Sarah Mcclellan Scott was born III

ried to Frank l.. Scott, April H. 1874 )
died Mt Dallas, Texas. OF malarial lever
lime %. 1901. She leaves a husband
and two children, father and MOTHER
two brothers and two sisters, to mourn
her death. She was faithful Christian
and worker in the church; joined the M
L. church twelve years ago, OF when she
remained q faithful member and worker
until death called her home. She was
loved and respected by all who knew
her. The funeral was conducted by her
former pastor, Rev. Dolson, OF Mounu
CITY. assisted by Rev. Cullison, OF Blue
Mound. The funeral was attended by
MANY friends. 1t was the largest IN
neral ever held in this vicinity.
The Rebekah lodge of Dallas will al
WAYS be held in highest esteem in the
hearts of MIR. and Mrs. Scott's friends
for the kindness they showed Mrs. Scott
during her sickness and death, and, in
deed, during all of their stay in Dallas.
They made an emblem of flowers repre-
senting their order-thrce links, which
also represented the three sisters-one
broken link representing Mrs. Scott also
n broken h. art, representing her be-
reavcd husband.
The Rebekah lodge of Mound City,
and the Royal Neighbors. OF which Mrs.
Scott was n member, also contributed
emblems as a token of the love and es-
teen in which they held her.
Following i' a poem which Mrs. Scott
composed AMI sent to her afflicted
mother before she became sick while in
Dallas:
Dedicated to my Mother, Dallas, Texas,
May ., 1901.
As | sit alone rejecting on the days that
have gone by,
In the silence o the twilight, tcardrop
.dms my eye.
NV thoughts have wandered to the day
when was but child,
And PLAYED around my mothers knee;
her look was sweet and mild
But now, ala.. those days have flown;
they will never more return,
But her loving deeds and kindly smile
still in III. memory burn.
Affections hand has wrought it's work;
her form. once blithc and gay,
Fl IS lost it's beauty-yet for me her
charms will always stay
Imprinted in nv heart, so deep that
nothing can cilacc
Her wondrous deeds, her loving voice,
the embodiment of grace.
It's hard to know that one so pure
should bend meath the Christening cd,
Yet It's for some end tn he secured by
loving and all wise God.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 5.-Two hundred
and eighty-five delegates, representing
more than million and a half workmen,
responded to the roll call at the opening
session of the 21st annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor, which
was called to order by President SAM
ucl Gompers in st. Thomas College Hall
The convention is said to be the largest
yesterday
congress of workmen ever held in this
country. Organizations settlement OF
questions involving contested seats and
the reading of the annual report of the
president, secretary and treasurer took
up the entire time of til convention.
During tn course of the day there was
onef surprise sprung On the delegate and
one important important decision was also
adopted. The surprise came in the form
of an objection to the seating of the
United Mine Workers delegates because
of an alleged arreeage in their per capita
tax. The objection was overruled by an
almost unanimous, vote of the delegates.
The important question decided related
the Central Labor Union OF Richmond.
Va, which body refused to admit negro
workmen to their organization. The dis
pute was adjusted by seating the Gem
trail Labor Union representative and in
structing the executive board Of the
American Federation of Labor to form a
separate central union for colored men
The negro question came before the
convention in the shape of report from
the Committee Oh Credentials. w. f.
Seal was elected by the Central Labor
Union of Richmond to represent it at
the convention. 1t appears that the Rich
mond Central body refused to admit to
membership nero worlmen belonging
to the colored tobacco workers unions in
Richmond. Henry Fischer, president of
tho National Tobacco Workers Union,
was instructed by two local colored unions
of Richmond to oppose the seating of
Seal on the ground that the organization
he represented drew the color line. The
committee heard both sides and recon-
mended that Seal be seated and also rec
commended that the excutiv board of the
Amrican Federation/of Labor be instruct
ed to form a separate negro central union
in Richmond. The recommendations were
accepted by the convention without oppo-
sition.
The reading of the annual report of
President Gompers consumed three
hours. Secretary Morrison's report and

Chicago, Dec 5.-"King'' Farmer has
come to Chicago, taken the board OF
trade by storm and sent prices of all
grains climbing above records Business
today on Change was larger and more
spectacular than it has been for long
time and has rivalled the speculative en-
thusiasm that marked the days of Hutch
inson and the other giants of the pits.
Natural conditions are back of the up
shoot in prices, but bull speculation has
been the main incentive. The whole coun-
try side seems to be waking up to the
ruinous shortage in the corn crop and
the feeding of wheat to stock as a conse-
quence has brought big buying in that
cereal.
There have been general advances in
all options of wheat, corn and oats dur
ing the past several weeks But the ar
rival of thousands of farmers ard stock
men to visit the live stock exhibition
touched off the fuse under all the mar
kets and sent prices booming. Today the
floor of the boardEw spectacular show.
Hundreds of the big countrymen in fur
overcoats aud cowhide boots had the
courtesies of the exchange and were all
eagerly getting into the game" When
professional speculators saw the farmer
grasping opportunities they Immediately
