raised in this city, died Of pneu-
monin last Friday night at Rock

Mr.. Machon who has been suspended
from his office of superintendent OF
free delivery by Postmaster General
Payne, will in all probability be rein
stated after the storm blows over and
something else occupies the public
mind. He is said to have the written
order of some of the highest officials
for some of his actions that are now
called in question, and it would hurt
the party, you know" to expose too
much rottenneSs. These scandals are
never exposed by the party that perpe-
trates them. The star route frauds and
the other Republican scandals were
only uncovered because the Democrats
controlled the house of representatives
and thus had the power of investga-
ton. The scandals OF the Spanish war
were but slightly uncovered, though
Investigations were undertaken and Il
general coat of whitewash was given
for the sake of the party If the invcs-
legations had been thorough, the facts
would have staggered the country ana
brought disgrace upon many that are
now holding high offices.

A NOTORIOUS SPOKESMAN.
Civil Service Reform Association on
Surveyor James $. Clarkson.

Civil Service Reform Association on
Surveyor James $. Clarkson.
Many people were much surprised
when the president appointed James s.
Clarkson surveyor of the port of New
York. His reputation was unsavory as
manipulation of the negro delegates
at Republican conventions, especially
in 1888, when John Sherman and Alger
were candidates and General Harrison
was eventually nominated. twas open
~ stated that some of the southern del
egates were bought for three different
candidates. If Clarkson had quietly at
tended to his duties as surveyor his pc
culiar political reputation would not
nave been remembered except by the
active politicians, who watch all the
moves on the political chessboard. But
Clarkson has been showing much per-
nicious activity in other parts of the
country than New York. Nearly every
week it is reported in Washington that
Clarkson had been seen quietly Slip
ping in or out of the depot, but never
registering at hotels. He was noticed
to make bee line for Postmaster Cen
eral Payne and was supposed to be re-
porting progress on the capturing of
the delegation from the southern states
for the nomination of President Roose-
Welt Mt the coming national convention
His movements had been noted by
the Civil Service Reform association,
and III its annual report just published
he Is described as notorious as
spokesman" and "a frequent absentee
from his office engaged in political
work in other parts Of the country.
His department has once been the sub
ject of investigation by the civil serv-
Ice commission, while In the only two
important appointments he has made,
those Of deputy surveyors, he has re-
quested and through his insistence has
received, in one case by the order OF
President Roosevelt, permission to ig
more the rules governing promotions in
the New York custom house."
Who would have thought of it-that
President Roosevelt, who has been re-
garded as an ardent civil service re-
former, would be mixed up with the
notorious spokesman and manipulation
of negro delegates? How Boss Hanna
and Quay and Plat and other notori-
Gus spoilsmen must laugh in their
sleeves that even the reform element
Of the Republican party Is willing to
do most anything to win! But perhaps
President Roosevelt considers himself
a I,c
the corrupt bosses Of his own party and
found that his only chance of success
was in fighting the devil with fire.

Business

comes pretty near being II profession.
1t looks easy to run u grocery. To
most people it seems to lie simply
renting u storo.room, buying n stock
OF goods aud hanging out sign.
But the truth is It takes years Of
training and experience to conduct u
thorough grocery, where the best
foods only are sold, where prices are
never higher than they ought to be,
where the service Is prompt, where all
sorts and conditions OF tastes are
suited. There arc hundreds of little
Gins and "outs To be learned
about the best places To buy, when to
make purchases, how to take adyan-
tage OF discounts, and hun ired
other things. We been learning
how to run grocery for many
years, We are still learning We
never expect TO get through making

At Rest.

al DAui DoFIu h'Iu'ldIu IL uedu. LII
was announced In the last issue of the
Herald that the report of his death
was almost hourly expected. The
news arrived Friday night that death
had claimed its victim at about nine
O'Clock that evening.
The cause of death was blood pois-
oning which resulted from an attack
of appendicitis. Mr.. Goddard was
taken sick some days before Christ
mas but nothing serious was appre-
hended. The DrS. Nelson's, however
from the start fea red the worst and
after consultation of the doctors
with DR.. Haggard, it was decided
that an operation must be performed
at once. On Christmas day he was
taken to Topeka and on the next Drs.
McClintock Of Topeka and Nelson of
this city performed the operation.
Even before the operation had been
performed the blood poisoning had
begun, and the doctors at no time
after entertained any great hope of
his recovery. The body was prepared
for shipment and arrived in this city
Saturday evening on No. 3, and was
taken in charge by Undertaken Lane.
Mr. Goddard was member in good
standing Of the NJ. WA. and R.N.A.
and carried $4,000 life insurance. In
mediately after receiving notice of
his death special meeting of his
neighbOr WOodman was called to make
such arrangements as the departed
neighbor had wished regarding the
funeral ceremonies. BY his special re-
quest almost the entire lodge services
were cut out and the church given the
most prominent pLrt in conducting
them.
The funeral services occurred at
the Baptist Church at two o'clock
Sunday afternoon. From his neigh.
Dor WO0dman A. 5. HarwOOd, Walter
Green, Simeon FleiSher, Ed Page,
L. Z. Connlryman and NJ. w. Hard,
man were selected pail bearers,
About seventy five of the members
met at the W0Odman hall and marched
to the home Of the deceased.
Promptly at two o'clock they escorted
the remains to the church, the casket
decked with flowers being placed be-
fore tho shrOuded pulpit, and the
members filing into the seats reserved
for them. Here the church assumed
full CONTROL Of the ceremonies. A
choir composed Of MeSSrs. Arnold and
Stearns, Mrs TadlOck, Mrs. Hassard,
and Miss TOwnSley with Mrs. Irving
Rogers as accOmpanyiSt furnished
appropriate music. Rev. HaSsard
read the 18th chapter of the book of
job and preached II lifting sermon
taking for the text Revelation l4.13
Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth; Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their
labors; and their works do follow
them" After the church services
the WOOdman escorted the remains to
the cemeUry followed by large con-
course of friends where they were tend.
erly consigned to their final abode.

SENT TO COUNTY JAIL.
>. II. Neal, Once High in Profession
and Public Esteem Goes Wrong.

Deadwood. S. D., Oct. 19.-Upon en-
tering a plea of guilty to the charge of
making threats, S. III. Neal of Belle
I'ourche. was sent to the Lawrence
county Jail in default OF $3.50 bonds.
The complainant was c. Cardinal. of
st. Onge. against whose person and
property Mr.. Neal is charged with hay
ing uttered the threats.
Friends who ave looked into the
case express great sympathy for Mr..
Neal. He is n man who at one time
stood highly in his profession as an
attorney. For several years he was
prosecuting attorney for Sully county.
$. ID. Then he met family difficulties
and from hi time he seems to have
experienced the most unhappy cir
cumstances. He has been charged with
insanity. but it Is asserted that his
mental condition, II 1t Is lot sound. is
due more to the p~rivation he has suf-
, fered of late years than through any
thing else, and is not OF a permanent
character. Two insanity boards have
declared him sane, n 1t is now the
sentiment among his friends that all
he requires is some announcement and
assistance.
