OBITUARY.
WILLIAM II. ooNANT.

william Henry Conant died yesterday
morning at his residence ON High
street, In this city, at the ripe age OF u
years-and leaves q memory TO be en-
Wed. During his residence here. ex tend
ing over many years, he endeared him.
self to ali who knew him well. These,
perhaps, were not many; for he was OF
a reserved temperament, reaching to shy
ness. But those who knew him only by
soquai ntanos, readily grew to RECOGNIZES
the sterling merit Of the man, and TO
trust him.
Mr.. Conant was born In Alfred, the
descendant OF an early settler, and son
OF william q. Consnt, a merchant there
whose name Is still a synonym Of upright
dealing. In youth be Was associated with
HIS father In trade. and later on became
cashier of the Alfred Bank. There he
became acquainted with Gsorge IL.
Knowlton, the register OF probate for
York county, and formed the intimacy
that only ended with Mr.. Knowlton' q
death. when Mr.. Knowlton removed 60
Portland and became editor OF the Port
land PRESS, he asked Mr.. Conant TO
come with him, In charge OF the ousi'
ness department. There Mr.. Conans re-
mained until 1873, when at the solicita-
tions OF MIR. George r. Wescott, president
of the Portland 81 Roch sister railroad,
he entered the service OF that corpora
ton as a clerk and subsequently treasur-
er. In that service he continued until
death.
In the life OF man who has dislike
for publicity. as Mr.. Consnt did, ana
who, like him, stubbornly declines pub
lie office, though often invited, dates ara
wanting. he pursued his own way, tbs
right way, without thought OF distinction
and with indinereDoe to applause. Thi'
lie not to say that he did not value th'
esteem Of his fellow citizens; for no mar
was more lively to earn their regard, mol
better deserved &c. But he shrank from
bare-faced compliment.
Mr.. Conant was q scholar, though M
rarely spoke Of books to others than Ill
intimatss. One of the later acts in hi
honorable life was the gift OF ground To-
the Alfred Public Library-grount
carved out of acres, In the heart OF the vii
lage, that the Conants have held for tw'
centuries. That the gilt was not pro
claimed Is characteristic OF the modes
manIwho gave 1t.
MIR. ConAnt was a member OF the Higl
street church. wife and one daughte
survive.

In no uncertain tune. He fingered and

Of that fog horn voice to MAKE life worth

The semi -nude owner of the vocal ar
tiIIery behind the blind said: my friend,

into some reliable place down town, and
send up either barrel with b1th heads

Just about the worst pain of all comes from sore
feet Some people have to take OFT their shoes Tght
in the middle of the day because their feet hurt them
So If these same people would first battle their feet in
warm water and then rub them with Omega Oil, they
could wear their shoes from morning till bedtime
Omega Oils liniment that contains rare little SWISS
green herb that goes in through the pores OF the skin
and stops pain takes out the soreness removes the
tenderness reduces swellings, nvigorates the tired
muscles and causes all the bad odors arising from
perspiration to disappear That's good deal for one
