OBITUARY

Mr.. Andrew Schneider died at his
home on Bellevue street, Marion,
I, nio, TuesdNy, February s, 1907,
'aged fifty-eight years, one month
and thirteen days. He was born in
Newburg New York, where he spent
his childhood days, moving to this
vicinity when young man. He was
united in marriage to Miss Lucy
Hall of Marysville, Ohio, on May
10, 1878. Three sons were born to
the union. who with the loving wife
and mother survive. They are
Ezra, Fay and Rae living at home.
For twenty years the deceased was
employed in lne wheel department

most trustworthy employees. His
friends were many and he fought
the battle of life well. never shirk-
ing duty.
Eight brothers live to mourn the

building with city offices above and
the fire department below has also
been suggested, but this is not fa-
vored by many for the reason that q
combination. of this kind, always
leaves the stable odor clinging to
the building.
Personally, DR.. Setter would be
in favor of purchasing the Evans
property, just north of the present
city property, vacating the alley be-
tween and then the city would have
an admirable site for a new build
ing.
At any rate, the members Of coun-
ell would like to have candid and
honest expressions of vpinion during
the next few months, In order that
they can get the real sentiment of
the majority Of property owners. 1t
doesn't much matter to them, just
what plans are finally adopted, So
the city has buildiSg, in keeping
with It's present importance, and
above all, the councimcn desire to
satisfy the people.

Here is one proposition at least
on which the city council is willing
to take the public into its confid-
ence. At least that is what Dr.. j.
G. Setter says. And the Doctor
says he usually knows what he's
talking about.
Yes, what the council wants is an
expression of public opinion on the
proposition OF erecting a new city
hall, or new fire engine house.
A number of plans have been general
ed in the minos Of the various coun-
cilmen and what they want to get
at Is just about what the public
wants.
1t has been suggested and the
Doctor is a firm advocate of build
ing a new engine house, moving the
city market into the present house
and then if the city 50 desires, the
space now occupied by the market
can be utilized for the purpose OF
putting up city building.

mined to develop II into Lin
t,oln National Park that should
stand forever as shrine Of patriot
ism and peace, fitting memorial to
the great citizen who was born
there.
The farm is ideal for such a pur-
pose Consisting OF one hundred
and ten acres in the rolling blue
grass region Of Larue County,
Kentucky. It Is crossed by pic
Ituresque stream, has many shady
groves, and possesses the famous
rock spring near which IL Is pro-
posed that the Lincoln statue shall
be erected. But y short distance
away. along the turnpike, stands
the old mill where Lincoln used
to go with his father, the boy
seated astride u sack of corn on the
broad back Of the old mare. When
the park Is developed it is said that
the Louisville 4 Nashville Railroad
will establish branch terminal
near the entrance.
The plan of the Lincoln Farm
association is very simple. and
seems to have been inspired by a
profound belief in the individual
patriotism of American men and
women. Instead of appealing to a
wealthy few to carry out the work
the Association has given It's cause
TO the whole people, asking every
man, woman and child in whose
heart is the love of country and
reverence for the memory Of Lin
coin" to become member. Eacn
member Is called upon to contribute
whatever amount he or she wishes
provided 1t IS not less than twen
ty-fve cents or more than twenty
five dollars, and to every member
is issued a large. handsomely en-
