After months of sickness and suffer-
ing Mrs. Patrick Tyrrell quietly passed
away at $3.50 Friday morning Sept. 7th,
wit number of sorrowing relatives
at her bedside. She had been confined
to the bed nearly year with cancer in
the stomach always bearing her suffer
ing with a fortitude which few have
ever had. She was taken worse from
her previous condition very early in
the morning at which time relatives
were called, and failed rapidly until
6 80 when she passed away amid prayers
and tears of her husband and children.
Her absence will be greatly felt in the
community as she was known and re.
spected by everyone, being good
mother and devout christian. She
leaves husband, one son, and five
daughters to mourn her death. The
funeral was held at St. Paul's Catholic
church, Owosso Monday at 1000 a. m,
Rev. Geo. O'Sullivan, of Gaines, cele-
brating the requiem mass, after which
the remains were placed in the Catholic
cemetery A large concourse of rela-
tives and friends followed the remains
to their last resting place, showing in
some degree the esteem in which the
departed was held. Catherine Byone
was born in Ireland seventy two years
ago, coming to America with her par
ents when quite young. Their home
was near London, Canada, where she
lived until ohortly after her marriage
to Mr.. Tyrrell, with him she moved
from Canada TO Michigan, settling in
Sbiawassee township, about forty -four
years ago, where she lived until the
time of her death. Besides her be.
reaved family, deceased leaves three
brothers, Chas. and Tobias Byone, of
this place and John Byone, of London,
Canada-Thos. Heath was at home

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

Disease is the opposite of ease. Webster
defines disease as ''lack of ease, uneasiness,
trouble, vexation, disquiet" 1t is condi-
ton due to some arrangement of the physi-
cal 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 Sarsaparila which puriies, en-
riches and vitalizes the blood. Hoods
Sarsaparlla cures scr0fula, salt rbeum,
pimples and all eruptions. 1t tones the
stomach and creates good appetite, and
II gives vigor and vitality to the whole Oody.
1t reverses the condition of things, giving
health, comfort and lease" in place OF dis
ease"

WHY HE'LL VOTE FOR FLYNN
Old Time Democrat Gives PnbIic n
New Pointer

Guthrie, o. T., July 2S.-The Kingfsher
Free Press says: Colonel Felix HeiskelI
Is an old Virginia Democrat. and never
was anything else but a Democrat He
was also brave soldier during the civil
war, and held a colonel's commission and
command In the Confederate army. He
was directly under General John 3. Cor
don between whom and himself a warm
friendship has ever since existed. In
town the other day he and his wife took
lunch with an old soldier o. V. Admire
who was on the other side. After lunch
they swapped war stories for an hour.
BY the way said Captain Admire.
Colonel. how are are you going to vote
this fall?"
"One thing is certain" said he. IF I
live 70 vote 7 shall vote for Flynn. I
voted for him cwo years ago, believing
that if any man could set free homes for
Oklahoma he could do II. He has done
so. 1 have a homestead near KieI. and
l was not able to pay S2i0 for it without
embarrassment. 1t is the home Of my
old age. I am proud Of il. and exnect TO
live upon It as long as 1 DO live. Woultn' I
I be an migrate 70 now vote against Nr.
Flynn. especially wheL politics cut so lit
tie in Oklahoma. He can't vote in con
gress-so my Democratic principles are
safe, so far as he Is concerned-and be
heve l would vote FOR him anyhow. and
Yet am as firm a believer in Democrat tic
principles as ever. 7 do not see how any
homesteader in Oklahoma could justify
his conscience by refusing 10 vote for
Flynn. am not alone in this view. The
result Of the vote win show that men
sometimes rise above politics.

FREE Of IN|SIERS
Oklahoma Hasn't Had a Tor
nado This Year.
OLD PIONEERS THEORY
That a Lower Average Tenn
perature Runs in Cycles.

Guthrie. o. fit, July 2S.-on the theory
that no news is good news. il has es-
capped public print that this year Okla
homa has not had single cyclone. The
same thing is said TO be true of this en-
tire section. To dissipate an eastern i'm
preston that cyclones are as native 10 this
portion to this country as sunfiowers, it
might be well TO let the world know that
the twister has moved away.
The absence of tornadoes this year Is
undoubtedly due to a general atmosphsr-
ic condition and in this connection an old
pioneer who has spent his life in the
west says: THE general trend of this
country is TO give a man everything or
nothing. When things are bad they are
fearfully bad, and when they are good,
bountiful is no name for it, At least that
is my experience. The one exception is
wheat and corn. AS rule the big yields
of these two cereals do not happen on the
same year and usually when the wheat
crop is short the corn crop is large. But
occasionally year will come along when
everything which can push clod aside
and get above the surface Of the earth
is productive This is Oklahoma's expe-
of all that is good and an elimination
of all that is bad, including the cyclone
and the hot winds. No hot winds have
blown in Oklahoma in 1900 and there
hasn't been a twister. We have had an
immense wheat crop and it is pannins
out up to expectations; the corn crop.
with few localities excepted, is par ex-
cellent The cotton is in good shape
The fruit yield is fine and other crops
such as castor beans and the pasture
grasses are all that could be expected
With the single exception OF visitation
from a small Hessian fly-like pest just
at the beginning of the wheat harvest
which pest did not injure anything, Okla
homa has been frse from devastating in
sects, such as the chinch-bug and it's
various relatives The plums, even have
less circulio than usual and some are
free from them. Oklahoma has had
heavier and more frequent rains than
Kansas on the north and Texas on the
south 1 think that when the figures
come out it will be shown that the aver
age temperature. for Oklahoma for the
last six months has been woler than IN
less prosperous years, even though this
grees that TO it we owe our unparalleled
prosperity. our exemption from hot
winds twisters, insects and any pro-
tracted period of dryness. The tempera-
ture has been equable and chances for
tornado formations eliminated No nearby
dry area has been large enough to create
hot winds, and our general low tempera-
ture has been such that it has squeezed
the moisture out of every bank of clouds
that passed our way This is not an en-
tirely new condition in the west. You
can study weather reports and prophets
for years, but after all the old cycle the
DRY holds good. At any rate believe
that Oklahoma is now in a period of good
crops that will last seven years, and
that the drouth which the northwest has
suffered this year will be repeated there
next year and the next.
