were told that others would look
after that. Apparently the men
have done nothing and it is quite
likely that the men will do moth
ing. Must we acquisce them in
the present disgraceful condition
of the cemetery? We trust not.
Our conviction is that such a
work as this falls within woman's
sphere, and can be accomplished
most effectively only by women.
The men can and must supply
the funds and the work, but we
shall be wise if we can secure
united, intelligent interest on
the part of the women and then
leave the rest to them. We
should propose the following
tentative plan:
J.. The formation OF Memo
rial Associations" composed of
all persons who are interested il
the improvement of the cemetery
and are willing to pay a small
sum by the month or by the ysar
TO this ssociation.
2. The organization of a board
of directors of the Memorial As

number of ladies who shall be
elected at the annual meeting of
the members of the Association
and who shall be empowered to

Melvin Reid went down in the

injuries are very painful they
are not serious, and attending

Miss Agnes, has been visiting

unfortunate accident where a

The City Cemetery.

The condition of the cemetery
at Tracy City is distressing and
reflects little credit upon the
community. Many persons have
expressed regret at its neglected
and desolate appearance, and a
desire that something be done to
the fences, lay off the paths and
roads and care for the grounds.
Your progressive paper has more
than once given able expression
to this desire which is no doubt
universal here. Surely this
sacred spot is too dear to us to per-
nit further neglect. 1t is clear
however, that merely wishing for
a different state of aflirs will not
produce the desired effect. Indi-
vidual effort can accomplish lit
tie Of permanent value. What
is needed is united action, and
this can only come from efficient
organization and a general will
ingness to help on the part Of all
concerned. We believe that this
willingness will be the result of
organization. Such an organi-
cation was at one time attempted
and a real effort was made by the
ladies to the improvement Of the
cemetery, but the matter was
taken out of their hands and they

CLUE TO PLANT THEFT
Pieces ofSeveral Missing Jardiniers
are Located.

Constable Geo. Andrews of Squire
Prichetts court made an important
discovery the other day when he was
at the Kirkpatrick place in Monroe
township to arrest Will Kirkpatrick.
In looking about the premises he saw
a number of fine jardniers such as are
used for porch decoration. The con-
stable remembers that quite a number
of jardiniers had been stolen from
porches and yards in the city and
here was a clue. He made note OF
the location of the property and when
he returned to the city ne told some
of the parties who had lost plants and
Jars that he had located the property.
An information was signed by Mrs.
L. A. Rodgers and a search warrant
was promptly issued and placed in the
hands of Constable Andrews for SER
vice. He was also in possession of
the warrant authorizing search for
the Whitmore property. He went to
the place Wednesday afternoon and
made thorough overhauling. AS
Andrews enISTSu tHe uOuSS hS uOlSd
the fact that the jardiniers were miss
ing. When the boys were found the
constable asked where the big jars
were and the lads at firt pretended to
know nothing about them. After a
severe cross examination the informa.
tion was elicted that the jars had
been broken up and thrown into the
privy vault. Ray Kirkpatrick, who
is lad of about ten years of age, said
said that they had been to the city
with the mother to see the father af.
ter his arrest and instructions were
given for the breaking up of the pot.
terry and burning of the plants.
The officer and a large number of
neighboring farmers who had gather
ed about went to the closet and re-
moved the building. Then with pitch
forks and rakes they brought the
whole jars and about a dozen of the
broken pieces to the surface. The
property was brought to the city and
Mrs. Rodgers had no difficulty in pos
itively identifying some of the pieces
as belonging to her jardinier.

CAME NEAR TO DEATH
Ditch Digger Long Has Narrow Es-
cape in the New Sewer.

Al trench digger named A. Long, re-
Gently of Burlington, engaged on tne
north sewer" came near being
squeezed to death about $50 last ey-
ening. The south wall of the trench
slipped in upon the man and the
weight of the dirt upon his back was
SO great that he could not breathe.
1t was almost quitting time when
the accident occurred. The men
were cleaning up their crumbs" and
the walls of the trench just below
where the slip occurred were being
"curbed to prevent their slipping dur
ing the night Long had placed his
shovel on the bank outside and was
about to lift himself out Of the ditcn
when the great chunk of the earth
weighing hundreds of pounds, slipped
in upon him. The man called fol
help and Dick Atchison and others
sprang to his assistance. They tried
to release him by pulling him from
the packed earth but this was impos
sible and the workers had to dig him
out And all this time the man was
smothering to death. At last suffic
tent of the earth holding the man had
been removed and he was brought tc
the surface He Immediately lapset
into Inconsistencies and for a time
life was despaired Of Doctor
Swarnes was called and responded
Immediately. The man was carried
up the hill to the Lewis home and re
storatives were applied. 1t was sew
eral hours before consciousness re
turned and the sufferer was free from
danger. A cot was found and thS
man was taken to his nome. He i:
better today but is very sore. The
man had a very close call.
