c. NORTON DECEASED.

In the death of Charles Norton
Barton county loses one of her earlier
citizens, and one who will be greatly
missed by those who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance-and their names
are legion.
Deceased was born at Litchfeld,
Connecticut, August 3, 1926, and
died at the home of his daughter,
Mrs: Efie Chapel, in Pueblo, Colo,
on January p, 1904, at the age of
II years, months and "a days.
He was married on Sept. 2, 1849, in
New York, to Miss Della L. Van
Dorm. To them were born ten chill
dren, four of whom, Frank and Nor
rell Norton of the north part of this
county, Mrs. Ida Marx of Great
Bend, and Mrs. Efie Chapel of
Pueblo, Col, still survive him. His
wife died and was buried in the
Great Bend cemetery about Is years
ago, and the remains of the faithful
husband now rest by her side.
The first % years of Mr.. Norton's
busy life were spent in New York; he
then came west to Ohio, and resided
in that state for 25 years. In 1879
he came with his family to Kansas
and has made his home in Great
Bend, conducting hotel business on
south Main street for number of
years. His life was always busy one;
his friendship strong; his heart warm
towards his fellow men, and although

The Saddest Good. .Byes.

To say goodbye" to a cherished
friend or loved one always costs a
quiver of lip and a hutter of heaIt
rhel solemn, pathetic words seem to
shrink from utteTance, and the hps
are reluctant to let them go. When
the words have been spoken, the
hand grasped released, and your
moistened eyes follow the disappear
ing form into the dim distance. an
indescrible feeling of loneliness
creeps into the heart and bToods
over your spirit. But are there not
unuttered good-byes of the soul
sadder, far, than any of these oral
expressions of parting? Does not
the soul sometimes feel that dear
one is slipping away and disappear
ing in the gloom of indifference.
You notice the changed manner, the
coldness, the Sights, the preference
for others-perhaps you magnify
these evidences that you and your
friend are drifting apart, but they
are all too real, anyhow-and from
the depths of your soul there wells
up an involuntary. unuttered good
bye which nearly breaks your heart.
The vase has been broken, the
flowers are withered, and the per
fume is gone. Yes, the saddeSt
good-byes are those which are never
uttered, but are only whispered to
ones self in the sacred chambers of
the soul.-Marion Record.

Municipal Ownership.

W. J. Bryan did not spend all his
time wining and dining, while in
Europe. He came home enthusias-
tic for municipal ownership of public
utilities.
In Glasgow Mr.. Bryan found the
municipal gas cheap and good. AT
certain hours of the day laboring
men ride from one end of the city to
the other in special cars for 1 cent.
There are model tenements where
the rent of s36 year includes taxes
and water.
London is awakening on the lines
of Glasgow.
Nottingham sells gas for soc per
LOCO feet, and the net profits of the
works last year was S12O, 500. The
city took possession of the tramways,
raised wages, shortened hours, and
derives nearly 100000 year profit
from the lines.
Birmingham furnishes water and
light to the people and will take
charge of the street railroads. So it
is with Belfast.
Americans can sneer all they please
at these European inovations. They
can quote the fact that labor gets
more in America than in any other
land on the globe. That does not
alter the fact that citizens are entitled
to still more
The people of Europe who are be
hind these municipal enterprises are
hard headed business men in most
instances. They are as keen for pro-
fit as a Yankee can be. They have
discovered that the things that are
closely associated with the general
public can best be operated by and
for the public; that when private gain
is eliminated the effect is at once ben
efcial. Municipal ownership works
no general hardships on the rich, and
results in justice to the poor. 1t is a
success in Europe. Mr.. Bryan sees
it. A thousand others have given
the same testimony. The best evi-
dence of its success is its legitimate
and logical success. 1t is spreading
from St. Petersburg to crowded Lon
don.
Some day it will come to America
to stay, and the people will wonder
why they tolerated a condition that
made of a few men millionaiaes, gave
to the public so little and charged
them so much for it.

Gas or Oil, or Both.

The committee appointed by the
Commercial Club last summer to in
vestigate the gas and oil proposition,
have been quietly investigating the
question, assisted by few others
who have been very much interested
in pushing the matter. The commit
tee reported to a special meeting of
the Commercial Club Wednesday
which was we'll attended, and which
was very enthusiastically in favor of
starting down to see what there is
underneath. Prof. Young and others
who have lately been in the eastern
part of the state, say that while we
will have to go down much farther
here than in the east, our chances to
make strike are good. Wherever
the experts said nothing would be
found, have been found the best pro-
ducing wells. A number of farmers
are very anxious to help in starting
the proposition. If we found either
gas or oil, it would revolutionize the
fuel and light question, and be the
making of the town. Some people
think it useless waste of time and
money to prospect. Were every un-
tried project proposed. in the past
which has met with similar opposition,
abandoned on account of it,
we would be in an elegant fix now,
wouldn't we?
Those who do not care to put any
money into the venture, will confer a
favor on themselves and others, per-
mitting others to do so. Don't stop
the wheels of progress.
The Commercial Club has SUBJ
scribed for $3.50 worth of stock, and
authorized the committee to proceed
to organize a corporation to do busi-
ness. Another meeting will be held
soon.

suffering great deal with disease for
the last few years, he was uncomplain-
ing and cheerful. Of late years he
has made his home most of the time
with his daughter, Mrs. Ed. S. Marx,
and the writer being near neighbor
has had the pleasure of close aquain-
tapce with him. The world is better
that he was spared to his friends until
ripe age.
The floral tributes to his memory
were beautiful and profuse, but better
and more lasting are the memories
of his kind words, cordial smiles and
warm hand clasp.
The bereaved sons and daughters
have the deep sympathy of large
circle of friends.

Back in Business.

1t is now Sans & Brooker proprie-
tors of the Great Bend Marble Yards,
Mr.. c. r. Brooker having this week
purchased a half interest with Mr..
w. J. Sans. For many years Mr..
Brooker conducted marbel yard in
this city, and has a large acquaintance
among our people who will be glad
to see him in the business again.
Mr.. Sans has enjoyed a splendid
business during the years that he has
been here, and the joining of these
two well known gentlemen ought to
make a most successful firm. The
DEMOCRAT wishes them long life and
prosperity. They have also purchas-
ed the marble business from A. c.
Baxter and consolidated it with the
Sans yards.

Joseph Kackley Deceased.

Joseph KaCkley, father of Homer
V. Kackley of Heller, died last week
at his old home, near Capon
Bridge, W. Va, and at his request
was buried there beside the remains
of his parents. The funeral cere-
monies were very impressive. On
Saturday, Jan. 23d at the home of the
Calverts, songs and prayer were de-
ivered. The pall-bearers were select
ed from members of Co. F. of the old
regiment of deceased, under COM
mand of Asby's Black Horse Cavalry
of Virginia, No. Z. Each of the pail
bearers rode horse of jet black, and
each man was over six feet tall, and
the funeral procession was one of
uniqueness, simplicity and pomp.
Deceased was aged 63 years, 5
months and 19 days. He went into
the Black Horse Cavalry in 1861,
and was released in 1865. He was
a prisoner at Elmira, N. Y, for 1S
months. After the close of the Re-
bellion he lived in Virginia for year
or more, then removed to Kentucky.
Later ne went 10 Iowa WneIe ne mar
ried his first wife, the mother of
Claude, Orville and Homer (the three
sons well known here) In 1877 he
came to Kansas, locating in Republic
county. The town of Kackley, that
county, was named for him; and on
the day of his funeral the entire town
of Kackley suspended business dur
ing the funeral hours.
Mr.. Kackley was thorough gentle
man, courteous and open hearted.
Mr.. F. NJ. Russell, and number of
old Tnion soldiers who were up
against the famous Black Horse Cav
airy of Va, remember him well.
Slowly yet surely the mould of the
grave covers the last of the Blue aRd
the Grey and evens up the hopes and
ambitions of the brave men on both
sides of that terrible struggle In the
early COS. Peace to the ashes of al,
and peace to the sons and daughters
in whose memories the good deeds of
the departed will ever remain.

La Crosse Marshal Killed.

On Monday night, the 1st. A. J.
Talbot, city marshal of La Crosse,
was killed by F. T. Applington, a
merchant. Applington had been
drinking and Talbot put him under
arrest in the doorway of his store.
Applington shot Talbot twice, one
bullet going through the heart.
Applington then shut himself in his
store, but on the arrival of the sheriff
surrendered himself. There was a
great deal of excitement, but any talk
of mob violence was soon quieted.
