Charles B. Morgan.

| Died-At his home in Great Bend,
Kansas, April 10th. 1908, at 3:25 a.
M, at the age of IL years and 6
m onths.
Chas. B. Morgan was born Nov. IL,
1882, in the county of Radnasshier,
England, in the parish of Lambister,
Great Britain. He sailed for the
United States at the age of II years,
and at the age of 81 learned the har-
| nessmaker's trade. In 1858. at the
age of 26, he was married to Francis
A. Hoffner. aged 10, at Mt. Pleasant,
Hamilton Co., Ohio.
When the Civil war broke out in
1861 he was recruiting officer at Gin
Fcinnati, Ohio, and in 1862 he joined
the u. S. navy, receiving an honora-
bic discharge on account of sickness
after nine months of service for his
country.
Deceased came to Kansas in Octo-
Der, 1874, and has resided in Barton
county ever since-for % years, most
of that time being employed at his
trade, that of ,rnessmaker, in Great
Beud. Four sons and three daughters
were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan.
The wife, Francis A. Morgan, two
sons, Harry and E. E. Morgan, and
three daughters, Mrs. Will Legg of
Cleo, Ok, Mrs. J. D. WEIGH, of Kan
sas City, Mo-, and Mrs. P. E. Duffy

LIES Pickering spark shown for the
last time.
Mr.. Morgan was member of Pap
Thomas Post G. A. r. of Great Bend,
and has been a member Of the Ma
sonic orders since the age of 81, the
Blue Lodge of this order having
charge of the funeral, which took
place at 4 p. m. Sunday, April II, the
services being held at the M. E.
church and attended by large num-
Der of people.
So, another busy life has run its
course; another of our old friends and
neighbors has passed from sight for
ever; another earthly link has broken,
and another memory strand that
guides US to the mysterious beyond is
leading out across deaths waters to
the unknown shore. Let US keep
that strand bright and luminous, and
when our turn comes may we follow
it to another meeting with the depart
ed one.

present Mr.. Olds is strong candi-
date. but Catholic influence will be ex-
erted vigorously to defeat him The
Catholic priests and people have re-
solved to act unanimously inthis ques-
ton and if necessary will adopt siren
uous measures TO secure their ends.
1t is alleged that during 1.-the regime of
superintendent Odds that the Catholic
inmates of the industrial school were
absolutely denied freedom to practice
their religion and that every effort was
made to pervert their religious tastes.
They were forced, it is said. to attend
the Protestant Sunday school, and only
after complying with this rule We're
they allowed to even, sec the Golden
parish priest. Those who are acquaint-
ed with these facts are highly indig-
nant that there should even be: pos
sibility of his selection for the office,
and will endeavor to the utmost of their
ability to have him stricken from the
list o. candidates.

to Denver people, who are among DR..
Conatys stanchest friends. The news
was received by Bishop Matz on Sat
urday morning, and Immediately tele-
grams of congratulation were sent by
the local clergy. DR.. Conaty has been
at the head of the Catholic university
at Washington for a number of years.
and il was in that capacity that he
made his warmest admirers among the
priests and people. Last July, when
the national Hibernian convention met
in this city. DR.. Conaty was called from
the capital to adjust some difficulties
which Threatened the dismemberment
of the organiza ton. As an arbitrator
he was eminently successful, and while
in Denver renewed a host of old ac-
ouaintances. His elevation to episco-
nal honors is a source of felicitation to
his many admirers. AS yet no appoint
ment of his successor has been an
nounced in this city.

the Annuncnation church. The cir
cumstance gave rise to numerous COM
ments on the subject, and the question
was frequently asked How could he be
buried from a Catholic church any
more than a member of any non
Catholic denomination" Here at last
is the solution of the problems. 1t has
been automatically learned that on his
deathbed Father Seregelly summoned
Rev. Father Robinson, pastor of the
Church of the Annunciation, and was
received by him into the Catholic
church in Roman obedience. For ten
years he had been priest of the
Greek Catholic church. but in his last
moments was given the grace to enter
the true fold He left his widow and
four small children in absolutely des-
titute circumstances, and through the
generosity of the people of Globeville
S400 has been raised with which the
family will go to Austria, where the
parents of Mrs. Seregelly reside with
a degree of comfort. The little church
is still without pastor. and will likely
remain So as there are few of the
priests of the Greek church in Amer
lea.

No. there Is no particular time specified
In which to give notices about line fences.
Reasonable notice Is required. usually
ten days. and sufficient time should elapse
after the notice is given to avoid dam

This whole question of division fences
Is very much modified BY the fence law
applying to different sections. And each
case Is very much dependent upon the
status Of the fence law applying. The
provisions OF the new Constitution in no
way affect the law.
