In eulogizing the man, to whom he referred
as Statesman. scholar. logician, gentle
man. the grandest Roman Of them all" j.
Sterling Morton had. he said, honored the
state OF Nebraska as had been given to few
men to do. He was one Of it's early pio-
neers and had contributed intellectually to
the progress and honor of his adopted
state in every epoch OF its history. His
name ard memory lived In the affections
Of oil who knew him. His fame ard popu-
larity extended beyond the limits Of his
own state and we're national and even in
ternational.
Representative spurlock OF Cass. whose
father in the early periods Of Nebraska
political history was one of Morton's emf
nent opponents. but who later was his
friend, paid the late statesman a cordial
and eloquent tribute. He spoke especially
OF the high moral character Of Mr., Morton
and Of his great work for the state.
Representative Sears Of Burt was the

mo state could hold such men within its
borders without being the better for their

"Mr. Speaker, on the white walls Of the
history OF this country will be written,
under the blue flag that he loved, the
name of him whom we honor today"
+ Representative LOOMS OF Dodge in his
eulogy referred to the late Mr.. Morton as
always the most remarkable man in Ne
braska. The secret, Of his great success
in life lay not only in his vast intellect,
but in his positive aggression on every
question. He knew no such word as fail
or retreat and always put his whole being
into everything he undertook"
Mr.. LOOMS said in recalling the names
Of some Of Mr.. Morton's oldest associates
of those living he thought first OF DR..
George L. Miller of Omaha and expressed

NO JOKE
But 90 lbs. of Solid Flesh.

II Mark Twain should write a story about
a person who weighed 80 pounds and in
creased her weight to $50 pounds Tor
double) In one year by quitting coffee and
drinking Postum Coffee, every one who
read II would say: There's a Joke behind
that somewhere"
There is a we'll known lady in Coraop-
oils, Pa, who actually made this gain in
weight as the direct result of leaving of
coffee and taking up Postum Food Coffee.
1t was a very earnest matter and far from
a joke for her. Her gain in general health
kept pace with the increase in weight.
She says: For many years suffered
with stomach arrangement and violent and
oft-recurring headaches. II was not an un.
usual thing for our family Of four to use
pa to 3 pounds Of coffee a week. I was
suspicious that my troubles we're due 10
coffee. but as l did not like tea or cocoa or
chocolate there seemed no palatable hot
drink for me to take at my meals.
Then it was l heard OF Postum and
decided to try It. / was just convalescinR
from a serious illness. and was very weak
and emaeiated, I know It sounds like
what people would call a 'hsh story.
but l actually went from 80 pounds to 1sc
pounds weight in one year. All the sallow-
ness disappeared from my skin and | now
carry my 40 years very lightly indeed. Nv
change In health is so great that many OF
my friends make a Joke Of Il to this day,
but my nerves are good and I am happy
and contented. so can AFFORD to laugh with
them.
II hrst learned of Postum from a family
in Indianapolis. where ! saw the mother OF
six children emerge from invaiidism &c
perfect health on Postum after leaving OF
coffee. Soon after that another friend
made a remarkable recovery by dropping
coffee and using Postum and when I moved
here a neighbor shook on coffee and nery.

neor and fireman Of the locomotive, entered
his carriage, which was in waiting.

Lusby, who was then Sheriff of this
county. 1t was purchased by Samuel
Stcrritt, of Baltimore. who was Treas
urer of the Canal Company. for 100000.
There being doubts of the validity of this
SALE Sterritt conveyed the canal back to
the company in February, 1919, in order
that it might be resold for the benefit of
the creditors. An examination of the
minute book of the company, from 1921
to 1880. which is all that is now extunt.
throws some little light upon the history
of the company during that time.
During that period there We're saw
mills in operation ut Conowingo and De-
tOraro, and the company were quarrehng
II great deal with the propretorS of the
mills about the quantity of water they
used. The managers were also annoyed
10y persons who used the tow-path for a
highway. and in 1899 they passed a re-
solution requiring their agents to place
such instructions on il as would prevent
it from being injured by wheeled car
IagrS. This year the company opened a
quarry, near the east end of the bridge,
which was the beginning of the trade in
granite that has added 50 much to the
prosperity of Port Deposit. The same
year the managers fixed the rates of toll
for coal bargrS or arkS. which indicates
that but few of them had come down the
river before this time. \ motion was
made this year by one. of the managers
that Il model of the boats used for the
transportation of heavy goods and mer-
chandiSe on the river Mel$ey. near Liver
pool. be obtained for the purpose of as
containing whether such boats We're suit
able for use on the canal and for the
passage to Baltimore. This was only
about half II century ago. and it is
hard t" realize that the people of that
time We're ;" little acquainted with the
means and appliances for canal and in
land navigation. But the reader must
rot forget that this canal was among
he first constructed in this country, and
that steam navigation was then in its
infancy.

1t used to he Il tradition that phySi-
