Obituary.

Daniei Brooks, until two years ago a
his home at St. Paul, Mimi, of pneu-
monia, after brief illness, on Friday,
Jan. II, 1890, in the 35th year of his
age. Mr. Brooks was here on visit
only week or so ago, and the news of
his death was therefore a great shock
and surprise to his relatives and
friends. At St. Paul he was in the en-
ploy of street car company. By his
open, free-hearted manner and kindly
impulses he had secured large circle
of friends, who learn of his decease
with sincere regret. Mr.. Brooks was
married about four years ago to Miss
Mary A. Thompson, of Emmett, who
survives him. The remains were
brought here for interment in st. Ber-
nard S cemetery, the funeral being held
from ST. Demands church Sunday af-
ternoon.
Herman Bentert died Friday night,
Jan. II, 1890, at his home in Emmett,
where he had resided for over forty
years, of influenza, in the 50th year
of his age. Deceased was born in Prus-
STA, Nov.6, 1910. He was proprietor of
the Watertown lime works and carried
on business here in the city for a num-
Der of years past. Mr.. Bentert was al
SO interested in saw and planning mill
at Stetsonville, Taylor county. He
leaves wife and several children to
mourn his decease. His funeral was
held Sunday from his late home and

last Thursday evening at the home of
Miss Anna Brown, very enjoyable
time being spent by about twenty
couples of young people. Music, cards
and other games were INDUCED in I'M
til a late hour, when refreshments were
served, after which the gathering dis
persed, everybody agreeing that the

great success.

the governor except nine member from
Silver Bow county-four Democrats and
five Republicans, whose seats were con.
tested. These nine certificates were found
in the governors Office unsigned after he
vacated
Saunders admitted this was the case
and withdrew his statement to the con-
trary made earlier in the day. The Dem
ocratic members OF the legislature did not
use the certificates Of the governor. be-
lieving the certificates Of the county clerks
were the correct and legal ones. but the
Republicans used the governors certlfi-
Gates in effecting an organization of their
house.
The registry list in precinct "a. Silver
Bow county, jerks said, was made by
Republicans and contained 1873 names.
That list seems to have been made under
the law filing all its requirements. The
election law modification of the Aus
tralian system is very strict and all the
details were carried out with the utmost
strctness and rightly as is shown by the
affidavit of the election officers. None
Of the official tickets were missing; nor
were any false ballots cast. The list shows
TIA ballots were cast out Of a registry Of
1873 votes.
jerks said the afidavits by members OF
the election board say no one was ex-
cluded from the count except one man
who was drunk and raising an uproar.
But even if election officers did violate
the provisions of the election law 30 as to
prevent the voters from expressing their
views. if throwing out a precinct would
result in a change Of the result. then the
violation is treated as of no force. The
county board was not really a canvassinP
board and its refusal to count the votes
from precinct "a was an assumption oil
power it didn't possess. 1t could only
make an abstract of votes.
A mandamus proceeding to require the
board to include the vote of precinct 81
was had and a mandamus was issued st
that in the eye Of the law only the certii
cate of votes from Silver Bow county tina
went to the state board contained thu
votes of precinct "a. If the acts of usur
patton by the state board are rubbed out
there is a clean record.
In answer to a question by Senate
Evarts, jerks stated that after the ballo
had been deposited in the box, Their
exists among election or canvassing board
no power except to count and tabulate the
votes cast. And again as to the limit Of
power of the senate in making an inquiry
into the election of a member it could
pursue every voter to the last resort, but
it would not be wise to exercise the power
after coming into contact with the finding
of a judicial tribunal that has jurisdiction.

the reports that the agent Of a wellknown
Liverpool lumber firm was short in his
accounts to the extent Of between 800. 900

power Of attorney to the extent of 81 ,O00,-

WITHOUT A TICKET.

A Passenger Proves Himself Able to
Travel Frce of Expense.
The other day on certain railway a
man got into one of the cars, saws the
New York Ledger, and presently began
talking to feilow-passenger. After a
time he asked the gentleman whether
he had heard the story about how man
travelled without ticket The gentle
man said he had not; so the man asked
him to lend him his ticket, that he
might show him how it was dono, and
began fiddling about with it, but pre-
tended that the story had suddenly
slipped out of his head, but that he
would be sure TO remember it soon.
After time the train got near New
York, and, as the man still could not re-
member the story, he returned the gen.
tleman his ticket latter tearing o bit off
of it) and started for the door. This
struck the gentleman as boing very curl
GUS, and SO he watched the man. When
he was reached by the conductor and
asked for his ticket he said he had
given it up; but the conductor denied it,
and, after deal Of alteration the man
pulled some silver out of his pocket
and was about to pay his fare, when he
suddenly said--producing small pieco
of tlcket-that he could prove that he
had given up his ticket, because he re.
membcred playing with it in the train
and tearing of small piece, and that
IL the conductor looked he would find q
ticket with piece torn off. On looking,
the conductor found ticket with q
piece torn of, and, of course, accepted
~ mans statement.
The Dcspa3@ Coal hIino.
Very few people, in looking at the
dusky diamonds as they lay upon tho
fire, know of the effort and the danger
that surrounds the individual who plies
his vocation in digging the same, as the
mines are under ground, and some very
deep. The deepest one in America is
in Pottsville, Pa. Tho shaft is 1876
feet deep. From It's bottom, almost
third of milo down, 2o6 cars, holding
four tons each, are lifted every day.
They are run upon platform, and the
whole weight of six tons is hoisted at
speed that makes tho head swim, the
time occupied in lifting full car being
little moro than minute. The hoist
ing and lowering of men into coal mines
is regulated by law, and only ten can
stand on tho platform at once, under
penalty Of heavy fine.

Tho Affecting Way in Which She Cheered

VINO were the reverse or generous, and
In herself She was, it may be added, tho
flower of their qualities She had an
excellent husband, but he was stricken
down with pneumonia, and ono
morning the physician in charge an
nounccd to the weeping wife that no
could live only few hours at most. In
her way Mrs. w. was fond of hcr hus-
band, and she was greatly affected by
the verdict which announced her ap-
preaching separation from him. Tho
scene between her and her husband was
affecting in the extreme, and the nurse,
who was present in the background, was
moved to tears by the agonized fervor of
Mrs. W.'sgrfef.
George" the weeping wife said at
last, what clothes do you want to have
on when-when-"
Tears chokcd her utterance, and her
husband feebly murmurcd that it did
not matter to him any more how he was
arrayed.
''Then you won't mind, dearest" she
said, between her sobs, "if we put on
your old pants? The new ones haven't
been worn but once, and we can send
them back to the tailor, and no one will
notice what sort of pants you have on
in the ecof-cof-coffin."
Dear George was too far gone either
to care what trousers were used for tho
arraying of his remains for tho tomb or
to appreciate the perfection of his wife's
economy. He simply moaned and gave
up the ghost, leaving his wife free to
practice any economical device which
should occur to her frugal mind in the
arrangements which followed in doleful
sequence

TIE FoRr KoRTH CONTENTION

If your town is dull and your boarding houses
down in the mouth why don't you call a con-
yention to meet with you and give you ift?-
The above is evidently direct thrust at Fort
Worth, from the fact that the chamber of CO M
merce OF that city has issued call for a con-
vention of all Texans interested in manufactur-
ing and mercantile enterprises in the state.
This convention is going to prove a big benefit
to the state, and all live, energetic towns will be
represented.-Tyler Democrat and Reporter.
Fort Worth is accustomed to such CO.
operation from certain newspapers. The
manufacturing or business mans con-
vention is intended to inaugurate
movement beneficial to all the state.
The convention was compelled to meet
somewhere, and as Fort Worth Is
leader in public movements and as this
movement originated here it was natural
the convention was called to meet here.
There is no localism in the movement,
and opposition TO it from dis9run tied
newspapers is unworthy of Texas.
