The Fourth passed very quietly here.
That is, it was quiet after o'clock in

music in the air. When the people got

Hutchins' house and large sign in

there was no rum or rowdyism in evil

On Friday evening, June %, as Mr..
William II. Clemens of East Hiram vii
lage was returning from West Baldwin
with his team, he was caught on the
railroad crossing near BridgtOn Junction
by the west bound train, and hurled 1875
feet from the crossing, landing him on a
large rock, breaking his ankle, leg, hip,
ribs and jaw. He lived but few min
utes. The wagon was demolished and
the horse had to be killed. Mr.. Glenn
ons' age was 6S years, - days. He was
a very careful, prudent man, and no one
can understand how such an accident
could have been possible.
He was descended from John and
Abigail Clemens, who were among the
early settlers of Hiram in 1850. he was
eldest son of the late Sudrick and Lucy
Clemens, and leaves widow, two sons,
two daughters, brother and sister,
while more than one-tenth of the inhab-
itants of Hiram were related to him.
He was an intelligent, quiet, peace
able man, having kind, pleasant word
for all, and carefully avoiding all strife
and discOrd. We have not for many
years had citizen who possessed so
much varied skill in mechanical con-
struction and repairs, and he rarely
found a job too intricate for his ingenu-
ity. He worked readily as plumber, a
brick and stone mason, carpenter, black
NTH. painter, and in various other
trades, hence he was one Of our most
valuable and useful citizens, and will be
sadly missed in his business and in his
large circle of friends. He died as he
had lived, without an enemy.

APEsTIFEROUS GERM.
Burrows mp the Scalp Into Dsodrun and
S,ps the Hairs vitality.

People who complain of falling hair
as a rule do not know that it is the
result of dandruf, which is caused by
pestiferous parasite burrowing up the
scalp as it digs down to the sheath in
which the hair is fed in the scalp. Be
fore long the hair root is shriveled up
and the hair drops out If the work Of
the germ is not destroyed hair keeps
thinning till badness comes. The only
way to cure dandruf is to kill the germ,
and until now there has been no hair
preparation that would do it; but today
dandruf Is easily eradicated by New
bros Herpicid, which makes hair glossy
and soft as silk.

The frank acknowledgment made by
some of the older army officers of the
%gallantry and bravery of Funston and
their hearty %seconding Of the recon-
mendations made that the Kansan be
rewarded for his dash and daring, may
be taken as showing, that, no matter
how much there MAJ be to the talk
of West Point prejudice against those
in the service who are not graduates
Of that institution, it does not extend
to the entire service and that there
are officers who recognize a soldier, no
difference where he may have come
from. 1t is to the everlasting credit
of the West Pointers in the army that
no Sampson has appeared among them
to object to the advancement of Fun
ston on the grounds that he has not
had the same advantages in earlier
life that they themselves enjoyed.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-04-02

Not being allowed to carry out his
desires for blood letting and carnage
with a foreign foe as the n or whom
to satiate his lust for gore, the kaiser
seems determined to goad his own
people into a position where he may
take advantage of his station as "war
lord'' to lop of a few heads and see
rivulets of gore meander their way
down to the sea. His continued ut
terances of treason on the part of the
people of Berlin are rs unjust as they
are uncalled for and in making them he
not only brings the scorn of the staid
B~erliners on himself, but that of all
the rest of the world. AS some of the
German newspapers are limiting, the
emperor seems to have arrived at a
stage mentally where he is no longer
responsible and allows his morbid
imagination to play queer pranks
with his Judgment and place himself
in a position where it might be we'll
to put him under some sort Of re-
straint.
