MEMORIAL SKETCH.

There are names that need only to be
/ spoken TO bring before US pleasant memo
! ries OF the near or distant past. We seem
almost TO see the smiling countenance, to
hear the pleasant greeting, and to clasp
the friendly hand, SO readily extended.
/ Tn specially true OF our departed
sistt Harriet Judson Simonton.
wits " former pastor, Rev. j. p.
Simouton. Less than TIVE years ago they
left US for another field OF abor, expect
ing to work there for the Master so long
as the appointing power OF the East
Maine conference should designate, not
! called to go up higher.
Mrs. Simonton was born in Boot h bay,
March 10, 1919, and died at Ellsworth h,
Aug. 10, 1899. A brother, husband, two
sons and a daughter survive her.
Sister Simonton was an ideal wife fer a
minister, working faithfully with him in
all the departments OF church work. We
remember her cheeiul and inspiring testi-
monies in the prayer meeting, the interest
she stimulated in her large class OF young
ladies in the Sunday school, her success in
uperinntending the Junior League-and
who can forget who attended the Sahbat b
evening services Of the W. {. T. L, " hen
she offered the opening prayer, her sweet
face radiant with brightness a. II lighted
from Oh high.
Sue WAS modest and retiring. and yet
her moral courage and strength OF hHrec-
ter made her presence felt wherever she
was. She lived for the Masters work and
honor, and there are many who viii rise
u TO call her blessed :. In the relations Of
daug hter, sister, wife and mother she was
no less faithful.
How untiriugiy she did all in her pow
e. that her children might have such
educational advantages a. would fit them
to fill places OF responsibility in life-s
life SO sweetly and faithfully lived could
not end in darkness. For weeks she had
known that her case was considered seri-
Gus, and though suffering severely at
times she bore it with fortitude and re-
ignation-looking forward with reioic-
ing TO the rest beyond.
She said one day to her companion 1T
looks beautiful beyond, and dear ones are
with me-mother, father, sisters; how
sweet the meeting Will be- When her
pure spirit fed, the family stood around
her bed and repeated the sd Psalm. The
promise was verified to her, Though
walk through the valley of the shadow OF
death, | will fear no evil"
We feal that in her death we have lost
a useful and valued member of our Union,
a dear friend snd co-worker in the cause
OF temperance. Some writer has said :
"God buries His workmen, but carries on
His work"
So We may go forward trusting and
! hoping that some good will be accom-
plished through our humble efforts in I he
cause OF temperance and Righteousness,
and as one after another is called to lay
her armor down We may say with the
poet
"Nor sink those stars in empty night,
They hide themselves IN heavens own light"

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1899-10-06

The New York Commercial and FL
nancial World, for last week, has the
following interesting comment upon the
financial condition of the Chicago, Mil
Waukee & st. Paul road, that is also a
fattering comment upon general bust
ness conditions in the west:
"The annual report of the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad, for ex-
ample, has come to Wall street as con-
vincing token of the thoroughness of
business improvement. That the ST..
Paul Company is able to earn eleven
per cent upon its total common share
capital is of itself splendid testimony to
the business revival of the West; but
tremendously added force is given to
that testimony by the disclosure in the
st. Paul report itself that not merely
eleven per cent was earned, but that
closer to fifteen per cent was the actual
figure-so extraordinary we're the years
drafts upon operating expenses for the
permanent lettering of the property"
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1899-10-06

The elevation of Mr.. A. J. Earring
to the presidency of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul road, is conspicu-
Gus recognition of merit. and at the same
time a justification of the merit system
that prevails in that corporation. Mr..
Earling began his work for the company
as a telegraph operator and won his way
to the top by faithful and capable work.
The next man in line, General Manager
w. Ct. Collins has a similar history and
Assistant General Superintendent W. j.
Underwood and the rest of the general
officers of the operating department have
had like careers 1t is practical dem
onstration of the value of civil service
reform principles.

labor was commenced simultaneously in

the figures have been compared at

portant results are expected. After the

The Kickapoo Valley railway has been
sold to Fl. A. J. Upham of Milwaukee
holders of the receivers certificates of
the road, which were issued when the
road went into the hands of receiver in
1890 The road runs through the rich
Kickapoo valley, and there is rumor
that the Chicago & Northwestern is the
real purchaser of the line. This, how
ever, is denied by Mr.. Upham, who ad
mits the road will be taken out of the
receivership of Mr.. E. A. Wadhams of

be formed to run the line.

A farmer named Barry Hirsh, who
passed through town with lour-horse
wagon about nine o'clock Saturday night,
did not seem to be well acquainted with
the thorcughfares of the city. In turning
the corner at Public Square he must have
thought he was turning a corner at one OF
the country crossroads, for when he made
the turn the rear wheel OF the wagon
struck the large stone leaning against the
curb and the front wheel struck the
crossing plate, making further progress
impossible and breaking the coupling
pole.
The wagon was loaded with two
sleiqhs drill and other agricultural inn
elements, in fact almost all the agrIcul-
turaI implements essential to farm.
1t was Sunday morning before he had
things in shape and was prepared to
move. He finally got ready however, and
his wagon patched up and went on his
Journey through town. The long sojourn
at the principal corner of the city and at
about the busiest hour of the whole week,
caused much commotion on the street,
which was crowded with people who were
all hurry and hustle.
