Are Any Localities EXEMPT.

Grand Rapids has rested for many
years with a feeling of security that
its location has made it exempt from
tornadoes and cyclones; but men of
science are beginning TO shake their
heads and wonder if any locality is
exempt from these Obstructive vista
tions. Another point in connection
with these VIOLENT storms which has
been upset by the recent ST. Paul
Minneapolis disaster is, that they are
not supposed to come SO late in the
season. It has Eeen the fixed theory
of the signal service bureau at
Washington, that the cyclone season
ended with the June roses and that
st. Paul, because of its topography,
was one of the exempt cities of the
United States. Doubtless the signal
service bureau will revise it's theory
Grand Rapids is no more out of
the cyclone belt than New Richmond,
st. Paul or ST. Louis, the only diff
ference there is we are not as wicked
as they are.

E. A. UPHAM WILL NOT
BE A CANDIDATE

The many friends of E. A. Upham
regret that he has decided not too
become a candidate for the office
which he has filled so acceptably for
the past four'years. The following is
from the Marshfield News:
Register of Deeds E. A. Upham
came up from the county seat Tues
day and as there has been considerable
talk concerning his candidacy in the
coming election for the Office he now
holds, he was asked to make a state
ment for publication. "You can say
to your readers" said Mr.. Upham,
that | am not candidate. The
voters of this county have done we'll
by me in giving me their hearty sup
port in two elections for which I am
proud and thankful. In Justice to nv
party and to any who may have
aspirations in that direction l will. say
again that / am not candidate
This frank statement from Mr.. Upham
is gentlemanly. AS trusted and
capable officer none better ever pre-
sided oyer the destinies of the
registers office. He is accurate.
affable and zealously attentive to his
office duties and when he steps down
and cut next January it will be with
regret from the business public. His
plans for the future have not yet been
made but his many Marshfield friends
hope to see him again resident of
this city.

DEATH OF MRS. ABE
LAIDE NASON=BODMER

From the La Grande (Oregonl
Observer We CLEAN the following
obituary of Miss Adelaide Mason, who
taught one year in our public schools
in this city. She will be kindly
remembered by many of our citizens:
Died-At the Good Samaritan Hos
pital, Portland, Oregon, August Is,
1904, Adelaide, beloved wife Of Hugo
0. BOdmer.
Mrs. Bodmer's maiden name was
Adelaide Elizabeth Mason. She was
born January 8, 1870, at Nasonville,
Wood county, Wisconsin and was the
daughter of the late Soloman L. and
MelliSa r. Mason. In 1888 she grad
uated from the River Falls Normal
school and for six years was one of
the foremost teachers in Wood county.
In the spring of 1894 she came to
Oregon and made her home at New
berg where she taught until 1897.
September 16, 1897, she was united in
marriage with Hugo A. Bodmer, a
former resident of Wisconsin and
came to La Grande, Oregon, to make
her home.
Her illness was six weeks dura-
tion during which time she was a
patient sufferer. The last two weeks
of her life was spent at the Good Sam
aritan Hospital in Portland, Oregon,
to which place she was removed in
hopes that change might be beneficial.
All that is known to human skill was
done for her. Loving hands cared
tenderly for her till the Master set
his seal upon her brow. The funeral
was held from her home in La Grande,
August Is, 1904, under the direction
Of Rev. w. L. Van Mugs, former
pastor of the Presbyterian church OF
this city.
She leaves devoted husband, and
six year old daughter of La Grande
to mourn her loss; two sisters, Mrs.
Stella j. Ingle, of La Grande, and
hl .. vi dCC II. -DdlIlC, vi L vi U1dIlu,
Oregon, also two brothers., Vernon
N. Mason, of Park Falls, Montana,
and Vinton G., Mason at the old home
in Nashville, Wisconsin.
During Mrs. Bodmer's residence in
La Grande she was an active member
of the Ladies' Neighborhood Club
where her influence was always for
the good, the pure and the beautiful.
Her talks on home life, child study
and The duties of motherhood will
long be remembered by those who
heard them.
While interested in social duties
her chief pleasure was found in her
home where she was a never failing
counselor companion and friend, and
where the sweet influence of her
presence will long continue to dwell.
Her many friends deeply sympathize
with the SOrrowing ones i'm their be-
reavement A kind and loving
mother, a devoted wife and a faithful
friend, her early deceaSe has cast a
tCfouu Ut SufrUW- -Uycr d Hdppy nome
and has taken from our midst a true
worthy woman.
"a perfect woman nobly planned;

THIS MORNINGS FIRE

There is always something to be
thankful for and almost always some
one to be thankful. A. NJ. Muir is
truly thankful today that he dis
covered the fire last night as soon as
he did. 1t was about 1890 when he
was awakened by the smell of smoke.
Mr.. Muir Immediately called his
family and told them the building
was on fire. He then proceeded to
investigate and by kicking a panel
out of the door leading from the hall
TO G.. w. Purnell's tin shop up stairs
he was not long in locating the fire,
and turning in an alarm. Mr.. Pur-
nell was Immediately sent for and the
east side fire company responded
promptly. The fire company begun
their work by throwing water through
the broken panel of the door, but
were not long in breaking open the
door and entering the room, where
they found more smoke and fire. In
short they were soon overcome
by the dense smoke and compelled to
drop the hose in order to get out.
With the heavy pressure the hose
became unmanageable and was soon
throwing water in the opposite
direction of the fire drencing the
rooms over N. Reilands meat market
and also doing considerable damage
to A, M. Muir. The fire was fnally
located and soon extinguished. The
damage came almost entirely from
water. Mr.. Purnell's hardware store
was completely flowed causing a loss
on his stock of about $500, which was
covered by insurance. Mr.. PurneH
came here on March L, and as he is
just getting started it was a severe
blow to him.
Mr.. Reiland places his loss of 5000
on stock and fixtures and $1,000 on the
building which was covered by in
Surance. Mr.. Muir'S loss however was
not SO heavy, being only $50 or $40 on
his furniture and his living rooms and
800 damage to his stock on display
in the front windows The building
occupied by Mr.. Purnell is owned by
n. Weiland. The entire loss is
estimated at 5000. DR.. Crawford's
rooms were badly smoked but other
wise not seriously injured.
Mr.. Purnell ia making an effort to
open the back windows upstairs
sustained quite severe accident by
pump falling and stricking him on
the head, which caused a severe
scalp wound. Taking it all around
it was an unfortunate fortunate fire

Geo. N. Wood has returned from ten

where he has been attending the

AWKARDNESS

There is time in every mans
life when his friends think and some
tell him that he is about the awkardest
specimen of mankind ever inflicted
on the long suffering public. The
average Wood County boy enters this
period at about the age of fourteen
and is candidate for the title until
the hair on his upper lips stiffens up
to something more than mere down.
1t is during this age that his feet
don't track and he doesn't know what
to do with. his hands. They look to
large for the rest of his body. He
rather reSentS it if anyone tries to
tell him of his awkwardneSS and in
deed it is better not to worry about
him because he can't help it and if
s,:--~-- -:--,e -,ill nnt4ynnm ranot. of his
faults. II he happens to be the
product OF the farm it is about this
time that horse and buggy will be
thought necessary and for two or three
years he will SOW his wild oats in the
neighborlng towns. Ii he lives in
town he will doubtless be taken
charge of by some girl several years
his senior and will walk on her toes
and dance on her skirts until some
fellow comes along and rescueS her.
II boy during this period could only
go somewhere and hole up, what a
blessing it would be to the world at
large but he can't, so the only thing
to do is to remember that We have all
been there and simply bear with him
for few years and he will come out
all right.
