the firm and established a meat
market and grocery store of his own,
later taking in his sons Harry and
Jay when they were old enough
to enter the business. They built
/ up a splendid business, which has
been maintained of late by the sons.
Joseph Nathan is survived by
a widow and, family of seven
children, three daughters and
four sons, as follows: Frank Of

present at the funeral.
There were three sisters and one
brother; Sophie, Mrs. John

stenholme, Amelia, Mrs. John
Oswald) all of this city. and
Adolph of Chicago.
Mr.. Nathan's illness extended
over period of nearly two years,
during which time he was great
sufferer, but endured without
complaint the affection. During
his life he was always a man of
action, and overwork may be
attributed as the cause for the
breakdown of an otherwise power
full constitution.
In both business and social way
Mr.. Nathan was one OF the best
and broadcast of men. He was
ever awake to the best interests
Of the city. He would never &C
cept public office or honorary
positions of any kind, preferring
to contribute his influence and
advice in a quiet and unostenta-
tious manner. Yet he was always
fully alive to all matters Of
public concern, and ever ex-
hibited a thoroughly progressive
and broad-gauge policy.
His wise counsel anu fatherly
advice have helped many neigh
Dor and friend through rough and
difficult places. He was of most
companionable and genial nature,
and sunshine, good cheer and
healthy influences ever radiated
from his personality. A good
musician, during the early days his
services were much sought and
freely given. Once in passing
down the river on a steamboat he
had pleasure of meeting Patti and
Ole Bull on a tour. He played for
Patti to sing, and danced with her
to the music of Ole Bulls violin.
He was member Of the Lancas-
ter lodge of Odd Fellows and Of
the knights of Pythias.
1t was the home life Of Mr..
Nathan which proved his grandest
qualities of head and heart. Upon
this enduring altar the love-light
was ever kindled, shining with
steady radiance through all the
changing years. At that sacred
shrine gathered the children as
often as the duties of daily life would
permit, there to find sympathy
and consolation and strengthening
words of comfort and cheer; there
to live over again in music and
mirth the happy, care-free days of
childhood; there to feel the strong
chords of affectionate love peren-
nially enveloping and sustaining
each and all. This deep seated
and constant affection was re-

County Has Passed Away.

END CANE SUDDENLY Y.
Prominent Figure in Early History.
Widely Known and Respected.
News of Minor Nature.

Hon. James w. Seaton, one of the
best known older men Of Grant coun-
ty, died suddenly at his home in this
village Thursday night. He had been
about during the day, as we'll as usual
In the night about IL o'clock he arose
from bed and went out on the back
walk. His daughter, becoming alarmed
/ at the length of his stay, went out and
found him lying by the walk dead.
Help was summoned, but the spark Of
life had fed.
James w. Seaton was born May "a,
1924, at New Hartford, N. Y. He stud
led law at Rome, n Y, and came to
Wisconsin aud Potosi in 1847, when
this village was thriving and, promis-
ing town. Here he read law with Bid
dIeton q Cole and became regular
lawyer. In 1913 he married Miss
Amanda Bushby, who died June 6,
1900, of apoplexy. There are three
children: Edgar and Miss Gertrude
Of Potosi, and Oscar of Chicago.
Mr. Seaton had fine literary tastes
and was a ready and scholarly writer.
He published the Potosi Republican
in 1852, and was ever contributing
gems from his gifted mind to the press
of the county Had he chosen liter
airy career, there can be no doubt that
he would have won fame and fortune.
But he cared naught for these things.
He loved the hills and wales of his

him than riches. And so he remained
happy and contented with his store
and his law, and his literature, and
Nature, in the pleasant little village,
while men of much less talent pressed
forward, and from worldly stand
point were successful.
In the early days when Potosi was
promising and lively town Mr.. Seaton
took an active part in the affairs of
the county and state and was one Of
the states prominent men. He was
member of the assembly two terms,
1880, and was elected to the senate
in 1853. During these three terms in
the legislature he took an actiye' part
in the framing of state laws.
For long time Mr.. Seaton was ex-
tensively engaged in the mercantile
business.
Thus hath passed another of the
sturdy stock of pioneers of the
county. In his day he was foremost
among men. May he rest in peace.
The funeral will be held Sunday.

Mr.. JOSEPHUS DANIELS
is HELD FOR CONTEMPT OF

Rule Issued Yesterday by judge

Raleigh Post.

The feature of the day in the dis
trict Federal court yesterday was

editor of the News and Observer, to
show cause why he should not be
attached for contempt of court.
Judge Purnell's statement from

such rule was the most sensa tional
incident witnessed in court here in
recent years, and has been the gem
eral topic for discussion among the
citizens and visitors since it became
known. And the news spread rap-
idly. It was telegraphed over the
State and people arriving on the af~
ternoon trains asked eagerly of by
ISLANDERS about the depot what the
latest developments were. 1t was
like an electric shock. Everybody
knew about it and talked about it.
The rule was first made returnable
at o'clock yesterday afternoon, but
Judge Purnell later changed the or
der and made it returnable at 10
O'Clock this morning, as yesterday
was national holiday and he de7
sired to adjourn court at O'Clock
for the day.
The matter out of which these
contempt proceedings started was
contained in certain editorial refefs
ence to Judge PurnelI in Sunday's
News and Observer regarding the
appointment of a new receiver for
the Atlantic and North Carolins.

Dear Sir: Two years ago the estate

That's how the tale reads. We in
fer what really happened.
The buyer, as usual, went by the
cost Of paint; got bids. Lead-and-
oil bid low and guessed the quantity
low; the saving was only IL per
cent.
Nobody seems to have thought Of
this: the painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint. How
much did we save OH the painting?
Don't know.
The tale ends with this. We often
refer inquiries to those houses, for
wear of Devoe.
That's good-enough story; but
nobody knows what it is. Our only
difficulty is want of paint-intelli-
gence.
Yours truly,

To Liberate the CaptiyeS Held

London, May ga dispatch to
the Times from Tangier says there is
great confidence that the efforts of
Sir Arthur Nicholson, the British
minister to Morocco, to secure the re-
lease of Ion Perdicaris and Cromwell
Varley, Will prove successful. It is
universally hoped that the United
States will not treat the outrage on
it's citizens. with the same apathy that
European powers have treated SIM
liar happenings to their subjects.
The non-arrivaI of American war
ships, expected before now, increases
the feeling of insecurity.
Several people have received
warnings of future cutrages. No
policies of any kind exist and until
protective measures are taken Eu-

the mercy of the tribesmen. Every
body knows the temperament of the
natives and agrees that the situation
requires more than mere protests.
