The Champion Pedestrian.

Mark Au, the champion pedestrian of
the world, has just finished a 20, 0 -mile
walk, says the New York Tribune. He
started IN August g.. 1900, to walk the
10000 miles in seven years and to earn
his living on the way. He did 30, with
nearly six months to spare. He travelled
through Spain, Portugal, Germany, Hol-
land, Belgium, Switzerland and twice
through France. He speaks only Eng
lish. He had plenty of adventures. He
was five times lost in snow drifts, robbed,
shot at, stabbed and stoned. The object
of the long tramp was to prove that a
workman is not used up at the age OF
forty.fiye.

sry.n Says Railroad. Are No. Har..

A Representative of the Associated
Press asked William Jenpings Bryan
recently what effect the Hartman
and other Investigations would have
on the agitation in favor of govern
ment ownership or management of
railroads. He replied
"The most interesting phase of the
situation just now is the refusal of
the people to lend money freely to
the railroads. The railroad mana
gers say that this is due to hostile
legislation, but it is a mistake. There
has been no hostile Legislation of
sufficient severity to impair the real
value of railroad srcurilie. where the
railroads have been. honestly con.
Quoted uron an honest capitalization.
If the investing public is alarmed it
is because the railroad managers, in
q vain effort To terrorize the Legisla-
lures, have carried matters. too far.
If any other answer liz needed for
the hesitaacy on the part of the in.
vestors the Investigations furnish il,
for the inquiries have shown to what
extent railroad stocks have been
watered. But what is the alterna-
tive ? Must the government refuse.
to investigate rotten management for
fear mismanaged railroads no longer
will be able to fool the public into
buying inflated securities? Tine
sooner the railroads are put on an
honest basis the more secure will the
investigating public feel"

South Union vicinity mourns deep
ly for one Of her dearest and mos,
prominent citizens--Mrs. Mary e,
Wiley, wife of Thomas Wiley, who
died at her home Sunday evening,
March 10th, 1907, at 8 o'clock. She
had been unwell for some time, and
her family and friends considered het
condition as serious. Like her life,
her death was quiet and peaceful,
gently falling asleep OF the bosom of
the Saviour, whom she loved and
delighted to serve.
Mrs. Wyley was a Miss Holley be-
fore her marriage. Born October,
1841, and reared near Westminster.
Married Thomas Wiley January 10,
1867. Died March 10, 1907. Lived
with her choice Az years and 2
months.
Mrs. Wiley has lived in our midst
for quite a while and we had learned
to love her with undying love. She
leaves a true, kind and tender hus.

minister, Marshall and Thomas, Jr.,
of South Union. She had two
daughters who predeceased her TO

ton. She also leaves a host of
friends whose hearts 60 out to the
bereaved in deepest sympathy. She
had long been a devoted member of
the Methodist church. Her member
ship was at Center, and her place
there as we'll as in the community
will be hard to fill. A good woman,
a noble citizen, a fond wife, loving
mother, kind sister, true friend and
Christian lady is gone from among
US but she is not dead she will
ever live in our hearts and memories
for her kind acts, tender deeds and
loving kindness.
How shall 1 know thee in the sphere
which keeps
The disembodied spirits of the dead,
When all of thee that time could wither
sleeps
And perishes among the dust we tread?
For I shall feel the sting of ceaseless
pain,
If there I meet thy gentle presence not,
Nor hear the voice I love, nor read again
In thy serenest eyes the tender thought.
Will not thy own meek heart demand me
therep
That heart whose fondest throbs to me
were given;
My name on earth vas evei in thy prayer,
Shall it be henished from thy tongue in
heaven?
A happier lot than mine and larger light
Await thee there; for thou hast bowed
thy will
In cheerful homage to the rule of right,
And lowest all, and renderest good for
i'll.
Dear children, I know that thou will be
grieved
To see me taken from thy love,
Will seek my grave at Sabbath eve,
And weep and scatter flowers above.
When we descend to dust again,
Where will the final dwelling be
OF thought and all its memories then
My love for thee and thine for me.
Miss Rubie Crawford deserves the
praise of the community. She stayed
with her grandma until the last and
attended to her wants and needs.
Mr. Wiley, Mrs. Wiley's husband,
was most always at her bedside ready
to help his wife and speak words of
encouragement. Il. A. Smith.

HAYTIAN TREASURE GONE
Gunboat, Sunk to Escape German
Warship. Had Been Looted.

Two divers who were hired by the Haytian gov

Bay and look for the $4,000 in gold known to
have been the gunboat Cret La Perriot when
she was sunk by her captain five years ago. re-

boat its guns and ammunition. and discovered
this safe containing the gold had been looted
long before they left New York.
According to Grant, the Cret La Perriot, during
one of tie Haytian revolutions, captured German
merchantmen, which her commander believed was
smuggling to the revolutionists and relieved

cases of ammunition When released. the German
steamer made for the nearest port and Informed
