Death of Little Martha Francis Roush

1t was sad telegram that reach
ed the editor of this paper Satur-
day telling of the death of little
Martha Francis Roush, thirteen
months old child of Halleck and
Jennie Dollison Roush, at Fair
mont, w. Va. All last winter the
mother and father were held in
Logan expecting the child to die
from day to day. 1t was afflicted
with double-pneumonia, whooping
cough and catarrah of the stom-
ach all at the same time, and ply
sicians thought it almost miracle
when the little thing struggled
through all these. When it re-
turned to Fairmont with its par
ents, it resumed perfect health and
grew fat and well. On Wednes-
day of last week it took suddenly
sick with cholera-infantum and
it's little soul passed to the BOSOM
of it's Maker at l o'clock p. m. on
Saturday. Friends here attempt
ed to go Sunday morning to assist
in consoling the broken hearted
parents, but floods everywhere
rendered the railroads impossible.
May God press in upon them a
consolation that friends have no
words to express. A little bird
huttered into happy home to
cheer while and then, its mission
filled, fitted out to coo and sing
among the golden trees of Paradise.

Death of Tom Abbott.

We regret indeed to learn of the
death of Mr.. Tom Abbott, which
occurred on Friday, June 20, at
Strawn, Texas, by the fall of rock.
His remains were brought to Mel
sonville for interment. Mr.. Abbott
was for years one OF the most
prominent citizens of Jobs, in
Ward Township, in this county.
He was highly esteemed by corps
of Logan school teachers as a
member of the school board of his
township, for his persistent eff
orts in their behalf, which also
meant good schools for Jobs. He
was a genial gentleman and had
q host of friends. Several school
teachers of Logan, whom he had
befriended in the past, attended
his funeral.

Wet Weather.

Perhaps never in the history of
June weather have people clamored
for warmer temperature as they
have for the past two weeks. The
weather is all the more remarkable
because the average temperature
for the first eighteen days was
higher than usual.
The extraordinary rain fall has
been attributed to the presence of
ashes from Mt. Pelee which are
said to be floating in our upper at.
mosphere just now. There seems
to be no basis for this theory, as
no explanation has been made
which shows that ashes produce
water. Moreover, the weather of
the past week of June was almost
an identical repetition of that of
the last week of June in 1884,
which was followed by the great
Fourth of July food.
The old fashioned theory is the
one that most satisfactorily ex-
plains such spells of weather as
this. "All signs fail in wet
weather." as surely as they do in
dry, Nature seems by very
heavy collection of moisture during
a dry spell to have accumulated a
predisposition to rain, and no mat
ter how nearly it comes to clearing
up it can't do it. People say, cit
rains easily" and it does, for
scientific reasons.
In spite of the fact that an
alarming damage comes by the
submerging of growing fields, it is
certain that other vegetation pro-
fits by the rain, and upon the
whole we in the hills do not suffer
more than those in the plains.
The greatest possible danger
comes from very hot season which
may follow the wet period. Dur
ing the wet period the roots of the
growing crops cease to penetrate
below and become spread near the
surface. If very hot season fol
lows these are too much exposed
to bear it and it withers them, lik,
the seed that according to the
Scriptures, 'fell upon the rock

A Splendid Result.

The value of life insurance as
an investment is admirably illus
trated in the case os Cornelius Fl.
Du Bois, of Brooklyn, N. Y, who
was insured in The Mutual Life
for $4,000, the annual premium
being $297. This gum he paid in
full and in cash for ten years,
when the policy became paid-up
by virtue of the contract.
Mr.. Du Bois at the start wisely
concluded to allow all dividends to
accumulate, and the. result has
been a phenomenal gain. At the
time of his death, which occurred
on November o last, there was
credited to the policy in dividends
the sum of $5, or so, more
than he had paid to the Company
In premiums, showing the return
over cost to be So, 1O8, the amount
of claim being $11, 1,076, and the
total amount of premiums paid be-
ing 50, ,970. For every dollar paid
to the Company in premiums by
the insured the Company returned
$3.72--a record that cannot lie
equaled by any other company.

THIS is the calm before the
storm in politics. This is the
time to organize the armies and
plant the batteries on the highest
hill-tops. Our county ticket is
one of the best and strongest we
have ever had and it remains fol
every Democrat to constitute him
self committee of one to secure
a vote for them. Let the young
democrats in every school district
wake up and effect an organization
that will be a vote getter. Lei
the candidates themselves effect
an organization and get down tC
personal work.

THE only claim that Former
Democrat Grover Cleveland can
have on the Democratic party is
probationary. He has a right, as
a citizen of the United States, to
become Democrat if he wants to-,
and after he votes the ticket and
works for the party awhile, he
should be recognized as a Demo
crat, like any other Republican
who is converted to Democratic
principles.

Death of VIM. K. Bowlby.

At 4 80 o'clock Monday evening
June 30th, VIM. r. B ,wlby the
veteran shoe man of Logan passed
to the great beyond, having just
passed the 73rd year of his age on
June 18, the cause of his death be-
ing CONGESTION of the lungs. He.
caught cold about week ago,
sitting in his usual place in front
the store. The nights were very
cool, but being of a robust, warm
blooded nature, he needed no ad-
mOnition that the weather was too
cool for him, and this it is thought
brought on his sudden sickness.
William r. Bowlby was born
near Belvidere, Warren County, N.
j., June Is, 1929. He was the son
of Charles and Rachel (Ribbel)
Bowlby. In 1885 his parents came
to Ohio, and settled on a farm
near Newark, residing there until
1S41, when they moved to Linn
vile, thence in 1843 to Hooking
County. William Bowlby lived at
home until at the age of % years
he had finished the shoe-makers
trade. He established shoe fac
tory at Sugar Grove which was for
many years success, employing
many men. He sold this plant
and started similar factories at
Urbana and Jacksonville, but in
1855 returned permanently to Lo-
gan and established the large shoe
store that he still operated at the
time of his death. In 1854 he was
married to Jane Smith, of Somer-
set, Perry County, Ohio. To them
were born three children, Katherine
Charles and Maggie, the latter
having died in 1881 at the age of
Is years. The son Charles is
manufacturer of Columbus, having
held several political positions of
trust. The daughter, Miss Kath-
crime, is the present principle of
the Logan High Schools.
Mr.. BowlbY's wife having died
some years ago, he married Mrs.
Poston of Jacksonville, who survives
him.
William R. Bowlby was one of
the characters and old land marks
of Logan. He was very positive
in his opinions, quick to resent an
insult, yet good hearted and whole
souled in his affairs, helping many
poor persons, trusting the widow
and orphan for shoes where he
knew there was no way for them
to pay. In his rather retired life
of recent years he was great
newspaper reader, and kept apace
with the times in politics and his
tory. In leisure hours he had ac-
quired a deep knowledge of the
game of checkers, and expert
players from far and near met
their Waterloo at his hanl, and
heard his big, jolly victorious laugh
as they passed defeated from his

The decision relative to the
Longworth law, permitting coun-
ellis of municipalities to issue
bonds up to one per cent of the
tax duplicate, makes it possible
for our city council of Logan to
issue $40, 900 worth of bonds for
paving streets. Thus an election
will be necessary before we pro-
ceed to make the needed improve
ment.

THE Board of Education of
Green Township have a school
house to build and under the law
they must needs advertise to con-
tractors for bids. They selected
the newspaper of their choice for
the advertisement, and it was not
our paper. We are not kicking
and calling around about it.
They had the printing and placed
it where they pleased, and that
is their privilege. If merchant
gives some other newspaper an
advertisement and not us, we would
be unworthy of our profession if
we paraded them in our paper and
called them everything except
gentlemen. Is grocer to be mad

Democrats of this Eleventh Con-

on the alert that General Grosven-
or does not dictate the nomination
of his opposition. 1t is evident
that by the weakness of some of
the opposition in the past when
good material was available, that
the cunning hand of Grosvenor
was present. There is good
chance to elect a Democrat in this
district this year, and if the Dem
ocratic party want to win, they
can do so, but if they lay down as
usual and nominate a candidate at
the dictation of Grosvenor's usual
democratic henchmen, the jig is
up and Grosvenor goes on forever.
