DR.. Clemens Gillian.
&C. G p.

DR.. Gillihan, ane of the oldest and
best known citizens of lola, who has
held uninterrupted residence here for
nearly forty years, died Wednesday
at his home in lola. He was nearly
eighty years of age and had not been
strong for years, but the immediate
cause OF death was a cold contracted
some time age which he was unable
to throw off. The news of his death
was painful shock to his host of
friends in the city although 1t was
not altogether surprise. Funeral
services will be conducted from the
house, 2l2 North Sycamore street, this
afternoon under the auspices of
the Masonic lodge, of which he had
been a member for fifty years.
Clemens Gillian was born May 7,
1922, in Washington county, Ken
lucky. His grandfather was in the
Revolutionary war during the entire
pension until his death. His father
was in the war of 1872. Clemens was
the sou of Mark and Sarah Gillian,
both of whom died when he was II
years of age. His early education
was limited to the common schools
From the death of his parents until
he was 20 he was employed on farm.
After that time, having travelled for
several months, he began the study
of medicine with Drs. Hughs d. Mont
gomery, OF Springfield Kentucky, at
tended lectures at the st. Louis med
icsl college, and commenced the prac-
tice of medicine In lS47, in Hancock
county, Ill. He did not, however, re-
main there long, but moved to Nc
Donough county, ILL.,, and continued
the practice until 1860. He then
moved to southwestern Missouri and
took up his residence In Jasper county.
! The war coming on he was forced to
leave that section on account of his
Union sentiments and lost all the
property he had for years been ac-
curing. He then went to Ft Scott,
Kansas. Here he enlisted as a
private in Co X, 9Th Kansas cavalry,
but was soon after appointed hospital
steward of the regiment and contin-
ued in that capacity during his con-
nection with the army.
He was discharged in 1868 owing to
ill health superinduced by exposure
previous to his departure from Mis-
souri,. He did his duty at Prairie
Grove and all other places where his
regiment was engaged during his
term of service. He received his dis
charge in May, 1868 and Immediately
came to lola, Kansas, where his tam
lily then were. In politics he was
first a Wing and then a Republican
doing all that he could to promote the
interests of his party. He has moi
been an aspirant for official honors
though he had been coroner during

An Old Elsmore Problem.

There were some forty people up
from the southeast part of the county
this morning to appear before County
superintendent Billie and use their
influence for or against the PROPOSE.
ton to make a new school district
down there. The proposed district
would be comprised of portions of
Old Elsmore and districts number %,
66, 20, ~, SO and 40. A petition was
circulated for the change as there are
said to be too many children in the
Old Elsmore district for the one room
and then remonstrance was circu-
lated and received thirty-nine sig
natures. The county superintendent,
acting as referee, heard the argu-
ments of both sides.
County Superintendent Billie after
carefully looking over the ground in
person, decided this afternoon to re.
fuse the application for "A division OF
the school district near Elsmore. In
n few years, he thinks, the district
will become more populous and then
the making ofa new district will be
necessary and the expense justifiable.

EASE AND DISEASE
A Short Lesson on the Meaning of a
Familiar Word.

fdlIlllluT hOIu.
Disease is the opposite of ease.
Webster defines disease as "lack of
ease, uneasiness, trouble, vexation,
disquiet." 1t is condition due to
come arrangement of the physical
organism. A vast majority of the "dis-
ease" from which people suffer is due
to impure blood. Disease of this kind
is cured by Hoods Sarsaparillaw which
purifies, enriches and vitalizes the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparila cures scro-
fula, saltrheum. pimples and all erup.
tions. 1t tones the stomach and
creates good appetite, and it gives
vigor and vitality to the whole body
1t reverses the condition of things

Capt. Thomas III. Gard, who
left here August 18th. on the
Government Supply Boat with
supplies for the Life Saving
Station, returned on Wednesday,
23d, giving quite thrilling ex
perience of the storm. For 4S
hours he was anchored in DUR
ants Bay. but the wind and sea
increased so rapidly on Thurs
day, the 18TH, the waves swept
over his boat from stem to
stern. Seeing he was about to
lose his boat and perhaps the
lives of himself and assistant he
slipped anchor at 3 o'clock and
let the boat go. The sea was
SO strong that the inainmast
broke off. At 4 o'clock the
boat took up in bunch of live
oak trees, and at the fall of tide
was some distance from water.
Capt. 3urrus, of Durant's Sta
ton, went to his rescue but
found they were all safe. On
the 1st Capt. Gard secured help
and launched his vessel, leaving
for home with one sail. Capt.
Gard says he has never expert
enced such storm as the West
