Another Pioneer Passes Away.

Mrs. Andrew Foster died at the
home of her son Julian in Salem on
Wednesday morning, Dec. 9, 1896,
aged Sc years.
Prudence Cornwell was born in Mar
cillus, n. Y, June IL, 1908 When 5
years old her parents removed to Han
nibal, N. Y, where she continued to
reside until she came with her husband
to Wisconsin. She was married to
Andrew William Foster in Hannibal.
N. Y, July 4, 1880, when she was %
years of age. Mr.. Foster came with
his family to Wisconsin in 184l and
settled in the town of Salem, which has
ever since been their home. Mr. Foster
died Jan. 4, 1892, aged So years. Their
children numbered six, five of whom
are living, viz: Mrs. Alkaline Basset;
Mrs. Betsey Plank California; Andrew
Foster, Genoa, Wis; Orlando Foster,
Silver Lake; Julian Foster, Salem.
Her long residence, fftyfve years, in
the town of Salem, gave her wide &C
quaintance and she was universally
held in high esteem and respect. She
was of retiring disposition, but al
ways helpful and kindly. The fra
GRANGE of her life came from the never
failing devotion to her duties as wife,
mother, neighbor and friend. Her re-
ligion was always to do right. The
last nine days of her life she grew rap
idly weaker and suffered severe pain.
Her sons and their wives ministered at
her bedside with loving sOlicitude, and
up to the day before she died was able
to converse with them and knew them
all and expressed herself as being
ready and willing to go.
The funeral was held in the Metho-
dist church, Salem, at 1:30 p. m. on
Friday, the services being conducted
by the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Davidson. The
text taken for the funeral sermon was
from the prophet Isaiah: Set thy
house in order, for thou shalt die and
not live." Her remains were laid to
rest beside those of her husband IN the
little cemetery not far from her old

A SMALL SUNDAY ROW.
Some Unspeakables Get Into Scrap and
Do UP Man.

Do Up Man.
Peter Tommeschin was the object of
a great deal of maltreatment Sunday
evening, that just left him in possess
sion of his life. The injuries sustained
by Mr.. Tommeschin were the result of
kind of free for all fight that occurred
at the home Of John Kroraby, in the
rear of Mr.. Kroose's house on Broad
street. Peter Trnoseky, John Koam-
andek and Peter Tommeschin stepped
into John Kroraby's at his inv itation
to indulge in a little social
drink. About s o'clock in the
evening after several rounds the men
became quarrelsome and an old score
was brought up that precipitated the
fight In minute the three men were
mixed up in a rough and tumble
fight that strewed the floor with
milk, beer, glass, cheese and other
paraphernalia of the feast. Mr.. Kror-
ably attempted to separate the COM
batants, but only got blow for his
pains. The two men, Trnoseky and
Koamandek, were both at work drub
bing Tommeschin. Seeing that some
thing must be done soon in order to
save the belabored man, ran into the
street for a policeman. Before going
far he passed Officer Feldschau and es-
corted him to the field of action. The
officer soon put an end to the affair by
putting them all under arrest. There
proved one more than he could handle,
however, and Tommeschin, or what
was left of him, managed to get away.
Trnoseky and Koamandek are repent
ing at leisure at the county jail.

PLAYED TRICKS ON DRUGGISTS
Cocaine Fiend Works a Couple of Pill
Mixers.

A couple of our druggists have been
taken in on neat little scheme. A
man who appeared like a laborer
dropped into drug store and asked
for certain brand of catarrh cure.
This being handed down he ordered
the druggist to put up some sort of a
prescription. While busy putting up
the prescription the fellow took the ca
tarrh remedy out of it's wrapper and
substituted an empty bottle, and telling
the druggist he would be back soon,
skipped out. Of course the trick was
not discovered for some time after the
man had disappeared. The trick was
played in Waukegan and in Racine.
1t is believed that the fellow was a
cocaine fiend and that he pursued this
method of securing his fa7orite drug.

the loss. 1t was fully insured
The fire was discovered by the night

ing in the ceiling over the elevator
shaft. An alarm was at once turned
