DEATH HAS COME TO
MRS. c.. w. WALTERS
Funeral From Methodist Church
Monday.

AS the shades of night gathered on
Sunday the gentle spirit Of Mrs. Geo.
w. Walters, freed from it's tenement
of clay, winged its flight to brighter
and fairer realm. The end came very
peacefully and painlessly, following
upon brief illness.
The passing away of this pure and
beloved woman, in the prime of
happy life, was a source of sorrow
to many friends here.
Mrs. Walters had been unwell for
some time and on Saturday last I'M
derwent a severe operation at the
hospital, performed with the 8hope of
prolonging life. She rallied for
time, but few hours thereafter
death came to her.
A happy home is made desolate,,
while a stricken husband and five lit
tie ones, with parents, brother and
sisters, mourn her loss.
Mrs Walters was formerly Miss
Pearl Page, eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J. L. Page. Her married
life was an ideally happy one. She
and her husband had grown up toge-
Their; together they attended school,
thence together to the altar.
No happier home than theirs was
to be found 1t is darkened now, and
only sorrow dwells therein.
Mrs. Walters was consistent mem
Der of the First Methodist church
for many years, and the funeral ser
vices were conducted from that san
tuary yesterday afternoon by the pas
tor, Rev. J. P. Wardlaw, many sor-
rowing friends attending.
Beautiful floral designs, emblema-
tic of the life that had gone out here
to shine resplendent in another
sphere, covered the casket as it was
borne to its last resting place.

Forty Head Of Horses

Mr.. w. G. Turpin has spent four
weeks selecting this lot of horses,
Every horse was bought in the coun-

They are bred and boke right to the
saddle and harness.
We guarantee them all sound and
young. No old worn out horses that
have been pastured and fed up for
sale at auction. We expect to handle
nothing but first-class stock. Will
sell them as cheap as this class of
stock can be sold. We have some
handsome ponies, and the finest lot
of horses that we have ever had.

Six Convictions in City Court
Monday.

Five black jailbirds roasted upon
the bar of justice in the City Court
yesterday, and the whole covey were
corralled for the changing unless
the fines imposed are produced.
1t was a good day for Solicitor
Childers, as not an evil doer tried got
through his net.
Homer Harvey, on plea of guilty
to gaming, was touched for $45 or
eight months at road building.
George Williams, on the charge of
larceny from the house was given
straight shot of ten months cut
where the katydids sing softly in the
cleaning.
Bill Williams did just like George,
and got the same changing dose.
Seabcrn Fort will see the fortress
for twenty months unless the sum of
$3.50 is brought to the light from the
inner folds of his jeans.
For gaming Judge Crisp soaked
Seaborn for eight months or a fine
of $50, while the little pistol episode
came higher. The pistol dose was
a year in the gang or 800 fine.
Enoch Lewis, who toiled not, was
given a straight shot of one year upon
the charge of vagrancy.

HEALTHY PLANTS
Require the Most Careful Attention as
Well as Good Soil.

Did you ever see a rosebush which,
despite the most beneficent environment
of soil-of sunshine-and of atmosphere,
seemed never to achieve a healthy
growth.
A ton of manure will not help a plant
that has a canker eating out it's heart.
You must destroy the cause before you
can remove the effect.
You cannot cure Dandruff and Bald
ness by rubbing on hair lotions, and
rubbing in vaseline, etc.
You must look to the cause of the
trouble-its a germ at the roots of
your hair which causes it to fall out.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys the germ,
and healthy hair is the sure result

WHAT CAN THEY DOT

Tt is admitted" remarks The Port land oregonian, "and might as well have been conceded in advance, that the Peace Conference at The Hague can do nothing for limitation of arma- ments." If that is fact it is diff cult to see what real good can be &C., complished by the meeting. Gentle men may cry Peace, Peace, but there is no peace" or something like that, fits the Conference if it is to do noth- ing but talk. But what can they do, as a matter of fact, unless all the great powers of earth unite on a general plan of disarmament? If such an agree ment should be reached and agreed to is it practicable or possible to bind those who are not represented? Is 1t even possible to make sure that those who agree to a plan will live up 10 it?
 There is one serious bar in the way to limitation of armaments. There is yet very considerable portion of earth that has not been colonized. It is one of the great ambitions of the great nations to reach ou, and plant colonies in unoccupied regions. They do this partly to find room for increasing pop lation and partly because of an ann bilious desire to outgrow the others Ca1n hue y1a ct hn tected and to protect and care for them requires a navy strong enough and powerful enough to prevent the interference of others. Up to a com paratively recent period the United States never evinced any desire or dis position to absorb distant islands or countries but of late we have caught the fever of colonization and are pick ing up dependencies in all directions. While we hold these adopted children we are in honor bound to support and defend them, and for that we, also, must have a competent navy.
 Thus it is that ambition, envy and self interest unite in all the powers to work against any cutting down of ar mics or nayies, and for these reasons we can see little room to hope that the Conference can agree on anything that is likely to be of lasting benefit to humanity. Perhaps, after all. the best guarantee of peace lies in the need of each nation keeping a watch on all the others. The United States government Is in manner isolated and has little to fear from the outside. but in Europe the great powers are so hud- dled and joined that each may be con- sldered always vulnerable at some point, and this flea. or apprehension may prevent one from creating dis turbance
 For centuries" The oregonian goes on to say, "a dream of peace by agree ment among nations to keep 1t, has been entertained by sentimental writ CTS of all countries. It runs back, in deed to Isaiah, and to the gentle and clairvoyant Virgil. Montesquieu pro-

A STRANGE CLAIM.

We get so many surprises from the men of science and learning that we should never feel surprised at having new one handed out to us. The mis- chief about 1t is that they know 50 much more about such things than we do that we never know if 1t Is safe to hit back, or to deny anything that is said by them. It is never prudent propositions unless you are thoroughly informed, because he is apt to be loaded and fully able to do you up.
 About the hardest jolt of this nature that we have received lately comes from Sir William Preece, a noted Eng fish scientist and student, who afirms that through his telephone he heard the sound of a recent storm on the sunl Isn't that a corker? The best from the earth at nfnety-three mill lion miles. and if that isn't correct it is near enough for all practical pur- poses. How then can we believe that it is possible to hear a sound at that immense distance, evc- though that noise may have been a very loud one? We know that one attempted expla- nation, which is also an explanation of wireless telegraphy, Is that the parfb ic ryit tsxuo of energy" as the term is, through or by which messages are transmitted.
 That, for want of better explanation, may explain how wireless messages are sent. but are we to believe that these waves are so enormous and far-reach- ing that they extend to the sun and fetch us sounds frsm thence? This looks like expecting entirely too much. but as we are not prepared to dispute it 1t leaves us without leg to stand on. We can't afford to place Sir Will liam in the Ananias class without be- ing sure of our ground.
 But there is another feature of this claim that calls for more talk. The planet Mars is not quite half as far from us as the sun is and it seems that we should hear something from that part of the universe; provided. of course. there's any racket going on there. We have of late years been loaded down with assertions opinions and more or less learned dissertations about that planet being inhabited by a strenuous race, and If that is true they ought to make noise at some stage of the game. Probably they have no Christmas or Fourth of July to eel ebrate with fireworks and the like, but If they are such a people as some dreamers serepresent them to be they must have some kind of doings that would stir the atmosphere and start the sound waves into action. Sir Will liam should point his phone in that direction and put us wise to the Mai tians and their noises. If he is able to hear what is going on in the sun he should get record from a world less than half as far off. For that mat ter, we need to be shown before ad- hitting that he heard a solar thunder storm

Destruction of Lottery Literature.

Mobile Register.
 In the destruction of plates. records and printed matter of the Honduras Lottery Company. discovered by secret service officers In Wilmington, Del, 1t Is possible that tho government has been guilty of unIntended vandalism. The order condemninE the material to the fire and hammer has been literally carried out Among the articles found in the lottery establishment were sev- cral books, one Of which was both unique and valuable. It contained samples of almost every lottery ticket In the world, some dating back to the niddle of the last century. Other books contained tickets and notes con- corning the Alabama State lottery for the benefit of the Masonic Home. the early history of the Louisiana State lottery, the Missouri and Kentucky State lotteries, all dating back in the last century and now forgotten. It was suggested that the old tickets and documents be given to the National Historical Society, but the government order was to destroy everything" and the old books which would have been valuable to the historian were commit ted to the flames along with all mate rial belonging to the Honduras lottery The collection destroyed in Wilmington is said to have been the most complete catherine of lottery data and materials In the United states
