Another Has Passed To The Beyond

Charles w. Lair was born at Extra,
Iowa, on January Z, 1871, and died
at Griswold, Iowa. Thursday even
ing, May 8, 1902. at the hour of nine
O'Clock, aged thirty-one years, four
months and one day. Funeral SER
vices were conducted in the Central
church of Christ, at Griswold, by
the pastor, Noah Gar wick, at two
o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday,
May 10th, and interment took place
in the Griswold Cemetery.
On June 20, 1893, he was married
to Naomi r. Taylor. He leaves to
mourn his loss his wife, two child
rem, Edgar and Leola, his father,
Mr.. j. P. Lair, of Extra, and his
brother, James w. Lair, OF Fonta
nellie. He became member of the
Christian church at the age of sew
enteen and of which he remained
member until his death. Mr.. Lair
has lived in about Griswold for the
past eleven years of his life where
many learned to know him as a
friend and man of business. AS
result his funeral was largely at
tended. Last January he sold out
his real estate business in Griswold
and moved his family to Bridge
water intending to engage in the
same business there but was taken
sick almost Immediately from over
exertion, a cold contracted while
moving and constantly grew worse,
the chief trouble being failure of
the heart which had given him
trouble for several years. The best
skilled physicians were called but
their help proved of no avail save
for temporary relief. Ten weeks
from the time he was taken i'll he
passed away, death closing the long
suspense of the loved ones watch
ing over him. During his illness he
longed for the surroundings of his
busy life, and was brought to Girls
void four Weeks before he died. He
greatly desired to live to the last
moment of his life and his last
words were: "Don't let me die" He
was not afraid to die. His upper
most thought seemed to be to live
that he might help to provide for
his young family. ~

The town council at it's regular
meeting on May 18th, besides trans
acting the usual routine of bust
ness. made an order opening up
Florence street, west OF this office,
south to Main street and removing
all distractions now on the right
of-way, then from this point open
ing the sixteen foot alley south to
South street. A petition on file
since March 18th asking for the
building of sidewalk, the town to
put IN two crossings, from the J. w.
Wlssler property on Falrview street
west on the north side of Harrison
street to it's intersection with Park
street was acted on and allowed
with this amendment, that the side
walk be extended west from the last
named point to the intersection of
Harrison with Carthage street, the
town putting in the additional
crossings. The sidewalk to be made
OF brick or lumber but if of lum Der
to be four feet wide, three stringers
tor foundation, two by four inches
in width and thickness and the same
to be completed within sixty days
from the date of the notice. The
long looked for and much talked of
curfew ordinance was passed and
will be in force after it's publication
and all those interested should read
over it's provisions carefully and
they will see there is nothing in it
but what is designed for the good of
the youths of both sexes who are
nightly prowling around to the dis
turbance of their neighbors and to
the degeneracy of their own morals.
In fact this measure is designed to
help the parent keep their children
OF the streets at improper hours
and will no doubt be vigorously
enforced

"on The Switch.

Vessels large may venture more
But little boats must keep near shore"
Rev. Whitaker's briet announce
ment in The Journal, of the ,8th,
amply, bears out the above. You
could almost see his hand tremble
when he wrote the words "Elabor-
ate discussion in the newspaper,n
as he considered, within himself,
the danger of wading in deep water,
Evidently Rev. Whitaker realizes
the truth of of the old maxim:
Littera Scripta Manet The writ
ten words remains always under
the eye of an intelligent public who
can read between the lines. Such a
small skiff as his must needs suffer
certain shipwreck when it comes in
contact with the divinely construct.
ed bark of Peter, "The Catholic
Church" He does not at all belong
to the high seas of discussion. That
you can learn from his letters. He
is much better adapted for the rail-
road yards as he reminds anyone
who reads his method of controver-
sy OF sWitch engine. Never is
question answered by him; he
always evades the point at issue
and you do not know on what
switch you will next find him.
The questions in my first letter are
yet unanswered and he has not even
made the faintest effort to prove
any of his statements. He seems to
know something of his capacity
when he would prolong the debate
for two years, but if he does not get
off the Switch and come ION the
main road the fourth year will dawn
on him before he has yet answered
my first question:: Was it fair for
him to Introduce and harbor in
Extra p. A. Seguin to abuse some
of the most sublime doctrines of
christianity and stir up the COM
munity?"

Philadelphia, May 13.-Mine work
ers throughout the entire anthracite
coal regions of Pennsylvania, to the
number of 145,000, formallN began
their struggle yesterday for increased
wages and shorter hours. Never in
the history of hard coal mining has
tieup been SO complete, not one of the
357 collieries in the territory being in
operation. There is every indication
for the belief that the suspension,
which was to cover only the first three
days of the week, will be made perma-
nent by the miners general conven-
ton which will meet at Hazelton on
Wednesday. Absolute quiet prevails
everywhere. In pursuance Of the re-
quest of the district executive boards
which met jointly at Scranton last
week, all the local unions throughout
the region met and elected delegates
to the Hazelton convention. 1t is sig
nificant that in every issue where a
vote of the 'local' became public prop
erty the ballot showed decided ma
jority for permanent strike unless
the operators grant the demands.
Predictions are made that if it is
decided on Wednesday to continue the
strike, the struggle will be longer and
more bitter than was that of 1900,
which lasted six weeks.
The coal companies in the various
parts of the region have already made
preparations for siege. Coal train
crews and other employees numbering
several thousand not identified with
the mine workers union have been laid
off until further notice. Some of the
companies have also brought their
mules to the surface and placed them
in pasture.
