"BIsHOP ON HORSEBACK"
Rt. Rev. William Morris Barker
Dies at Tacoma, Washington.
Formerly Resided in
This City.

The man friends Of the Right
Reverand William Morris Barker,
we're pained to hear of his death at Ia
coma, Washington, Thursday February
81.
The deceased resided in this city in the
eaIly nineties, as bishop OF the Western
Diocese of Colorado, of the Episcopal
church, with headquarters in this city.
Bishop Barker was preaching in Du
luth, at st. Paul's church when the
house Of bishops Of the Episcopal church
created him a bishop on the 25th day Of
January 1898. He resided here for
nearly year making this the base Of
operations OF the new diocese, but in
1894 he was transferred to Washington
and made bishop of Olympia district Of
the Episcopal church.
He was known as the Bishop on
Horseback" because OF his ever ready
and willing spirit to engage in anything
which was for the good of the church.
He WAS man of fine presence and fine
address and made friends readily. He
was much liked here but the field was
too circumscribed for his efforts.
The diocese was created mainly
through the effosts of Arch-deacon o.
E. Ostenson, who labored most jealous
ly with the house of bishops for the cre-
alton OF the diocese
Bishop Barker was born in Pennsyl-
vania in 1854.

These petitions called for the
erection of a number of steel
bridges and the commissioners, on
account of the high price of steel
occasioned by the great strike,
wisely decided to repair the pre-
sent bridges and do grading at a
very small per cent of the cost of
the new structures. Later the
bridges will be built after bids for
their construction are called for.
It is expected that bids may be adj
vertised for in October and the
bridges, which are to be erected
in the northeastern part of the
county, built the coming spring.

The child sporting editor of the
Herald fell all over himself to tell
how badly the Devils got defeated
in Tuesdays game. He had no
wire from this city except a mere
statement that the score was 7 to 2
and yet he wrote a quarter of a
column stating among other things
Sessions was touched up to a
greater extent than usual" This
wasn't the case. 1t was Wigs
that got the touching Mr.. Child.
We hope you will guess better
next time. You are bound, like a
weather prophet, to hit it right if
you guess often enough.
The county commissioners we're
taken to the Pelican Point bridge
on Tuesday afternoon and found
the bridge all completed and de-
cidedly satisfactory. On Wednes-
day afternoon the matter of pay
ing the warrant drawn last spring
appropriating $1,000 upon condi-
ton that when completed the
bridge proved satisfactory to the
commissioners, came up for action.

was sorry to see the locals lose.
j. E. Watt, wife and daughter
were among the many who went to

It didn't take the gentlemen long
to approve the warrant and order
it paid and in half an hour after
the matter was taken up, city
Auditor Skratass had the $500
in his hands for the city and we
are all thankful to the commits
sioners. What the people should
do now is to thank Alderman
.Cockburn for his untiring energy
in pushing the bridge through to
such q satisfactory completion.
One way to show that we are
thankful would he to name the
bridge the Cockburn bridge. It
sounds better than Pelican Point
bridge at any rate and MI. Cock
burn deserves at least this much
distinction for his good work.

Among the many proofs of pros
perity and the big crop is the fact
that the machine men have sold
more binders this year than ever
before and there is almost a con-
tinuous line of the great farmers
friend going into the country at
all times. In addition to this
there are a great many new thresh-
ing outfits being sold and it will
take more than usual to handle
the immense crop. Before har-
vest there were lob ~threshing rigs
in the county and this number will
be increased by several score by
the time threshing is going on in
full force.

Of study. To accomplish these ends it
Is necessary to have someone in each
county TO devote his entire time to
the work. 1t is not expensive.
When the question Of the adoption
of supervision was before the people Of
Greene county, 1t was argued that it
would increase taxation, this has not
been true. Not one cent of increase
has been levied, and no other county
interest has suffered.
The salary in Audrain county will be
800. When it is considered that the
superintendent must devote his n
tire time to the interest Of the schools
(by far the most important interest in
the county and pay his expenses in
going about from n part Of the coun-
ty to another, it is very small. l have
no doubts on the subject. Every per-
