vorable report on the nomination of
Captain W. 0. Crozier to be chief of the
bureau of ordnance. all with the rank
of brigadier general The reason why
an exception was made IN Crozier's case
is found in the fact that he is charged
with being interested in certain ord
nance patents.
Captain Crozier is the son of the late
Judge Erozier of Leavenworth, Kan.
General Erozier was born in Ohio and
appointed to the United States Military
academy from Kansas in September,
1872. At the time of the selection Of the
delegates from this country to the peace
conference at The Hague he had reach
ed the rank of captain. He was selected
as one of the delegates from the United
States, and took a prominent part in
the deliberations of the conference,
showing the same degree of ability he
had exhibited in his army duties. His
step that gave him his majority was
due to the acceptable way in which he
represented the United States at the
conference. Major Crozier is one of the
most expert ordnance officers in the
service. combining a thorough mastery
Of the theoretical branches of construc-
tion with great natural inventive talent
In conjunction with Gen. Burlington,
late chief of the ordnance department,
he invented the disappearing gun car
riage, which has been adopted by the
government as the highest type of coast
defense weapon Gen. Burlington and
Major Crozier gave the patent rights

a penny therefor, but it is this same

Obituary.

Death visited the home OF j. II. Jackson
and took from him his beloved wife, Bell
Jackson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Casey, She was born in Jefferson county,
Illinois, August 27th, 1874; her parents
moved to Greene county, Ark, when she
was IL years old, and had been here ever
since then. She was married to j. II. Jack
son in 1897. and died March Dist, 1902. Bell
was an intelligent woman. useful Wife
and a loving mother. She left two children,
a husband and score of friends to mourn
her death. Why should we mourn over
herg She is not lost, but gone before. Her
last hour seemed to be the happiest she
ever experienced. She died so full OF praise
OF her heavenly father, that when she was
almost knocking at the door, she raised
her hand, as il to say, "I'll soon be there"
How feeble are words when we try to ex-
press the feelings OF the heart-broken
husband! 1t seems hard to us here on earth
to give up our dear ones, but II we knew
what she knows we would say, ''Sleep on,
dear friend, and will meet you in Heaven
some day." Then sleep on dear friend,
thy earthly cares are ended, and though
days and years may pass, the loss can
never be mended. Dear is the spot where
Bell sleeps, and sweet is the thought OF
the peace she now has.
