painful attack of rheumatism.
Grandpa Powell has gone to Huron,

ished the usual amount of fun.
Rev. George W. Davis and wife and
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Patterson spent We'd
nesday hunting in the neighborhood,
taking dinner at the Dornberg farm.
Berry growers are having hard time
laying down the bushes and covering
them for the winter. Bending the stiff
prickly canes is about the toughest job
on the farm.
Those who are not invited out Nov.

that turkey is indigestible anyhow, and
hash with an extra dash of cayenne,
isn't such a bad dinner after all.
The Rapidan Literary club held its
first session in Weedman hall Saturday
night. Miss Alma Sandstrom was
elected president, Grover just vice presi-
dent, Miss Bessie Jameson secretary.
Threshing is over and everybody is
glad of it. Wheat is very poor, but oats
and barley are a fair crop. Julius
Fredricks did part of the work and the
Rapidan Thresher company did some
very neat jobs with their fine new j. l.
Case separator.
Nobody seems to have raised turkeys
this year except Dick Jones. 1t is said
he has fine flock. The entire neigh

tanned by every conscientious citizen,
have prevented the taking of any steps

INTO THE LAKE.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Mr.. Overman returned yesterday after
noon from hunting trip to Loon lake,
bringing fine lot of ducks back with
him. He had an unpleasant experience
yesterday while on the lake. In pushing
out of some rushes with his little hunt
ing boat, he sat on the back end to
make the front end rise, that he might
push out the easier. Just then flock of
ducks flew over, and he fired at them.
The recoil of the gun caused him to lose
his balance and he fell into the lake, in
water that was nearly up to his neck.
He lost his gun, but succeeded in fish
ing it up.

From Mondays Daily.
1t is learned that Mr.. Armstrong; as
sets are about 100000, and his iabili-
ties about 100000. The assets con-
sist largely of real estate, SO there is
apt to be shrinkage. The case is be-
lieved to be the most important that
has gone through bankruptcy in Mime
sofa. Mr.. Armstrong made an assign
ment under the state law, and then a
petition in involuntary bankruptcy was
filed. The appointment of receiver will
no doubt be a surprise at st. James
where most of the creditors reside. The
application for receiver was made by
seven or eight of the creditors.
Mr.. Lamm's bond was furnished by the

MEMORIAL is ADOPTED
Late Judge ShissIer Praised for Hon.
esty and Sunny Disposition.
Kind Words Spoken CT The Deceased
BY His Fellow Barris!ers.

From Wednesdays Daily.
District court convened at ten o'clock
this forenoon, with large attendance
of attorneys, jurors, witnesses and
others.
Previous to the taking up of the regu-
lar work of the court brief memorial
session was held out of respect for the
memory of the late Judge Ira p Shiss-
Ter.
The committee appointed at recent
meeting of the bar association to pre-
pare resolutions to be presented on the
first day of the term presented its re-
port. 1t was in the form of memorial
and was prepared and read by Judge
Severance.
w. N. Plymat moved the adoption of
the resolution and that they be engross-
ed on the records of the court.
A. R. Pau ST., member of the COM
mittee, said that there was not mem
Der of the bar or acquaintance in the bar
in the state who could look back and
remember the time that he had any hard
feelings toward the deceased. Judge
Shissler had the most pleasant and sun
ny disposition of any person the speak
Ter ever met. They were law partners for
two years or more, and never for a mo-
ment were there any unpleasant feelings
between them. In every respect the
deceased was man whose example as a
lawyer was one to be followed. All peo-
pie have their failings, but his did not
harm his fellow man, but rather himself
if anyone As member of society and
the bar, he filled his position honestly,
fairly and to the best of his ability, and
it will be long years before his memory
fore him a second time for the sensure
will fade away.
City Attorney Daley said that the
city will never have better judge to
look after its interests. He had facul-
ty that was unexcelled in handling
criminal cases. These feared to come be-
fore him a second time for the censure
he gave them more than though fear
of punishment. The city had reason to
feel grateful to him for his honesty.
Two experts had checked up the accounts
of the municipal court during his incum-
bency and neither had found one cent
misappropriated by him. After receiving
money he never rested until he had ac-
counted for it to the city and turned it
into the treasury.
Judge Cray said that he was associat-
ed with Judge Shissler and had been on
the other side of the case many times in
the practice of law, and he had never
heard him criticised for lack of courtesy
or fairness. With his CHEEKY disposition
and evident enjoyment of the practice of
law, it was pleasure to be associated
with him or arrayed against him in a
case. The court ordered that the reso-
luton be spread on the minutes of the
court
