goodly number OF friends attending
and doing what they could to assuage
the grief of the stricken wife and
mother Rev. Mr.. Grace preached a
touching sermon and choir rem
dered several appropriate songs.
There were floral offerings. and the
wife can rest assured that many Du-
range hearts go out TO her in the
great sorrow that has befallen her.
At l O'Clock In the afternoon the
funeral Of Raymond Anheier took
place at the First NJ. f. church. the
procession starting from the resi-
dence and escorting the remains to
the church. where Rev. Mr.. Grace
preached feeling sermon. There
was great profusion of flowers, cat
and in handsome designs, offerings
of friends and orders. to which the
young man belonged. The choir sang

GOODMAN FAILED TO QUALIFY.

The county commissioners this
afternoon declared the Office Of
county treasurer vacant. II seems
that under the constitution the treas.
irer takes office the first of January
and all others the first Tuesday after
the first Monday. When the consti-
tutional amendment was passed pro
viding for the biennial elections
II extended the treasurers term for
the election In question, but not re-
pealing the first constitutional pro
vision, after the biennial provision
had been carried out. the term of
office starts again on the first day Of
the year. When Mr.. Goodman pre-
sented his bond this afternoon he
was simply non-plussed, the commits
sioners stating they could not accept
1t as he would be taking the Office IL
legally and the bond would be worth
less, as he had not qualified in time.
and the Office was thereupon declar-
ed vacant. The commissioners will
not fill the vacancy till tomorrow.
While II is in their power 10 appoint
any one they choose, at the same
time The Herald takes It for granted
they will carry out the will OF the
voters and select Mr.. Goodman. as
he is entitled to the place.
