the most notable men of that time.
1t was signed in 1916. During the
war all the states except Rhode
Island and Connecticut adopted
the new constitution. In the first
burst of enthusiasm but few ques-
toned the authority of congress.
Later great dissensions arose and a
necessity was felt for a national
constitution fixing the power of
government. In November 1877
congress submitted to the states for
their ratification the Articles of
Confederation. They were to be-
come binding when procured by
the unanimous vote of thirteen
states. They went into operation
in 1881. The Annapolis Trade
convention met in 1856 but a ma
Jority of the colonies not being
represented, they deferred action
and proposed that another conven-
tion meet. Then congress asked
that another convention meet in
1857 for the sole purpose of revis-
ing the Articles of Confederation.
Accor 'ingly there met at Phila-
delphia body CT delegates. All
states except Rhode Island we're
represented. George Washington
was president, William Jackson
secretary and Edmund Randolph
made the opening address, in which
he suggested that a national gov
eminent ought to be formed, con-
sisting of an executive, legisla tive
and judicial department. They
had not proceeded far when
they saw that an attempt to revise
the Articles was impossible, so
they were thrown aside and the
convention proceeded to form an
entirely new constitution. The
session of the convention occupied
time of nearly four months and
was behind closed doors. When
they adjourned they submitted it
to Congress, which in turn submit
ted it to the state legistatrrns and
the legislatures submitted it TO the
people of the several states for
ratification. For various reasons
some of the strongest men of the
colonies opposed its adoption, such
as Adams and Patrick Henry, but
such men as Washington, Franklin
and Hamilton prevailed. Delaware
was the first to ratify and New
Hampshire the ninth making the
adoption unanimous. Accordingly
the constitution went into effect at
the Inauguration of Washington.
The constitution is a model O
terseness, unity, and clearness, the
final draft having been made by
Governor Morris.

An infuriated cow attacked and
came near killing the 3-year-old
boy of Mrs. Haskins at v. S. Cooks
farm a mile east of this city last
Wednesday. Mrs. Haskins heard
the screams of the child and res
cued it but not until an arm was
broken and deep incision was
made in the flesh of one leg. The
brute made violent rush at the
little boy and knocked it into a
barb wire fence. Dr.Coleman was
called to set the arm and sew up
the wound. The boy had followed
his mother to the corral when she
went INTO the barn to get some
feed and the cow attacked the child
while Mrs. Haskins was in the
barn. This is the third time this
COW has made war on children. 1t

family that this was the third at
tempt that the young husband had
made to end his life.
Several days ago Barnard de-
stroyed all his personal papers and
letters. Among them he inadvert-
emily placed a certificate of men,
bership in a telegraphers' union.
This fact he seemed to greatly de-
plore.
After life had been declared to
be extinct the body of Barnard was
taken to the undertaking rooms of
Kirker & Marsh, where it was pre-
pared for interment.
On the right arm of the corpse
was tasooed emblem. Under it
were the letters w. A. B. The
emblem consisted of two clasped
hands, an anchor and a torch.
Barnard informed his wife that
at one time he was soldier in the
United States army, he having en-
listed for FIVE years, but served only
two years.
There is possibility that w. A..
Barnard was the man who enlisted
at the local recruiting station, Oct.
20, 1905, and who later went to
Fort Omaha.
A description as found in the
army records in the local recruit
ing ofhee shows that Gladnor A.
Barnard was 1e years of age when
he enlisted, had curly brown hair,
blue eyes and was man of about
FIVE feet, eight inches in height.
The description shows that he
was Scared slightly on the right
side of his nose, on his left cheek
and on his left knee cap; that he
bore a scar one inch long and a
quarter Of an inch wide on his
right wrist, and a large scar on his
left foot:
When the body of w. A. Bar.
nard was examined in the Kirkel
Marsh morgue, the scars on Glad,
nor A. Barnard compared well
with those On the dead man. He
had scars on his nose, cheek and
foot, while the scars on his left
knee cap and right wrist were visi.
BILE. -.
Gladnor A. Barnard enlisted as
a telegrapher in the United States
army. w. A. Barnard was a tele-
grapher.
Before he committed suicide,
Barnard burned all the. papers in
his possession relative to telegraph
ic work. He is said to have told
his wife that he had gone through
several years army experience and
that he would still be in the army
were it not that his enlistment was
reduced to two years service.
Sergeant Harlow of the local re-
cruiting station, who was present
at the enlistment of Gladnor A.
Barnard, examined the corpse in
the morgue this afternoon. He
does not think the body is that of
Gladnor A. Barnard.

One of the first steps leading to
the adoption of the constitution
was by the United Colonies of New
England in 1643, caused by the Pc
quot war. The attempts of the
Dutch to regain their lost territory,
the enCroachment of the French
and Indians on the Northwest,
made it seem desirable for gener-
al union to be encouraged. On
the proposition of Connecticut all
the people met in their town meet.
ings and elected delegates to a
general court to meet in Boston.
Each colony was to furnish its quo
to of soldiers and meet a proper
tion of the expenses.
The Albany convention was cal
led by the Lords of Trade of Eng
land to make treaty with the Iri-
qouiS Indians. At this convention
franklin proposed, and the conven.
tion adopted his plan for a colon.
ial union. This plan provided for
president general and a council
OF delegates from each colony.
This plan was submitted to the
king and the people, but was r.
jected by each because they thought
it gave too much power to the
other.
The interval between the pas
sage of the stamp act and the day
1T was to go into effect was one of
great excitement in the colonies.
In 1916 Massachusetts, proposed a
congress of delegates from all the
colonies to discuss measures to de-
feat its enforcement. Nine colo
nieS responded and the Declara.
tion of Rights was drawn up by
the stamp act congress and sent to
the king. 1t asserted that Ameri-
cans were British citizens and had
a right to be represented in any
body that levied taxes upon them.
The first Continental Congress met
IL 1874. The colonial leaders re-
allied that only in unison could
there be power. This idea was
voiced by the New York Sons of
Liberty. A proposal was made by
the Virginia Assembly that a meet
ing be held September 5th, 1774.
Accordingly there met at Phila.
delphia body of ffty-fve dele.
gates. All the states were repre-
sented except Georgia, the royal
governor of that place being able
to defeat the election. This Con.
gress was in session until October
26. 1t issued an address to the
people of the colonies, one to the
king, one to the Canadians and one
to the people of Great Britain.
They demanded the repeal of elev-
enof the Objectionable acts and the
rights of Englishmen. When con-
gress adjourned it provided for an
other congress to meet on the 10th
of May 1875, to receive the kings
answer. Accordingly in 1875 the
congress met and were confronted
by the most serious questions. AS

his feet are dyed beautiful red. You

A Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the more intel
ligent to the use of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DR.. K. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N
y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from tho usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
nestle use and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering into the composition of his widely
celebrated medicines. Thus he has taken
ms numerous patrons and patients into
his full confidence. Thus too he has re-
moved his medicines from among secret
nostrums of doubtful merits. and made
them Remedtcs Of h1LolDn Composition
BY this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown
that his formulas are of such excellence
that he is not afraid to subject them to
the fullest scrutiny.
