The Park Question.

Now that the new court house is as
sured property in Lancaster is on the
advance and improvements public
aud private are being discussed on
every hand. The matter Of establish
ing public park for the city is an
important theme o. conversation. and
numerous sites are suggested.
In conversation with Herald rep
resentative Saturday Anton Schmitt
espoused the park cause and spoke in
glowing terms Of plat of land he
possesses in the eastern part of town
which contains the artificial lake. Mr.
Schmitt has it all mapped out as to
where beautiful drives could be ar
ranged skirting the lake. fountains
erected. trees set out. etc. The lake
could be used in summer for boating
and bath house provided. In win
ter It's admirable qualities as skat-
ing rink could be brought into play.
The location Of the land-right in the
heart Of the city you might say is
another argument in its favor, being
easy OF access to all.
Mr. Schmitt is willing to sell il to
the city on long payment, and Is in
cliued 20 give the city a bargain.
The matter is respectfully referred to
the city fathers.

Demise Due to hp0DlrxU From Which Tie
Had Long Been Sufferer. Fun

Homer L. UOQflSDns tue WeIl- huuN II
scholar, teacher, poet and soldier, is
dead. Death came suddenly ana I'M
eypectedlv at the home of his son, w.
A. johnson just north of the city at
an early hour Sunday morning. De-
ceased had been cnioving lis usual
health for some time aud the termina
tion of life coming so suddenly was
shock to his relatives and friends.
Saturday he made his customary visit
to the city. greeted acquaintances as
usual and none who saw him then had
the slightest expectation Of never again
seeing him in life.
Sunday morning at about I o'clock
one of W. A. Johnson's little daugh-
tiers was sent into the front room to
cali grandpa to breakfast. The child
returned to the kitchen and informed
her mother that grandpa was sitting
by the stove in his arm chair but
F.. would not talk to her. Mrs. Johnson
went to him and spoke. Receiving no
reply she believed him asleep but up
on closer examination to her unex-
pressible horror found the father to be
dead. Mrs. johnson summoned her
husband from the barn and upon his
arrival discovered the announcement
of his wife to be true. Medical aid
was summoned, but TO no avail, death
baving ensued sometime in the early
morning hours. Deceased was fully
clothed even to his overcoat. hat and
muller. During the night members
q the family heard him moving about
ia his bedroom, but as this was no
extraordinary occurrence nothing was
thought of it. Death came through
apoplexy, from which malady he had
suffered for some years.
H. U. johnson was born May 20,
1880, at Braceville, Ohio. In 1852 he
was united in marriage to Caroline
Mix at Braceville, and his vocation
that of a teacher-was pursued during
a long term of years. In 1896 his be-
loved wife passed away, and year
later he came west 10 Wisconsin to
reside with his son, w. A., with whom
he had ever since made his his home
and was welcome inmate of the
household.
Three children, two sons and
daughter-W. A., of Lancaster, Fred
of Chicago and Mrs. Vesta Bingham
Of Ashtabula, Ohio. All were present
at the funeral obsequies.
In the affairs of public as well as in
his own business matters he was hon
orable and upright, being couscien-
tious in the performance of every act.
In politics he was an ardent Repabli-
can and in his early days was a COM
panion OF many men who afterwards
became prominent figures in national
affairs, such as Jas. A. Garfield and
the late lamented VIM. Mckinley
Kind, considerate and obliging, he
was in every sense a manly man, and
his death is deeply felt.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. j. T. Morgans at the NJ. f.
church yesterday at p. m, under
auspices of |. O. O. F. and &. A. r.,
deceased being member of both or
ders. The attendance was large, al!
gathering to pay their last tribute of
respect to the departed.
