Mrs. D. L. Clements of Mankato,
says the Free Press, is a cousin of
an extraordinarily aged veteran of
New York state, Hiram Cronk of
the hamlet of Dunn Brook. the last
surviving pensioner and the last
veteran of the war of 1912, whose
funeral took place short time ago
in New York city, with all the mill
tary pomp and splendor due to that
doughty soldier, who trod the earth
so long after the mortal forms of his
comrades had crumbled into dust.
Mr.. Cronk reached the remarkable
age of hundred and FIVE. 1t was
on Saturday, April 30, last, that
this wonderful man passed his hun
dred and fifth year.
Gossip, says an exchange, is
humming bird with eagle wings
and voice like a foghorn. 1t can
be heard from Dan to Bersheba and
has caused more trouble than all
the bedbugs, feas, mosquitoes, rat
tle-snakes, coyotes, grasshoppers,
chinch-bugs, sharks, sore toes,
cyclones, earthquakes, billiards.,
smallpox, yellow fever and indiges-
tion that this United States has
known or will know when the uni
verse shuts up shop and begins the
final invoice. 10 other words, it
has got war and hell backed up in
a corner yelling for water. It has
broken up homes, separated lovers,
caused murders, suicides and sub
jected innocent persons to unjust
criticism and ridicule and often
times to persecution. Don't en-
courage it. 1t is one of the greatest
vices in the world to-day.
The good people of Tracy are
glad their town is improving it's
morals even at the expense of its
population. Had this "cleaning
out taken place before the census
was taken, the per cent of increase
would probably not have been SO
great. The Republican Trumpet
says: Another vacant room or rooms
are to be found in Tracy to-day,
and several reported soiled doves
with due apology to the inoffensiye
pigeon for the comparison-ha
vamosed the coop. Policeman Dan
Campbell, with authority from the
city executive, made raid Monday
night on house on Fourth street,
and without unnecessary delay pro-
ceeded to empty the place of such
furniture and household effects as
it contained and ordered the in
mates to leave. 1t took only a few
minutes to clean out the entire out
fit. Who is back of the movement,
we do not know, but certain it is
that they have the thanks of all de-
cent people of Trecy for the sum
mary action taken. The wonder is
that such place could have exis-
ted so long in so public place. Let
US hope that strict vigilance may be
had hereafter by the guardians of
peace that no such places may again
gain a foothold in our quiet and
orderly little city.
