etery. Quite q number OF the old.
time friends Of the family gathered
around the grave TO pay the last trib.
ute OF respect TO this good woman.
Rev. A. A. Wallace, OF the Presbyter,
ian Church, oniclated.
Deceased was born, reared and edu.
Gated in the State OF Alabama. She
first came TO this town about thirty
years ago On a visit 70 friends. Many
OF our older citizens win remember her
first as Miss Emma 4. Lapsley, and as
a most accomplished young lady and
loyable character. AT about this time
she met Mr.. Baker, a successful real
estate man Of this place, and o al.
terward became his wife. This was q
happy couple and they started in life
with brightest prospects. There
were born to this couple eight
children, all boys, five OF whom sur
vive the mother-George, aged "a;
Willard, 20; Hardin, IS; Robert 10, and
Samuel, IL. Two OF their children
died in early childhood and one at the
age OF IA. The Bakers left Mexico in
1885 and located in Kansas City.
After living there about eight years
they rem owed TO Leayenworth, Kan
Sas.
Deceased, early in life, united with
the Presbyterian Church, and to the
hour of her death remained firm in
the faith. Her life was one OF the
most beautiful the writer ever wit
messed. She lived rather than ~professed
a sweet, patient, consistent Christian,
life. Her life was almost wholly one
OF service and devotion 10 her husband
and children, and Others IN and about
ner home. The gracious influence OF
such a life could not but be fruitful Of
much good TO all with whom che came
In contact; and especially should the
remembrance Of the good deeds and
self-eacrlhces Of this sainted wife and
mother be an inspiration TO the hus-
band and sons, prompting them to|
live the life that she lived, and to pre-
pare for a happy reunion with the
loved n who has gone before. II
would beg Of the h~eart-broken hus-
band and sons to remember that ethe
Lord Is nigh unto them that are OF a
broken heart, and saveth such as are

FROM
DUTY AND FINED
Sentence Imposed in Water
Cure Case--No Com m ents
Made,

Washington, July 24.-One months
suspension from duty and a fine of $50
is the SEN ence imposed upon Major
Edwin F. Glenn of the Fifth infantry
by a courtmartial which found him
guilty of having administered the
water cure" to native Fllipinos, or
having permit ed it to be done. The
action of the court was made known
when Secretary Root forwarded to
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay the
proceedings and findings in the case,
together with those in the srials of
Lieutenant Julien e. Gaujot, Tenth
cavalry, and Lieutenant Norman T..
Cook, of the Philippine scouts. Lieu
tenant Cook was acquitted on a charge
of giving orders to kill three Filipino
prisoners. The testimony showed that
he had given orders to shoot the pris-
oners If they attempted to escape. The
Filipino scouts to whom this order was
given thought it meant to shoot the
prisoners.
In forwarding the case to the pres.-
dent the secretary recommended that
the sentences and findings be approved,
hut that no other action shall be taken.
1t is not believed that the president,
who is reviewing authority in these
cases, will make any comments such
as were delivered by him in the case
of General Smith, 1t is shown in the
evidence and reports that Major Glenn
has performed, excellent service, and
has done much to pacify the country
where he has been in command.

Washington, July 24.-Secretary viii
son has secured an appropriation of
$40 900 from congress for the purpo-e e
of making experiments in .lhe raising
q, silkworms and the product'on OF
raw silk. We are now importing ahoGt
S45,00O, 900 wcIth of raw silk annually,
and Mr.. Wilson thinks IL is possible
for us to raise q good deal of the sup.
ply In our country, il the wives and
daughters of the farmers and people
who live in the villages will take up
the industry.
It is particularly suitable for wo-
mon and children, and the wives and
daughters on the farms and in the vii
lagos, by spending a little time every
day, might earn a liberal supply OF
pin money without interfering with
Their household duties or their educa-
tion or their pleasure. In France not
less than 1900 families are enga ged
in the cultivation of silk without in
reference with their other dut'es
In Italy nearly as many of the peas
ants are engaged in the same industry.
In thal way the girls can earn and
save money for their marriage dowIies.

CONSIDERING PLANS
Canton NJ q ssiiion Ind Canton
Akron Lines are included
in the Proposed
Deal.

For some time there have been ru-
mors of consolidation of electric lines
including the Northern Ohio Tract on
company, but it seems that the rumors
are not founded on facts, says the Ak
ron Beacon-Journal.
For mon.hs these rumors have been
cropping out every little while, but it
is at last announced by the officials of
the company that the rumors were put
in circulation without their consent,
and thal they are unfoupded. 1t Is true
that officials of the Northern Ohio
Tract on company have long recogniz-
ed the value of a cons olidation of cleo
tlic lines, and the move made by the
Everett-Moore people in securing con-
trol of the Canton-Akron and Canton
Massillon lines just prior to the flnan-
c III crisis in which that company fig
ured so prominently, shows this.
JUST AS DESIRABLE.
That such consolidation is Just as
desirable at this time as it was then
none can doubt, and the knowing ones
will not be surprised Ii such consoli-
dation is consummated in the near fu-
ture. But Just at this time the offic ais
of the company state that nothing is
being done. Such consolidation can
only come in one way. The holders of
Stock in the two companies named
above must buy the Northern Ohio
Traction company and form the con.
solidation. At present the Everett
Moore syndicate is seller and not
buyer, and It is not in position to
PAIL off such deal.
1t is understood that the easterDers
who control the Canton-Akron' and the
Canton -Massillon lines would like very
much to possess the Northern Ohio
Traction company, as it would give
them straight line from Canal Dover
to Cleveland and in time form one of
the links in the line from Cincinnati
to Cleveland which has been the aim
of every electric railway magnate in
the state since the pradt' cability of the
electric road has been demonstrated.
HOLDS COMMON STOCK.
The Everett-Moore syndicate has
already gotten rid of lis preferred stock
yet IL retains control of the Northern
Ohio Traction company through its
holdings of common stock. In fact the
majority of the common stock of the
Northern Ohio Traction company is in
the hands of the syndicate and its
friends, and it retains control of the
Will Christy, first vice president of
the company, when seen by Beacon
Jou, nal reporter in regard to the pro-
posed consol' dation, said: THE re-
ports OF the consolidation in circulation
are not founded on facts. 1t is true
that there has been talk of congoli-
aatiGn for some time, but so far as |
know, the officials of the company are
not doing any of the talking. The COM
pany has the common stock, and If Of |
fered enough for it they will sell, maxi
ing a consolidation possible. believe
that if so were offered for the common
stock il could be bought, bit the N rtn-
ern Ohio Traction company Is not now
figuring any on a consolidation"
