The Dangerous Drama,

Charles Frohman is laughing over
the naivete of woman friend whose
young daughter wanted to see "a
beautiful play, with lots of ginger in
it,
''I'd rather you didn't attend the the
alter just yet, dear" said the mother.
"I'm afraid the influence of some OF
the present plays is demoralizing.
What is this particular one"
Its very exciting, the boy next door
told me; it's a sort of Buffalo Bill
play, full of fights, and gambling and
murders, and things"
ooh, that's all right then, was the
reply, in a measured tone, eth send
one Of the maids with you. | feared
it might be a society drama"'-New

morning, several hours after her
sons death.
Joe Cover has been one of the
best known citizens of Ashland for
the past twelve years. He had an
uncommonly bright and well in
formed mind He was posted on
public affairs as few men were, and
was a forceful and virile writer.
His father founded the Grant County
Herald, and it was in this newspa-
per Office that he first obtained a
liking for politics, and ability as a
writer. He was editor of the Herald
for two years, succeeding his father,
and was a frequent contributor to
newspapers, until short time ago.
At the time of his death, he was at
work on a signed article on the
tariff for the Press. He was an I'M
compromising, answering Republi-
can, and few writers could puncture
the arguments of the opposition, as
efectually as he. He took consid-
cradle pride in his sons ability in
this line, and at the time the latter
was student at the state university
he took great pride and pleasure in
some publications from the latter's
pen. While he was private secre-
tary to the late Senator Cameron,
he became acquainted with many
prominent men in Wisconsin and at
the nations capital. He was one of
the most expert stenographers in
the state, and it is likely that the
nerve destroying work of a court
reporter, which he followed for SO
many years, was partly the cause
of his first breakdown, eight years
ago, and was indirectly the cause of
his death. Mr.. Cover had a keen
sense of humor, which frequently
found expression not only in his
conversation, but in his writings as
well. The writer knew Joe Cover
personally for eleven years, and
with many others, who were fav-
ored with his friendship, feel per-
sonal loss in the death of their old
time friend. The blow is especially
hard upon the wife, the son and the
aged mother.
The body will be taken to Lancas-
ter on the 800 tomorrow afternoon,
and the funeral services will be held
in that city on Friday.

Obituary-K notwell.

CTake We heed, watch and pray; for We
know not when the time is Mark 1889
Alice L. Knotwell was born at
BeeGown, Wis. May 26, 1854, she
was married Dec. 25, 1883 to G. Ere
mont Currant. She departed this
life at Potosi, Wis, June z, 1908.
Aged 80 years and IL days. With
her sorrowing husband, she leaves
seven children to mourn, two boys
and five girls; one sister Mrs. Anna
Porter, of Missouri, and six brothers,
William, of Montana, Herbert, of
Kansas, Elliott, of Lancaster and
John, Rivers and Lincoln of Bee
town also survive. The deceased
had lived all her days in the vicinity
where she was born. We all knew
Alice. She was quite and unobtru-
sive among strangers, but among
old acquaintance she was jOvial
and of friendly manners. She was
devoted to her home, and was not
often seen beyond its precincts; yet
all who entered there were accord
ed genial welcome, and given the
best she had The large concourse
of neighbors at her funeral, and
the sorrow that could not be hidden
showed that she had held a warm
place in many affections. She had
been a strong and healthy woman,
and none thought on that bright
day, when she went about attend
ing to the ways Of her household
preparatory to leaving the Children
for short visit with their fathers
people, that death was lurking near,
and how little she thought when in
motherly admonition she left them
that those dear children, would
never again hear the mothers voice
this side the golden shore.
While she was dying at Potosi,
the children at home all unconscious
of the sudden illness that had come
upon her, were joyfully anticipating
her return-Alas.
1--WE know when moons shall wane,
When summer birds from far shall
cross the sea;
When Autumn's hue shall tinge the golden
grain
But who shall teach Is when to look
for the, oh death?"
The funeral cortege from PotOsi
was met on Tuesday following the
demise, at the village church
in Beetown by very sorrowful
gathering of relatives and friends.
Rev. j. A. Jameson spoke to the
large assembly. The floral tokens
were many and beautiful. Inter
ment was by the side of her parents
in the Beetown cemetery. The
stricken family have the sympathy
of the entire community.
Beyond lifes tolls and cares
It's hopes and joys, it's WEAKNESS and sorrow,
It's sleepless nights, its days of smiles
and tears;
Will be long sweet life, marked by years
One bright unending morrow.
Ear hath not heard the song
OF rapturous praise within that shining
portal
No heart of man hath dreamed what
joys belong
To thatredeemed and happy blood-waShed
throng
All glorious and immortal.

THE prices for poultry have not been
30 high as they are at present since the
civil war, and the farmers and grow
ers of poultry in this part OF Delaware
have no complaints to make on that
score. Turkeys are selling from fifteen
to seventeen cents per pound alive,and
from eighteen to twenty cents for dry
picked. Ducks go rapidly at fourteen
and fifteen cents per pound, while most
any kind of old chickens bring twelve
and thirteen cents per pound alive.
Certainly the farm wives Will have
comfortable rolls to fix up for Christ
mas from out of the poultry money.
There are many conditions TO bring
about this state of affairs; the general
prosperity of the country, a scarcity VI

was caused by the unfavOrable weather
of last summer, and the ever increas-
