He had the typical parts or speech Oh
the before-the-war southerner; he was
somewhat ceremonious in manner, STU
diously polite, precise of speech, hold
ing somewhat aloof from those not his
intimates and impressing casual ac-
quaintances with sensation of chilli

Delightful study As an Orator.
As an orator Senator Vest afforded
delightful study. He was the product
of time and section rich in oratory.
Born in Frankfort, Ky. in 1880 edu'
Gated at Center college, he read law I'M
der Judge James Harlan, attorney-gen-
eral of Kentucky and father Of Justice
Harlan of the United States supreme
court, ard graduating from the Tran
sylvania law school of Lexington, his
whole training was acquired amid the
surroundings rich in the traditions Of
Clay. Marshall, Breckenridge and
score of other almost equally gifted.
And these early advantages had nat
ural gift of language as a foundation,
so that as a very young man, having
hardly more than attained his major-
ty, he sprang into prominence
His settlement in Missouri.
Coming to Missouri a stranger, set
Ting al Georgetown, a young man of
%. under the adverse circumstances of
having to brave public opinion at the
very outset of his career, he attracted
attention. at once, and his party soon
began to shower honors upon him.
In 1856 he moved to Boonville,
where his talents and oratorical gifts
gained him speedily Lame, and in
1860 he was elected a democratic cleo
tor to cast Missouri's presidential vote,
and was also elected the same year
member of the state general assembly.
When the civil war began and the Mis-
souri, legislature in 1861 convened at
Neosho and passed the resolution of Sc
cession, Vest was elected a member OF
the provisional congress OF the con-
federacy, and later he was appointed
by Gov. Reynolds confederate states
senator
To his great gift of oratory he added
legal attainments of higher order,
and while serving under Gen. Price he
was made Judge advocate general of a
general cOurtmartial convened at Lex
ingtOn just after its capture. His tai
ents mad assured him brilliant career.
After the war hOnOrS Wera continually
showered upon him. He was appoint
ed judge of the United States district
court for the western district of Mis-
souri,, and in 1878 was elected United
States senator He was in the senate
continuously for four terms. having
been reelected without opposition in
1884, 1890 and 1896
There Is no doubht that Senator Vest
could have gone back to the senate for
another term if he had desired to do
so. No member of the senate was SO
generally loved by his colleagues or SO
generally respected by his foes. With
one voice they expressed regret at the
retirement of one whose very life was
an honor TO that august body.
After lis retirment he lived at his
Washington home for a few months
Then he removed to ST. Louis and
lived for time with his daughter,
Mrs. Jackson Later he went to his
home at Sweet Springs

Fresh in the House.

Although the French people love the
open air and spend much time out of
doors, yet they seem to think that air is
bad thing to let into the house. and
the majority sleep with doors and win
dows shut tight. 1t will be remembered
that the death of Zola. who loved out
door life. was caused by following this
unhygienic custom of letting no fresh
air into the sleeping room.-N. Y Trib-

Ice Boating ON Lake KoshkOnong.

The first of the ice boat races of the
season on Lake Koshkonong took place
Tuesday, starting from the Lake House.
The surface was covered with soft snow
and ice, making the course slow for the
heavy boats. Eight boats carrying but
one man each competed for the Carcajou
Club cup. The race was over an eight
mile triangle course and in the first heat
@. 81. Bliven's boat made the best time
in 19:47, but the judges awarded the
heat to Tone Brown, as the Bliven boat
failed to round the stake according to
rules. In this heat the boat came in the
following order: G. III. Bliven, Tone
Brown, Roy Saunders, George Mickey,
George Sherman, P. Bliven, Roy Hopkins
and Goldthorpe. The second heat was
awarded to G. FL. Bliven whose boat
made the fast time of 1858. Saunders
was second, Brown third and Mickey
fourth. The third heat resulted in an
easy victory for the Bliven boat which
was the only one to finish in this heat on
account of the wind dying out.
The next contest, which will be for the
Earle cup, takes place on Tuesday next
at II o'clock, weather and ice permitting.

Thomas Henry Whittet, third son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. d. Whittet, vas born in
Sumner, Wis, Feb. 18th, 1875; removing
to this city with his parents when a
young boy nearly his entire life has been
spent in Edgerton. He graduated from
the High School and upon the death of
his father two years ago became the
junior partner in the firm of Whittet
Bros, who succeeded to the business,
where he was developing with natural
aptitude for successful business career.
A young life just budding into promise
at twenty eight, calls to mind the sad
quotation that Death loves a shining
mark, seems especially true in this case.
1t is doubtful if another young man
could have been called from our city who
would leave behind more sincere sorrow
or lasting regrets. His jovial, congenial
nature, his companionable ways, his
warm friendships, and in all acts so
purely unselfsh, a character was devel
oped that one may we'll covet. AS
member of the Edgerton band, the Vol
unteer Fire department and Knights of
Pythias, he was friend of every one and
alike loved and respected by all. 1t is
consolation to the widowed mother and
family that their son and brother was so
highly esteemed and whose grief min
giles with those to whom he was dear.
Funeral services were held from the
Congregational church Monday after
noon and as mark of respect nearly
business place was closed during the
hours of the services The band, fire
department and Knights of Pythias act
ed as escort and attended the services in
respective bodies. The church was far
too small to accommodate all who desir-
ed to pay their respects to the dead. A
lavish display of flowers banked the
casker at the church, tender tributes
from the societies to which the deceased
belonged. In brief sermon Rev. L. A.
Parr spoke words of comfort and conso-
lation to the friends, the occasion
throughout being one of genuine sorrow.

struments and also do solo work on
these instruments. Alonzo Moore trav-
eled several years as assistant to the Gel
ebrated Marc and performs a number of
his most difficult feats. Seats at the
usual prices, 35 and so cents. Reserved
seats at Ash's March 10.
Those colored folks in the Midtown
Minstrels were not the "Original Georg-
ians," but they gave better show than
many travelling troup chat advertises
themselves as the originals. 1t was an
Edgerton show that pleased an Edger-
ton audience and the stage talent dis
played was surprise to nearly all who
attended. The olio abounded with
catchy local jokes from the burnt cork
artists and the hearty encores from the
audience gave evidence of appreciation.
The music and specialties were first
class, while the costumes and stage set
tings were worthy of professionals. In
short, it was good entertainment and
the members of the Cornet band earned
for themselves reputation in the show
line that will warrant good patronage
in the future. The proceeds were about
$3.50 and the members of the company
appreciate this liberality from the pub
lie. The Edgerton Cornet baud is an
organization worthy of assistance in it's
support, end by lending aid in this d.
rection the community is benefited in
more ways than one.

About Our Sullivan.

The Sunday Tribune mad the following
regarding our William Sullivan who at
times has been named "the greatest
catcher in the United States which
means of course sin the work.
beginning with the catchers, Billy
Sullivan will be the teams mainstay,
and is one of the best in the country.
He has divided the winter between Chi
cago and California, where his mother
now lives, and says he is in better condi-
ton than last year, when he spent the
winter playing with the All American
team on the coast. Besides, he has no
appendix to throw him out of the game
again early in the season, as happened
last year"

A LIFE CUT SHORT In IT'S PRIME
Death Ends q Bright Career for Thoma
Ft Whittet


Whittet
After an illness OF less than week
Thomas Whittet breathed his last short
~ after noon on Friday, March 4th. His
death came as shock and surprise to
nearly every one except the family, and
was due to pneumonia that developed on
the Saturday night previous, caused
doubtless by severe cold contracted at
the the fire at DIR. McManus' barn Mon
day evening. From the first the disease
took strong hold upon constitution
not naturally strong, failing to respond
to the usual treatment, and though
everything that medical aid could do was
provided, all was powerless in saving his
life.
