When we come to deal with great cor

act directly Is far greater than in the
case OF labor, because great corporations
can become such only by engaging in in

pect to eliminate the abuses In great cor

DEATH OF N. CLARITY
Michael Clarity Dies at the
Home of his Daughter at
Sioux City, Iowa, on
Thursday.

News was received in this city on
Friday of last week that Mr.. Michael
CLARITY of Souix City, Iowa, was dead.
This removes another of those who
have been identified with the early
history of our town.
Mr.. Clarity was born in Ireland and
came to America in his early man
hood. He was married to Miss
Honora Connolly in Portland, Maine,
and went back to the Homeland for
few years, but returned to make
America his home. He brought his
family to Sank Centre about 1880.
Some of his children were born here.
For a number of years he was a
faithful and trusted employee of the
Great Northern Railroad Co. He gave
up this work about twelve years ago
because of poor health and after the
death of his wife, made his home with
his daughter, Mrs. T. ]. Murphy, who
has recently removed to Sioux City,
Iowa. 1t was at her home that he
died.
He recently made visit here and
to relatives in St. Paul, expressing
the belief that he should never see his
friends again.
His old stomach trouble, coupled
with kidney trouble, caused his death,
he was in bed three weeks. He died
on Thursday morning of last week at
the age of seventy-seven years.
Only three of quite large family
Of children are left to mourn the
going away of dear father, Mr.. Peter
Clarity of St. Paul, Mrs. Murphy of
Sioux City, Iowa, and Frank Clarity
of Superior, Wis. He has twenty
grandchildren, Mrs. Lee of Brewer
vile being one, but she was like a
daughter, having lived with him from
her birth to her marriage.
A special car brought the body and
the 'bereaved family to St. Paul. The
funeral was held from the Cathedral,
Saturday morning, High Mass being
celebrated. The singing was grand
and impressive as were all the SER
vices. A large crowd of people at
tended the funeral. Mr.. and Mrs. ].
II. Law of this city were present.
The many friends here extend their
heartfelt sympathy to the afflicted
ones.

PIONEER DIES
Mrs. M. A. Truman Dies at her
Home in this City on Satur-
day..

Mrs. M. A. Truman died at her
home Saturday afternoon at 8 O'Clock.
She has been an invalid for a number
of years and since April has been con-
fined to the house. Most of the time
she has been great sufferer but the
end came as peacefully as the going
to sleep of little child.
The funeral was held from the home
on Monday afternoon. Rev. G. w.
Lawson, pastor of the M. E. church at
st. Cloud conducted the services, and
preached very helpful and comfort
ing sermon, using for the basis of his
remarks words found in the 28th verse
OF the 18th Chapter of St. Johns
Gospel, "The Master is come and
calleth for thee"
The house was filled with sorrowing
friends, and many, not being able to
get in, remained in the yard and
Joined in the long procession that
followed the remains to Greenwood
cemetery.
Mrs. Truman was laid by the side
OF her husband and daughter, both
of whom died within one year, about
twenty years ago. One daughter,
Miss Flora Truman, is left to bear the
burden of this grief alone, but she has
host of warm, true friends, who will
give her all the love and sympathy
possible at such time.
The Truman family are among the
old settlers, having lived here for
thirty-seven years and have always
held the love and respect of every one
who knew them. Mrs. Truman lived
out the years allotted to men, dying
at the age of seventy-two.
Gone by one we are gathering
