Samuel Gulick, of South Danville,
whose death occurred Friday morning
was consigned TO the grave in Fairview
cemetery Sunday afternoon. The
funeral was one of the largest that has
taken place in this section in many
years, the deceased having a very wide
relationship and who through his ac-
tive career formed acquaintance over
a very wide section.
The deceased was a member of st.
Peters NJ. E. church, of Riverside, at
the time of his death being one of the
Trustees. He had been connected with
the church for many years.
The pail bearers were chosen from
among the board of Trustees of St.
Peters and were as follows: W. r.
Clark, T. W. Clayton, Joseph L. Shan
non, H. NJ Yocum. John Keim and
John McCloughan. The services were
conducted by the Rev. f. I. Swartz,
pastor of st. Peters NJ. +. church, who
spoke very beautifully on the life =
the deceased. The speaker occupied a
place in the hallway of the home and
his remarks were plainly heard not
only by all those within the house, but
also by the much larger crowd that
stood upon the lawn outside. The
choir of st. Peters NJ. f. church rem
dered two beautiful selections.
The flowers, indeed, were a striking
feature of the obsequies-a profusion
of rich blooms which were banked
about the body, which reposed on
beautiful couch casket The flowers
comprised the usual tribute from the
Elks and one from the Trustees of St.
Peters NJ. +. church. The rest came
from individual friends
Among those from out of town who
attended the funeral were the follow
ing Mr. and Mrs. Elias Thurston and
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Thurston, of Re
nova Mr.. and Mrs. William Thurston,
Sr. Mr. and Mrs. William Thurston,
Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Silas Thurston, Miss
Daisy Thurston, and Miss Elizabeth
Thurston, of Sunbury; Mr. and Mrs.
Sterling Seesholtz, of Berwick; Mrs.
Emma Michael and William Wine
gartner, of Muncy.

DEATH OF
SAMUEL GULlCK

Samuel Gulick, of South Danville,
died Friday morning at 30 o clock
from the effects of paralytic stroke
sustained Thursday afternoon, while
experimenting the loading of sand at
Gulick's siding below Riverside.
Mr.. Gulick' 5 death came as a severe
shock to his family and friends as he
had been in apparent good health. On
Thursday afternoon the men with Mr..
Gulick said that he was in especially
good spirits, laughing and joking with
them, and utterly oblivious to the i'm
pending danger After Mr.. Gulick
was stricken he-never fully regained
consciousness.
Mr.. Gulick was II years of age, and
is survived besides his widow by six
children. all of whom reside in South
Danville; NJ. +. Gulick, Margaret
Mrs. Jesse Shannon W. W. Gulick,
Jesse L. Samuel and Robert A. Gulick.
Mrs. Amanda J. Sidler, of this city, is
a sister The deceased was a member
of st. Paul's NJ. f. church.
Mr. Gulick was a descendant of one
of the pioneer families of this section.
His great grandfather Miner Gulick
was contemporary of Daniel Mont
gomery. His grandfather, John Gulick,
owned large tracts of land east of Dan
vile. The father of the deceased,
Samuel Gulick, by inheritance came
into possession of what is now known
as Gulick's s Addition and it was he-e
that Mr. Gulick was born. In early
life he removed to the south side of
the river occupying farm several
miles below Riverside. In 1856 he
came to South Danville where he has
since resided.

Interesting Comparison

When the records of the weather fol
January 1905, are compared with sim
liar records for January, 1906, wide
difference is noticeable, more extend
ed perhaps, than the layman would
casually believe.
For instance during January last
year, the total amount of snow fall
was 1915 inches. This year it has been
one and a half inches. The rainfall
including the melted snow, was f. 80
inches. This year it has been l.. 81
inches. Last year the mercury reach
ed point of two degrees below zero
ON the twenty ninth of the month. 1t
was one degree above on the twenty
sixth, four above on the ninth and six
above on the fourth of the month
During the last ten days of the month
last year the average maximum tenn
perature was about 20 degrees, this year
it has been nearly 80 degrees. The
minimum temperature last year, dur
ing the last ten days, averaged about
eight or ten degrees above zero, while
this year it has averaged % degrees.

THE OLDEST OF ALL.

MRS. &. ;. Books, West Mahoning
street, has probably the most interest
ing and unique productions of the soil
that ever grew out of season and this
is remarking a great deal for the pres
ent phenomenal winter when so many
unreasonable growths of all kinds are
reported daily.
Among the flowers which Mrs Books
has in her house is a vine which re-
quires a support About the holidays
Mrs. Books cut a small limb from a
lilac bush in the yard and inserted one
end in the flower pot by the side of
the vine and at once begun to train
the latter to wind up the small limb.
The vine grew rapidly, but that is not
all il was soon observed that the
branch of lilac had taken root and was
full of buds. Mrs Books was quite
proud last Saturday when the buds
on her diminutive lilac bush began to
burst into leaves, but since that time
she has found herself in possession of
a much greater curiosity, for not only
did the supposedly dead limb burst in
10 leaves but on the end of it a bunch
Of lilacs burst into bloom, fairly well
developed, and carrying with it all
the sweet odor of the summer time.

Foot Ball and Basket BAN.

The Canton and Hawarden high
school foot ball teams played a nice
clean game on Thanksgiving day, and
the Canton and Hawarden basket
ballers also played a very interesting
game at the conclusion OF the foot
ball contest. The football boys were
evenly matched as they struggled
manfully for the great part of an hour
TO get a touch down or a goal kick
but both failed.
Tom Yates of the Hawarden team
got his shoulder blade broken near
the close Of the second half and was
taken to DR.. Corrigan's Office.
The playing of Horace Ringheim,
Claude Coons and Willard Kennedy
was especially fine and the entire
team played well.
The basket ball game proved very
attractive and the big crowd enjoyed
it. The Hawarden young ladies, it
may be stated, had little practice be-
fore coming to Canton and they were
no match for Canton's swift team.
The playing of Edna Lee. Marie
Juel and Edith Thompson was re-
markedly good, Anna Lunder and
Ethel Minor. as guards, did splendid
work and Canton is proud of them.
Score 26 to 3 in favor of Canton.

EVERYTHING Denied.

The Sioux Falls Press takes a fall
out of Senator Ki~ttredge's farewell
message, and Editor Bowen handles
the subject In his usual u~nvarnished
language. He says: I'm his farewell
address to the Argus Leader, Senator
Kittredge denies all charges OF which
lac has been convicted by a jury OF
the voters of South Dakota. Either
the jury was wrong or the senator is
wrong.
While he was on trial, he made no
plea Of not guilty. but fought his way
down to the defeats of June and No
yember.
Now that a final verdict has been
rendered in favor of all the reforms
opposed by his combination of politi-
clans, he being the dictator, he de-
clares that be has been greatly mis-
represented in the prevalent suppose
tion that he opposed the victorious
issues.
1t would have been a supurb exhibit
tion of political sagacity had he put
forth the same declaration at the
time the opposing faction took pos
session of the June convention.
Had he then notified his party that
he was in sympathy with the issues
that had prevailed and that he yield
ed allegiance TO the demands of the
majority voice of the convention, he
would have placed himself in harmon
nious relation to the party and would
have been accepted as n of the pro-
moters of its success.
But in spite of his implied denial,
the opinion has prevailed that he was
opposed to the demands of the plat
form of the party and TO the success
of the faction that won the party vic
tory at the polls.
He participated in none of the work
of the campaign, holding himself aloof
from the party organization and re-
fusing the counsel and influence that
is expected from one whom the party
had honored to the limit of its abil-
ity.
The organization went through the
cam paign under the belief that it was
~contending against his influence, to-
gether with the influence of the dem
~ocratic party, although there was nc
suspicion Of an alliance between the
two.
The only activity displayed by Mr..
Kittredge during the campaign was
centered in M~innehaha county and
here it was arrayed against the fac
ton of the republican party that had
gained control of the state at large.
Mr.. K%ittredge will have to excuse
the members of what was the insur-
gent faction of the republican party
If they still refuse to believe that he
was loyal to the principles espoused
by them and carried to a successful
issue By their unaided effor- even
though he now declares that he has
in no way opposed them.
His during the campaign
speaks more loudly than his profess
sions now that the conflict is at an
end.

Travelling Grocery Fakes.

A couple of peddlers, it is reported,
are engaged in travelling over this
county taking orders for groceries and
supplying those who buy with such
stuff as may be sent them. a ped
dler's order generally includes a lot OF
stuff that the buyer has to take 70
al the order which is of little use 10
him and often OF no practical value
TO anybody. Most peddlerS put in
enough pepper and other like stun to
do a family a year or two, and by his
means fool the buyer and gloss over
an order that costs farmers from 10
to % per cent more than his average
order would cost him at the home
store.
We once saw a car load of grocery
orders at Parker and it was the
dirtiest looking stuff we had ever seen
In the old territory when bacon and
mud were no strangers. One order
contained ) pounds of pepper, and the
stuff might have gone through a pep
per mill.
Men who are u peddllng now are
selling old adulterated stuff because
the pure food law goes into effect
January first, and the big stocks on
hand in jobbing houses must be dis
posed of at any price.
Home merchants should meet this
taking trade by publishing their groc-
cry prices with a guarantee for quail
ity. So long as home merchants
keep still and indicate by their ST.
Ience that they don't care about groc-
cry trade so long will these out of the
town ducks waddie around and fool
people.
The newspapers are powerless TO
head off these fakes 50 long as the
home merchants say nothing.

President Roosevelt's message is
before congress, and he gives the ma
tion's lawmakers plenty Of good adj
wise. He covers the field of labor ex-
haustively, and reviews the condi-
tions existing between capital and
labor, including women and children
and employers liability.
On the question of withdrawing all
coal lands from settlement he says:
1T Is not wise that the nation
should alternate its remaining coal
lands. | have temporarily withdrawn
from settlement all the lands which
the geological survey has indicated as
containing, or in all probability con-
taining coal. The question, however,
can be properly settled only by legis-
laton which, i'm my judgement.
should provide for the withdrawal of
these lands from sale or from entry,
save in certain especial circum-
remain in the United States, which
should not, however, attempt to
work them, but permit them to be
worked by private individuals under
a royalty system, the government
keeping such control as to permit it
to see that no excessive price was
charged customers
He takes advanced ground in favor
Of placing greater power in the hands
Of the national government for the
control of corporations under in
ter-state commerce, and favors a
graduated inheritance and income
tax, and logically proves the justice
of such legislation in a concise discus
sion on the subject.
Marriage and divorce, he believes,
should be regulated by national laws,
because the different state laws per-
nit scandals and abuses, and such
laws as might be passed by congress
would wipe out polygamy forever.
He favors a shipping bill and asks
that citizenship be granted to the
people of Porto Rico, and states that
the provisional government in Cuba
will end with the establishment of a
peaceful and orderly hene gevern-
ment
The message is just such a docu-
ment as one would expect from a man
who believes in a square deal, from a
man who not only believes in justice
but wants to see justice done TO
rich and poor alike. He tells CON
greSS In plain language what he
thinks would benefit the country and
he will undoubtedly help congress to
solve the prohlsms so lncidly discus
Sed for its benefit.
