dealings and asking no favors, but de-
clining all honors from the town. He
did, however, accept the position of
president of the Wellington Cemetery
association several years ago, which
Office he held to the time of his death,
as he was much interested in the
identifying of this last resting place
of the townspeople. In Difference to

WELLINGTON HILL BONFIRE.
On wilmington common one eve,
Century twentieth, believe,
Were gathered at a bonfire great
Both old and young, from Nutmeg state,
From Emire state, and Jersey, too,
To chat and sing, as people do;
SO passed the evening hour away
Far into night, as some would say.
The date you will remember well
If we of peace or war do dwell,
Since issues great, in balance hung,
AS deadlock on four strings was sung.
Plenipotent1aTies fail,
All efforts prove of no avail;
To reach Peace, men disagree,
Since eye to eye, each do not see.
But other thoughts claim now our care
Let US look up, 1nhale the air;
Survey the worlds, which God has made
In clusters and In groups arrayed.
See Lyra in the Harp up there;
See Cassiopeia, very fair;
See Ursa Major, or Charles's Vain,
Or Great Bear, readily exclaim;
Yea, D1pper, call it, hence, forever,
Merak-Dubhe-Po Pointers ever;
POlaris see, nine yard sticks on
From Dubhe-calmly hook upon.
Look up no longer, look below,
See who in group you surely know;
And photograph each, If you may, ..e
In memory keep till later day. -.t.
But Bonfire. soon its course will run,
IFS wood to embers surely come;
us work Is done-has pleasure given,
It's upward fame pointing to heaven.
May it our instructor be
In all our sports, the great end see.
A world above this neeting show
Invites us-we its joys may know.
We're glad the Bonfire has been made,
Most kindly thank those by whose aid
Twas possible it could be,
And gathered here, these we do see
We separate, each to our home,
In hope, wherever we may roam,
That when we finish life, below,
We all to heaven, at length, may 60.

3-5, will then be appointed.
The attendance at the services in
the hall last Sunday was extremely
small owing to the drenching storm.
The preaching service was omitted
and Rev. @. w. Wolfe conducted the
Sunday school, giving talk on the
two characters, Elijah and Elisha.
Although not entirely unexpected,
the news of the death of our old fell
low townsman, Samuel Nichols, re-
Monday forenoon, was a shock to his
many friends in this village, where
he has been familiar figure for more
than 40 years. His death occurred
at a sanitarium in Hartford Monday
morning, where he had recently gone
for treatment. Mr.. Nichols was born
in Leeds, England, Jan. 9th, 1880,
and came to this country in 1874.
Before coming to Wellington he had
lived in Millbury and other towns in
New York state. Coming to this
town in 1851, he, with his brother,
Charles, bought the two adjoining
farms a mile north of this village,
and have occupied the same until this
spring, when deceased. with his wife,
moved to Unionville to live with their
daughter, Mrs. James +. Lawrence.
Mr.. Nichols was married Oct. 3, 1855,
to Miss Ann, daughter of William
Slingsby, and had four children
Mary, wife of James Lawrence, now
living in Unionville, George H. and
William, both of this village, and
Rose, wife of John Starkweather of
New York city. Mr.. Nichols began

mayor of Turner, is the originator of
the idea, but it remained for Charley
Thronsen's hired man-Robert Nc
Dowell--to put the idea into execution.
Mr.. Mcdowell bitches thirty-two Of
Mr.. Thronsen's horses onto, house
and with rope lines from fifty to sew
enty-five feet in length, he ascends
to the top of the house and drives
leisurely along without disturbing the
family within in any respect. Thus,
like Romulus populating Rome by en-
trapping the Sabines into the city,
Mayor Thorp is rapidly increasing the
population, wealth and industries of
Turner by hauling in houses from the
surrounding country containing whole
families. Another influence that is
giving the growth of Turner an i'm
petus is the fact that the owner of the
townsite gives a fine building lot to
anyone who is willing to build
mouse or haul one in ready built from
the country. And the next thing we
hear will be of some young fellow in
Turner going Paris or Troy one better
by not only kidnapping some fair
Helen, but by taking well furnished
house with her.

together.
The season will probably open about
the first of April with a series of
practice games. Fort Walla Walla will
probably have team which will COM

The University of Washington
which played two such exciting games
here last May will be here again about
worth college, Tacoma, may be here
about May r. although this game has
not been decided on yet About May
II, the Whitman team will take it's
annual trip north to try conclusions
with Pullman and Moscow on their
grounds.
There will be six old men back in
baseball work this spring. Captain
butcher, the best amateur third base
man in the Inland Empire; Louis
Sutherland, the foxy first baseman;
Elmo Reser, the swift little shortstop
of last year; Arthur Morgan, who
made second hard place to pass; Dali
las CARED, the slim pitcher; Rad
ford Rigsy, old reliable in the field,
and Roy Perringer, who played CEN
ter two years ago.
There is also quite bunch of new
material out every night at practice
Among them are Stone, Plat, Salleg,
Bassett, a good man in field, Daven-
port, Alpha Cox, a swift baserunner
and little Carl Burcn, who can handle
the leather sphere with a skill that
puts lots of the big fellows to shame.

prospects for lots of games are good.

Years ago the Marshall woman was

soon took up the use of opium and
