Mrs. II. II. Smith.

The subject Of this sketch, the wife
of our well known townsman,' r. r.
Smith, was born near the town of
New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. IA, 1929.
Her maiden name waa Julia a.
Stelle. On her eighteenth birthday
ahe was married 70. Ms. Smith and y !

came to Worthington in 1879.
Mrs. Smith has long been an inva-
lid, confined almost constantly to
the house, during latter years, but
nevertheless had a wide circle of
friends. Those who knew her in her
younger days remember her as a bril-.
tiant young woman of great promise,
| and although she has been great
sufferer physically yet she has been
Identified with church enterprise and
other good work, and in an energetic
and successful way.
Mrs. Smith had a strong religious
nature and was a very efficient work
or especially in Minneapolis and Far
ibault and her interest in religious
matters never tagged in later years
though set aside from active labor.
She was a firm believer in the tenets
of the Baptist church, yet was low
ing toward and interested in the
work of other denominations, among
whom she had many warm friends.
He last illness was buta few days

Mr.. James first took a cold while
working on the new store building
of A. N. Cheney's at Reading,
Mimi, January 18th. While driv-
ing nails on the roof his hands be-
came very cold, going to a hot stove
and while warming his hand felt a
sharp pain run to his lungs. He
came home and was Immediately
confied to the bed with lung fever
from which he recovered sufficiently
to get up. Sunday the 2lst, he had
a relapse, the fever tnrning to pneu-
monia. After the relapse he was very
sick and finally succumbed to the in
evitable.
Nh. James was we'll known through

his custom every fall to operate a
threshing machine. He was indus
trious and ambitious, never content
at being idle. He was a man of
good character and bore an excellent

Left their Mark.

Two men from the vicinity of Ad-
rian, named Daniel Sullivan and ].
A. Beacon visited Worthington
Wednesday, became intoxicated and
ran up against an officer.
The parties above named were in
the City Bakery restaurant for their
supper and while there were some-
what boisterous, using profane Ian
guage within the hearing of ladies
and it was with difficulty that Mr..
Darby was able to keep them quiet.
After supper they went out on the
street and were observed by Officer
Rushon. Using profane and obscene
language they were requested to
keep quiet which caused them to
break forth in similar language and
abusive. Mr.. Rushon then placed
them under arrest and started for
the lookup, meeting Judge Cory in
front of MorIand's drug store, ono
Eof them knowing him stopped to
talk and they objected going father
with the officer. Either of tho men
! zlIsl 4hsso Land being
two Of them he called J.. j. Corbett
to his assistance. Beacon Offering
strong resistance was hit over the
head with the officers billy, but a
threat Quoted Sullivan. The blow
on Beacon cut a cash about the
head, so that the blood ran consider.
able and left their trail on the side
walk for block, but they were land
ed at the cooler, after which it
was arranged that Judge Cory
would be good for $40 for their ap.
pearance. in court. Up to time OF
going too press they have not ap.
peared. It is reported that several
stitches were taken in Beacom's
scalp but we are unable to confirm
it.
From what can be learned the men
should have been severely punished
for their conduct. There is no doub,
but what Officer Rushon has always
endeavored to do his full duty and
did this time, but there are times
when he is absent from 10th street,
that ladies and those who abhor pro.
fame language, are forced to hear the
most vile language used, uttered by
some intoxicated person and there
seems to be no way to prevent it, O,
at least it is not prevented. If "a.
looms are to be permitted to thrive
without taking care of their patrons
from infringing on the rights of othe,
people, an officer should be located
on 10th street in the saloon district
and keep intoxicated men off the
street.

ton College serving mainly on the
examining committee. On his re.
tirement the Board did him the un.
usual honor Of retaining him in an
honory relation to the time of his
death. A great comfort to him in
bis last years has been the respect
and affectionate interest which fol.
lowed him from every field in which
he had labored. A characteristic OF
his work was always a strong inter.
est in the young people of his parish.
From these as they have grown to
maturity were constantly coming to
him tokens of the affection which he
had inspired.
To be of service was his strongest
ambition and the cloud of witnesses
who testify to his success offer bis
best eulogy.
