THE sARGEANT LEAVES HIS OLD FOME.
| At the auction of G. T. Nicholson,
on the 28th, of his personal property,
everything sold and at very satisfac-
tory prices. On the next morning he
took his departure to his new home at
New Milford and as his health is quite
poor at present time the parting
with his friends and his old
home was all he could stand, having
occupied the home just left for 81
years. 1t was there that the most
pleasant days of his life were spent
with his estimable wife and children.
And for many years he and his wife
lived all alone in the full enjoyment
of each others company and love. He
will be missed from the neighbOrhCOd
as he was jovial person and always
ready to meet one with joke and a
smile. The only ones that rejoice at
his departure will be the foxes, mink,
muSkrats and skunks, as he was an
expert hunter and trapper.

When we went to press last Friday
it was confidently predicted and firmly
believed that President Mckinley was
out of danger and on the high road
to a speedy recovery; yet even in the
evening of~the same day the wires
were burdened with messages of alarm,
the beginning of the. end had come,
the icy hand of death was gradually
pressing out the life of our chief ruler
and before tie darkness of night had
set in it was known that his sands of
life were running low. Our worst fears
were realized when, shortly after two
in the morning, the word was given
out that a great ruler of a greater
people had passed into the unknown.
The remains were taken to Washing
ton and laid In state in the capitol
building Tuesday. The final interment
took place at Canton, Ohio. yesterday.
closing the last chapter in the life of
one of the great. men of this country

They are telling a story about the
midshipman days OF Admiral Schley,
which may or may not be true, but is
rather characteristic. The officers of
the ship had a couple OF mischievons
monkeys'who climbed over reverything.
ate up the sailors food and made l;fe
sweet generally. The fact was brought
to the notice of young Schley, and he
took the monkeys to a secluded spot
one day and CREASED their tails nice
ly. The result was that when they
next climbed the rigging the simian
hold was broken; the ship gave a lurch
and the monkeys went into the water.
They were rescued. but kept shut up
after that. History is said to ref,e;.t
itself. and somehow or other people

City Council Meets.

The city dads held a session Mon.
day night of more than usual interest,
in fact it quite warmed up toward the
close. Mr Frizell, of Larned, was on
hand with party of gentlemen from
that city with a proposition to put in
an electric lighting plant in the city.
Their propos itiOn in substance was
that they would put dynamo in our
pump house and use our plant from
lighting time until midnight and pay
a rental to the city of $l7 per month, !,
they to furnish their own coal, etc. On
the other hand they ask the city to pay
ST. 90 per month each for ten arc lights
for street lighting and $500 for incan-
descent lights in the city buildings.
They agree to put in lights in priv ate
or business houses for fifty cents per
month. The council is reported to
have generally favored the idea with
the proviso, ''if we can aft ford it. 7"
They decided that the matter was too
serious for them to make decision
without knowing more about the opin-
ions of the residents of the city and so
ask all of those who are interested in
the matter to attend public meeting
at the court house Monday night and
discuss the matter.

asking that part of one of Mr.. Don
nell's lots be condemned in order to
open an alley from Marsh avenue
west to the railroad right of way. This
was vigorously opposed by Mr.. Don
nell on the ground that the public
welfare did not demand this but it
was done to serve private ends. The
council adopted an ordinance con-
demniDg the property and appointed
Alcorn. Blanchard, Harper, Tatum
and AderhOld to view the route of
the proposed alley and award damag-
es. The parties asking for the alley
entered into a written agreement to
protect the city from all expense in
this matter. In other words they will
use the machinery of the city govern
ment to fix the price of Mr.. Donnell' $
property and then they will pay the
bill. The chances are that this matter
| will get into court.

GauI-Kufth.

Last Thursday Emil Gaul and Ida
Kurth were married at the Lutheran
church in the German settlement at 9
a. m. =
The bride was attired in beautiful
gown of cadet blue cashmere trimmed
with white satin, 5he groom in the con-
ventiOnal costume. The groOmsmen
were Fred Wise and Herman Strowitz
The bridesmaids were Miss Krumri
and young lady from Ford county
whose name we failed to get. They
were attired in white.
After the impressive ceremony had
been performed which united these two
young people for life the company of
friends repaired to the home of the
brides parents where bOuntiful pro-
visions had been made to satisfy the
wants of the inner man. The tables
had been spread ia the shade of the
spacious old settlers tent These we're
Tiled again and again until about 400

Later the young people adjourned

the hours with songs and pleasant

The event was delightfully."- celebrat-
ed in good old German fashion and
all who attended returned to their
homes congratulating Mr.. and Mrs.
Kurth on the success of all their ar
rangements which had enabled them
to entertain so large company so
that all were pleased.
The many handsome and useful
presents presented to this happy coup
lie defies description and we will not
attempt it farther than to say that if
there was any useful or ornamental
article that did not appear in the list
we failed to notice it.
One very pleasant feature of the oc
casion was the presence of the grand
father and his daughter. from Dakota.
Miss Kurth was the old gentleman $
favorite grandchild and so he jour-
neyed the long way down here in or
der to grace her wedding with his
presence.

President Mckinley was laid to rest
in Canton, Ohio. Yesterday. The day
was generally observed through out
the country: schools were dismissed
and all business houses closed during
The afternoons: all pnblic buildings
and many private ones were draped
in mourning. In our city Mayor
Schnatterly issued proclamation re-
questing a suspension of all business
so far as possible in the afternoon.
which was generally complied with
and public services held in the Con-
gregational church. This closes one
of the saddest chapters in the history
of this republic.

The department of agriculture is
said to be contemplating pushing
American fruits in foreign markets.
This is nice; but there are farmers to
whcm the department has been sending
seeds, who have wondered if some
missionary work in that direction were
not needed at home. At present the
average seed received from that Office
will not come up unless one probes
for it with pincers.

Every schoolhouse should have a
name, something to distinguish it and
to make it a landmark in the commun-
ity.
To designate so important build
ing by a mere number savors of The
convict system, and awakens no feel
ing of loyalty or res pect in the minds
of the children who grow up around it.
The practice of calling schoolhouses
by the name of a neighboring family
is not good, AS families frequently
move away and then the name must
change or lose its appropriateness.
They should be named from some
physical feature of the location; then
the name will always be appropriate,
will always stick and will give the
school and the. community dignity
and an Importance that will make for
good in more ways than one.
Let the teachers take this matter up
this winter and see that all school
houses that are not already named
are christened before the year closes
The selection of name, of cours,
should be made by the patrons.
