NEAR MT. VERNON
Young Son of John Timm Drowned in
F,resteel Sunday While Sem
ing for Fish.

A most deplorable accident a mile
and a half east Of Nj. Vernon hap
pened Sunday evening when John
Timm's son, William, a lad 16 years
old, was drowned in Firesteel creek.
With a party of four or five other
boys he was SEEMING in the creek, the
seine being dropped in close proxi-
nifty to a barb wire fence stretching
across the creek. The seine caught
on the wire and the boy in trying
to loosen it was taken with a cramp.
Within sight Of his friends the boy
sank from their view and before
they could reach him he was
drowned. For an hour an and a half
they dragged the spot where he went
down and their efforts we're finally
rewarded by bringing his body to the
surface of the water. The face Of
the lad was badly bruised where the
graphing hooks caught in the flesh
and tore it loose. 1t was a very sad
and unhappy ending for the after
noon.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon at Mt. Vernon and the
remains laid to rest in the cemetery
adjoining the town.

ACTION AGAINST MoRMoNs
Chief Keith Notified Them That The,
Could Not Do Any More Can
vassing in the City.

Since the article was published in
The Capital last week con .erning
the canvassing done by the
Mormon missionaries there has been
more or less talk concerning the
liberties that have been taken in
calling at homes to disseminate their
doctrine and talk in favor OF polyg-
amy. in IA that question was put
to Them. In several instances reports
have been maze to Mavor.O. l..
Branson in- this respect, and as a
matter OF justice to the citizens
OF the city not to have their homes
intluded upon he ordered Chef O
Police Keith this afternoon to call
at the place where the missionaries
are stopping and inform them that
they must desist f1o,u making a
house to house canvass and holding
their religious meetings on the
streets.
When Informed of the mayor's re.
quest the missionaries notified the
chief That they would acquiesce in
the maltter and That they would
give up any furthe: work.
Mayor Blanson said That from all
tire reports that had come to him
he WAS convinced in his own mind
that the missionaries were polyg-
amists and that they should not be
allowed TO discuss or teach polygamy
here.

good many OF tue boys, rather than

pitched their tents GU the lawn of
the city hall end camped out.
Captain Rathbun gave The Repub-
llcan an interesting account Of the
trip, which, be said, none OF the
boys would have missed for anything.
1t was a new insight into the mill
tary world which they did not dream
existed and they learned enough in
that time to last them for some
years to come. Aside from their
military duties the boys ere given
an opportunity to see some of the
country, and each afternoon after
3 o'clock their time could be en-
ployed as they saw fit. The South
Dakota regiment was camped at the
extreme end of line, which extended
four miles in length, and it was a
solid mass Of tents, a sight that was
great to see. The camp was located
three miles from junction City, and
it was a seven mile walk to town, if
there were no conveyances handy.
Saturday morning Captain Murray,
OF General Wint's staff, inspected
the South Dakota regiment of 400
men, and his report vas highly graf
flying to the young soldiers. The
regiment took part in two large
maneuvers, where the staying quail
ties were brought into requisition,
and the South Dakota soldier stood
the task better than the acclimated
Kansas soldiers. On the long march
of 20 miles, which was a rushing
one, up and down hills, but two men
from the regiment of South Dakota
fell out, while from the TWO regl-
merits of Kansas fourteen men had
to succumb to the torrid heat Of the
day.
Several regiments OF the regular
army are stationed at the camp TIC
aid in the military Instructions that
were given each day, and they will
remain through the entire encamp-
ment, which will close about Oct. i.
Practically all of tile militia of the
western states will go to Fort Riley for
military instructions and as fast as
one regiment goes another is there
to take its place. Two regiments
FROM Arkansas left the day that the
South Dakota regiment arrived at
Fort Riley and the two Kansas reyi-
,nents came the day after South
Dakota arrived. so that some regi-
ment is coming or going each week.
Colonel Robert Stewart was called
away the second dav after South
Dakota reached Fort Riley and
Lieutenant Colonel Aldrich, OF
Sioux Falls, was in charge Of the
regiment.

Martha E Snow was born in Ster-
ling. Mass, Feb 2. 1880. and emf
grated thence with her husband,
Willard Snow, to Iowa, thence to
Mitchell in 1881, where she has since
resided At her death, which &C.
Cured on August %, 1906, she leaves
a husband IS years of age and two
sons, Willard Snow, jr., OF Sioux
Falls. and Henry e. Snow. Of Mitch
ell.
We shall miss her gentle ministra-
tions. her high born courage in
facing life's conditions as she found
them. her broad and kindly outlook
on the earthly life. Could we hut
close our eyes and listen, we might
hear the echoing adown the aisles
OF the home OF the soul. the voice Of
the Saviour Of men as once before
saying, "s1nasmuch as We have done
it unto the least of these, ye have
done it unto NE, welcome thou into
the joys Of thy Lord" Happy we
if in the future. toward which we
are tending, we may clasp glad
hands with Mrs. Snow, whose name
was but a symbol OF her own pure
life.
To her rare intellectual gifts. she
added a combination of moral quail
ties that were unique. An equa-
nimity Of temper that no attrition
with the untoWard events of life
could rut1le; oblivious. always, Of
self, b 1T eve mindful OF the llappi-
ness or good OF others: never in
luenced by the gossip or criticism
adverse to the reputation of neigh
bors or Appropriateness, but would
always meet these attacks with
modifying excuses, or smother the
detractlon with some good which she
had discovered in their character or
lives. She was always searching tina
good and ignoring the bad in others.
Her daily acts were a constant eX-
empii ication of the admonition of
Christ, do unto Others as you would
have them do unto YOU
Thus has passed from earth a
noble woman. leaving a rich legacy
in its impress upon the world of her
sweet pure CDrlStllkG lille. Nothing
that we is friends and neighbors
could say would in any way add to
or detlact from this beautiful life.
In its simple living it told its own
story and spoke volumes. Through
her torceful admonitions many a
heart has found peace where bitter
ness abided. Many a soul gained
hope and enthusiasm where despair
had made life desolate Through
her we have learned that love to God
and MAI were higher still than
creed, and that by living each day in
harmony with the source OF greatest
good we were advanced spiritually
and mentally.
