REV. GEORGE F. WENTWORTH
Pioneer Presbyterian Preacher.

While the Rev. George F. Whitworth lived
to more than ripe old age, being 81 years
old at the time of his death, last Sunday
evening, yet his demise was not wholly eI-
pected and friends and acquaintances who
noted his firm and elastic step from day to
day as he attended to his business in and out
of the city, freely predicted that he would
live 10 see his hundredth milestone and then
perhaps some The world is well acquainted
with the Rev. Whitworth s historic life and
therefore no eulogy that might be attempted
to be paid to him herein would be hun
dredth part of what is already known OF
him We believe, however, we can say with
out fear Of successful contradiction that, no
man that ever came to the Northwest dld
more for humanity than the Rev. George +.
Whitworth and with Seattle the whole Unit
ed States reveres his memory and stops to
drop tear at his bier.

Political Pot-Pie

Either Potter Charles Sullivan is the pOhtl-
cal wonder of the Northwest or he is the VIC
tim Of one of the dirtiest deals that has ever
been turned in this State, and that IS saying
a GOOD deal. He has rendered the President
his resignation as District United States Al
tOrney, thus breaking the record, II a Volun-
tarv act on his part but if forced to do so,
he himself, has been politically broken. Sui
Ivan $ resignation smells ''belly" much like
''nigger in the wood pile" as he had tend
cred it to Senator Piles, the two senators had
conferred as to a successor, the Young Men
Republican Club, thousand strong, had met
and endorsed Elmer Todd as suitable sue
cessor the news wired to the President and
all before the general public was aware that
Sullivan so much as even contemplated re-
signing. Those interested had also decided
that Todd would not let out any OF the pres
ent deputies, thus thickening the plot. Who
said Ankeny was not getting busy?
I*
Rumor has it that the Ankeny folk had IN
formed Charley Sullivan that he had to get
busy for Ankeny . or off comes your political
head . but he refused to do so and was given
this ultimatum, Eyou will either get busy for
Ankeny instanter, or your resignation is de-
manded' Now it was known even before
Charley was appointed that he was very Ia
yorably disposed to former Senator John H.
Wilson and though he worked like dick
nalor for the election of S. II. Piles, Wilson
was his strong second choice, and it will be
also remembered that, Mr.. Wilson strongly
endorsed Sullivan for the appointment he
now holds The supposition therefore is that
he Sullivan, refused to break away from Will
son in the fight the latter is Waglng on An
kenv. hence his forced resignation Senator
Wilson is now in California, which may ac
count for the sudden turn things took in the
political arena Of the federal office-holders.
Elmer Todd is docile creature and will serve
his masters Loyalty.
A new convert has been recently taken into
the Anlzeny fold and it is none other than the
political wizard Of Tacoma, better known
as George Hazard, who for many years has
posed as a mossback Democrat. You, dear
reader, are doubtless surprised to hear this,
nevertheless it is absolutely correct as Haz-
zard is gallavanating about over the State
preaching Anlzeny and whispering confiden-
tiallv into the ears of Jones men that, An
keny will be endorsed at the primary polls
bv two to one vote No man in the whole
Northwest has been in the lime light on ac-
count of alleged shady transactions so much
as George Hazard, and it occurs to the Pie
maker that, the Crocker Baker push must be
pretty hard up for henchmen when man oil

saoe bearer to the honest and hOonrable vOt-
ers of this State.

A FAITHFUL DOG.

The faithfulness of dog has been
demonstrated in this town. Last Sat-
urday Mr.. Silas Cain, who lives near
Chenille, was in Columbia, his shep-
herd dog being with him. In the after
noon Mr.. Cain went into T. E. Paull's
drug store, leaving his dog on the
outside. After transacting some bust
ness Mr.. Cain left the store, but his
faithful canine did not notice him. The
dog waited patiently, lying upon the
doorstep, and when Mr.. PAUL closed
his store at bedtime he had not moved.
Sunday morning he was still watching,
and continued to watch during the
whole Of the day Sunday, and all Sun
day night and up to ten o'clock Monday
when Mr.. Cain returned. There is no
way to express the joy maifested by
the dog when he saw his master. Mr..
Cain says that he is a very valuable
animal and that one hundred dollars
would not buv him.

WORK ON THE FAIR GROUNDS -VALUA.
Bile IMPROVEMENTS.

Work on the improvements of the
Columbia Fair ground is now under
way and within short time will pre-
sent an attractive appearance. The en-
tire grounds will be refenced and made
much larger which will enable the associ-
alton to offer more inviting hitch grounds
for horses. A new dining room, 20 by
40 feet, will be built on the ground here
tofore occupied by the doll rack, while
that amusement will be placed at an
other place in the shade of the beauti-
full trees far enough from the amphi-
theater to make both crowds separate.
The old dining room has already been
torn away and that place will be occu-
pied by a neat refreshment stand.
The Band stand will be rebuilt and
placed just outside of the ring which
will leave a clear field for the exhibit
ton and place the music where it will
be centrally located. The Secretary is
to have a new office, the Judges stand
will be rebuilt, and at theeast end of the
amphitheater building, 80 feet wide.
40 feet long and two storier high. The
lower floor will be devoted to the show
of poultry, chickens, turkeys, ducks,
geese on one side and field and garden
products on the other. The second
story will be dedicated to the display of
al articles manufactured by the ladies
and in which they have an interest.
All kinds of needle work, all kinds of
bakery will be given nice premiums.
The list will cover many articles and
everything brought to the building will
be neatly arranged, attractively exhibit
ed and kept on exhibition from first to
last day.
In addition to the above, many other
improvements will be made. Good,
large pens for hogs and plenty of them.
About 25 or 80 new stables for horses
will be built. All horse stock will be
kept out of the beautiful grove which
will be retained for the comfort and
pleasure of the people. Water will be
piped from the we'll to a convenient
point for stock men and plenty of 1t
will be supplied as the well will be
pumped by an engine.
We are arranging matters to not on
ly get larger crowd but to better care
for the many who will be there. Fix
up your hogs, sheep, cattle, and all
kinds of animals. Select your show
fowls, one male and two females of
each breed and class. Get to work
on any article you want to show in
needle work or cooking. The fair will be
one of great interest to home people.
Help US and you help yourself.

WORK OF THE GRAND JURY...FOR.
TY TWO IN TROUBLE.

The work of the Grand Jury came to
finish since our last issue, and while
the number of indictments are not as
numerous as many such similar bodies
have presented in this county, yet
painstaking inquiry was made to detect
all violations of law and to find true bills
where ever the evidence would warrant.
There is not doubt but that those who
composed the jury made an honest, in
telligent effort and this being true indi-
Gates that a higher regard for law and
order is in evidence in this part of the
state. 1t would be great blessing if
all could rise to the full and complete
obediance to law but such state of af-
fairs will never happen in this or any
other section so the only remedy is
through good courts of inquiry and
rigid prosecution. The indictments are
as follows: Murder 2, OBTAINING woman
l, malicious cutting 1, cruelty to beast
1, selling liquors unlawfully Z, breach
of the peace Is, reckless use of weapons
3, concealed weapons 6, gaming 1, dis
turbing assembly A, injuring property.

ELBOW SLEEVES and JUMPERS.

l am unable to say where elbow
sleeves aid to any extent, the appear
auce of a girl or woman's dress. They
are whim of fashion in the extreme,
and the pace is once set, it is woman's
disposition to get in the mad whirl re-
CARELESS of what the consequences may
be, or they expect to be the target of
remarks by other girls and women for
not dressing sup" to the top notch of
the fashion of the day.
Some men may think that bare arm
to the elbow or even above, add to the
grace and beauty of young woman,
but according to my way of seeing,
fail to grasp the matter in that light.
Of course well rounded, short arm
looks decidedly more pleasing in elbow
sleeves than a long bony one. If
some women knew how absurd they
appear in short sleeves, they would
certainly wear them of more desira-
BILE length, especially on the streets
and in other public places.
There may be occasions when elbow
sleeves may be worn with more propri-
ETY., such as evening social functions,
and other places of entertainment,
where young women usually wear del
icate fabric for dress, but when they
appear upon the streets with their bare
arms exposed to the rays of the sun, it
seems to me that they are going to the
extreme for the sake of fashion. Then
again these little Peek-a-boo concerns
called jumpers, are preposterous in
their makeup. Most of them seem to
have been cut when there was scarce
ity of cloth. have heard the opinions
of men who said that if they were a
young lady and could not wear a gar
ment with more cloth in it than a
jumper, they would discard the whole
thing, and substitute something else in
it's stead.
have no criticisms to make about
woman's dress, because it does not con-
Germ me one way or the other. l have
merely made these remarks to express
my views upon the subject.

AN AGED LADY MEETS DEATH.

Last Thursday afternoon, about 3
o'clock, Mrs. Lucy Jackman, who would
have been seventy six years old had she
lived until next July, passed over the
river of death. The deceased was the
mother of Messrs. John and Frank Jack
man, Miss Laura Jackman and Mrs.
John Eubank, of this place. Another
son, Mr.. William Jackman, resides in
the West.
Mrs. Jackman moved with her hus-
band, Capt. VIM. Jackman, to Adair
county about thirty-five years ago, and
twenty-five years of that time she spent
in Columbia and in the vicininy of the
town. 1t was not often that she was
seen out from her home as she was
greatly, afflicted, having been an inva-
lid for more than thirty years.
Many years ago she confessed her
Savior, united with the Methodist
Church, living a consistent Christian
until God called her home.
The funeral services were held at the
late residence Friday afternoon, con-
Quoted by her pastor, Rev. A. R. Ka-
sey, assisted by Ed. z. T. Williams, a
number of relatives and friends being
present.
At the close of the services the re-
mains were bourne to the city cemetery
and deposited by the side of her hus-
band.
To the family the News extends its
profound sympathy.

Mr.. 5. W. PETTY DEAD.

The intelligence of the death of this
highly respected, and much beloved
Christian man will be felt throughout
the county, and especially did it bring
sorrow to the homes of the people living
on Crocus. 1t was here where he was
reared. He was kind and sympathet-
ic neighbor, a devoted husband and a
loving father, friend to the unfortu-
nate, God-fearing and God serving
man. For weeks wife and children
watched tenderly by his bedside hoping
and praying that his life might be
spared, but Gods will is Interchangeable,
and at 9 O'Clock p. M, on Tuesday,
May %, his spirit took its flight. He
was known to almost every body in
Adair county. Besides the wife, who
has been so sorely bereft, there are six
children. They were all at his bedside,
except Mrs. DIR. Brown. May God in
His infinite wisdom heal the wounds of
the broken hearted, and may this dis
pensatio "a of Providence bring the wife
and children closer to their Maker look
ing forward to reunited family in that
home beyond the skies. The writer ex-
tends his heartfelt sympathy.

FOR THE CELEBRATION.

Editor of The News
| notice in last weeks News you
favor a forth of July Celebration in or
near Columbia.
l want to second that motion and say
l am ready to assist in any way l can
in arranging for such a meeting. l
suggest you appoint meeting in the
near future at the Courthouse inviting
the leaders and citizens of the town to
attend That proper committees may
be appointed, and all necessary ar
rangements made.
| suggest as one feature of the enter
tainment an oratorical contest of four
young men under twenty-five years of
age, and a gold medal given to the
winner. Then few patriotic speeches,
and sermon or two. This with the
good music our excellent band is COM
petant to make and a few patriotic
songs will make splendid and helpful
entertainment.
Let it be at the Fair Grounds, and in
vite every body to bring some good
things to eat, whichis always necessary
to complete the pleasure of such meet
ings. A reading contest by two young
ladies who have been in the training
classes of expression in the two schools
would add to the interest of the occa-
sion, medal Or equal value offered the
winner. All of which is humbly SUBJ
mitted. z. T. WILLIAMS.
