POLLOCK GETS A PLUM.
Services the Teller Rendered LaF0l-
lett During Campaign Rewarded.

Editor Pollock's compensation for
the efforts he made to re-elect Gov.
LaFollette to a third term and
bring about the defeat of Congress-
man Babcock is a fat job for his
son Burne in the legislature.
B The plum was shook down by
the governor Saturday and the
duties to be performed are those OF
a document clerk, under supervl-
sion OF the sergeant-at-arms in the
assembly chamber. The salary in
connection with the position is
slated at 81 per day and the task
is light one, and holds good as
long as the legislature is in session.
1t was foregone conclusion that
the Teller was not shouting itself
hoarse each week during the CAM
paign for nothing-in fact, there
was very probably an understand
ing to the effect that there would be
something coming providing the
governor won out.

JOHN CLARK.

Atty. R. A. Watkins received
news here Saturday from Mrs.
Watkins at Lawton, o. T., that
her brother, John Clark, who has
been making his residence with
them there for some time past, was
seriously ill with pneumonia. Mon
day morning a second message
brought the intelligence of his
death, which occurred Sunday.
Deceased was about forty-fve
years of age and will be remem-
bered by many in Lancaster, hav-
ing resided here for several years,
from 1878 to 1884. He was a printer
by trade and worked in the Herald
Office for period while here. His
father, Chas. Clark, was brother
of Col. John G. Clark, and died dur
ing the war at his home in Texas.
The mother survived several years
and reared the family as best she
could. After her demise the eldest
daughter kept house for the chill
dren for time, when unfortunately
she also passed away. Col. Clark
went down then and brought back
with Ihim to Lancaster four of the
younger children. They were
Charles, John, Ellen, (now Mrs.
Watkins) and Sarah. The latter re-
turned to Texas after a short time.
Charles died and is buried here.
Deceased was associated with his
brother Tom in farming in Texas
until recently, when he went to
reside with his sister, Mrs. Watkins
at Lawton. He was single man.
Relatives and friends here ex-
tend sympathy to the bereaved
family.

The man who kindles the fire
with the catalogues from the de-
partment store, and gives all his
trade to his home merchants, is the
man who helps to put better value
on your property. The more a
town grows, and the more business
it does, the greater the increase in
the value of property-both city
and farm. The man who patronizes
the city department stores in pre-
ference to his home merchants,
thanking that he may thereby save
few paltry pennies, is simply de
tracing from the wealth of his own
community.
