a body. The services were conduct
ed by Rev. Pershing and W. Fl. Kor-
negay.
Frayser is dead.
The big-hearted, warm-natured,
sympathetic friend of the masses
philosopher and unique character ha
passed away. Only his memory re-
mains. That memory is the heritage
of the people of Vinita without dis
tinction. The busy brain and delight
full disposition; the ready tongue and
splendid intellect glows no longer
here.
DR.. Frazee had what most men
have not. Me possessed individuality.
He was Frazee and was different from
every other person in marked degree.
He was character such as Dickens
or MacAulaey or any of the great
word painters or deIineators Of human
character would immortalizs.
To write fulsome flattery OF Frazee,
and to try to cover the scars and de-
formities of bis life with platitudes,
would be objectionable in one who
knew him we'll. He would not want
such an eulogy printed. He had some
lamentable defects, and knew them
himself better perhaps than anyone
else knew them. But his frailties
were against himself and not Others.
Whatever weakness he had come not
from poverty Of mind or heart but
rather from the plenitude Of his na-
tive ability. His philosophy Of
life," as he characterized his views on
the serious affairs Of life was his re-
ligion, and he often declared that
death was Of no Importance as 1t
would come anyway in process Of time,
and he did not hesitate to believe that
somewhere, in some other condition
of existence we shall meet again.
When occasion demanded he could
bury his political and other animosi-
ties in his patriotism and could be
depended on to do the right thing.
Dr.. NJ. Frazee will be missed By
very many Vinita people: He was
in touch and sympaty with people Of
every condition. He was the valued
adviser Of men Of affairs, and CT those
in the humber walks Of life. With
his keen eye he scanned the throng on
the street as he sat in front Of his
place Of business. He knew nearly
every child in the city and as occasion

MISSOURI
Gets BACK

st. Louis, Nov. Election in Mis-
souri, resulted in heavy Democratic
gains over votes Of 1904 and indica-
tions are that the state marched back
TO Democratic ranks. Many heavy
Democratic countries that stampeded
badly two years ago made old time
showing for the Democr attic ticket.
State congressional and local legisla-
ture seems Democratic In both
branches beyond doubt.

Philadelphia, March 15.-Battling
Nelson and Terry McGovern both were

round bout before the National Athletic
club here last night AS no decision
IS allowed in the Quaker stronghold,
the result was recorded as a draw, al
though the once Terrible Terry" was
rather shaky in his undergraduates AT
the close, and il was evident that an
other round would have finished him.
In some respects the fight was disap-
pointing, and for almost three rounds
it looked as if the spectators would
not get much of return for the fancy
prices paid for the ringside seats. His

first two rounds as clinch followed

The storm of Kisses seemed partic-

though it was apparent that McGovern
was not there TO take many chances.
Then as the battle went on both fight
in a whirlwind finish, with McGOvern
wobbly and part of the time hanging
on the ropes.
Despite the mediocre showing at
first, it was Nelson's fight by a wide
margin, although a good many thought
that some referee might have called
the fight draw, depending upon his
sprinting ability to get away with the
decision.
Those who had strung their money
behind McGovern filed the building
