Star service was rendered in a most
impressive manner under the direc-
tion of Mrs. George Budd. The body
was then taken to the Congregational
church where the final services were
held. After prayer by Rev. Morgans
most impressive sermon was de-
livered by Rev. w. J. G. Ralph, pastor
of the church. A choir composed of
Misses McAuley and Stiles and
Messrs. Will Carter and Clarence
Howe sang three of the favorite hymns
of the deceased, "Lead Kindly Light"

manner. The pail bearers we're: A.

1T is said that our language is
the most intricate in the world.
You will understand how true this
is, if you read the following: IA
sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper
is that in which the sleeper sleeps.
A sleeper is that on which the
sleeper runs while the sleeper
sleeps. Therefore, while the sleep
er sleeps in the sleeper the sleeper
carries the sleeper over the sleeper,
until the sleeper which carries the
sleeper jumps the sleeper and wakes
the sleeper in the sleeper by strik-
ing the sleeper on the sleeper and
there is no longer any sleeper sleep
ing on the sleeper in the sleeper"
Alexander Walker Jr., son of
Alexander Walker ST., died at
Peoria, ILL.,, Friday last of appendi-
citis, aged 81 years. Deceased was
born in North Lancaster, where his
father now resides, in 1883, and for
some time past had been employed
as a fireman on the Rock Island
road, with a run between Peoria
and Rock Island. He took his re-
gular run to Peoria Monday, March
Is, and when they reached their
destination he was so i'll that he
had to be taken from the engine.
He was taken at once to hospital,
where upon examination it was
found that he was too weak to I'M
dergo an operation, and death re-
suited from the disease above
mentioned. Mr.. Walker was a
young man of sterling worth, and
his untimely death is deeply de-
plored by a host of friends. The
remains were brought to Lancaster
Sunday, and taken to the home of
his parents. The funeral which was
largely attended, was held from the
home yesterday afternoon at $50,
and interment took place in the
cemetery near the Dyer school
house.

GOOD MOTHER GONE.
Mrs. Martha P. Hyde Laid to Rest
Sunday by SOrrOwing Relatives
and Friends.

Mrs. Martha p, Hyde, better known
as Mrs. Harrison Hyde, was born in
Potsdam, N. Y, July 10, 1922. She was
united in marriage to Henry Harrison
Hyde Sept. 90, 1S43, at Potsdam where
she was born and grew to womanhood.
In 1866 Mr.. and Mrs. Hyde came west
and after tarrying short time in Chi
cago, then a little more than rural
town Of som pretensions. and a little
further on at Elkhorn, this state,
where Mrs. Hyde's brother was 10
Gated as practicing attorney, finally
bringing their journey to an end at
Lancaster, where they cast their lot,
becoming at once deeply interested in
everything pertaining to the moral,
spiritual and educational welfare of
! the village.
Their spiritual work was mainly con-
nected with the Congregational church
of which Mrs. Hyde was most loyal
and consistent member, taking partic-
ular interest in choir work, as contral-
to singer. Her husband was leader of
the choir for number of years while
the late Mrs. Seaton was it's organist.
A sketch of her life, as taken from
the Elderkin geEealogy (her maiden
name was Martha Pauline Elderkin)
reads as follows: "Mrs. Martha P.
Hyde, was married Sept. 20, 1913; her
life has been checked with sadness
and sunshine"
At the tender age of years her faith

guardianship so essential to youth.

visit her mother during the term. For
one so young, that period of time must
have seemed an age. Deer river, a
branch of the st. Lawrence, divided
the district, and the bridge was car

A Letter From W. ]. Weir.
ADA, INDIAN TERRITORY, March 10, '05
Mr.. JAS. MCCORMICK.

ADA, INDIAN TERRITORY, March 10, 'O5.
Mr.. JAS. MCCORMICK.
DEAR SIR:-I am going to write you
letter just to cheer you up bit, and
to give you my views of this territory
as farming country, hoping it will in
terest you and other friends. | have
met men very often this winter from
the northern states who came for the
purpose of buying land and they were
very much disappointed in not finding
any for sale, but such is the state of
affairs here, that is, our fellow citizens
(the Indians) own all the land Except
town sites) which they cannot sell for
the next 20 years unless they can
show to the Secretary of the Interior
that they are capable of attending to
their own affairs, when restrictions
will be removed and they be allowed
to /; as rule they are perfe ,tly
capable of helding their own in any
trade with the white man.
This territory is mostly settled by
poor men from the adjoining states of
Arkansas, Texas and Missouri, who
loaded their household goods and chill
dren into covered wagon, hitched up
their one horse and mule. tied poor
old COW and dog behind, and came
here to get some Of this good land for
nothing. but they failed, and are still
here, leasing and renting land (the
only way to get it, for which they have
to pay very high rent, that IS, g of the
corn and d of the cotton, as such
rent brings the land owner from S. to
SIS per acre with no taxes to pay.
Surely the Indian has a snap. But I
started to tell you or give you my
opinion of this territory as farm
ing country, which brings to my
mind what Col. Clark told me of this
country many years ago, he having
marched through it just after the war.
He described it as the finest country
he had ever been in, speaking of the
beautiful rolling prairies, fine streams
of water and plenty of timber.
think Nh. Clark was very much de-
ceived, in this way, as at that time
the country was covered with rank
growth of grass which prevented his
seeing the rocks. and most of the
beautiful streams are dry two-thirds of
the year. The facts are, only one
fourth TO one-third of the land is fit
for agriculture, the balance being very
rocky. When the government CLASH
fed this land they rated it as two
thirds fit for agriculture and one-third
pasture land, but they surely were
mistaken. Of course there is some
good prairie and bottom land, but it is
not plenty, but | believe this will be a
great fruit country, and the raising of
early vegetables for the northern mar
kets can be made very profitable. Well
I think | had better stop describing
this country or it will tire you in read
ing it.
Just a word about Thos. McDonald's
coal mine. / have been told by a num-
Der of different men who run steam
engines that the Henrietta coal is the
best steaming coal in the territory and
it will surely be a money maker for
him and those interested,
