Of Professor Ward, who was killed
in Buffalo, reached Rochester, N. Y,
and took charge of her husbands
body. Some years ago Professor
Ward brought a huge glacial quartz
boulder studded with jasper pebbles
from the northern shores of Lake SUI
perior, having conceived the feeling
that he would like his ashes to lie
beneath so lasting and beautiful mon
ument. It's rarity is great, for the
stones are imbedded with glacier
flows that cleft the Laurentian range
OF Canada and the beauty of the mass
of glistening quartz is heightened by
the opaque dull reds and yellows of
the jasper pebbles. In accordance
with his wishes the ashes of Profes-
sor Ward will rest under this glacial
boulder in Mount Hope cemetery at

moulding of character and talent, one
of the most original and far-reaching
imaginations which Europe has seen
for a century was cooped up here
among ointment boxes, pills, and plas-
tiers. Grimstad is small, isolated,
melancholy place, connected with
nothing at all, visitable only by
steamer. Featureless hills surround
it. and it looks out into the east wind,
over a dark bay, dotted with naked
rocks. No industry, no objects OF
interest in the vicinity, perfect uni
formity of little red houses where
nobody seems to be doing anything;
in Ibsen's time there are said to have
been about three hundred of these
apathetic inhabitants. Here, then
for six interminable years, one OF the
acutest brains in Europe had to inter
est itself in braying ipecacuana and
mixing black draughts behind an
apothecary's counter-Edmund Gosse

Mr.. Adams was engaged in farm in
stitute work for three years, he was
secretary of tn State Horticultural So
ciety two years, president of the State
Dairymen's association for three years
and was a member of the state board
OF agriculture for eight years. 1t
was largely due to his efforts that
the dairy and food laws which were
passed by the legislature of 1895, and
which forbid the manufacture and
sale Of filed cheese in Wisconsin,
and which compel the sale of oleo-
margarine under its proper name,
were drafted and adopted. He also
assisted in the drafting of
the filled cheese bill passed
by congress several years ago
and was one Of the committee of the
National Dairy union which went to
work in behalf of that benefcent
measure. Mr.. Adams did telling
work on the stump in every campaign
local, state and national, since 1888.
He was an influential factor in many
state, congressional and county con-
ventions, and in 1888 was honored by
his party by being elected delegate
at-large to the national convention.
He was a man of wide acquaintance
and great popularity, especially
among the farming communities. He
was serving his second term in con-
gress.
Mr.. Adams leaves a wife and four
children.

ed tn at here are 900, 900 separate
species of insects in this state
but the COURIER hopes he is not
afflicted with all of them.
He ays that many Of these
insects, Of course, are little
known and are of no economic
consequ ence, as far as man is
concerned. About 5, 500 species
are worth taking account of. Of
this n umber 5000 are hurtful,
500 of the number being decid.
edly SO, while $500 of the total
number are beneficial, either
directly or Indirectly, generally
indirectly by the destruction of

KEYTESVLLE MISSOURI, FRIDAY NOVEMBER p, 1906.
A Contest for Collector.

A Contest for Collector.
Cecil Wayland of Mendon, who
was elected county collector of
Charlton county November 6,
1906, has been advised by friends
that he is entitled to hold the
office, Notwithstanding that town
ship organization carried by an
overwhelming majority at the
same time Mr.. Wayland was
elected collector. 1t was gener.
ally understood that the adoption
of township organization did
away with the Office of county
collector, with the exception of
the term which is now be.
ing filled E. w. Herring of Key.
tesville by appointment of Gov.
j. w. Folk.
Appointments of assessor and
collector in this county were
made necessary through a de.
cision handed down by the su-
preme court last spring declar-
ing that township organization
as previously adopted in this
and several other counties of the
state was unconstitutional. This
decision by the supreme court
made the appointments of a
county assessor and collector
necessary in counties affected in
order that the assessments might
be legally made for 1905
and the taxes collected, based on
the 1905 assessment, for the year
1906
The editor of the CoUIER is no
lawyer and cannot say what Mr..
| Wayland's rights now are in the
premises, but Mr.. Wayland says
all that he wants is what is COM
ing to him under the law. He
contends tnat the constitution of
1.-THE state provides that where an
election Office is filled by ap.
pointment that the appointee can
only hold Office until his success.
! or is duly elected and qualified.
1t was on these grounds that
Mr.. Wayland took the oath of
Office and filed his bond. thus
fully qualifying before the ooun.
ty court last Friday, and the Ger.
tificate of his election, with that
of other county officers elect ed
Nov. 6, 1905, has been forwarded
by County Clerk H. H. Miller to
the secretary of state, and it now
remains to be seen whether or not
Gov. Folk will issue Mr.. Way
land q commission.
On the other hand, Mr.. Her.
ring says that he is now in the
midst of the discharge of the du.
ties of the Office of collector, and
has not fully accomplished the
purpose of the official position
to which Gov. Folk appointed
him.
For this reason and the fur
ther fact that Mr.. Wayland
would not have been entitled to
hold the Office of county collec.
tor before the 10th of next March,
even had Charlton county never
been under township organiza.
ton nor re. adopted it.
Therefore, Mr.. Herring will
contest Mr.. Wayland's right to
the Office.
