worship are you enshrining-
Visions Of what unknown delighR
What is the hope with which you are
shining,
Glad brown eyes in love with the iight2
Youth and hope in your look combining !
Ahl be glad of them, eyes, tonight
Glad, in youth time, of youths delight
Let us wonder, weary with pining.
What is the hope with which you are
shining?
Louise Chandler Moulton.
Why do you ask of glad brown eyes,
That sparkle with Joy and are shining;
Why they look up with sweet surprise.
At darkning clouds in summer skies,
And search for their silvery lining?
Why do you ask of glad brown eyes,
Their sweet visions for your divining?
Lies dreams are hid meath loves dis
guise;
And when you ask fond love replies,
From the depth Of soft brown eyes shin
ing:
Go ask the flowers kissed by the dew,
For the secrets you would discover
Glad brown eyes are tender and true,
Yet not word will they tell to you;
But keep the sweet words for their lover.
Will Arthur Davis.
