OBITUARY..

DAUM Died at her residence In
Meeker, Colo, on Tuesday, April 25,
1880, at 9:20 .. M. Mrs. Martha Daum,
wife Of Mr.. John Dsum, in the 66th
year Of her age. ~
Since moving to town over q year and
half ago. Mrs. Daum has been an In
valid, confined to her home most of
the time. During the past winter and
spring, her illness took on painful and
distressing form which required the
constant care of her faithful husband
and family. For months some member
of the family was at her bedside night
and day and nothing was left undone
that would ease her pains or prolopg
her life.
Although suffering for years from a
complication Of kidney troubles, the i'm
mediate cause of Mrs. Daum's death
was paralysis. Originally Of a strong
constitution, her afflictions had taken
such firm hold Of her before she went
under regular medical treatment that
1t was then too late to stop the ravages
Of disease, and she kept growing weaker
until the Grim Reaper relieved her of
her suf1erings.
Deceased, accompanied by her hus-
band and family, come to this valley
in 's5 and located on North Elk creek,
where Mr.. Daum engaged in the ranch
and cattle business until the failing
health of both himself and wife caused
him to sell his fine place and move to
town.
Mrs. Daum was the mother of seven n
children, six Of whom survive her =
four. sons and two daughters,
and all are full grown. OF these,
John, Lawrence and Henry. and the
youngest daughter, Mrs. Ewin Amick,
together with the aged husband and
father, paid the last tokens of respect
and followed the remains TO the grave
in Highland cemetery on Wednesday
afternoon last.
Deceased was held in much respect
and esteem by all who knew her. and
her funeral was ono Of largest and best
appointed ever seen In Meeker, large
numbers Of former neighbors and
friends coming from q distance to pay
respect to the dead and condole with
the bereayed family.
The funeral services were held ut
the Methodist church, conducted by
Rev. MIR. John.

them. The county is now in a pros

At a recent meeting OF the jackson

protesting against undue haste man

the transaction Of the business of the
Circuit court, and charging that he
has Sin several instances adjourned
the court before the business has been
completed. The discharge OF all
the petit jurors on the 3rd day OF the
August term is specifically referred to
having been done, the resolutions say,
against the wishes and protests Of
members Of the bar and in face of the
fact that jury trials were set for the
fourth day. The members of the
bar protest against such a policy s'as
unfair TO the bar, burdensome to liti-
giants by delaying their cases and piling
up unnecessary costs; unjust TO wit
nesses by needlessly compelling their
attendance, to the detriment of their
own business: unreasonable toward the
clerk and dangerous toward suitors by
signing up the records, adjourning

LEASES WILL Be GRANTED
WAHIAWA TO GO TO CALIFORNIA
SETTLERS.
Cabinet Decides the Matter This Morn
ing-Kahului Wharf-Bonds for New
Sewerage System.

At the cabinet session this morning
it was decided to call for tenders for
bonds for putting i'm the new sewerage
system, as provided by the last legis-
lature. This will be done at once.
The matter of extending the wharf at
Kahului, Maui, came up for discussion.
1t is proposed by the Interior Depart
ment to make the wharf there $50 long.
1t is now 21O No conclusion was ar
rived at, though it is practically set
tied that the improvement will be au-
thorzed.
A petition from the colony of South
ern California agriculturists for leases
of the lands known as Wahiawa above
Pearl City, was acted upon favorably.
The settlers will be given the leases
they desire with the right of purchase
later.
Wahiawa is on the high table land
between Eva and Waialua, opposite
the Leilehua ranch on the Waialua
road. The whole tract has been sur
veyed, plotted and divided between
the members of the colony, of whom
fourteen are men. All are married ex-
cept one. They are all experienced in
fruit growing and agriculture and hor-
ticulture in all their branches.
The colony proposes establishing a
reservation in the middle of the tract
1t is proposed to experiment there in
the cultivation of all fruits grown in
California, and the settlers believe that
all will flourish in this climate.
The cabinet thought most favorably
of the project. President Dole and
Attorney General Smith, who looked
over the place last Thursday, recon-
mended that the petition be granted
On motion the land department was
authorized to act in the matter. Wa
hiawa formerly belonged to the board
of education, but was year or two age
turned over to the government.

THE PROS AND CONS OF CREMA.
TION

In regard to the objection raised
against cremation by members of the
medical and legal profession that poi
son cannot be detected in the ashes,
DR.. Louis Windmuller says that this
view is now generally abandoned, and
considers that in suspicious cases in
testines might be preserved before the
rest of the corpse is consigned to the
furnace, but that in any case fire will
scarcely consume a mineral poison.
Here the writer seems, the Lancet
thinks, to underrate the heat of the
furnace usually employed, under which
many minerals would certainly be vol
utilised. If objections of this kind
are, however, raised, they apply equ-
ally to earth burial; apparently to in
sure his safety a murderer has only to
say that when mineral poison is found
in the stomach of a disinterred body
which has been embalmed, it cannot be
considered conclusive proof of crime,
because the fluid injected into such
bodies usually contains arsenic.

A Strange Marriage Custom,

1t was an old idea that husband,
whose wife at her marriage was cloth
ed only in a sheet, or in the most ele-
mentary linen garment, was not in any
way liable for the debts previously
contracted by her. Our parish regis
tiers and local traditions give us ample
illustrations of this quaint idea. At
Chiltern All Saints, Wiltshire, Is the
following entry: John Bridmore and
Anne Selwood were married October
18th, TIA, the aforesaid Anne Selwood
was married in her smock, without any
clothes or headgier on" Similar cases
occurred at Gorton Green in 1888, at
ton-under-Lyne in 1771, and at Of
ley in 1908.
The latest example of which the
present writer knows comes from Lin
colnshire. The register of Gedney has
this commonplace entry: Dec. End,
1912, David Wilkinson, full age, bache-
lor, laborour, Of Gedney," to "Susan
Farran, full age, widow, of Gedney."
Local tradition supplements this brief
account by relating that the bride was
dressed in sheet, stitched about her.

Sam Houston and His COrns.

Professor Hiram Corson of Cornell
university, who used to be reporter
for the United States senate, tells this
story about Sam Houston: 1--WE re-
porters took turn and turn about each
for an hour. One day l was sitting
idly In the reporters gallery, waiting
my turn and looking on. Presently my
attention was drawn by Senator Hous-
ton. Huge Of frame, he was particu-
larry huge Of feet, and those eXtremi-
ties were rendered the more cOnspicu-
Gus in those days Of boots by being
incased in laced shoes. On this Occa-
sion there seemed to be an amount of
pain in those feet proportionate to
their size.
1.-THE senator kept one upon his
knee, rubbing it, with an anguished
expression and periodically exchang-
ing for the other foot. After awhile he
unlaeed his shoes and drew them off.
Then the nursing Of his aching toes
continued for time as before. But no
relief came, and at last, to my utter
amazement and amusement, he slowly
Invested himself of long blue wooden
stocking, and, taking the huge jack
knife with which he was wont to pass
the time whiting, he proceeded de-
liberately to pare his corns in the SEN
ate Of the United States"

But He Mnde a Good Officer.

Some 90 or % years ago a gentleman
Of this place was elected constable, and
although he had no opposition his nerv-
BUSINESS as to the result was quite no.
ticeable all during the day. After the
polls closed and he was declared elect
ed he HE'D him to the river bank,
In the meantime having armed himself
with an old pepper box pistol, one Of
the earliest patterns of the revolver,
and shortly after was heard to go
through this colloquy with some one
unseen. Pointing his pistol at n syca-
more tree he exclaimed in dignified
and dramatic style:
Halt! l am constable of this dis
trict and command you to halt. You
won't, eh? Well, here goes"-bang! 81
hate to do it, but 1t is in the discharge
Of my official duty. Now, told you
to stop, but you ouldn't"-bang! Just
then the old pepper box became I'M
manageable and bang, bang, bang,
bang went the remaining four loads.
The firing soon attracted q crowd and
the tree was thus saved.
But, notwithstanding the episode of
the sycamore and the scars it still
shows, the gentleman is said to have
made n good officer.-Hazlegreen Ky.)
