of the death of Elizabeth Cady Stan

duty it owes to the people of this coun-
ty, to remind them of this fragrant fail
ure of duty on the part of their ser
wants.
Now what is the remedy?
Republican officials have not, though
duly informed by the aforesaid publ
cation in the Democrat nearly eighteen
months ago, taken any action in
the matter to right the wrong, or call
the board to account, and it is not likely
they will. Perhaps they think such
action would injure their party, and there
by dimish their chances for preferment
in the future.
This is An off year in politics and
every man on the democratic state,
congressional, judicial and county ticket
is fully qualified to perform the duties
of the office he is named for. Now the
remedy we suggest is, tor republicans
and other voters who have their own
as we'll as the public welfare at
heart, to this off year, join forces with
democrats and elect every candidate
on the democratic county ticket. Then
the county offices would, as to their
politics, be about equally divided, ana
any dereliction of duty on the part of
one discovered by another officer of a
different political faith, would surely
be made public. .S-
Again the offices of this county have
been filled BY republi cans almost with
out exception from time whereof the
memory of man returneth not to the con-
trary," Now honorlbright, don't you read
or, whatever your.political faith may be,
think it would be for the best interest
tof all concerned, except the office seek
ers of the dominant party,to fill these of
fees for one term at least with men be-
longing to another political party, and
thereby an opportunity be given to in
vestigate and ascertain, whether or not
the official duties have been rightly
and properly performed by their prede-
cessors. Another thought for republi-
cans to consider in this connection is
that, by taking the course suggested,
the office seekers in their party will be
taught that nomination is not equiys
lent to an election, and it will result in
purifying the party, and for time al
least prevent the unseemly and expen-
sive scramble in the race for nomina-
tion, that brought such disgrace upo1
the party at the last republican pri-
maries.
Think this matter over and then cas-
your ballot as your honest and impartla
judgment shall dictate.

Catherine Overocker Upper

Friends and relatives of Catherine
Upper were shocked, and bowed with
grief to learn of her death last Friday
morning, October II, 1909.
Catherine Overocker was born in Ber-
rim county, Michigan, January 1, 1910,
and came with her father and step
mother to Delaware county, Iowa, in
1851. On July 4, 1854, she was united
in marriage to Samuel Lewis. BY this
union there were three sons and two
daughters born: Irwin Alvin, Allen
Harvey, Ella 1.uella, John Ellsworth
and Nettie Claire, one son and one
daughter having preceded her into the
life beyond.
In 1893 her beloved huebsnd was
called home, and on June 3, 1899, she
was again united in marriage to c. G.
Topper whom she leaves in sadness.
When 10 years of age she was con
verified and became Christian, and was
baptized by her uncle. Elder John Mar.
tindale, continuing steadfast in the faith
of the gospel and firm therein to the
end.
BY the death of Catherine Upper the
community loses noble hearted friend,
her relatives tender, loving Christian;
and her children mother whose whole
life was full of love and unselfiehness
for them. Mrs. Upper was all kind
ness, love and tenderness, not only to
her own, but especially to the poor and
oppressed.
Her life was as pure and sweet as the
flowers she 80 much loved, and her
heart was always eager and anxious to
do good and give happiness to those
around her.
The fragrance of her kind deeds will
last in loving hearts of friends and rel
atives for all time.
| God bless her memory.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. Oct. 25. There
We're twenty-five more mines in opera
tons in the anthracite region yesterday
than Thursday, and the output was
close to 100000 tons This is as near
as can be estimated From reports
received the total output Thursday did
not exceed $4,000 tons. When in full
operation the mines employ in every
capacity about $4,000 men and boys.
OF this number it is estimated that
$4,000 were ut work yesterday.

We're taken to keep vigilant watch for

hold-up, but the latest advices are that
one man alone perpetrated this afro
cious murder and robbery. Sheriff
Prescott with a strong force OF men
started ut once for the scene of the rob-

went with him. Dan O'Neill, the muir

had wife and five children. He had
been in the service of the Northern
Pacific longer than any other engineer.
The robber boosted that he was the
man who took part in the hold-up of
the Southern Pacific train near Port
land, Ore, about year ago. He made
this boast to the train hands to terror
ize them while he employed them to
run the train for four miles-that is

bandit was found on mountain trail

scent of the mask the animals mmedi-

then about eight hours old.
1t is believed that the robber board

train stopped at water tank near
Bear Mouth. After the robbery the
bandit, taking one of the train crew
named Berry for companion, marched
down the track without molesting the
passengers. After going about Il mile
