Cows Al, Their Clothing.

For the purpose Of agreeably filling in
a recent hot afternoon four Ottervein,
Ind, girls took their two out-of-town
guests to seclud,1 spot on the Wabash
for swim. On arriving at the chosen
place they constructed au inclfs with
sheets which they had brought along and
proceeded 10 divest themselves OF their
clothing and don bathing suits. Soon
the six girls were disporting in the cool
waters of the Wabash.
While this was going on a herd OF
COWS wandered lazily up to the impro-
vised bathing house, stuck their noses IN
and found various articles of feminine
wearing apparel hanging upon barbed-
wire fence. Possessed of ravenous ap-
petite. the animals innocently began to
devour garment after garment, and whei
the feast was finally concluded there
were not enough articles left to properly
dress French dancing girl.
The young women returned to the
scene, saw the dreadful catastrophe that
had beiallen them, and proceeded to
weep. Their cries attracted the atten-
ton of farmer on a road not far away,
and he approached the shawl tent. The
occupants called to bim to keep hun
dr.; yards away, and he did so.
Then they told him what had happen
ed. and he made a two-mile trip to his
home. obtained some OF his daughters
clothing and had the girls take the gai-
ments 10 the marooned bathers on the
river. BY the time the unfortunate and
mosouito-bitten young women returned
to their homes it was very dark, and

Death of Joseph Irons.

The following notice of the death
of Joseph Irons has been contributed
to this paper by one of the acquain-
tances of the deceased:
Joseph Irons, a native of Garrett
county, Maryland, died January 10Th,
1905, in his seth year, at the home Of
his son John near Wasuneo, Indi-
an Territory. Interment was made
in the Silyerdale cemetery, Kansas,
near the former home of his son, fiji
teen miles from the place of his death
His daughter, Mrs. wager lives in
Oklahoma.
Deceased is the last survivor of a
large interesting family reared on the
farm now owned by George Steyer,
at Stever station on the w. Va. G.
railroad.
In early life he married daughter
of the late Judge William Harvey, of
Deer Park. After marriage he located
on u farm now owned by William
Riley.
After several years residence here,
his wife died when the two children
were quite young. In after years he
bought farm in Ryan's Glade, and
resided there until 1889, when he sold
his farm to Abraham King. Shortly
after he went west and lived with his
son until death. "Uncle Joe", as he
was generally called, had characteris
tics worthy of emulation. He believ-
ed what was worth doing was worth
doing well. He was noted for his
good judgment in constructing public
roads. He superintendent the build
ing of the road from Mt. Lake Park to
the top of Backbone mountain. He
also was supervisor for all the roads
in Dist. No. s for number of years.
During his long life he maintained his
integrity, and built himself charac
ter for truth and justice. Always of
a genial disposition and loved for his
manv sterling qualities of heart and
hand, and when he approach ed the
evening of his existence he could say
he trusted in God, and preserved his
faith in Him to be his staff in the final
journey. X.

TO RAISE THE BATTLESHIP MAINE
Preliminary Work With This in View

Preliminary Work With This in View
Has Been Commenced.
Active preparations are about to be
commenced in the construction OF the
big circular cofferdam which is to be
sunk around the wreck of the battle
ship Maine as she reposes in the har-
Dor of Havana By recent action
of the Cuban Government the time
for beginning the work has been ex-
tended to April 10, 1905, and that for
the completion of the work to April
10, 1906. The contractor who will I'M
dertake the work is Joseph De Wy
ckoff, the managing director of the
company, which was organized for
the purpose. According to the En-
gineering News of recent issue, as
nearly as can be learned from careful
examinations of the wreck made with
the aid of competent divers, about
one-third of the battleship at the bow
has been seriously injured, the other
two-thirds remaining comparatively
uninjured. 1t is the purpose of the
company, first to remove the bodies
of the sailors and their personal effects
and then to make the undertaking a
financial success by the recovery of
all valuable articles, such as arm, can
non, coal, machinery, ETC., and the
uninjured part of the battleship itself.
1t is also proposed to admit visitors
to the wreck after the cofferdam is
pumped out, charging an admission
fee; and after the ship is tioated to
exhibit it at the principal ports of the
United States. 1t is also proposed to
manufacture articles of brass, bronze
andcopper found upon the wreck into
mementoes to be sold with certifica-
ties of American and Cuban officials
as their genuineness. Sufficient ma
terial of all kinds will previously, how
ever be set aside for the erection of
the contemplated memorial Com
mittee. Photographers offer large
sums of the wreck from time to time
as the water is being pumped out.
The revenue which will be derived
from these sources will be much more
than sufficient to pay for the cost Of
building the necessary cofferdam and
removing the wreck.
Should it be found possible to re-
pair the damaged part of the vessel it
will be placed on the floating dock at
Havana and the battleship be com
pletely repaired, when there will be
for sale to some Government com
plete battleship which originally cost
the United States Government So, 000,-
900 to bnjld and equip. The Golfer
dam will be truly circular in shape,
with an inside diameter of 354 feet,
thus providing a clearance of 10 feet
at each end of the battleship.

share thereof if wanted. The man
ner of proceeding to get a portion of
this fund is in two ways; The County
Commissioners, or any number of real
estate owners owning real estate Dor
dering on not less than mile of pub
lie road way and who are willing to
bear ten per cent of the cost of the
improvements can institute proceed
ings to secure a portion of the fund
for the aforesaid purpose and under
the law steps must be taken in. that
direction before the first day ofMarch,
next. Now while we have good roads,
and while the wealth of the county is
considerable there is no denying the
fact that the public highways can be
made better and while we are not
rich, we should not be too proud to
accept any good thing that may come
along. We suggest therefore that
the public authorities look further in
to the matter and whatever good is
to come from the law let us have our
share. When the law was first pass
ed it was thought to be unconstitu-
tional but that question is no longer
a matter of doubt 1t has been de-
cided that the State owns the public
highways. and can repair its own
property.

Father and Son Are Both Promoted.

Promotion of an unusually high de-
gree does not come co two in the same
family at the same time, yet this is
what happened in the Fitzgerald fam
ily last week. Thomas Fitzgerald,
promoted from general superinten-
dent to general manager of the Balti-
more and Ohio, had hardly been no
titled of his new position, when his
son, Thomas Fitzgerald, Jr., who is
quite an electrical expert, was promo
ted to high position with the NJ
cinnati Traction company. ThoAas
Fitzgerald, Jr., is perhaps the Young
est man in such an advanced position,
in railway circles. He is only &c, yet
he has mastered many things in con-
nection with street railways which OIL
der heads have striven for years to
attain. In going to Cincinnati young
Mr.. Fitzgerald has given up his posi-
ton as general manager of the Lex
ington (Ky) Street Railway and E'ec-
tric Light company, which position
he has filled since April, 1908. He has
made the change in order to go into
a field where there are wider posi-
bilities in railway management.
