Didn't Know Them.

Incidents of an amusing character,
many of which border closely upon the
ridiculous, are by no means infreqTen,
at the polls; IA in particular occurring
on Tuesday, and as related by an eve
witness, is sufficiently ridiculous to a
rant q mention.
An old gentleman (who by the way is
a republican, from an isolated quarter
Of the precinct, who is evidently more
careful in the exercise of the right OF
suffrage than the average voter, request
ed a democratic friend land candidate)
to grant him the favor of preparing his
ballot. The request was readily com
piled with, and upon being Intercepted
as to what changes he desired made
upon the ticket, the old gentleman
asked that the ticket be read to him. at
the same time experimenting his re-
quest with the statement, that he hoped
he might be gol darned If he G voted
for a man he did not know. The first
proposition, For the Constitution" was
read, and stricken out on the grounds OF
non acquaintance, the old gent declaring
in the most positive terms that he
would not vote for anybody, he did not
care a continental who it was, if he did
not know him. The seperate PROPOSE
tons, Prohibition" Minority Repre-
sentation," and Pierre for capital" were
then read in their order, all of which he
ordered stricken out for the reason that
he did not know any Of them. Mellette,
for governor, also fell under the ban for
a similar reason, as did the entire state
ticket. Clifford and Picker were ignor.
ed, and the name of a local candidate
that he knew, was substituted. When
his ticket was remodeled TO his liking,
there remained but two Of the names of
the candidates that originally appeared
thereon, and the name of one democrat,
making three in all the rest, including
all the separate propositions, having
been rejected upon the grounds of the
old gents being "~unacquainted with the
parties" The old gent is evidently in
tensely conscientious, and would doubt.

Obituary.


The subject of this obituary, Joseph
s. Akers, whose death occurred in this
city OH Friday of last week at a period
bordering so closely upon the time of
u going TO press as to exclude any
thing beyond a mere mention ofthe sad
event, was born in Hardin county, Ken
lucky, July LIST, 1917. At the age Of six
years he went with his parents to the
state of Illinois, where he remained
until he had attained his eighteenth
year, when he went to Plattville, Platte
county, Missouri, where he remained
about nine years, during which time he
met and married Miss Eliza Todd, a
very estimable young ladv Of that place.
From Platteville he removed TO st.
Joseph, Mo, where he resided until
early in 1886, when he came to this city,
where he was a~fterward, in 1887, joined
by his family, and Mrs. Lucy Todd,
mother Of his wife.
The death Of Mr.. Akers, when we
contemplate the mounful features con-
nected Herewith, seems inexpressibly
sad and pathetic. Summoned by the
grim messenger to enter the realms of
the great beyond in the prime of his
manhood, at a period in life when kim
dred ties, nearest and dearest to his
heart so strongly endeared him to life.
and gave to the final parting so much of
poignant sorrow, can but involve a de-
gree of sadness, in its contemplation,
which is beyond the power Of words to
describe. The mental anguish which
falls with such crushing force upon the
affectionate wife, in the loss of her hus
band, with all the painful circumstances
surrounding it, may only be imagined,
and not expressed. Her chief solace
must be the consciousness Of the cheer
ing fact, that her children, four affec-
tionate and exceptionally interesting
little girls, have been left her, in the
enjoyment of whose society n f~ullness
of whose affection the sum Of her future
happiness must be largely made up. 1t
will be a soothing thought to the many
who so deeply sympathize with her, in
the hour of her deep affection, that her
intense sorrow will be to some extent,
assuaged by her constantly increasing
devotion to her children, for whose
personal welfare her future life will be
most earnestly devoted. To the dis
consulate wife, the affectionate and sor-
rowing children. and the more distant
relatives of the deceased, the CHRONICLE
unites with this community, in extend
ing its deepest sympathy.

Prohibition was defeated in Lawrence

Sad Fatality.

Lookout correspondent to the Dead
wood Times, under date Of Sept. 2Sth
submits the following sad account Of the
accidental death of an estimable lady Of
that locality Son Monday morning
Mrs. Joshua A. Gier started on horse
back from her ranch on slate creek TO
visit lookout, not returning as night
came on her husband started out TO
meet her. When about halfway to
Lookout he found the horse she rode
with the saddle partly turned, which he
caught and came to this place where he
ascertained that she had not been here
during the day. The whole town turn
ed out to look for her and after securing
he woods for about three hours her
dead body was found by Alex Chisholm.
She was lying on her side in a very
natural position about one hundred
yards from the road. guarded by her
faithful shepherd dog, who although
called repeatedly by It's master, would
not bark or make n noise TO assist in
discovery, and when found would not
allow anyone to touch the body. 1t
was found necessary to rope and tie the
dog before the remains could be remov-
ed. There are numerous signs of bear
in this locality, and it is supposed that
the horse. seeing n of these animals,
became nnmanageable and boiling from
the road, unseated its rider. Her
hat was found about one hundred feet,
and her riding habit caught on a stump
about twenty feet from where she was
thrown. DIR. \. 5. Amerman made an
examination Of the body and found the
neck broken. She leaves a de voted hus.
band and four small children, who, to-
gether with the whole community deep
iy mourns her loss. The remains were
inferred temporarily at Lookout.

Banker Walter Potterlof the banking house
of Potter. Lowell & Co., both of this city
sailed for England on the Umbrix Saturday,
carrying in their pockets all the tanneries in
New England and New York. They have
been quietly at work for the past sig weeks
in the interest of English capitalists. and as
evidence of their success, they take with
them all the plans and figures for surrender.
ing the control of this big industry to an
English syndicate.
The formation Of this new trust will be q
big surprise to dealers in leather. Ii means
departure from the regular method of trade
in this city and the formation of a gigantic
business plant. Already $4,000. 900 have
been pledged by English capitalists to obtain
control Of the sole leather tannerics In Maine,
Massachusetts and New York, ard they con-
template even greater things.
II his proves a success, As i undoubtedly
will. the syndicate will have $4,000, 200
more at its disposal for the purpose of ex-
tendiog its control so as to embrace all the
tanneres in the country.
At present the syndicate has secured con-
