Obituary.

EDITH FIoKEL - Daughter
Frank and Anna Fickel, was born
Sept. 10th 1893, and departed this
life Feb'y. 8, 1902, aged 8 years,
months and 10 days. Three
weeks ago today, little Edith took
sick with lung fever which rapidly
developed into that much dreaded
disease pneumonia Of the lungs,
and although her suffering was
intense, she bore it with patience
and fortitude until on Saturday
evening last, the Savior said, cit
is enough come up higher" and
the spirit of this little one winged
it's flight to the home above, where
pain and suffering will never more
be known. While the presence
and smiling face of little Edith
will be missed in her home, in her
Sabbath school and in her school,
we feel it will be enjoyed by the
Angels in that celestial home
above. She died surrounded by
all the rest of the members of The
home, and others a sorrowing
band, yet rejoicing that the prec-
ious little saint was to be free.
And now while suffering has been
borne with joy and our hearts now
ache for the little helpless form,
we still rejoice that she is at rest
in the arms of Jesus. Little Edith
has been with us only little over 8
years, but she was the light and JOY
of us all. She strengthened our faith
and has led us nearer the cross.
Praise God that he gave her unto
our care and permitted us IN minis
tering to her, to minister to the Lord
and Savior. Her memory is a prec-
ious legacy. Little Edith, farewell
until that day when we all shall
meet in the Fathers house above.
She leaves to mourn, father,
mother, two brothers. one sister and
many friends.

Dear Parents and Sisters -
Am well as ever. Xmas did not
seem natural here, no snow, or ice,
or anything.
Yesterday two of the boys went
out on the street and caught II
goat and killed it and we had it
for supper. 1t was fine.
Yesterday was holiday with
the natives here and they wouldn' t
sell us anything, and that is the
reason we killed the goat. Chickens
and eggs are plenty here.
One of the men told me this was
the biggest place on the island,
and it must be, for there are thous.
ands who go to church every Sun
day. This is the way keep track
of the weeks. Can't tell wher
Sunday comes, working all the
time.
l have had U. S. clothes on sc
long l will not know how to act
with civilian suit on. Well
must close as work is coming il
and l must get it off. L make out
my monthly reports tonight
Good bye. Trusting God to keel
US all, l remain,
Your Loving Son and Brother,

rencor against their unconquerable
fathers,
"If Alice, bearing such petit
tion, should, through the hearts Of
the mothers of England, bring
mercy to the baby Beers; should
secure the little ones freedom
should stop the lowering into far
away Africa's soil of a thousand
little black collins; should free a
thousand Boer mothers heavy
hearts from anguish every four
weeks, she would not return to
meet the sullen scorn Of an Offend
ed people, but she would be met by
the love, the appreciation and the
joyous acclaim of every American
mother and patriotic father in the
land.
"More than this, she would be
greeted by her countrymen every
where as The pride of America,
the Joan of Arc Of her day. If
Alice can go and return in this
way let her go, and may God speed
her. But if she is but to witness
the monumental show of our times,
if she is to lead our country into
copartnership with England il
nation-crushing, let Alice stay al
home"

Reception and Dance Given by Short
Skate Club.

The most important event of the
last week and one of the functions
Of the season in fact, was the re-
ception and dance given by the
now famous Short Skate Club, our
leading social organization, IN their
handsome new quarters in the
Price building. The affair was
their first Of many that will be
given during the winter months.
The spacious parlors were beau
tifully decorated and delightfully."-
fragrant with the perfume of car
nations. The reception was de-
light. The ladies were never more
beautiful and the club members
could not have been more chival-
rous. At nine o'clock the party
departed for the dance which was
held in the Red Mems Hall. The
floor was under the efficient man
agement Of Mr.. Harry Rose.
The music was furnished by the
Friesrer orchestra.
1t was after the hour of eleven
when the party arrived at the
Rempel House for the banquet.
In the banqueting hall, where the
supper was served flowers and
palms formed the decorations.
Festoons of smilax garlanded the
walls and draped the tables. The
menu was the best ever gotten up
by the clever landlord and his
mother assisted by Mrs. Jeffries
The Stedem orchestra discoursed
delightful music during the even
ing. The affair did not break up
until the dawn.
Due credit should be given
Messrs Clarence McCray, Chas.
Stedem, Hubert Lappen and Ed
Campbell for their efforts to make
this the grandest affair ever given
in Logan.

Has Two Homes.

tronton, Ohio, February Elm
1880 David Unrue and Miss Lizzie
Neal, both of this city, were
married. They lived happily for
about three years, when suddenly
Mrs. Unrue disappeared, and all
the efforts of the deserted husband
to locate her were unavailing.
About 60 days ago Mrs. Unrue
suddenly returned, bringing with
her very pretty daughter about
II years Of age. She stated that
after leaving her husband she went
to the Hooking Valley mining re-
gions, and in 1884 was married to
John Arms, well-to-do farmer and
coal miner, and that four children
were the result of this union.
Recently it occurred to her that
she had treated her first husband
badly, and the old love for him as
suddenly returned as it had de-
parted years ago, and she took her
eldest daughter and came here to
see him. In few days Husband
No. 2 followed and met the wife
and daughter at an attorneys Of
flee, and after sad but stormy
meeting it was decided that the
daughter should return with her
father and that Mrs. Unrue-Arms
would stay with Husband No. /.
They went to housekeeping in, a
nicely furnished home, and got
along well for few weeks, when
suddenly Mrs. Unrue- Arms desert
ed her husband for the second
time. Mr.. Unrue secured the SER
vices of a detective, who started
out to find her, and after several
days search located her up among
the Hooking Valley coal mines,
where she had gone to housekeep-
ing again with Husband No. 2and
her family.
The detective told her that un-
less she returned at once to her
husband in Ironton he would pre-
fer charges Of bigamy against her
and she would be arrested. She
again deserted Husband No. 2 and
her family and returned to this
city in charge of the detective, and
is now living with Husband No. /.
1t is said that Husband No. 9 is
likely to visit this city in few
days, and the probable outcome is
that a warrant will be sworn out
for her arrest for bigamy. The
case is exciting great deal Of in
terest, and the outcome is anxious
ly awaited. Mrs. Unrue-Arms is
remarkably pretty and stylish.

Found Dead.
Murray City News.l

murray Clty NeWB.1
Thursday morning early, the
lifeless body Of Ed. Jenkins of this
city, son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.
Jenkins, was found lying on the
track in Portsmouth. 1t is sup-
posed that the young man was try
ing to board train or in some
manner had fallen when the acci-
dent occurred. One of his legs was
cut off and the body horribly
mangled. A book in one pocket of
his coat, gave his name and place
of residence and it was by this
clew, that the officers located his
people. The body will be shipped
to this city for interment which
will probably take place today or
tomorrow. Mr.. and Mrs. jenkins,
parents of the young man are high
ly respected and very prominent in
several secret orders Of the city.
The news Of the i'll fate of their
son, was great blow to them and
their many friends. Edward was
about % years of age and of rest
less disposition and for a few years
he has been apparently unsatisfied
with his place. He had many
friends in Murray City and when
he left the city Wednesday morn
ing was light hearted and hopeful.

INTERESTING LETTERS
From Rube Dollison, With the U. S
Signal Corps In The Philippine
Islands,

bAGChAAsf AOha109 Va N'SpNl - 10y
December 20, 1901.
Dear Parents and Sisters -
At last 1 am settled down; ar
rived at this place December II,
and like it very well, much better
than l ever expected. There are
only about thirty soldiers here. l
have good quarters; my Office is in
nice room right in the quarters,
and / don't have to go outside
only to get my meals, and that 10
only few steps; have a nice room
and sleep right in the office. Food
is very good for army life.
Sibonga is only about 100 yards
from the cost and has between IL
and 15, 900 inhabitants; most Of
the houses are "shacks," made OF
bomboo, with grass roofs. There
is big coconut grove just below
the quarters little ways. l have
all the cocoanuts can eat.
In a place like this the "Tele-
graphisto" is the "whole cheese"
soldiers treat me fine and natives
are anxious to deliver my messages.
Have two lines in here, and one of
them was down for two days, and
when it was fixed, one operator
had about SO messages for me, and
nearly all had to be answered.
That was my second day and l had
over a hundred messages; never
left my table only when 1 wont to
my meals. My Office call is S. A.
l am we'll as ever and weigh lac
pounds. Hope my health will
stay good, but if 1 do get sick,
there is a physician here who
rooms next to me, and who does
all the doctoring for the men. He
is in the hospital corps and is q
good fellow.
There ia 7O% Of the sigma
Corps to be discharged by next
June, and not many of them will
re-enlist. Operators are scarce
here, and if the Government CAM
get enough Il think these lines will
be turned over to some company
and if that happens 1 will be home
before two years, for the S. c.
would be done away-with ovel
here then.
All the water we drink here i.
boiled in large kettle, so l DOM
think there is much harm to com,
from the water.
/ have received no mail from yor
yet and don't suppose will before
Feb. !. Get mail here about one,
a month, and sometimes not fol
two months. Can get mail away
from here about twice a week
Can't get any stamps here, have
to get them in Cebu.
Days are hot here and nights
cool; just cool enough to sleep un
der my blanket.
1 will send you picture with
my gun and uniform on if 1 car
find place to have them taken.
Well / must close this as there
is about a dozen messages to senC
and a man calling me and must
answer.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1902-02-13

1t, instead Of the swimming we
have here.
AS a general thing the operators
here are considered something by
the natives, as che can rend
hoises," They all wanted look
at the new "telegraphisto" when
they found 1 had been sent here.
Well, have written all l can
think Of, SO good bye. Your son,
REUBEN.

PRAYER
For Dying Boer Babies May Be Taken
to England by Alice Roosevelt.

The arrangements for the visit
of Miss Alice Roosevelt to England
have been given formal considera-
ton by the United Irish Societies
of the city.
Yesterday the representatives of
the 20 organizations met and en-
powered President Joseph P. Kealy
to issue statement to the public
expressive of their views. Last
night President Kealy gave out
this statement:
"Much ado is being made over
the proposed visit of Alice Roose-
velt to England for the purpose of
attending the coronation of King
Edward VII.
'Let Alice go in peace, for she
is young, and will enjoy the trip,
and il it be true that she is much
opposed to shams, she will return
with greater attachment to her
native land. But Alice should be
careful not to let the enemy max
ing English Government use her
presence in England to engender
enmity between our nation and any
one of Engiand's many enemies.
Let not the visit OF free Ameri-
can girl to the court of St. James
be resultant in thorough and un-
holy alliance and the fastening of
fetters on any people or the ex-
tinction of any not free nations.
If such results flow from the visit
of Alice, the revolving odium CT
such direful things will for gen.
erations attach itself to the fair
name of Alice Roosevelt.
"Her visit need not have such
an unhappy termination. Indeed,
it may be made productive of much
good. If Alice could be induced
to carry prayerful petition, con-
tanning the signatures of million
mothers-American mothers-with
the heavenly love for little children
still abiding in their hearts; love
90 robust that it goes out to the
babes Of far-away mothers, who
are starving and dying by thous-
ands. Let this mothers petition
i6ontain not q protest to the King
rof England, but sympathetic
prayer to England's Queen, who is
q woman, and who may have re-
sponsive mothers heart, not yet
hardened toward innocent babies
whose fathers fight for freedom.
'Let such petition contain a
prayer to this queenly mother for
mercy--nothing more-for the
Boer babies. Let it ask in the
name of motherhood, in the name
of civilization, in the name Of Him
who said, Suffer little children to
come unto me, that this mother
Queen interceds for the Boer babies
in British prisons, to the end that
their innocent lives be spared to
them, that they be given freedom
which God intended them to pos
sess, and n freedom which their
hopeless fathers vainly fight for.
"Then, too, Alice might supple
msnt this petition with few words
on her own account in support of
this million mothers prayer. She
might suggest that not since the
days OF Nero has such az awful
spectacle offended, nay, shocked
che sensitive eyes Of civilization as
does this revolving spectacle in
South Africa. Let Alice ask the
Queen mother If she thinks that
every month thousand babes
should die for no more holy pur-
pose than that Killer Kitchener
may thus crafty bis hell-born
