Charles Herrick, who has been attending
the business college in Albany, n. Y, re-
turned last week. John Wilder, trleno,
came with him.
On the 18th inst, Lucinda Hitchcock,
widow of the late Aaron Burba, passed
away quietly, aged "a years, 20 days she
was born in Westminster, and was one OF
a family of sixteen children, eight OF
whom lived to be over eighty years OF age
and several over ninety. In Jan. 1871, TWO
days before she was nineteen, she married
Mr.. Burba, and a few weeks later the
newly welded pair came to this town ana
located on the n. Hill, within the radius
of about mile of where their first house
stood, and lived there ever after Eight
children were born to them, two of whom
are living, Mrs. Catherine Lurette and
Mrs. FL. E. Bedell. The older people here
well remember the death of the two sons,
Elisha and David, which occurred in the
summer of 1916; the young men went
bathing in the mill pond one afternoon,
and. were drowned. The spring following
this sad event, two of the daughters died,
so that the bereaved parents buried four
children within year. In 1872, after more
than fifty years of welded life, Mr.. Burba
died. Mrs. Burba endured much sorrow.
She was the last of her fathers family, she
buried her husband and six children, she
outlived her day and generation, but she
bore up bravely under it and retained
remarkable vigor of mind and body for
one of her years. She could repeat with
great accuracy selections of scriptures and
cd iY,b or no
woman of great Industry, held in high re-
spect by her neighbors and friends. She
was one of whom it might truly be said,
''She hath done what she could.'' She
united with the Cong. church here in 1925,
and was a faithful member and an earnest
Christian for nearly seventy-one years. She
was the oldest member of the church, both
in age and mem bership at the time of her
death. Her death was the result of old
age, but her last illness was short and the
end quiet and peaceful. For many years
she had lived with her son-in-law, Dea.
M. c. Hitchcock, and the funeral was held
at Dea. Hitchcocks residence on the after
noon .of the 18th inst, her pastor, Rev.
Lewis P. Atwood, officiating. ''Blessed
are the dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labors and their
works do follow them"

THE SILVER BADGE.
Design of Sixteen to One Daisy Has
Been Patented.


A design has been submitted to tho
patent office and q copyright asked
thereon for floral emblem to be worn
by the adherents of the free silver plan.
The final issue of the papers has not
been made, but under the rules of the
patent Office, the design is sufficiently
protected to prevent misuse.
The emblem is in the form of the
common field daisy, with 16 petals, each
numbered on the tip, from one to six
teen, and the yellow center marked with
a figure one.
The adoption of the scheme is under
consideration by the leading silver men
now in Washington, and a determined
effort will be made to get resolution
through the Chicago convention for the
adoption of the button by the adherents
of the party and to make it as official in
its character as the pampas grass en-
blem, which Mr.. Hama suggests be
adopted as the official floral emblem
of the republican party, aud which the
silver men claim, does not convey any
idea but that of the national colors-
red, white and blue-and grows in but
one section of the country, while tile
flower that is their emblem grows from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.

TO PRESERVE MEMORIAL DAY.
old soldiers Favor Radical Change In
IT'S Observance.

Old Soldiers Favor Radical Snange In
IT'S Observance.
The question OF celebrating Mem
orial day was discussed at the meeting
of the Cook County Memorial associa-
ton at the Sherman house the other
evening.
Most of the members favor a radical
change in the manner of carrying on
the celebration and protest strongly
against what they term p dissertation
of what should be a day set aside for
the memory of the old soldier.
Yet some of them feel that while they
themselves make too much demonstra-
ton and show in the way of parades and
the like, they cannot consistently call
upon the public to observe the day in
a more suitable manner.
For this reason action VIII be taken,
it is said, to simplify the observance of
the day as much as possible, first by the
G. A. r. members themselves, after
which they will call upon the public to
do likewise. To this end Comrade III.
E. Gerry introduced an amendment to
the constitution which will be acted
upon next year. The amendment linn
its the participants in the Decoration
day parade to the regular army, nation
al guard, and the Sons of Veterans and
G. A. r., thereby shuttingbout all civic
organizations. A. j. Burbank intro
duced a resolution, which was passed,
calling attention to the origin Of Memo
rial day as a day for cherishing the
memory of the honored dead and pro-
testing against the thoughtlessness
with which the day is characterized by
so many of the people and turned into
a day of pleasure-seeking, perversion
not intended by those who framed the
law. The resolutions further asked of
the public thoughtful consideration
of the question of the observance of
Memorial day. Besides the passing of
these resolutions the reports of officers
were read for the past year. C. E. Sim
clair was elected trustee for five years,
and the meeting adjourned sine die.

LUCK OF SERGT. HOGAN.
After Fourteen Years in the Army He
Falls Heir to a Fortune.


After IA years of faithful work as an
enlisted man in the United States army,
Sergt. John Z. Hogan, of Battery G.,
First artillery, has come into a fortune
Of 100000, and now thinks of leaving
the service. Sergt. Hogan is stationed
at Fort Wadsworth. A personal in q
paper here asked for information as
to the whereabouts of "John E. Hogan.
formerly of Dallas, Tex" He responded
in person and at hotel found a lawyer
from the west who informed him that
land in Texas to the value OF about
100000 was waiting to be divided be-
tween him and sister. Hogan remem-
bered that years ago his father had
some land near Dallas, which had been
squatted upon and the title to which
was in litigation. His father died and
he had not heard from his family in
years. 1t seems that the title to the
land, after suits leading up to the SUI
preme court, had been decided in favor
of the Hogans. Capt. Hubble, who COM
mands the battery, said: "Well, it is
good luck for Hogan, but bad luck
for me. He gets $500, 900, but lose a
splendid first sergeant"

Two teams were being loaded with
The mason's debris that had so long OBJ
structed Illinois street. When the
wagons were loaded the teams started
east and turned into Dearborn avenue,
the boss going one way and the teams
the other. 1t was nearly six o'clock
and the dumping grounds were at a
considerable distance.
The moment the boss was out OF
sight the teams returned. The re
spective drivers dumped the loads on
the heap from which they had been
taken few moments before and then
drove off with their empty wagons.
