MRS. RALPH POMEROY.

In the death of Mrs. Ralph Pomeroy
the community loses one of the brightest
and cheeriest of friends, one who will be
missed by young and old. She has had
usually good health until "a few months
ago. since which time she has been a
sufferer from the disease which ended
her life. During her illness hope and
courage characterized her entire con-
duct. In her death the young lose one
whose years made her valuable and
sympathetic counsellor and friend, and
the old settlers who knew her nearly a
half century ago. feel that another link
is severed that binds them to the past.
Hers was strong personality and the
entire community will feel her loss.
Mary E. Wood, daughter of Cyrus and
Flaria Wood, was born June 20, 1880, at
Long Meadow, Mass. She united with
the Congregational church of Spring
field, Mass, of which DR.. Osgood was
pastor, when about 20 years of age. On
Sept. 5, 1852 she was married to Ralph
Pomeroy at Springfield, Mass, and came
west in the following year. They settled
on Syene Prairie near Madison, and in
October moved to the farm in the town
ship of Fulton where she died Jan. 10,
1901. Soon after locating here she
united with the Congregational church
of Fulton, of which she was an active
member until she became one of the
charter members of the Congregational
church of Edgerton.
She leaves sister, Mrs. Orrin Pome-
roy of Fulton, brother, L. G. Wood of
GAINESVILLE, two sons, w. T. and 0. R..
Pomeroy and eight grandchildren, be-
sides other relatives and many friends to
mourn her loss. Her husband preceded
her six years ago. One daughter, Mrs.
M. Pelton also has gone before.
Funeral services were held at the
home of her son, w. T. Pomeroy, on Sat
urday last, her pastor, Rev. F. l.. Moore,
officiating, assisted by Rev. B. F. Martin
of Fulton. A large number of friends
followed her to the grave. Her sterling
christian character, her faith and hope
and cheer will long be remembered by
all. The world is better because she
has lived

me Suffrage Plan.

We give below, in condensed form,
the principal features of the suffrage
plan as reported 10y a majority of
the committee, and which will. in all
probabilities, become the organic law
of the State:
The voter must be a male, 2 years
of age, must have been In the State
two years, county one year, precinct
thirty days. Must pay poll-tax of
$3.50 six months before election, or
must have paid for himself or wife
State taxes to the amount of S100,
or if he can give a reasonable ex'
PLANTATION of the officers to be voted
for he can vote. None of these quail
ificatiOn to be required prior to
January 1903. After January LIST,
1904 the voter must apply for
registration in his own handwriting,
fill out and deposit his own ballot,
unaided, except he be blind or
physically disabled. All voters who
register before January 1st, 1904,
shall remain voters for life, unless
disqualified by other provisions of
the plan. There are to be no dis
Enguishing marks on the ballots. A
list of those who pay pOll-tax is to
be published in each voting precinct
in the county. All who have served
in any war or in the Navy, or in the
Confederate Army. or in any war OF
the United States, shall be exempt
from any and all of the above quail
keations, except residence &c.
The Judges of election to are be
ppointed by the Circuit Court of the
istrict. Any person beng denied
he right of registration has right oil
appeal to Circuit Court.
The above is an epitome of the
majority report represented by Mr.
Thorn. The minority report, as
presented by Senator Daniel, is es-
sentially the same. There is some
difference on the understanding
clause, as shown by the two plans

TIE P0H-tax.

The payment of poll tax of S1.OO
as a prerequisite to voting must seem
to every thoughtful man just. .equit-
able and right, as the money thus
raised is to be appropriated to the
schools.
Any mau who does not care enough
for the education OF his children to
induce him to contribute this small
amount TO their education is too
mean TO be allowed to elect rulers
for decent people, and any man who
is unable to pay it is too sorry and
worthless to vote anyway. The
good people of the State say TO these
people; I'VE wont refuse your
children the benefit of the schools
because of your refusal or inability
TO contribute one dollar and fifty
cents to their support, but we won't
allow you to vote That's all, and
there is nothing unfair or unjust
about it.
