A Fitting b

David L. s. Barker. returned Monday
from Bedford, Ind, after having fulfill
ed that saddest of all MISSIONS. attend
ing to the burial of his beloved wife.
He is naturally deeply sympathetic
man, and his heart is bowed down with
grief. His mother and sister. Mrs. Rob-
ert and Miss Violet, remained at his
home during his absence. and with the
assistance of kind friends, have done ev-
erything possible to tighten the dark
and sorrowful hour.
The following beautiful obituary is
found in the Mail, of Bedford, Ind,
where the deceased spent her girlhood
days:
MARY GLOVER Barker.
Mary Glover was born at the old "Glo-
yer homestead" near Bedford, Apr. 5th,
1858. She died at Neihart, Mont. Nov.
9Th, 1896.
Mary was a bright and interesting
child, and idol of her parents, and found
her way to the hearts of all who knew
her. She was trained in the common
schools of Bedford, graduating from the
high school in the class of 1877, under
Prof. J. H. Madden. She soon after be-
came Il teacher in the same school, and
developed Il peculiar fitness for primary
work. Her love of children sOon attract
ed the little ones to her, and having won
their confidence, the approach to their
budding intellects was easy. Through
the love of children she reached the es-
TEEN of the parents and patrons of the
school, and perhaps no young lady of
Bedford had a wider or more enviable
acquaintance than she. Her reputation
as u teacher became such that she was in
duced to accept a position I'M Montana
where she became acquainted with Dav-
ia l.. s. Barker, a mine W IL Of Neihart,
.to.whom she was married Oct. 20, 1891.
By this happy uniofr4--her-- husband was
brought into the circle of ~iler Bedford
friends, and all anticipated for them a
long and happy life. But lie whom she
loved intended otherwise, and she was
suddenly called-fTom her mountain home
70 the evergreen hills of the faraway land.
With C. tender love, her heartIroken hus-
band, remembering the fond mother and
the friends at 'home," took up the cask-
ct containing the case Of the jewel, and.
brought it to Bedford. After fitting SER
vices at the "Old homestead" the friends
whom she had loved bore it to the
screen Hill" and laid it away wreathed
in flowers brought by loving hands.

And put them all to fight.

Governor Budd Wants California to
Rejoice
And Observe the Semi-centennial Anniversary
of the Raising of the Flag by Commo-

when they read the proclamation that

Governor Budd evidently not only re
allies that days of relaxation are es-

in the history of the state in every way
worthy of commenoration. OF these the
uplifting by Commodore Sloat, U. S. N.
at Monterey, in 1916, of the flag of the,
union, is one of the most notable. The
proclamation of the governor drawing
attention to this is as follows:
On July Z, A. D., 1916, Commodore
Sloat U. S. N, in the name of the United
States of America, raised the flag of our
union at Monterey, Cal, and occupied
the territory under claim of the national
government.
July Z, A. D., 1896, makes the semi
centennial anniversary of this most i'm
portant event in the history of our state,
and should be set apart as a day Of re-
joicing by our people.
Now, therefore, /, James H. Budd gov
ernor of the state of California, by vir-
tue of the authority vested in me by the
constitution and laws of said state, do
hereby proclaim Tuesday, the seventh
day of July, a. D., 1896, holiday.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
of this state to be hereunto affixed, this

THE POSTAL DELIVERY
The Temporary Carriers Confirmed From
Washington

Washington
The efforts put forward by Gen. Math-
ews to obtain better postal service for
this city are resulting in somewhat slow
but favorable action at Washington.
The appointments of the three tempo
rary carriers have been confirmed by a
dispatch, and the postmaster is hoping
that the additional five carriers asked
for may be allowed by the authorities
in letters which are now en- route.
The constant extension of the resi-
dental portions of the city calls for a
more elaborate delivery system, and this
can only be carried out with the assist
ance of additional help. That this may
be granted is what Gen. Mathews is
working for, and so far with a measure
Of success.
