Mr.. Shives was married to Mary E.
Simmons, they having one daughter,
Mrs. Leona May Hitchiugs of Ellis. Mr..
Shives was man of peculiar temper
ment and for many years he had never
left his home even to visit the towns
OF this county. For the past two
months he had suffered greatly from a
complication of diseases and it was in
dispair of recovery and dreading the
inevitable pain, that he ended his own
life. He had lead an extraordinary
life in many ways, had overcome many
temptations and his death came as q
great shock to his many friends.

erection of Denison's high school build
ing and as the only practical builder
on the board, to him is largely due the
credit. that the building was COM
pleted without q trace of jobbery and
that it stands to-day the crowning
glory of our school system.
For ourselves we cannot think of q
happier death. To die with the strong
blood of manhood surging through
ones veins. to die without the long
drawn agony Of death, to avoid the
narrowing grief of parting. all this is
Death in it's most merciful and kindliest
form. But to the loved ones left the
sorrow is most poignant, the grief and
sorrow. heart breaking. 1t is the
thought of his loved ones. of the frail
wife and mother devoted to him during
all these years. of the daughters just
budding into womanhood who are thus
deprived of q fathers care of the son in
the far Northland who has not vet
heard of his fathers death. of the boy
at home growing to manhood with a
burden beyond his years, it is of these
we think with sorrow and with sad
ness. We can but commend them to
the God of the fatherless, the One who
watches over all and bid them find com
fort in that priceless heritage the mem
ory of their fathers life, life of self
respect; of patriotism, of honesty and
uprightness. We shall.miss Mr.. Sewell
as a citizen. as neighbor and as
friend and he will be remembered long
as one who loved our little city and who
was ever ready to give of his best
thought and effort for it's advancement.
Very appropriately the public schools
were closed the afternoon of Mr..
Sewell's funeral and we are pleased to
publish below the resolutions of re-.
spect and sympathy adopted by his
fellow workers on the Denison school
board.
RESOLUTIONS.
At special meeting of the School
Board of the Independent District of

and resolution was adopted;
Whereas. N. L. Hunt President Of
the Independent District of Denison,
has been officially modified Of the.
sudden, unexpected and tragic death
of their oldest member, L. A. Sewell,
Therefore be it resolved: That in the
death of Mr.. Sewell the Board rectog-
nizes the loss is greater on accounv of
his great ability, his length of sersice
and his fidelity to the best interest of

parable,
Therefore. be it further resolved
that as the representatives of the Inde-
pendent District of Denison we offer to
the family of Mr.. Sewell cur heartfelt
sympathy and condole with them in
their great and irreparable loss.

Nassau Suffolk Duchess Putnam, Orange,
RockIand and Westchester. Hereafter, except
in New-York County, Kings County and the
counties named above, the legislature may pro-
vide for the election of one Supreme Court
Justice for each 10000 inhabitants and one for
each major fraction exceeding $4,000. In the
excepted area one justice is to be allotted for
every 10000 inhabitants and for each major
fraction exceeding 5000 BY the seventh
amendment Supreme Court justices designated
to sit on the bench of an Appellate Division are
TO be permitted to exercise their functions as
ordinary justices and hold terms of court when
the Appellate Division is not in session. But
such terms must not be held in counties form
ing a part of the department in which they
sit as Appellate justices.
The fourth amendment * drawI2 to remove the
obstacles put by the constitution in the way of
state regulation Of hours of labor and rates of
wages in cases in which the state is the en-
ployer directly or indirectly. Laws already
passed by the legislature asserting control
along these lines have been annulled by the
Court of Appeals. The amendment submitted
empowers the legislature to regulate and fix
'the wages salaries the hours of work or
labor, and make provision for the protection

state. or by any county. cry. town, village or
"other civil division of the state, by any con
tractor or sub-contractor performing work
labor or services for the state or for any coun-

thereof"
The fifth amendment allows the state TO in
cur bonded Indebtedness of S50,000,000 in car
rying out the provisions of the Higbie Armstrong
good roads law. The state is expected to pay
half the cost of highway improvement while
the towns and counties benefited are to pay the
other half. None of the amendments have en-
countered political opposition, and each should
be dealt with solely on its merits by voters of

cause of his kingship may therefore pc dls-
missed from thought. Indeed, he is probably
being chosen largely because of the great I'M

There has been some comment in Germany
and Russia upon the prospect that one OF these
days. not far away. there will be reignlng at the
two sides of the narrow seas between the Baltic
and the Atlantic father and his son, the one Il
brother-in,law and the other son-in-law OF the
King of England. 1t is not to be supposed,
however, that in that circumstance there will be
the least menace to German or Russian interests
in those waters. For thing, the narrow part
of those seas is between Denmark and Sweden,
and not between Denmark and Norway and, for
another, these prospective kings are also reia-
tives of the German and Russian emperors. In
deed, the reigning families of Great Britain.
Germany, Russia. Denmark and Sweden are all
inextricably intermingled by birth and by mar
riage, that talk Of either alliances or hostill-
ties among them on family grounds may be re
garded vain As for this stalwart scion of a
mighty stock, he will doubtless prove TO be a
worthy successor of the Haakons and Olafs of
old, and as such is to be welcomed to the newly
erected throne of the Vikings.

RECENT USE OF THE DITIyING ROD

Accounts of the discovery of suhterranean
streams with the aid of forked twig held by
n perambulating explorer on the surface of the
earth, have usually been regarded with skep-
ticism and often with derision Biologists en-
gneers and other scientific men have usually
laughed at the stories themselves and pro-
nounced the persons who made use of the divin-
ing rod conscious or unconscious deceiyers.
Within the last few years, though, such tales
have been treated with more respect than for
merly. They are not infrequently examined
with enough care to indicate whether they rest
on good authority. Details are occasionally con-
sidered with view to ascertaining If test con-
ditions We're imposed on an operator whose
feats were described. A willingness to be con-
vinced of the genuneness of the phenomenon, if
suitable evidence is forthcoming, is thus
evinced; and even though no verdict may be
rendered an attitude of serious attention is
really concession.

superficial signs. His skill was then tried in
another way. Without any ntimation of the
