PEACHAn.
Death Of Former Resident.

Mrs. Harriet S. Cady. former resident
of Peacham, died very suddenly WITH
neuralgia of the heart at her home at
Westboro, Mass. She was born in Peach
ham March 1S, 1925, and was the
daughter of Jonathan and Eunice Elkins.
Her father was a soldier in the Revolu-
tionarv war, was taken prisoner and
confined in Dartmoor prison. BENJAMIN
Franklin was minister of United States
to France at the time, and finding the
prisoners had very poor food given them
he offered to provide the prisoners with
with better food at his own expense
and gave them their choice to take the
money for food or let it go toward pay
ing for an education. Mr.. Elkins chose
the latter and Mrs. Cady kept the book
her father studied in the prison until her
death, She was married to Daniel k.
Cady. Sept. 80, 1916. Two daughters
were born to them, one of whom, Emily,
died in early life. Mr.. Cady and the other
daughter Helen died in 1879. The West
boro paper says, "In the death of Mrs.
Cady the town loses one of the purest,
sweetest, most lovable, and deeply lam
ented personages it has ever known. Her
kind words and deeds are we'll known;
she loved young people and they loved
her. Her primary class in Sunday school
gave each birthday as many pennies as
Years old for Benevolent purposes. Mrs.
Cady followed this rule and the morning
of her death her 8Oth birthday sent her
so cents. Mrs. Cady lived in Peacham
until younglady andis well remembered
by the older people here. Several nieces
and one nephew are the nearest living
relatives: Mrs. Sarah Martin Marrill OF
Kansas City, Mo-, Mrs. Norman Bingham
of Somerville, Mass, Mrs. Augusta Hunt
of Peacham, Mrs. Gregory Herson OF
Milwaukee, Wis, and DR.. Alden Martin

AT THE WILLIE.
CoIden wedding Celebration.

On the fifth OF April, 1855, Austin w,
Houghton and Ann Augusta Prescott
were united in marriage at Lyndon
Center, by Rev. A. D. Smith. Fifty years
later. last Wednesday evening, the many
relatives and friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Houghton, who have for so many years
! dwelt among us, met TO celebrate with
them this rare and fortunate anniver-
sary. Their home was filled to over
flowing with friends, who were glad to
offer their congratulations and wishes
that their happy married lite might
continue for many years more. short
and appropriate address was made by
Rev. ]. c. Bodwell, who has the happy
faculty of saying the right thing in the
right place. After greeting their host
and hostess, and spending the time very
pleasantly in conversation, the guests
were RECALLED with most delicious refresh
ments. Very daintily arranged tables
were set in the rooms upstairs and the
menu consisted of salad, rolls, olives,
coffee, ice cream and cake. Miss Annie
Houghton, who had charge OF the whole
affair, deserves to be congratulated on
her efficient management. The children
of Mr.. and Mrs. Houghton were all
present, with the exception OF their son
George OF Bangor, Maine, who was uu-
expectedly detained at The last moment.
Besides many relatives in this vicinity,
Mrs. George Houghton of Bangor was
here, also their nepbe W, Harry Houghton
of Boston, son of DR.. Fl. A. Houghtou.
Another most welcome guest was the
first great grandchild, four months old,
the son of Mrs. Gertrude Kidder Amidon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Houghton were well re-
membered by their friends with many
beautiful gifts of cut glass, silver, china
and gold. As be6tted the occasion, most
of the presents took the form of golden
eagles, and $155 in gold was given by
various friends here, and other gifts made
the total amount of gold $183. Mr. and
Mrs. Houghton are both natives OF
Lyndon and lifelong residents. Thirty
years ago they built the house on Main
street, which they have occupied ever
since. Seven children were born to them,
three boys who died in infancy; George,
who is now general manager of the
Bangor & Aroostook Railroad in Maine;
Mrs. Charles Lyon of Lyndon; Miss
Annie Houghton of this place; and Mrs
Myles S. Gilman of st. Johnsbury. They
are among our best citizens people whom
every one likes, and of whom no one has
anything but kind words. Among the
familiar faces in our streets, there is none
that would be missed more than that oil
Austin Houghton. Honest, kind, frugal
and hard working, now at rs years OIL
age he is a worthy example of grit
and industry to many younger men. A
long life and happy one tor Mr.. and
Mrs. Houghton is the wish of all in the
community.

DEATH OF A GERMAN SOLDIER
Major Otto Bake, Father of R. |.
 BalKe of This City.

R. L. Bake yesterday received word of the death near Berlin. of his father Major Otto Bake. retired of the Ger man army. Major Bake was seventy two years of age. His lie had been spent in the army and his career was
 a1 active one.
 His father in the Napoleonic war had risen from the ranks to the rank of major an unusual promotion in those days when the commissioned officers were for the most part if not all, members of the nobility.
 His son at the usual age entered the service as a private but within d short time became a commission ~ ed officer. For bravery in the war be- tween Prussia and Austria on one side and Schelswig- -Holstein Denmark on the other he was made a lieutenant by brevet having after the death of his
 superior officers led a desperate and successful charge. He was severely wounded in this engagement. At the outbreak of the war between Prussia and Austria he became a lieu tenant and fought through that brief conflict being wounded again at Sa- dowa Here he was shot through the lungs. He was further promoted af- ter this and was soon after detached from cctive service and visited many
 European countries in the capacity O. military attache.
 At the outbreak of the FTanco- P1.ussian war he was recalled to his i former command in the Red Hussars. He participated in the most important battles and was wounded at Grave ] Iotte. He was stationed in Paris dur ! ing the period of the occupation and
 was present at the crowning Of the Emperor William l at Versailles, the 1 only officer there not of the nobility. He was retired from the army on account of infirmitjes and was ap- rointed postmaster at the city of ! Pl ndenburg which office he held un- til few years ago when he was
 obliged to surrender it on account of 1 III health.
 He leaves one son and several daughters most of whom are wives of : German army officers: one of them is t@he wife Of an officer of the Russian army.
 { Major Bake received many marks
 Cf recognition from his government.
 the most distinguished of which was
 his elevation to knighthood in the Ord i der of the Red Eagle.

only recovered the goods which they were after, but found many others that had been stolen in earlier burglaries. Both were indicted. The woman has not yet been tried.
 Roemer and his wife lived in Phoe- nix for some time. About the time he left here he got a rifle of Charles Gitt- ner and carried it away. Gittner car ried on some correspondence with the Prescott authorities with reference to the rifle, but he could get no warrant here for the arrest of ROemer. It is likely that if the warrant had been is sued and a search had been made of Roemer's place his burglarious prac- tices would have been discovered ear Her. for the burglaries began soon af- ter the removal of the Roemers to Prescott.
 The other cOnvicts brought down by the sheriff were a colored boy by the name of shine" who is sentenced to three years for the robbery of a China man. Another is a cripple, who made use of his infrmity to enable him to get into houses on a preteXt of beg gary If he found no one at home he stole whatever he could carry away. The fourth convict is a common sneak thief and burglar.

A CONFUSION OF INITIALS
'C. H." Valentine not the Valentine
 Meant.

An unfortunate error in The Repub- lican in the use of initials subjected MT. C. 1T. Valentine the well known contractor, to a great deal of annoy ance and joshing yesterday. There was a story in this paper about the re- covery of a lot of pigeons belonging to the -year-old son of R. L. Comfort. It was stated that they had been found in the possession of 'C. II. Valentine,' ,'' who also happened to be in the pigeon business. There was no intimation or even supposition that Mir. Valentine had come by the birds irregularly. IL was stated that he had bought them of boys who he thought had a right to sell them.
 But as Q matter of fact. c. II. Val entine had nothing to do with the pig con transaction. The pigeon promoter meant was N. D. Valentine, a colored man engaged in the manufacture of hot tamales, of which it is said pig cons are sometimes constituent parts.
 The mere use of the initials Of C. II. Valentine would not have been so an moving to him but for one thing. MT. Valentine is a member of the Phoenix Gun club, and the business of getting pigeons for the last live bird shoot had been put into his hands. He bought pigeons wherever he could for that event. but he bought none of boys.
 All day yesterday whenever Mir. Val entine turned a street corner some member of the club or some one know ing of his connection with the club butted into him and pointed the ac- cusing finger at him and charged him with having robbed a little boys pigeon cote to make a holiday for the Phoe- rn~- lieved anything of the sort, but his of- fee as pigeon buyer for the club and the reporters confusion of the initials fitted together so nicely that MT. Val entine toward night felt that an ex- planation was due to the public.
 lie is getting another lot Of pigeons together for a live bird shoot, but he is not negotiating with boys. He is going to get them from Congress.
