Obituary..

Died at his home near Middlebrook,
Mo-, Dec. "a, 1901, Irwin Goggin, son
OF j. B. and Wanna NJ. Goggin, aged
II years, 6 months and q days. He
vas only sick one week with pneu-
monia fever until God relieved him OF
his s~ufferings. He bore his sufferings
and exhibited that patience which
characterizes those who have a hope
beyond this veil OF tears.
Irwin professed a hope in Christ and
united with the Second Baptist Church
at Belleview about three years ago,
and since that time has lived a faithful
Christian life; and in his last hours
left the bright evidence that he was
not only prepared to meet his Master
in peace, but was willing to go; call
ing his relatives and friends to his
bedside, he asked them to meet him in
heaven. The near relatives have the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire COM
munity; may they lean upon the strong
arm of the Lord, who doeth all things
well.
Rev. j. H. Calvert of Lesterville
conducted the funeral services at the
church, Sunday at II A. NJ. After
which the remains were laid to rest in
the Edison cemetery. RELATIVE.

Schwab, brother-in-law Of Fraueuthal,
remained or the car, and escaped with
out injury. The party, which left
Union Station at noon. had been in
specting the Q belt line in course of
construction by the Terminal Railroad,
and was returning home about 4
P. NJ. The car, which is operated like
an automobile, was allowed to run at
full speed. just west of the Wabash
crossing the Terminal track curves be-
tween two large factories. Along this
stretch OF track Barney Frauenthal had
the guidance OF the car, under the
supervision Of MI. Taylor. No regu-
lar Wabash trains we're due at this
time. There vas little thought of
danger, but as the curve was rounded
and the Wabash crossing could be
seen, 100 feet in front, an engines
putting could be heard. An instant
later the switch engine, south-bound,
and running backward, appeared. At
that time the engine was within prob
ably se~venty-6ve feet of the crossing,
Wlph VIC CdE q lltblC utdTSE. CTdu6u-
thai judged that the car could clear
the crossing before the engine. He
thought that to reverse the motor
would cause certain collision, and he
decided to make a dash for it. None
of the survivors can tell just how
narrowly a collision was averted. The
next remembrance of Fruenthal is of
bringing the car to a stop about
seventy-ive feet east of the crossing.
The body of Kent was lying bleeding
and mangled upon the Wabash tracks.
No trace of Taylor could be seen, but
Mark Ewing, who had fallen close to
the rails, saw the wheels of the tender
and engine pass over the chief en-
gineer's body. The switching crew
brought the engine to a stop 100 feet
south. Ewing, followed by F%rauenthal,
ran to the engine and found Taylor's
body, which had been caught up and
dragged by the fire5ox.

MistletOe--Why so Called?

Asssubscriber once the question asked,
Which to the editor was no task;
"Will you kindly tell me, please,
What's a growing on them trees,
Way down in the southern swamp;
Bears white berries many want;
Some folks call it mistletoe-
What it's used for, l don't know"
ANSWER.
"What's it used for, you don't know"
Spoke the editor, rather low;
My poor fellow, you just try
Hang from ceiling, rather high,
A sprig of that ere mistletoe,
But don't lot anybody know.
And the Miss you can entice
Underneath this green device
Owes you something you can't miss,
As she yves you just a kiss.
] feel sorry for the man
Who knows 8 o little of the plan;
What a pleasure it affords
Cannot be expressed in words.
Well, the name is simple, too,
Since 1t is SO very true;
Why we call it mistletoe,
Is because the Miss will toe
The spot, meath where suspended,
And il kissed is not offended,
Now, good fellow, take adviser
Watch the Miss, then kiss her twice.

Mr.. Leslie Logan and Miss May
Bond were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony, at the Presbyterian Church
in Belleview, Christmas day at eleven
o'clock.
The groom was dressed in the
customary black, while the bride was
beautifully dressed in a suit of white
serge, the bodice of which was shaped
to accommodate a vest and collar of
white satin, with bands of white silk
applique for garniture. The sleeves
we're Of a fancy style with deep puffs
of white satin, and wristbands decor
ated with the applique; a veil of white
tulle, confined in place with a wreath
of orange blossoms, completed the
toilet. The bridesmaid wore a suit of
cream henrietta, tastefully designed
with a yoke of white silk, and tucked
sleeves with fulness gathered into
wristbands, with point Venice inser-
ton for decoration. The skirt was of
a tucked design with plated hounce,
with heading of the insertion and
rosette bows of white baby-ribbon at the
discrimination of each cluster of tucks.
Miss Rosy Altheuser acted as brides
maid, and Mr.. P. Anderson as best
man. They entered the church, step
ping to a pretty wedding march,
walked up the side passages, and
were met in front by Rev. Mr.. Lam
bert. After a few appropriate and
we'll chosen remarks, he pronounced
the words which made them man and
wife.
After the ceremony a reception was
given at the residence of the brides
parents, where they received the
good wishes and congratulations OF
their many friends. Many and beau
tiful were the presents they received.
Those present were as follows:
Mr.. Altheuser and family, Mrs. Ada
Southall, Rev. A. N. Lambert, Miss
Lizzie Russell, Caledonia; w. P.
Anderson, Elvins; Mrs. Eva Duckitt,
Williamsville; Mrs. Lille Besplinghoff,

heuser, st. Louis; G. G. Mallow, Mon

Dinner was soon announced, and
ample justice was done to the delicious
and appetizing dishes placed before us.
In a short time Mr.. and Mrs. Logan
had to start for their future home at
Elvins, where they will be sat home''
to their friends after the holidays.
They left amid showers Of rice, taking
with them the best wishes Of their
friends. May all their ways be ways

peace, is the wish Of K. B.

Association, and William Austin Kent,
member Of a prominent Kentucky
family, whose home is in Louisville,
KY, were ground to death beneath the
wheels OF a Wabash switch engine Of
Second and May streets in North st.
Louis yesterday afternoon at 4 O'Clock
after jumping, panic-stricken, from
a swiftly moving gasoline motor car,
which threatened to collide with the
swith engine at the May street cross
ing. The car, which was running
upon the Terminal Railroad tracks,
whizzed across the Wabash tracks,
clearing the engine in safety. But Of
the six occupants Of the car, three
thought a collision inevitable and
jumped. Taylor and Kent. overbal.

the car was going, pitched forward and

ance of affairs in Cuba. TIL salaries OF the
army officers are all that has come from
this source, and these would have been the
same no matter where the troops were To-
Gated. The $50, 600, 900 which have
been expended in the reconstruction
Of the island have been derived wholly
from it's own revenues. The income has
been about $1,5OO.OOO a month and
the expenditures have been kept
within this limit. To keep them there is
going to be the tax upon Estrada Palma's
executive ability. Many claim that he
cannot possibly do it. 1t will cost him
more to run the government than 1t has
cost General Wood. The salaries of the
president, vice-president, members of con-
gress, ministers to foreign countries, ETC.,
will have to be added to the present ex-
pense. AS an Offset to this unavoidable
increase, however, It must be taken into
consideration that millions have been eX-
pended in public works, sanitary measures,
ETC., that will not have to be duplicated
for years, and the money that has been
going to these improvements can now be
diverted to meet the actual running eX-
penses OF government. Palma will prove to be
an extraordinary man II he can master
the difficult financial problem which con-
lTOnlS MIN. lie VIII naNe llllle uelp from
his congress. Unless he holds II firmly
in check It will run ava with him. In
experienced legislators invariably start out
by OVERRIDING things. The industrial condi-
tiOn OF Cuba could scarcely be In worse
condition. Thousands are In debt and pay
ment has been put off again and again In
the hope OF a reduction on sugar. The
day Of reckoning cannot be postponed for
ever. The Plat amendment prevents Cuba
from borrowing money and her revenues
cannot possibly be increased by more taxa
ton. Her people are uneducated and can
not figure out conditions intelligently. They
have no conception OF the redress OF
wrongs by constitutional right and cannot
be expected to exercise the patience during
the trying hours that will surely come to
the new republic, which would characterize
the attitude OF a more enlightened people.
A few days ago l requested a high official
to make me a prediction concerning the fu-
ture OF Cuba, especially In connection with
annexation. He replied: "The forecast
may be outlined In four points. First, Cub
will not be annexed until she asks for II;
