OBITUARY.

AS announced yesterday. Henry
Blaksley Crane was drowned in the
Washington 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 vaca.
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 a towel he had
taken to wipe his body with after
his bath. 1t was then thought he
was somewhere along the shore
and be 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. It 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 a
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
2znd 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
model young man and early In
life united with the Baptist church
In Titusville. After his marriage
he united with his wife with the
Presbyterian church in this city
was member of the Christian En-
endeavor society and was chris
tiau man. He was quiet and
modest In his work of every kind
He was most devoted father and
husband. His marriage was surely

one man was complaining that he

time was up he received less than he
would have done if he had invested his
money elsewhere. A wise Turk who
was sitting close by said it reminded
him of a camel belonging to friend Of
his. 1t was a most intelligent brute,
and the owner was convinced that if
he found really good teacher it could
be taught to talk. Presently Hodga
appeared who said he was of the same
opinion and would teach it, but it
would take long time, probably thirty
years. The owner was delighted and
agreed to pay the HOdga fixed sum
per annum and a big bonus when the
animal talked, the Hodga promising to
pay heavy fine if it did not. A friend
afterward went to the HOdga and said:
"What on earth induced you to make
that agreement? You know you can
never teach the camel to talk" "Oh, >

Summer School.

County Superintendent Arthur Far
quhar has perfected his plans for the
summer school, this year, and has hir-
ed his instructors and is working to
have it one of the best review schools
ever held in the county. This state
we believe is entering Upon a revival
OF education. New plans not fads are
being discussed all over the state. Some
counties are awakening to the fact
that the teacher is one of the poorest
measley treated person that gives
their services to the good of mankind
and are paying more, as more is given
and more will be demanded. An edu-
cation of the three RS is not sufficient.
The education got in the country
school or the nigh school is not suffi-
Gent to fit one for the high position of
forming and moulding young and plas-
tic minds. Teachers need more broad
ening, more developing than they can
get in these lower schools. The Sum
mer School aims to fill these require
ments. The average teacher cannot
afford to go away to school and the six
weeks school here will not cost so
much, that each can afford to be
present. The branches will cover all
that is necessary and the instructors
have large experience and suit can
everyone. The school will open June
18th and will continue for six weeks
with the following instructors: ID. p.
Repass, of Dexter; w. III, Lancelot, of
Lineville and Supt. Farquhar.

opened and closed by devotional ser
vices. The Sabbath, we hope, will be
the browning day of the session. Sab

ing at half past ten. This will be ther
Bishops ordination sermon in which
the importancy of the christian minis
try is set forth and showing the affili-
alton that should exist between preach
err and people in order to be successful
as workers in the vineyard of the Lord
to win the world for Christ. It oftsns
occurs at this service that the climax
demonstrates Himself, the waters are
ness of the christian ministsy flashes
discouragements and self-sacrifices of
the ministry disappear, nothing
remains in view save our own
unworthiness and the omnipotency
of the Great and Good Shep-
here of the sheep, the Bishop ofsoug
souls. Thought our harps may be hung
again with new zeal, they are taken
down to produce sweeter strains of an
everlasting gospel than ever before.

cannot speak definitely just now. A
general missionary meeting, also,
which may be made among one of the

To the churches of the town, both

invitation to attend each and all of the

their own meetings: and to aid and
assist in the work of the Master. The
pastor will conclude his conference
year with next Sunday. Sunday School
at ten o'clock in the morning, preach
ing at eleven and at half past seven in
the evening. Also preaching at the
Falrvlew school house at three o'clOcE
in the afternoon. This completes two
years work and toll for the Master in
! Audubon. Some success has been en-
joyed, although not what we should
have liked to have seen done. How
ever, the membership has been more
than doubled, considerable improve
ment has been made and the church
put on a good financial basis. What it
will be another year is known only to
Him Alright, and to the stationing COM
mittee who will make their report at
this session.
Our associations with the church and
people of Audubon are fraught with
many pleasant recollections which will
remain with us through the remainder
of life.
