The Late E. K. Robinson


The Late e. K. Robinson
The death of Elijah K. Rob
inson will be regretted by many
residents of this city, by whom
he has always been cid in high
esteem. Mr.. R,ayinson had
been engaged ii .i.e newspaper
agency business in this city up
till about four years ago, since
when he had been living quiet
ly at home.
Mr.. Robinson was born in
Greencastle, Putnam county,
Indiana, November %, 1923.
At the age of twenty-one years
he moved to Iowa, where he
married Miss Lydia Culver,
who survives him. When the
Civil war broke out Mr.. Robin
son was among the first to take
up arms for his country. He
enlisted in B Troop of the First
Regiment of the Dakota Cav
airy, which made such a notable
record. First Sergeant Robin
son was always to be found in
the thickest of the fight. Later
the young man served under
General Lally in the Dakota
Indian war. After the war he
occupied the position Of post
master at st. John, Harrison
county, Iowa.
In 1874, after having lived
thirty years in Iowa, Mr.. Rob-
inson with his family moved to
San Jose, which city has been
their residence ever since.
A few days ago Mr.. Robinson
was stricken with pneumonia.
The fact that he was over
eighty years of age rendered
him unable to fight the attack.
He passed away yesterday
evening, after having been un-
conscious for four hours.
Mr.. Robinson leaves his wife,
Lydia Robinson, two sons and
two daughters. j. ID. Robinson
engaged in carriage painting at
178 Post street and w. H. Rob-
inson who is connected with a
large lumber firm in Oakland,
are the sons. The daughters,
Mrs. d. N. Whiteside and Mrs.
7. C. Sullivan, both reside at
148 Locust street in this city.
The funeral will be held Sun
day at 3 o'clock p. NJ, from his
late residence, No. SIP South
Tenth street. Interment Oak
Hill. San Jose (Cal) Mercury,
Dec. 2, 1906.
Thus another of the old set
tiers in st. John township, Har-
rison county, Iowa, who left
this section in 1874 and settled
in California has passed away.
He will be remembered here by
a large circle of friends who
will remember him as justice of
the peace, postmaster and me-
chanic for years, and one who
left to the regret of many
friends in Iowa. He was a
genial friend, good neighbor,
respected citizen. His home
here was in old st. John.
Mrs. Elmer Clapp left this
morning for a few days visit at

Death of Mrs. James Laughery

Deatn OF WITS. James LaugnerV
Mrs. James Laughery died
December Is, 1906, at Lima,
Indiana, at the home of a sister
where she had gone in search
of health. Mrs. Laughery was
sixty-six years of age and was
one of the pioneers Of Harrison
county, she and her husband,
who died in 1902, having moved
here in 1864. She has a host
Iof friends in and around Mis-
souri, Valley who will be sad to
hear of her death, for she made
friends wherever she went
and to know her was to love
her. She was truly one of
Gods noble women who
was kind alike to all and
many a sad heart has she
cheered and many a burden
made light. She was a Christ
ian-Spiritualist in the true
sense of the term in her re-
ligious belief and the golden
rule was her creed. She was
not rich in this worlds goods
but she had many treasures
laid up where moth and rust
will not destroy, and many will
be the hands to welcome her
to her reward.

DR.. Chapman and assistants
have left Des Moines, where
they have been holding revival
meetings. The Des Moines
Register and Leader states that
nearly ten thousand people
were at the depot to bid them
farewell. The work done in
that city is not to be computed
at this early date, but the in
direct good done will be notice.
able for years. The meetings
at that city and at Omaha were
certainly of the right sort.

It is n pitiul thing to recount. but
the truth is that Adams had lost cour
age in his labors because OF the con
amt ridicule to which he was sub
iectpd by his fellow-members in con

when those who made fun OF him ar.
dead that he offered the resolution

Railroad President Owns It Is

..Weaare on the eve. Of a great change
in the handling Of our railroads. We
have learned that they are not private

lie has rights they are disposed to as

ure Of control than ever before con-
ceded. It is useless to deny there have
been any abuses. It is impossible to
allay the distrust and suspicion they
have excited. 1t is too late for prom
ises; the end is in sight. The man who
feels he has done his whole duty; the
man who is conceded to have done it;
they are both swept aside by public
which feels outraged, and is striking
out blindly in its rage and likely to
cause more damage in seeking a remedy
than has been caused by the disease

House Passes Bill and Vreeland S
Defense Of Meriwether
Is Applauded.
BY publishers' Press.

(. = f 4 ,
Washington, March e24.r-Withouta a
dissenting vote the house today passed
bill graduating the penalty for hazing
at the naval academy. The measure was
framed by the subcommittee Of the ma
val affairs committee, which adopted a
personal inquiry into the scandal at
Annapolis. The present law Furnishes
hazing with dismissal. The proposed
law puts punishment under the direc-
tion of the superintendent Of the tacade-
my, who may, if he sees fit, excuse or
punish with demerits or, with the ap-
proval Of the secretary of the navy in
case Of repeated offenses, with disnlis-
sal. He may also, for single act of
martial which may, in it's discretion, in
case Of conviction, infict demerits or
severer punishment on an offender.
'r Representative Vreeland Of New
York, who heads the Investigating com
mittee, upheld Midshipman Meriweth-
er for his fight with Midshipman
Branch, in which the latter was killed
He declared that the house should ap.
peal to the president to pardon Meri
wether and secure his release from the
sentence of one year confinement to the
grounds of the academy. He told Of the
Incidents that led up to the fight.
IT say that boy is not fit to carry
his country's commission who would not
have resented the insult given on that
occasion,' he exclaimed with feeling.
Hearty applause from republican
and democratic members greeted thi'
statement. There are 281 cadets at tn,

"U" Professor Is an
Ardent M. O. Man.

Professor Charles Zublin Of the uni
versity, who is very we'll known in
Minneapolis from his frequent univer-
sity extension lecture courses there,
has been expressing himself very
strongly in the municipal ownership
situation. He is quoted as saying at
Abraham Lincoln center, "Any man
who attempts to prevent municipal
ownership of traction in Chicago is
traitor.' He takes this ground be-
cause he says the people have expressed
themselves Enthusiastically and no one
has right to defeat their will. While
acknowledging that Mayor Dunno has
made mistakes he calls him "the best
mayor Chicago has had in twenty
years, by all odds," and says, "he is
unique in sticking to his pledge to the
people,"
The Minneapolis journal., 1906-03-25

~ HICAGO, March 24.-Two former
4 Minneapolis men were prominent
at the university convention this
week at the University Of Chicago.
Altho DR.. Harry P. Judson has acted
before in place of DR.. Harper, this is
his first convocation as acting president.
1t has been a long time since DR.. Jud-
son visited Minneapolis and his coming
visit in June, when he is to be COM
mencement orator, is a tribute to his
regard for President Northrop. He
said to me the other day, ''It is very
hard time for me to get away, but
could not refuse President Northrop
anything.'
AS the newest addition to the faculty
of the divinity school, Rev. Theodore G.
Soares delivered the convocation SER
mon Sunday. He is filling the chair
of homolectics in which he had dis
tinguished predecessor, DR.. Edward
Judson, who returned to New York
after spending few years here. Mr..
Soares' future is regarded as very
bright by all who have followed his
steady advancement and his present
position is one of much responsibility,
demanding both wide scholarship and
successful experience as a preacher.
Mr.. Soares took his doctorate degree at
the University of Chicago and as his
pastorates have been in Illinois, latterly
in Oak Park, he has kept in close touch
with the university.
John Paul Goode was a graduate of
the University of Minnesota at about
the same time as his colleague, Mr.
Soares. He has become member of
the faculty of the University Of Chicago
within the last three years and fills a
rather unusual chair, being assistant
professor of geography. He studied
his speciality at the University of Penn
normal school at Charleston, Ill, under
President L. G. Lord, formerly Of
Moorhead.
Miss Elizabeth Wallace is one Of the
senior members Of the faculty and fill
several responsible posts. She is as
sistant professor of French literature
dean of the law college Of literature fo
women, and head of Beecher hall
where she has presided since the hal
opened. There are about $50 women il
the college of literature and she has tn
general direction and. responsibility TO
their studies. The faculty with whicl
she works includes ten members am
they share with her the care and$over
sight of the students of the college
In Beecher hall Miss Wallace ahas
more personal oversight of and relation
to the forty girls who compose he
family. =
At Nancy Foster hall Miss France
Wheeler, niece Of Mrs. T. B. Walker
is matron, and she has with her Mis-
Clara Wheeler, a student at the uni
versity.
Last week the Maroon, the universit
paper, changed from an afternoon to
morning paper, presumably for the col
venience of the editors in managin
their work. 1t was part of the pla
to issue Sunday edition as is done b
the Illini and one Sunday edition VIZ
gotten out-this week-but it is to
the last.
