Obituary.
MRS. Z. A. PEARSON.

DIED: August 8, at 7:25 p. M, 1898,
at the residence of her son, l.. b. Pear
son. in Salem township in Allen coun-
ty, Kansas. Eliza Ann Harmon Pear
son, aged Sc years, 5 months and day.
She was born i'm Jefferson county,
New York, March Z, 1907. AT seven
years she was converted in series of
children's meetings held by the chill
dren of the neighborhOod and conduct
ed entirely by themselves, in which
nearly every one taking part was also
converted. At eleven years she joined
the Baptist church and was steady,
faithful member of that church for 40
years, or until her death. Her father,
David Harmon, was of Puritan extrac-
ton and her mother of the old Penn
sylvania Dutch blood. They were
among the earliest pioneers of north
ern New York.
On October IL, 1925, she was married
to Ira Pearson at Henderson, Jefferson
county, n. Y. Seven children were
born to them, five boys and two girls.
Four of the boys were i'm the Union
army, three of whom gave their lives
that the Nation might live. One son
and daughter survive her.
She came from Downer's Grove, ILL.,,
to Kansas in 1884, and since then has
resided with her son, where her de-
clining years have been made glad by
the loving care of children and grand
children. She is the eighth to die of
eleven brothes and sisters, all of whom
attained to a ripe old age, her oldest
brother dying only a few months ago
past 80. Her christian faith was a
light that burned with a steady and
increasing light unto the perfect day.
For two or three days before she died
she called frequently on those who had
gone before to come and help her over
the river. She died as one going to
sleep; a smile lighted up her counte-
nance as if her wish had been granted.
She had been sick over three months
and half. and often wished the sum-
mons might come, but still was re-
signed to the will of her heavenly
Father. Loving hands almest filled
her easket with flowers, of which she
was great lover.
She was buried in the Salem ceme-
terry August 8, 1893.

Nearly all the farmers are making

part of the county since our last writ

SILVER RUN, Md, Aug. 8,

SILVER KUN, Mo-, Aug. u, W
DEAR REGISTER - According to
promise, will try to pen few lines
in order to let my Kansas friends, es-
peeially the readers of the REGISTER,
know "where am at" and what am
doing.
Well, am not doing anything but
eat and sleep and enjoy myself. 1
really don't know what effect it will
have on me for the future-it may
make me lazy. Since last wrote 1
have been on an excursion to Bay
Ridge, which is a pleasure resort on
the west shore of the Chesapeake Bay,
about forty miles from Baltimore. AS
everyone kows, Baltimore is the me-
tropolis of Maryland, and it is not be-
hind the times in modern improve
mems, such as under ground railroads,
and cable and electric street cars.
We went to Bay Ridge by boat from
Light street wharf, passing Federal
Hill and Fort MeHenry, and many
other places of renown. We reached
our destination, and after a picnic
dinner we took ride around the
grounds on the electric cars and looked
awhile at the bathers in the bay. We
learned that we could go to Annapolis
before our boat would return. So a
party of us went to see the capitol of
our native State for the first time, and
in order to see the city we went to the
dome of the Capitol building and we
were surprised at the littleness of the
place. Were it not for the u. S. Ma
al Academy it would not be larger
than lola. They showed us small
brick house in which Congress once
met. / cannot tell what your best
history tells. The city is laid off as
though the Capitol building was the
hub of a wheel and the streets the
spokes. Uncle Sam keeps his grounds
at the Academy in splendid order.
Annapolis is in Anne Arundel coun-
ty and the principal crops raised here
are sweet potatoes, melons and canta-
lopes, the soil being very sandy.
At Bay Ridge we saw them catching
crabbs. We noticed a gentleman
empty one out of his net onto board
walk and as soon as it struck the walk
it ran for the water when lady put
her foot on it, then dexterOusly took
hold of it with her dainty fingers and
put it into a basket with lid on it.
thought to myself an lola girl would
have run away from it. We did not
get quite far enough to see the oyster
beds, although at Annapolis they ma
cadamize the streets with oyster shells.
At o'clock in the evening our boat
was ready to return to Baltimore. AS
the boat had made two trips from Bal
timore that day there was govern
ment officer there to see that the boat
did not overload its capacity. 1 heard
some say there were about $500 pas
sengers, and they were all as jolly as
could be. 1t was Lutheran Reunion
Day from Baltimore and Washington.

Allen County Convention of w. C.T.U.

| ". Z.
The county convention held at the
NJ. L. church on Tuesday and We'd
nesday of last week was considered a
very successful and profitable one,
there being but one on the program
that failed to respond. The papers
stating the necessity and aim of the
several departments of work and re-
ports of work accomplished,-were
read by the Superintendent of each
department, and brought many good
thoughts; and Mrs. Smith the faithful
president of the ID district, brought
out in her School of Methods, the best
means to be used to secure successful
results along these lines. The several
lines of work discussed were EvangeI-
istic, Sabbath Observance, Temper
ance work in Sunday Schools, Infiu-
encing the Press, Anti-TObaccO, Pris-
on, Scientific Temperance, instruction
in the Public school, Literature, Work
among COlored, Petition, Peace, Mer-
cy, Juvenile work and Franchise. A
paper read by Mrs. L. J. Thayer,
Supt. of the latter department, was
the beginning of very interesting
Suffrage Conference. A Parliament
airy Drill followed, lead by Mrs.
Smith and Mrs. Picken. Humboldt
Union was represented by Mrs. /. s.
Miller and Mrs. II. r. Redfield. On
Tuesday evening paper on The
Temple was read. followed by an ad-
dress by Mrs. Smith. Dinner was
served at the church on Wednesday

Mrs. Picken. The following were
