OBITUARY.

Alkaline N. Mumford was born in
Rushville, Yates county, N. Y, Jan
l, 1885, and died Sunday morning,
Jan. 81, 1904, aged SO years, and sc
days. She came from New York tc
Minnesota in 1882 where she had
lived with a sister for four years,
then to Wisconsin in 1886 where she
spent the balance of her life with her
sister, Mrs. E. B. Armstrong. There
were nine children in the family,
only three of whom are now living.
She united with the M. E. church
at the age of fifteen and remained
devoted Christian till the close
of life. Her parents were members
of the same church, her father a
physician and class leader for thir-
ty years; one brother a lawyer,
another physician.
The funeral was held Tuesday
noon at the home of E. B. Arm
strong, services being conducted by
Rev. T. ]. Snodgrass, after which
the remains were taken to Prescott
and from there, accompanied by
Mrs. Armstrong, to Naples, N. Y,
to the family burial place.
Surely this patient, unsel6sh life
should have more than passing no.
tice, yet who can measure it's worth?
She was of a very retiring nature
and only those who knew her best
realize how pure and upright was
her every day living. She was abund-
antly ready to go, saying, do not
shed tear for me, It's better So"
1t has been said that paths of grief
lead up to God" and we doubt
not she met His approving smile
and is now beyond" where sick
ness, pain and death can never en-
ter" Let us emulate her virtues,
that when the record of our life is
made it may be said of us, as of
the dear departed,

DIED.

LAWRENCE.-At his home in this
city, Wednesday morning, Feb. 8,
1904, Mr.. B. N. Lawrence, in the
18th year of his age.
The death of Mr.. Lawrence was
sudden and unexpected. He had
been at his shop the most of the
day Tuesday. That night he was
attacked with hemorrhage of the
lungs from which he expired few
minutes past midnight.
Benjamin Needham Lawrence was
born at Atchison, Essex county,
Vermont, Sept. %, 1925. When a
young man of 19 he went to Penn
sy1vania, where he married Miss
Susan Knight, who survives him.
After residence of eight years in
Pennsylvania he moved with his
family to Minnesota and two years
later to Gilman, in this county.
For two years the family lived at
Springfield, Missouri, but for the
last twenty-four years they have
been residents of this city.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence were
born twelve children. Of these
three, two sons and one daughter,
are dead. The surviving children,
five sons and four daughters, are:
George A. Lawrence of Centuria;
Mrs. Frances H. Randall of Los An
geles, CAL; John H. Lawrence of
River Falls; Mrs. Mary J. Price of
Duluth, Mimi; Theodore Lawrence
of Clam Falls; Mrs. Lucy L. Was
son of this city; Frank ]. Lawrence
of Oso, Washington; Mrs. Emma B.
Pauly of Minneapolis and William
Lawrence of West Superior.
Mr.. Lawrence, the deceased, was
highly respected as neighbor and
a citizen. He was a man of more
than ordinary intelligence, of wide
observation and information. Re-
ligiously he was sincere believer
in Spiritualism and morally his
character was above criticism.
The funeral will be held from the
family residence Saturday at one
O'Clock in the afternoon, conducted
by Rev. D. B. Spencer.

NO RAILROAD PASSES
FOR JUDGES.
From the Atlanta Constitution.


Constituting Counsel Edward
Baxter recent strong statement
to mean that the railroads and
other corporations of an inter-
state character intend hereafter
to place their chef reliance in
the federal courts, the Atlanta
News, taking the developments
in the case of United States Judge
|Swayne as text, calls attention
to some practices that are worth
noting in this connection.
The testimony in the Swayne
case as brought out by a con-
gressional committee of investi-
cation, seowed that this federal
judge was in tie habit of accept
ing not free passes alone, but all
sorts of favors at the hands of the
corporations having business in
his courts; instances were cited
of private cars, we'll stocked at
the expense Of the railroads. of
wholesale franking of horses and
carriages and personal effects by
railroads and express companies,
and of similar practices which
the judges themselves should re-
pudiate and which corporations
should, by the law of the land, be
prohibited from extending.
Here in Georgia the accept
ance by judges Of passes is pro-
hibited by the state laws; this
restriction should be extended
until it is made to apply to all
oficeholders of every character,
especially to uembers of the
law. making branch of the state
government; and the same prin-
ciple should by all means be in
corporated into the federal stat
utes by act of congress.
There is crying need for its
application to judges of the fed
eral bench who, in the very ma
ture of their duties, have most to
do with the matters involving
the interests of the great rail-
road corporations; and it should
be made applicable also to all
members of the Legislative
branch of the government, to
senators and representatives in
congress, and to all officials.
If the United States courts are
hereafter to be the exclusive ar
bitter of differences between the
railroads and the people, no time
should be lost in purging the
federal courts of suspicion of
favoritism under which they
must rest so long as they accept
favors at the hands of the corpo-
rations having cases in their
courts.
The federal judges should, in
this respect, be placed upon ex.
actly the same plane as are the
the state judges of Georgia.
They should be prohibited ac-
cepting favors of any kind from
corporations under penalty of
Impeachment.
And while congress is passing
laws o. this kind with reference
to the federal judiciary, it should
make the prohibition apply with
equal force in the matter of free
transportation or other favors to
