Obituary..

Died at the family residence near
Wise.Allen county Kansas Mr.. Valen-
tine Nader. He was born j annary lst
lS42in Rohentorf Kuphessen, Germany
married in 1867 to Eliza Scbmittdid,
the now bereaved widow. Together
they came to America the same year,
after eleven years spent in Allegheny
City Pennsylvania, they emigrated to
Kansas and settled upon the farm
where he died October Goth 1900.
AS a friend and neighhor he was
always kind and Just. a man of ster-
ling industry, strong convictions and
an iron will, he had little regard for
those who thy to live by the sweat of
their neighbor'S brow. While exact
ing the most implicit obedience from
his family, yet he was kind and indul-
gent almost to- fault, particularly
to the wife of his bosom.
A year and halfago neighbors be-
gan to notice that he was failing, but
when urged to take better care of
himself he replied, "After awhile
will rest" Four weeks before the end
came, heIwas stricken down with pa
ralysis and from the first his physi-
elan held little hope of his life being
prolonged.
The deceased bore his sufferings;

to take his place in the business of his
farm and:home. His greatest grief
was that he was making so much trou.
BILE for his devoted attendants. Those
nearest him, with whom he talked.sOme
days before lhe was stricken down,
believe that he felt his days were
numbered:and was prepared for the
change. In early manhood he pro-
fessed a belief in Our Lord Jesus
Christ, and joined the Reform church
while in Allegheny City, and three
years ago he again identified himself
with the dhurch of his choice in lola
Kansas,
His death has left vacant in the
home, ia business circles and in the
neighborhood, "A place which will not

This is a great and wide country,
with millions of acres yet scarcely cul-
tivated. This is year of Astounding
harvests, and the statements of the
Press that prosperity abounds is true.
In many places hands are hard to find
and wages are fair.
How is it then that Phuperism
abounds in Allen county? Is there
not wrong somewhere? Tt would
seem about one-half the labor of the
county commissioners is to pass Pau
per bills. Enough is paid o,f each
quarter of the year to buy IL good
farm unimprOycd. Why not have
the commissioners buy farm near
lola and one near Humboldt and then
when some one needs flour, meat,
milk sugar, tea and coffee. meuchan-
disc and goods, coal and railroad
tickets send him, to one of these farms
and have him or her work fonthem.
"There is much food in the till0ge of
the poor" Is it not "A shame to be Il
pauper? Said thegood king: II once
was young and now am old, yet have
not seen the righteous forsaken nor
his seed begging bread" Are there
not too many people working for the
Devil, whose pas is in diseased bodies,
poisoned minds and empty stomGchs.
Why should not the pauper do als the
citizen of old; 90 and join himself to
IA citizen of thaS country and be sent
out into the felds TO feed swine.
If man won't work neither shall he
eat. wonder If some of the trustees
are not looking out for numbes one
and want to he reelected to. Office.
Shall one-half of the county feed and
clothe the other half? Is it the mark
of wisdom for some 'city fathers" to
vote to license pauper factories and
then saddle their output on the county
to support. II idleness and strong

The Biggest Demonstration That Ever

General Enthusiasm

The campaign of 1900 which from
the issues at stake will always be
credited in history as an important
one. closed in lola with a flourish and
shout that exceeded by far anything
of the kind ever seen here. There
were not less than 200 voters in line of
march. while something like 1000 peo-
pie stood on the walks and viewed the
parade.
1t was about 1880 when the parade
formed at the corner of Madison and

and Roman candles were distributed
and headed by the band the march be-

double columns of waving fire. The

fiery balls of various cOlors.

which face the square were lined with

there was a double line of spectators

west side there was dense mass OF
humanity packed from the store fronts
to the curb. All this did not take
place in silence which would be appro-

Out in the park the anvils volleyed
and thundered and in the parade some

From The Philadelphia Times
Oregon pine needles, or those long, slender

medium Of fire, without a thought being given

KIDNAPPED BY An AUTOMOBILE.
The Experience Of n Boston Woman with

From The Boston Ereniro Tra7erfp.
A woman residing In the Back Bay recently
engaged an automobile for the purpose OF max
ing a round Of afternoon calls After giving
tho driver the address OF the first stopping place,
she settled herself comfortably, and gave her
self up To the enjoyment Of riding along at a rapid
pace in this latest Of vehicles.
Shortly, however. she realized that she was
being carried along at q more rapid rate OF speed
than she thought wise, and what was her sur
prise a minute or two later to find herself passing
the address that she had given, and with no ar
parent intention on the part OF the driver 70 stop.
She signalled to the man outside, and after o
short delay he leaned forward and startled her
BY saying that he had lost control Of the power.
This meant that while he was able TO direct tne
vehicle he could not shut on the power, and then
she would be compelled TO ride until y was eA-
hausted. Straight out toward Brookline. were

After about an hours ride, which had been EXTEND

stop. and the driver dismounting from his seat, cnme
around to the door and calmly told the lady thas
the trip was completed, and that he would have
to send 10 Boston for assistance 10 get his vehlcle
back. The lady's disgust was expressed In
more or less vigorous terms as she realized that
her afternoon had becn passed In a runaway
automobile instead Of In making calls. az sho
had anticipated. She returned 10 Boston in
an electric car. had 10 pay her fare at that
