MORTUARY
1ELD. EDWIN %sTAEFoRn.

father of Henry, Caleb, Alvin, and
Edwin Stafford, Junior, died last week,
Wednesday, February q, aged "a years
and Is days. Some years ago he was
stricken with paralysis and since then
has been very much OF the decline in
both physical and mental vigor. He
was born in Stockport, Cheshire, Eng
land, in 1927. When he was fourteen
years old in 1914, his parents removed
TO America, locating at Nauvoo, Illinois.
Both parents died there, and Edwin
went to Pennsylvania and New York.
Desiring to be a sailor he went to New
York City inlS47, when he was twenty
years old, and engaged upon a govern
ment vessel which sailed around Cape
Horn to California, and thence to the
Sandwich Islands. He had an ~eventful
life upon both sea and land, but finally
settled in Knox county, Illinois, and
from there came to Decatur county,
Iowa, in 1875, twenty-six years ago com.
ing March. His wife died here in 1880.
OF seven children six are living, the
three oldest sons and Mrs. Samuel
keown, Edwin in Texas, and Lucinda
(Mrs. Brown in Oklahoma. He has al
ways been held in esteem as an honest
man and a good citizen. In his relig-
ious convictions he vas very firm also.
The funeral sermon was preached by
Elder Ii. A. Stebbins in the chapel here,
and Elder r. M. Mvin assisted i'll the
services. We extend our sympathies
to the bereaved.-Lam oni Chronicle.

A Radical Departure.

Reports are received from the Pacific
coast which indicate that the Southern
Pacific is about TO enter into an alliance
with ticket brokers, an announcement that
stirred the railroad men considerably, but
when the scheme was explained It brought
out a volume of laudatory comment The
advices are that a broker named A. Ottin-
ger has been employed by the Southern
Pacific to prevent the scaIping of tickets
by buying in all that are presented and
then turning them into the company, re-
ceiVing a commission which would equal
the money he might make by turning them
over 10 possible purchasers. The scheme
is a very simple one. Mr.. Ottinger is to
establish a system of brokerage offices all
along the line of the Southern Pacific, equal
the regular brokers. His instructions are
TO buy in the tickets that are offered at
the Scalpers' offices, being as persistent in
his solicitation for tickets rs the regular
ticket brokers are. Instead of keeping the
tickets for sale again to the trade, as the
other brokers do, he is expected to sell
all Of them TO the general office and thus
keep the low-rate tickets off the market
In the price he offers the ticket hold
erS is not accepted. he is expected to take
an accurate description of the ticket and
send in the same to the general offices
of the company, in order that the same
may be bulletined TO the conductors who
are therefore warned not to accent the
ticket, unless assured that it is still i'm the
hands or the original purchaser. Whether
Mr.. Ottinger will be permitted to do the
same thing with the issues of other lines
than the Hartman roads or not has not
yet been determined. but it is expected that
such will be the case The railroads hone
ton TO the brokers as will prevent them
from carrying on a lucrative business
