BIRTHS, MARRIAGES
AND DEATHS.

POMEROY- Esther Ann Pomeroy,
who was called to the Great Beyond"
on August 81, 1906, was native Of
Erie county, Pennsylvania, where she
lived with her parents until she was
ten years of age, when she with the
family emigrated to Lapash county,
Indiana. She was the youngest of a
family of nine children and she sur
vived them all. Her mother died soon
after coming to Indiana and Esther
assumed the burdens and duties Of
housekeeper for her father anu broth
ers, and while thus engaged found time
and made opportunities to acquire a
fair education,-better than was COM
nate was she in her requirements that
she became one of the pioneer school
teachers of that now great state. In
the year 1855 she married Harry Pom
eroy, then an enterprising, public-spir-
tied young man, and at once came d.
rectly to Mahaska county, Iowa, first
locating in Oskaloosa township, and
after two years removing to the Sam
uel Stevens claim, which he pur-
chased, in Madison township, where
they remained prosperous ana respect
ed citizens until the death of her hus-
band and son, Eddy. To them were
born two children, Eddy, in 1856, and
Ida in 1862. Eddy died in the year
1888, soon after the death Of his faith
er. The lonely mother and daughter
left the farm and came to Oskaloosa,
where they have since lived. The
death of her husband, so soon follow
ed by the sudden death Of Eddy, was
such severe shock that she went in
to a nervous condition and from that
to helplessness, and for ten years and
two months to a day she was unable
to walk or care for herself, and pa
tiently suffered no one knows how
much. She was most fortunate, how
ever, in that her daughter Ida and her
son-in-law, F. R. Schultz, gave her the
most marked and affectionate care
and constantly watched every mo-
ment that mother was made as COM
Portable as could possibly be. She
was devoted Christian and mem
Der of the Baptist church, joining at
Madison school house under J. F.
Child, and chung to her faith until the
end. Her devotion to husband and
family, her keen interest in all public
enterprises and her sterling business
and social integrity made her strong
in the community in the pioneer days
and commanded respect all through
her life. Her physical infirmities pre-
vented her attendance on divine wor-
ship, but she grew in grace and abid-
ing faith all the years of her misfor-
tune. She was borne to the silent
halls of death, ripe in years, being ~
years and months of age. A large

Ohio.

ease of the Standard Oil company of
Ohio, ON trial for conspiracy against
the trade, will he in the hands Of
the jury tomorrow, is confidently pre-
dicted tonight by the attorneys for
both sides The evidence is all in,
and arguments progressed for four
hours today
The prosecution told the jury that
there never had been an actual ces-
sation of the Standard Oil trust of
1852, as shown by evidence, although
the form of organization had been
changed, The defense made its main
point that when cveidence showed all
so-talled subsidiary companies to be
owned by the Standard Oil company
of New York, not one syllable had
been adduced to show that the de
fcndant company was so owned.

WOLVES LIKE THE SHEEP.
Kansas Prowlers Are Fond Of Nut

ting It

The wolves now found in Jackson
county, Kansas, are In size between the
coyote OF the western plains and the big
wolves found In the Ozark region In
general appearance they bear resem-
blance to the Scotch collie dog. They
live in unfrequented places, generally
in the timber or along the streams, and
a favorite abode Is in caves or under
overhanging lodges OF stone.
II is said that the wolf has a great
liking for mutton, especially young
lambs, which fall an easy prey to him,
and that he Is most frequently found
where sheep are numerous But he will
not turn his nose up at tender little pigs,
and when he cannot find other things
more to his liking he will not scruple TO
become common chicken thief But

clally human, 10 remarkable, and this Is
one OF the most aggravatlng things
about him. II a hunter succeeds In get
ting within gunshot OF him the chances
are ten to one that no damage will be in
flicted. His hide is so thick and tough
and Is covered with such heavy coat OF
fur that an ordinary discharge from a
shotgun has little or no effect with an
ease tina, is exasperatlne he simply
lopes out Of danger and is soon lost In

MURDERER
OF CHILDREN
HORRIBLE CONDITION CHARG

SIX DIE WITHIN MONTH
Were Starved 10 Dcath-So Asserts
Humane Agent Who Made an
Investigation of Home

Denver, Oct, l7-Rcsponslblllty
for the wholesale deaths Of infants
given into his care by the Denver
physicians and courts, is charged
against the organization known as
the Brotherhood of Light, which has
a "home" on ranch three and a
half miles from Arboles, Colo, by
officers of the state board of child
and animal protection, and Of he
state board of health.
OF thirteen children placed with
the Brotherhood by Denver residents
within year, only one is now hv-
ing, and six died within one month,
according to n report which Humane
Agent II. b. Kerr has made after a
personal investigation of the home.
In addition to these thirteen chill
dren, there arc seven others, one of
them feeble mlndcd, at the home,
who were brought from Eureka and
Las Angeles
The Brotherhood of Light was
founded in New York, by Franklyn
=. Whitc, and the home in this state
is conducted by c, c. Rohc, trus-
tee.
The members of the Brotherhood
are yegetarians and Agen Kerr
charges that the dead children have
been virtually starved to death.
The youngest infants, it iassserted
while they are given some milk, are
only fed three times a day.
The older children, the agent re
ports, are "fed strictly on vegetables
and are given no milk, butter, eggs
or anything containing animal mat
ter. They are kept together always
and must got permission from Mr..
Rose before absenting themselves
from the others, even for a few min
utes, They go about like little old
men, apparently silent and depress-
ed, moping about in little flock,
and always under the oversight of
.ome adult. They all sleep in tents
now, where in tho winter | did not
learn." "
The farm is wild, semi-arid re-
gion, inhabited only by Mexicans and
indians Agent Kerr was accompan-
led on his visit to the place by DR..
M. II. Sears. an officer Of the state
board Of health, who corroborates
all Of the allegations made by the
humane agent.
