OBITUARY..

As announced yesterday, Henry
Blaksley Crane was drowned IN the
MuskiDgdom river, opposite the
old Reynolds homestead, about
three quarters Of a mile above the
town of Beverly and Waterford, O.,
where he, with his wife and two
children were spending their taca'
ton. Just how the accident &C
Cured will never be known.
Thursday was his seventh wed
ding anniversary and the people
he was boarding with prepared a
special dinner for the occasion
which was served on the lawn. A
few friends went up to the farm
from Beverly and spent the day
with them. After dinner all the
party put on bathing suits and
waded In the river for long time.
Where Mr.. Crane was drowned the
water was not nearly over his head
and the day before the accident he
had been at the same point several
times.
Friday morning. as was his usual
custom, he arose about half past S
O'Clock and went to the river to
take an early morning bath before
eating his breakfast. He kissed
his wife good by and left the house
and that is the last that was known
of him. At breakfast time
he had not returned and the
large farm bell was rang
two or three times for him
but he failed to put in his ap-
pearance. Still no one thought OF
any trouble. Later, Mr.. Reynolds
went to the river and found his
bathing suit lying on the shore on
top Of which was towel he had
taken to wipe his body with after
his bath. 1t was then thought he
was somewhere along the shore
and he was called repeatedly but
getting no answer 1t was thought
then, for the first time, that he
must have drowned. The alarm
was given and soon kind hearted
people came to the river and pro-
ceeded to look for the body which
was shortly afterwards found and
brought to the shore. 1t Is the
opinion of the people at Beverly
that In wading around he had
stumbled and became strangled.
Others think 1t was heart failure.
Still Others think he was taken
with cramps and that caused him
to drown. How 1t occurred no one
knows, but 1t was certainly
strange as we'll as heart rending
accident.
Henry Blaksley Crane was born
In the city of Titusville, Pennsyl-
vania on the 22nd day of October
1870 and had he lived until the
22nd day of October coming he
would have been thirty two years
of age. When Col. John J. Carter
purchased oil property here some
eight or nine years ago Mr.. Crane
came here as Mr.. Carter's private
secretary which position he has
held ever since. Seven years ago
the 18TH of this month he was
married to Florence Julia Mccoy
and by this marriage two children
were born, both daughters
who survive him. He was always
a model young man and early In
life united with the Baptist church
In Titusville. After his maria &c
he united with his wife with the
Presbyterian church in this city,
was a member of the Christian En-,
endeavor society and was a chris
tian man. He was quiet and
modest In his work of every kind
He was a most devoted father and
husband. His marriage was surely

Stuart's Tablets after every meal to in- sure perfect digestion and avoid trouble. But it is not generally known that the Tablets are just as good and wholesome for little folks as for their elders.
 Little children who are pale, thin and have no appetite, or do not grow or thrive should use the Tablets after eating and will derive great benefit from them.
 Mrs G. H. Crotsley. 53S Washington St. Hoboken. New Jersey. writes Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets just fill the bill for children as well as for older folks. I've had the best of luck with them. My three-year- old girl takes them as readily as candy. I have only to say tablets and she drops everything else and runs for them"
 Buffalo mother, short time ago, who despaired of the life of her babe, was so delighted with the results from giving the child these tablets that she went be- fore the notary public of Erie Co.,, N. r., and made the following affidavit:
 Gentlemen:-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were recommended to me for my two months old baby, which was sick and puny and the doctors said was suffering from indigestion. I took the child to the hospital but there found no relief. A friend mentioned the Stuart Tablets and I procured a box from my druggist and used only the large sweet lozenges in the box and was delighted to find they were just the thing for my baby. l fee jus tified in saying that Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets saved my child's life.

For babies, no matter how young or delicate the Tablets will accomplish wonders in increasing flesh appetite and growth Use only the large sweet Tablets in every box. Full-sized boxes are sold by all druggists for 50 cents, and no pa- rent should neglect the use of this safe remedy for all. stomach and bowel troubles if the child is ailing in any way regarding its food or assimilation.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been known for years as the best preparation for all stomach troubles whether in adults or infants.

BOTH LIFE OF THE PLACE

From the Savannah News.
 An interview that appeared not long ago in the Morning News with President John M.

Among us most interested readers was Assistant Attorney General Marion Erwin. who has written A letter to MT.

I agreed with them all except one point. viz the banishment of. our faithful friend the dog from the ideal farm.
 "In reading the article I could feel my spirits rise in ecstacy as l followed your charming description of the model farm the good barn almost bursting with it's load of golden grain, the wide fields en- closed by the well-ordered fences which divided the ranges of the fine Durhams, the Jerseys and the Herefords, and which marked the limits of the 'waliows of the Poland China, the Berkshire and the Es- sex hogs. I walked with you in sympa- thy through the well kept poultry yards. where the mother hen from Plymouth Rock, with faithful cackle complies with the daily egg-actions of the farmer, and where the bold chanticreer sends fortn across the hills his boasts of superior lineage. I even consented to accept the we'll, without any mention on your part of the old oaken bucket that was wont to hang therein. began to weaken lit- tie when you omitted this. but being a natural-born reformer myself. and re- membering the great things you have &C., complshed for the Central Railroad, T. was prepared to accept your silence on the bucket question, interpreting 1t as a reserved suggestion in the direction sH
