by Jas. Gray from Rokeby, Nebras-

wee little girls.

Uncle H. H. Dimick and wife, at

past week from Mr.. Adolphus
Dorey, from Fontanelle, Adair
county, that torcibly reminded them
of old times. Thirty-nine years ago
these people were neighbors in
Green county, Wisconsin, and this
is the first time they have met in all
these years. Mr.. Dorey recently
came from Wisconsin and learning
that his friends were so near he
hitched up his team and drove over
to pay them visit. Thirty
years is long time for two friends
to be separated and naturally they
had much to talk about and that

MANY .AETE''u1
Memorial Roll of Kenosha Old Settlers
Will Be a Long One When
Read on Thursday.
MANY WE'LL KNOWN NAMES.
Death Has Entered Many Homes During
the Year and More than Half Hun
dred Have Passed Away.

Old Settlers Day on Thursday will
be day of sorrow as well as rejoicing
for when the old boys and girls meet
again there will be many familiar
faces missing. Many chairs will be
vacant for the ones who have filled
them for SO many years back have
been laid to rest under the trees in the
little cemeteries in the different parts
of the county. When Secretary Rob
erts calls the roll this year many tear
drop will fall, brought out by the MEM
DRY of some one of the dear departed
makers of the county. The ranks of
the old settlers are constantly growing
less and less. At the opening of the
new century the great mass of them
will have crossed to the other side and
the few that gather will stop to recall
their memory on Thursday. The me-
mortal roll for this year is one of the
longest IN the history of the associa~
ton. The deaths among the old set
tiers since the last reunion have been
| "a III number, and among the long list
are many people who we're we'll known
in the city. Among this long list we
can only pause to mention such people
of the city as Conrad Muntsenberger
William Hill, Mrs. z. G. Simmons,
Dennis Langen, John Schmitt, Burr
Simmons, o. S. Newell, John Mooney,
r. B. Tows1ee and r. O. Gottfredsen.
This is indeed great list of benefac
tors of Kenosha city and county, and
from the long list many other names
could be selected which would cause
remini SCIENCES to be called up in many
homes. The full list of the old settlers
as prepared by the secretary of the So
ciety with the date of their death and
their age is given below:

Deceased ola Settlers = secretary's Re-
o& q -aA@ port.
Since our last annual reunion, held
August 81, 1899, I have recorded the
deaths of ffty-four of the early settlers
of Kenosha county. Each and all
were highly esteemed as widely as
they were known. It was their daily
thought how to promote intelligence,
justice, law and order. They were
supporters of our public schools, and
churches, and other organizations for
the elevation of the people, and the ad-
vancement to a higher civilization.
''The good that men do lives after
them,' and we who survive are enter
ed into their 1abors. When Anthony,
in his Grafton over Caesars dead body.
said, "The evil that men do lives after
them, the good is oft inferred with
their bones,'' he meant exactly the OPP
posite. He was ironica1 in the fullest
degree. 1t is not only true, but is en-
phatica11y true, that the good that men
do lives after them, and we who are
alive today are enjoying the cumu1a-
tive good resulting from the acts of
those who have passed away. The
knowledge of their good deeds, and the
enjoyment of the fruits of their 1abors
should be and is an inspiration to fol-
low good, and pursue it.
OF the f1fty-four whose deaths have
recorded, twenty-fou- reached the ripe
age of eighty years and over. And of
these three reached the age of ninety
years and over, one, Mrs. Della Derby
shire, attaining the age of ninety three
years. Only seven out of the entire
roll Of ffty-four names fell short of
seventy years. The town of Bristol
has one early settler living, Mrs. An
drus, at the ripe age of ninety-three
years.
It would be matter of interest to
know the names of the surviving pio-
neer settlers of Kenosha county, those
who came in the years from 1885 to
1845. There are not large number OF
these left; but if we had the names OF
all, the number would surprise us.
I&wish any one knowing of an aged per.
lsson living in this county or elsewhere,
jswho came in the early days, would
lssend me the facts for record, and fot
publication at our next reunion.
Respectfully,

Collapse.

ment Work rarely
causes collapse. It
is worry-the outcome of low condition
of the nervous system and inadequate
nutrition which generally causes col
lapse. The collapse seems sudden, but
in reality it is a slow process. The stom-
ach and organs of digestion and nutri-
ton are diseased, the nourishment in the
food eaten is only partially extracted and
imperfectly assimilated. The blood be-
comes impure; the very fount of life is
poisoned, and some day all the faculties
and functions go on a strike. That's
collapse. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery cures diseases of the organs of
digestion and nutrition, purifes the

which the collector had stated that she
w ou1d have right to dispose OF a
stock of liquor if she was wiling to
pay the government license O. 500.
There was no desire on the part OF
