Obituary.

Daily B. Carnahan was born Dec,
5th, 1878 at East Liberty, o., died
Aug. 9, 1908, at Columbus, O., aged "A
years, 8 months and 4 days. Daisy
united with the Church of Christ,
here, February l, 1898 under the
preaching of o. E. Oldaker. She was
an earnest Christian worker, and
was always willing to do what good
she could. Prior to her marriage
she was engaged in work at the Odd
Fellows Home, Springfield. Ohio
While there she was loved by all who
knew her.
On October 18th she was united in
marriage to Charles C. Rea, and has
since resided at Columbus. She
proved to be a faithful and devoted
wife, but all too soon, we think, the
home she made happy is broken: but
God knows best.
We can never forget her kindly
smile and CHEEKY ways, as she wa.
always looking on the bright side OF
life. -

EVERY candidate for Representa-
tive and Senator ought to be inter
viewed on the question of the canals
The ring has got the start by pledg-
ing the Republican party to keep up
the rotten canal system. and this
means big raid on the State Treas
ury next winter. The people ought
to know where the candidates for
legislative honors stand, on this
question. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been squandered to keep
up corrupt canal ring, and instead
of planning to increase this expense,
and make necessary again a State
tax levy, every useless piece of canal
ought to be sold.

beautiful Chautauqua grounds at
Urbana and listening to some of the
celebrated speakers. The large tab

place for routing. Rev. Sam Jones
in his lecture. and medley of Philos-

audience in one burst of APP
plause and laughter. He paid
a beautiful tribute to President
Roosevelt. He said the President
was broncho rider that was good
for a passage on the ship of state for
another four years, and commended
the way he is fighting the trusts and
postoffice frauds. and said that Bryan
had got himself out of the race by
his IS to i policy. The lecture of
Mrs. Laura Ormiston Chant, of Lon
