Heart Disease Kills Former COOdIand
Man in CaIifOrnfa-An Old Soldier
and Member Of G. A. r.

John D. Wsreing, who lived In Good
land from 1894 to 1899, died in San Die
60, California, Dec 8, 1902, Of heart dis
ease. He was So years old and soldier
Of the civil war.
All Of the older residents Of Sherman
county viii remember the appearance
Of Mr.. WareiHg-a large, fine looking
and apparently healthy man, always
with cane to steady a body that the
war left to cripple around upon a wood
en- stick Of leg.
That was J. D. Wareing. Except for
his gray halr one would think him too
young to have served in a war that has
gone into history for 40 years. But like
many another boy jealous for his coun-
try be marched to the battles front
when only II.
He served four years and was dis
charged on account Of gun shot wounds,
July %, 1885. he enlisted in cOmpa ny
D. Second Pennsylvania reserves, Au-
gust, 1851, and became color sergeant Of
his regiment. In the assault on Peters
burg, June II, he was wounded IN the
right thigh and lay on the field for 48
hours.
Mr.. Wsreing was a Pennsylvania by
birth and returned to his native state
after the war. In 1891 he moved from
Philadelphia to Sherman county and
lived near Kanorado. He carried the
mail from LambOrn to Griswold and
Klink for two years, moving to Good
land in 1894 He was troubled with
heart disease while living here and
moved to the low altitude Of San Diego,
California in 1899. He suffered many
years from heart trouble. Since last
October he was not able to be about,
and died suddenly on December 8.
He was buried by the Datus z. Coon
post Of San Diego, of which he was post
commander. While be was in Good
land he was member Of the post here.
His wife, comparatively young to his
years, survives him.

Mr. and Mrs. f. S. Boggs both. are

Mr. and Mrs. T. s BOggs. both, are
dead
The taking OF Of Mr.. Boggs by Pnsu-
mOnis, was reported in this paper re-
Gently, and now. comes the news Of the
death Of Mrs. Boggs also a victim of
pneumonia. Mrs. Boggs was taking the
body Of her husband from Rocklin, Cal,
their home, to Wichita for burial, and
while on the way Mrs. Boggs was taken
suddenly Ill and died at Ogden, Utah.
1t Is not known here what disposition
was made Of the bodies. but, as he was
an engineer and Mrs Boggs has daught-
has at Wichita it Is probable that they
we're both taken to Wichita and buried.
Several years ago Mr.. BOggs was firing
out Of GOOdland. At the time of his
death be was engineer at ROcklin, Cal.
GoOdland has seen the coming and the
going Of a multitude Of railroad men.
They are scattered pretty much over the
United States but IN a fraternaI brother
hood they are never lost to record and
to memory, and their passing always
comes to their comrades with reverence
and regret.
Time levels the work of man and
brings to silence the babe in the cradle,

The Inter Sese club, whose purpose"
said one Of the members, Tuesday, sis
sociability and to talk about their neigh
bOrs, met with Mrs. Pauline Hartman
Monday night.
Whenever the club meets with Mrs.
Hartman an unusually good time is re-
ported, and this was no exception to the
rule.
The hostess drew upon the artistic
facultyoi the members by giving each
some chewing wax. OF course It only
requires muscle to chew gum, but when
a members stick had been reduced to
Elasticity she was given a card at the
bottom Of which was written the name
Of some animal, and on the card she was
to stick her wad Of gum chewed into
the likeness Of the animal.
All tried to be faithful to the task in
hand, and even from the delicate plum
age of the cock 20 the fine haired Poland
China pig can still be seen the sweet in
dentations OF the maidens' teeth. The
first prize was awarded TO Mrs. Aten, who
chewed the rooster, and the BOBBY prize
to Mrs. Anthony, who labOred with the
less toothsOme greyhound.
Light refreshments we're served.

SHERMAN COUNTY CLUB.
Former Residents OF the County Hold Their
Annual Reunion at Harper, Kan, and
] Celebrate Marriage Of Miss 1Ieeker.
~ Worthv - ii III -

1t Is a worthy trait Of all people who
have lived in Sherman county and sub
sequently moved away to become clan
nish. They always lived together neigh
bOrly and when there is a removal sew
eral families manage to join partners
and go together. at Harper, Kan, is 2
colony FISHERMAN county people. Every
year they have a reunion and write back
to the folks they they left behind them
friendly greeting.
Mrs. @. P. Harris, who sent the follow
ing confesses she is a little late in re-
porting this year but still it will be of
interest to many:
The Sherman County club, or short
grass people, as We are called, met on
December %, at $50 o'clock, p. n. at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. +. Meeker
to witness the marriage Of their daught-
er Grace to Mr.. a. c. Freeman. After
the ceremony which was very impress
i've, we were ushered into the dining
room where an elaborate supper was
served.
"The evening was spent in social visit
ing and music both instrumental and
vocal.
mr.. and Mrs. Freeman received many
useful and beautiful presents and at
late hour we adjourned to meet tie next
day, Christmas, with G. ". Crist and
wife in Harper. By IL o'clock we were
all there except Grandpa Meeker who
thought the distance too great for him
to go. The first thing was dinner which
was bountiful one. Mr.. Hill and son
Madison, formerly Of Ruleton, Sherman
county, arrived in Harper that morning
from Elk county, Kan, and spent the
day with US.
Mr.. Hill has purchased $50 acres Of
land one mile east and two miles north
of Harper and will move here next
spring. So you see our club is growing.
Some getting married, others moving in.
"When dinner was over the photo man
cane and took our pictures. When
night came many Of Us were eight and
ten miles from home but the distance
was nothing compared with the pleasant
time spent visiting.
Since our last meeting death had
claimed one Of our members, Mrs. Lutte
Bennett, and she was sadly missed when
We came together as she was always
there and had q kind word and a pleas
ant smile for everyone
Those present this year we're Mr.. and

1t must be apparent to every one that
qualities OF the highest order are neces-

modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only,
but Of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commentator, consequently.
becomes important to others. since to
meet the requirements of the well In.
formed of all countries the method OF
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above Is true
not Of food products only. but is espe-
; cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly quarter of century OF
growth and general use the excellent
remedy, Syrup of Figs. is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. Its quality Is
due not only to the excellence of the
! combination of the laxative and carmn-
alive principles of plants known to act
} most beneficially on the system and pre-
scented In the form of a pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but also to the method
of manufacture of the California Fig

clan who is we'll informed and he will
answer at once that 1t is an excellent
laxative. If at ali eminent in his pro-
fession and has made a special study Of
laxatives and their effects upon the sys-
tenn he will tell you that 1t is the best
of family laxatives. because 1t is SIM
pile and wholesome and cleanses and
sweetens the system effectually, when
a laxative is needed, without any un-
pleasant after-effects. Every well-in-
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup Of Figs is an excel

the regular price of fifty cents per bot

She Has Slept for % Days.

Salt Lake. Utah, March 30.-Phy-
sicians of this city, more particularly
those attached to the staff OF the HOLY
Cross hospital, are at loss to &C.
count for the condition of Miss Bessie
Kneit, 22 years of age, who for the
past 2S days has been asleep. During
that time the young lady has not
spoken a word nor had, to all appear
ances. a waking moment. After the
first week of her long slumber she
was taken from the home of her par
ents in this city and removed to the
hospital, where, despite numerous eff
forts on the part Of physicians to
arouse her. her condition remains un
changed.
She lies with closed eyes, breathing
naturally, day after day and night af-
ter night. At long intervals she raises
her eyelids a little, but never opens
them. When tapped on the forehead
she is seemingly annoyed, but gives
no other evidence Of consciousness.
She is fed at suitable intervals with
liquid food, which she swallows QUITO
matically when 1t is poured down her
throat, but in spite of this nourish-
ment she is gradually wasting away,
and the physicians believe that should
her present condition continue she will
pass from sleep to death through the
exhaustion of the vital forces.
