1t is always best to "keep cool,''
whether you are discussing politics
or the late circus episode. In almost
every case after you have gathered
a crowd about you and given vent to
your wrath and temper, when you
are alone and reflect upon the event,
you realize what long cared animal
you have made of yourself and feel
as if you would be very much re-
lieved should a small boy boot you
across the street and back again. AS
we said at the start, it is always best
to keep COOL"
Miss Ina Baker, eldest daughter of
James Baker, of this town, died at
the home of her aunt, in Wolcott,
last Saturday of consumption. De-
ceased was a young lady of fine char
acter and a loving and devoted
daughter. In poor health a long
time, she bore her sufferings patient
ly and without murmuring. Besides
her father, she leaves several brothers
and sisters to mourn her loss. The
funeral was held Monday, Rev. Mr..
Seymour, of Morrisvilla, a member
of whose church she was, preaching
the sermon. A quartette from the
same church furnished the music.
Benjamin n Gates, one of our re-
spected townsmen, died Sunday
morning last of apoplexy, after an
illness of five days, aged 63 years.
Although not in the best of health
he was able 30 be about the preced-
ing Monday, when he retired as usu-
al. During the night he was strick-
en- and although conscious at times
never rallied from the shock. Mr..
Gates was the only son of Brigham
Gates and was born in Morristown
in 1880. His father removed to this
town when Ben amin was a child and
the latter has resided here ever since.
For several years he lived in Centre
vile and when Town Clerk lived in
this village and kept store. Of late
years he has resided on his farm,
about two and half miles from the
village. He is survived by his wife,
Della Whittier, and one son, Leo.
Mr.. Gates was a quiet and unassum-
ing man, attended to his own affairs,
and was held in high regard by his
townspeople. For many years he was
Town Clerk and Constable and served
his town faithfully. The funeral,
which took place from his late resi-
dence Tuesday afternoon, was large
ly attended. Rev. E. 2. Seymour of
Morrisville officiated.
We have before US the annual an
nouncement issued by tie National
Homeopathic Medical College, of
Chicago, for 1898, and it affords US
serious food for reflection. Something
less than eight years ago Gov. Page
bad in his hide house a young man
who was at work to obtain the neces-
sary funds to enable him to pursue
a course of study at "a medical college
His parents who resided in this vii
lage were poor and unable to afford
him any assistance whatever, but
with that commendable energy which
shows the stuff of which some men
are made, he struck out one morning
for Bos5c@- aud made application,
as assistant at the Mas
sachusetts General Hospital. There
he made himself so useful that in a
short time he was earning funds
enough to supplement his little accu-
at the hide house to such
an extent that he pursued there his
course. That finished he
started for Chicago where he attended
the medical college and hung out his
shingle as an. D." He soon found
himself with a large and lucrative
practice among the best of Chicago's
citizens. Following his upward
course, we return to the first sentence
of this article to say, that in the an
of the college to which
we there referred we find, as the head
of board of thirty-five faculty and
the name of this young
man, who there appears as ELMER E.
Vaughan, M. d., Professor of Descrip-
tive and Surgical Anatomy" But
this is not all. He seems to have de-
veloped an excellent business as we'll
as medical faculty, for at the end of
the college calendar We find this sig
announcement "All CORES
pondence should be addressed to the
registrar, Prof. E. E. Vaughan, Md"
1t is unnecessary to say that the ad-
mirers of energy and enterprise every
where rejoice over records of this
kind, and the friends of the young
man here who knew of his early
struggles will be especially pleased to
learn of his phenomenal success.
FoREPAUGH SETTLES UP.-Mr. W.
Powley, general manager for Adam
Eorepaugh, came to this place last
and effected a settlement
with Officers Stevens, Town and
Waite for the injuries they received
in performing their duties at the cir
Gus last week. The amount the men
received is not positively known, but
it is rumored that Waite gets $500,
and Stevens and Town $500 each.
This may be true and it may not.
At any rate, whatever the amount,
the settlement is satisfactory to all
Mr.. Powley also paid
the fines and costs of the thirteen
men arrested, which, we understand,
was $50 each, amounting in all to |
$500. After paying the costs and |
satisfying the lawyers who worked |
the case, the balance will go to the
town of Morristown, where the show |
was held. Mr.. Eorepaugh from the
start has manifested sincere regret |
Tor the unfortunate affair, and by
his manager here to effect
a settlement has proved that, while
his men were at fault in
and resisting the officers,
ne desired to have no prolonged con-
5roversy over the affair. Mr.. Powley
Vas very gentlemanly and through
lim was brought about very salts
