Hecuba was as dignified in welding

gently fish for Hecuba's story.
Briefly, her mother had died sudden

widow several years, and always
earned a good income, but never ac-
cumulated any money. She had given
her daughter an education, and now
Hecuba had taken her mothers place
in order to do the like for her younger
brother. The money was wanted at
once, and this was the quickest way to
earn it.

To the memory of Samuel F. Shoe

Thy spirit rests on that beautiful shore,
Where all is love, peace and Joy,
And nothing can yonr bliss annoy.

And never for honor or glory sought;
But always thy duty faithfully done,
Upholding the right, denouncing the wrong.
Thy loss we all 10 deeply feel,
But Christ can all our SORROWS heal

We all shall meet to part no more.
Rest thou, dear lovely. happy soul,
Beyond the silent tomb,
And while eternal ages roll
In brighter beauty bloom.

he missed no opportunity to make
others happy.
He was never heard talking about
his neighbors or uttering evil against
any one. There was no room for
cant, pretense or hypocrisy in his ma
ture. His pulse never beat with one
false emotion.
While we mourn his loss, while we
miss his pleasant face, his gentle
voice, his kindly manner, and offer
our most affectionate tribute to
his worth and memory, we may
pause a moment at the threshold of
the touchingly beautiful home life,
which has been enshrouded with the
impenatrable gloom of a measureless
sorrow.
There can be no better test of a
mans merit, than the esteem in which
he is held in the home circle, and in
this Mr.. Miller was everything that
loving husband and devoted indulgent
father could be. 1t was there, in the

there he contentedly spent most of
his leisure time; it was there that he
enjoyed the serene and hallowed as
sociations that cluster around the
idea home. It was there he wrought
the golden threads into the texture
of his soul and character, which gave
him calm and peaceful entrance into
that beautiful home of the soul.
He sleeps, his memory enshrined
not only in the hearts of his immedi-
ate friends and neighbors, but of all
who had the pleasure of his acquaint-

Fort Scott Having Trouble Will

Caused by Possible Removal Of
Roadmaster's Offices.
RAILROAD THREATENS
Says 1t viii Remove It's Shops
From Fort Scott.
Large Office Building at Fort
Scott to Be Left Vacant.

The people down at Fort Scott are
considerably agitated because of the
proposed removal from that city Of two
0nimportant roadmaster offices which
the Missouri Pacific railway maintains
at that point
It is claimed that the railway com
pany has made a bold bluff to the town,
and told it that if it makes any dis
turbance about the railroad Offices, it
will remove the shops from the town.
The shops are Of much more value than
the offices and Fort Scott has SO far
been very careful not to talk about Of
fees
The two roadmasters are c. 3. Combs
and John Lynch. Speaking of the sit
uation. the Fort Scott Tribune says;
The only object of the proposed re-
moval is to save the $500 the company
is paying Walter Othick for acting as
clerk for the two rOadmasters here. By
moving Nj. Combs TO Nevada where
there is another rOadmaster with a
clerk, and moving Mr.. Lynch up 20

quarters at Council Grove and thus
double on a clerk with the roadmaster
whose office is there the services Of
the clerk ait Fort Scott could be dis
pensed with

company for the construction OF the
Fort Scott & Eastern and the Fort
Scott q Southern and the Belt line
road it was specifically stated in the
contract that the company should erect
a large depot and office building here
and maintain offices here. The depot
was built with the commodi0us Office
rooms. but they have never been oceu-
pied The only offices We have had are
The one desk and two chairs of the

il is understood the company has been
advised that for some technical reason,
he don't count as an officer under the
terms Of the contract. so if the road
masters should be moved away the
company would forfeit the $40 600 bonds.
Tt has been long known to Fort Scott
shat the Missouri Pacific company was
not fulfilling its promises to Fort Scott
the promises under which the $40, 600
of bonds We're specifically issued-an1
several years ago John Glunz who was
then mayor and a committee of citi-
zens went to St Louis and demanded
that the company comply with the con

meek It had boldly made its demands
and the company had quietly told it TO
return home and keep its mouth shut,

more value to the town than the offices
would be and so the committee was
completely hushed. Fort Scott voted

The very first and most important
