Eldora, Nov. 3.---One Of the very re-
markablc families of Hardin county Is
that OF Thomas j. Sheldon and his
good wife who reside In this city
They were married In Knox county
Ohio. on the first day of November
1856. Uncle Tommy Sheldon, as he Is
Familiarity known, Is one of the bes'
known men in this county, having ltv-
ed here since 1854. At that time he
opened a store at Point Pleasant
which he conducted for four years
He then moved to the old homestead
Just north Of the Point, as the place
is now called, where he lived until
1892. At that time he and his wif'
removed to Eldora, where they now re-
side in one of the comfortable home
in the Third ward.
Mr. Sheldon was born August 81,
1923, In Licking county, Ohio. and his
wife. whose maiden name was Hen
rietta Majors. was born in Knox coun-
ty, August 1880. He was one OF the
great number of the people OF the
Buckeye state who went to California
at the time OF the gold excitement
there In 1Si9, driving overland. Five
years later, remembering the fertile
prairies Of Iowa as presenting prom
Using location, he came to Muacatinc,
and from there drove to Hardin coun-
ty, where he has resided ever since.
The next year ne was married In Ohio
and brought his bride to the western
home. The old town OF Point Pleasant
was nourishing then, but all vestige
OF II has now long since vanished.
About that time court house was
there erected but 1t was never occu-
pied as such, the residents in the east
ern part of the county succeeded In
restraining the removal Of the records
by process OF court. All the old
buildings including the old court
house have been torn down and car
ried away The last one of them to be
demolished was the old court house
about eight years ago.
The Sheldon family has been re-
markable one In that no death has ev-
err occurred among Its immediate
members. Nine children have been
born and they are all living and have
families OF their own; the names and
addresses Of the children are as fol-
lows: Mrs. Belle Lynn, Thompson.
Iowa; Mrs. Hulday, Blair, New Proyi-
dence: Mrs. Malinda Stowe, Iowa
Falls; Mrs. Viola Harris, Hayden
Sheldon, Thos. G. Sheldon, William S.
Sheldon, John r. Sheldon and Frank
S. Sheldon, of Eldora.
Mr.. ad Mrs. Sheldon are both en-
joying very good health, and one OF
the pleasant customs OF the family is
that all of the children gather at the
parental home in Eldora for an an
nual reunion on Thanksgiving day. No
citizen In Hardin county is held In
higher esteem than Thomas J. Shell

GEAR ngLDs,ro THE PEOPLE

The situation in Russia has
reached such an acute stage the
Car, alarmed at the outlook, has
condented to grant Russia consti-
tutional form of government by
the creation of ministry, which
is to be responsible alike to a
parliament of the people and to the
crown. This, it is said, has been
decided upon through the advice
and influence of Count Witte. who
seems to be the most level headed
man in Russia. He has been ap-
pointed Premier with wide power
and has called a council of Minis
ters which is to promptly promul-
gate laws governing freedom of
assembly and liberty of the press.
1t is stated that Witte in an in
terview with the Car frankly told
him the truth as to the situation
OF his capital and his empire-the
people hunger stricken and ready
for revolution; the capital isolated
from the rest of the world, with
its 100000 strikers, revolutionary
professions parading the streets,
mobs pillaging houses and search
ing for food and the people engaged
in combat with the Cossacks.
Witte informed the Gar that
anarchy was so imminenthe doubt
ed if even Republic could prevent
it.
The number ofstrikers in Russia
is said to now exceed 1000, 600.
Most of the railroads are owned bv
the Government, and the employees
OF these are among the strikers.
Trains have been stopped, food is
growing scarce in st. Petersburg
and other cities and famine riots
are threatened. Orders have been
given the soldiers to not inter
fere with numerous professions,
but to shoot to kill when disc. der
occurs. Thesituation is very threat
enlng, and if general revolution is
prevented it will doubtless be due
to Whites efforts to prevent it.
