said that he had a lot of sand;

Obituary Vogels berg.

The home Of Joseph Vogelsberg
was made desolate Monday morn
ing, May 18th, 1906, when the be-
loved mother and devoted wife
passed away at 10 O'Clock, after an
illness Of mole than year In the
death of Mrs. Vogelsberg the COM
munity has suffered the loss of one
Of its most valued members. To
the grief stricken husband and to
the bereaved sons, the loss comes as
an awful blow, and can never be
measured by human hands. Hers
was noble life inspired by high
ideals and lofty motives, and was a
model of devotion to home and
family, wherein she found her
greatest comfort and profitable re-
creation when surrounded by her
children. She did not fear death
for hers Was Chris tian life, and
the great enemy found her prepared
for the eternal slumber, but she had
often prayed that she might be
spared to see her younger sons
safely pass thru those tender years
where a good mothers influence is
SO much needed in moulding their
ideas and conduct to the conditions
and surroundings that confront
them during that period, and thus
make then stronger in their deter
mination to keep within the paths of
righteousness But also it was
not to be. She has gone. She has
left foot prints not on the sands IF
time alone, but in the memory of
those who are nearest and dearest,
that will never, no never fade. Mrs.
| VOgelsberg was a most estimable
woman; whatever was good found
in her a steadfast friend. She adj
vocated what she believed would
ultimately bring peace and happ1-
ness to all humanity.
At times we have known her
most intimate friends to disagree
with her in her opinion, but never
once to doubt the honesty of her
motives. In time of sickness she
was especially helpful, and it was
at such times that the generosity of
her heart and the nobility of her
soul was most apparent. The sub
ject of this sketch, Caroline Kuester.
as was her maiden name, was born
near Rockville, Wis, May 80, 1859.
So at the time of her death she was
46 yrs. IL mos. and 16 days old.
On the 18th of July 1880 she was
married TO Joseph Vogelsberg who
with their three sons Henry, Grover
and Charles are left to mourn her
lrreparable loss. The funeral was
held on Wednesday in the Con-
gregational church. The services
were conducted by the Rev. r. G.
BENEFITS who spoke with much
feeling of the deceased and Of the
beauty of her life so recently closed.
The pail bearers were A. Kalten-
back, W. FL. Thomas, P. ]. Blipdert.
W. c. Hymer, John Fure and T. H.
Runkel. The remains were inferred
in the British Hollow cemetery; the
procession was one of the largest
ever seen in the community.

EVANS FOR GOVERNOR
NAMED BY TENNESSEE REPUBLI-

Henry Clay Evans of Hamilton county,
former commissioner af pensions and re-
Gently American consul general in London.
was nominated for governor by the repub-
Iican state convention at Nashville, Tenn.
last night D. G, Swab was nominated for
railroad commissioner.
The nomination OF Evans for governor
came after an exciting session and marks
the transfer of republican leadership In
Tennessee from Representative Walter p.
Brownlow of the first district to Mr.. Evans.
Harmony was indicated yesterday morning
when Mr. Browniow declared that he would
not oppose the Evans candidate for perma-

Then came long waits for the COMMITTEES
on credentials. and last night the storm
broke over It's reports. There was dlvis-

the attempts of each faction to seat Its
choice soon changed the convention into
a bowling mob. Delegates crowded the
speakers stand, ran over the press tables
and threatened to engage In hst fights

CONSTRUCTIVE JUDGES
TERM APPLIED TO CERTAIN
CLASS CALLED FOR TODAY.

The feature of yesterdays session Of the
Administrators Bar Association at Little
Rock. Ark, was an address by Associate
Justice David ]. Brewer of the United
States Supreme Court on Two Periods In
the History of the Supreme Court
The two periods referred to were the
period of strict construction OF the Consti-
tuition, thoroughly speaking. the period up
to the civil war. and the period of liberal
construction, with its attendant tendency
to functional enlargement, covering the
period since the civil war.
The speaker showed that during the first
period the Constitution and its interpreta-
ton by Justice John Marshall had been
sacredly revered. Nothing had been as
sumed by the Judiciary and the "construc-
tive jurist" was an unknown element The
rights of the states had been jealousy
guarded and the general government held
to the powers granted 1t.
Since that period, however. q great change
had come. The federal government had
become presumptfve. The Individual had
been made wholly subservient TO the ma
tionai idea
1t is now how much the Individual would
willingly give to his country. but how much
the nation could take from him." said the
speaker.
Colonial Policy Base Travssty.

held up to be q base travesty on the origi-

nal intention of our forefathers who them
selves fought that they might be free from
such conditions. The government had come
to be considered a general dispensatory. and
Washington was the great lobby camp OF
the world More legislation had been thrust
upon Congress than IL could attend to- and
the government had become matter of
committee legislation.
Constructive Judges were clamored for
who could stretch and enlarge the meaning
of the Constitution. II there were to be
constitutional change. the speaker said. 1t
should come by the properly empowered
channel, the people through their represen-
tatives. The federal government is efficient
but there are things greater than mere eff
ficiency. namely, the protection of the indi-
vidual and the upbuilding of his sense of
individual responsibility.
The speaker condemned in measured
terms the extension of police powers. which
had. he said. become an omnivorous mouth,
with no sense but to destroy. and had made
important the declaration of our right to
life, liberty, etc.
I'VE need more Hayneses and Patrick
Henrys. and then we may again stand in
truth the land OF the free and the home OF
the brave" he concluded.
