She was married to Mr.. u.s.. Dunhsm
on August IS, ls4s. This union was
blessed with four children. two boys
and two girls.
In the spring Of 1859 Mr.. Durham
came to Arkansas and settled at Van
Buren and In the fall he was Joined by
his wife where they have continuously
lived since, With the exception Of short
while spent In Connecticut about the
close Of the civil war.
Looking at It from human point Of
view we would say that they were ex.
csedingly unfortunate with their chill
dren. In 1862 Frank Augustus the oldest
son. then 10 years of age, died. In 1881
Miss Mary Starr, the beautiful daughter
Of 3s years, died. and In 1883 Joseph

Lord, and What I do thou kuowest

after. In the clear light Of eternity
we shall know and understand for the
present--we must wait.
In early life, before her marriage she
was converted and united with the
church In Middletown and on coming to
Van Buren she Joined the M. E. Church
South OF which she was . member until
her death. She Was one Of our Oldest
members. only two or three having
belonged to this church longer than she.
and 1t Can be said that she was loved by
the entire membership. young and old
From the beginning she lived q beauti-

FOR SLAUGHTER
Have Many Congressman
Been Marked.

Washington, d. c., July 25.--The
Democratic Congressional committee
has marked for slaughter this fall the
following among others:
Babcock, of Wisconsin, who is in a
political struggle with Governor La
Toilette; Dayton, of West Virginia;
Littaueur, of New York; Southwick,
of the Albany district of New York;
Slemp, the lone Republican from Vir-
ginia; Wachter, of Maryland and
Jackson, Of the same district: Lands,
of Indiana and three congressman in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, two in New
Jersey and two in Colorado.
In the Fifty-seventh congress the
Republicans had majority of forty
eight which the Democrats reduced
in the last congress to 30 This time
they assert, they are in a position to
wipe out nearly all of this majority.

COWH|D|NG
Of Regular Oldfashioned
Kind.

New Orleans, La, July 25.-A SEN
Bational cowhiding in the old style
occurred in the city today, the princi.
pals being two prominent cotton brok-
ers, also well known socially here and
in Boston, Mass Albert II. May was
the victim. He was met suddenly
by Asa Miller who had known him in
Boston where the two were members
Of the same social club. Miller quick
ley drew his cowhide and proceeded
to lay IL over the back and shoulders
of May. The latter was not very Sc
verely hurt the two men being sepa-
rated before, apparently, Miller had
assuaged his wrath.
According to friends Of Miller, he
has lost money in speculation recent
ly and had borrowed from May. The
latter, II Is declared, demanded the
return of the money advanced, where
upon Miller became offended and de-
termlned to wipe out the offense to
his sensibilities with the help of the
rawhide.

Ventilated Collar.

What may or may not be long
felt want is at last being supplied by
the introduction of perforated cellu
loid collars. They are intended for po
licemen, conductors and others who
are compelled to wear uniform col
lars while on duty. Some Of these
prompted both by economy and ex
pendiency, adopt celluloid collars. In
any temperature these compost ition
throat-pieces are hot. In warm wealth

An enterprising wholesale dry goods

article. 1t will retail at two for a

being made that the lines do not
close, as the surveyors say. On one
street the expression is used that the
line runs south, but to what point is
not stated. This is claimed to be a
fatal defect. 1t is further asserted that
the law regulating elections was vlo-
lated in that there were not sufficient
booths provided at the voting places.
One for every rs voters is required,
while at this election this was not
regarded. In addition to the above
there are other charges of irregular
itv.
1t is claimed by friends of Klinger
that the persons who got up the dis
trict went out of their way to include
his saloon, and that in doing so they
invalidated the entire election.
The temperance element of Alli-
ance, backed by the Anti-Saloon
league, will fight the case to the last.
AS the constitutionality of the law is
assailed, and as it is creature Of the
league, that body will have to fight 1t
in self-defense. The probability Is
that the case will go to the highest
courts in the state before it is finally
settled.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1904-07-29

A petition was filed Monday in pro-
bate court to have the recent Bran
mock law election held in Alliance set
aside as illegal. The complainant in
the case is Joseph C. Klinger pro-
prietor of one of the twelve saloons
that was voted out There is quite
an array of talent retained by the
plaintiff in the case, who, it is under
stood, represents the other dealers.
Judge J. p. Fawcett, Austin Lynch
and julius Whiting are all upon the
petition as counsel.
The hearing has been set for Au-
gust 4, which will be before a jury of
three nonresident free holders, as
provided for in the law.
The first attack made in the petit
tion is upon the law itself. 1t is
charged that the measure is unconstl-
tutional. This feature of the case
could hardly be determined without
the case to the higher courts.
1t Is also claimed that the district is
not compact and the territory not con-
tiguous, as provided for in the law.
The boundaries of the district are
not proper, it is charged, the claim

SCHWAB OFFERS
u PIT O.DATE I'M
PROVEMENTS
TO HIS HOME TOWN
If the Borough Will Take
Care of Them.

Loretto, Pa, July 25.-This little
town is just now up against the most
momentous problem in it's history.
Through his father, John A. Schwab,
who resides here, Charlie Schwab, the
steel magnate, has made the following
propositions to the borough council,
that he will grade and pave with
brick the main street of the town
from end to end, If the citizens or
the borough will lay sidewalks of brick
upon the same grade.
THAT he will, before doing this,
erect complete water plant, and
keep 1t in operation, rent free, if the
borough will pay the cost of laying
the mains along the one street.
THAT he will erect an electric light
plant and wire the town, furnishing
all the light desired for all purposes
by the residents, II the borough will
pay the cost Of operating the plant"
The borough council will meet to-
morrow night to consider these gen.
erous propositions, and the "city
fathers" have not had SO much nor
such important business before them
for a long time. Whether they will
accept the propositions cannot yet be
told. Loretto is not a very progress
sive municipality, and while it would
doubtless enjoy having all these bene-
fits, there are some of the citizens
who do not think the little borough
can afford them, even on the generous
terms upon which they are offered by
Mr.. Schwab.
On the summit of the knoll at the
head of the one long street which
forms Loretto stands 'Immergrun"

upon which he has spent at least

street is the church which ne and his
