Improved weather conditions have served
10 lift some of the gloom that hung over
the trainers AT Brightwood the week prev1-
GUS Nearly every day has been trainers
day the week past and from early morn TO
dewy eve the rhythmic hoof beats of trotters
and PAGERS could be heard. The monotonous
daily Jog is now being exchanged for trifie
lveler work-mies around three minutes.
Seventy years ago. or more, when Boston
Blue trotted a mile around that mark in a
match, the world was set agog at the ca
pacity OF a horse that could accomplish
such feat Now a mile around three min
utes for a modern bred trotter, even
though he be green one just from the
pasture and hardly waywised, excites no
special attention.

VILLAGE
MATTERS.
Supreme Court Decision
Switches Things Some.

The "round up meeting of the
several municipal boards took
place in the past few days.
The School board met on Fri
day night and elected Miss Lucy
Bowen as teacher of English in
the Logan High School, vice Miss
Harrington resigned.
On Monday evening the Board
of Public affairs met, and khad be-
fore them City Attorney John G,
Petit, whom advised them in the
premises of the Supreme Court de-
cision that any public officer can
not hold any other public office OF
employment. Therefore Superin-
tendent George Gladman retired
as superintendent of the water
works, he being a member of the
Board of Public affairs. That
board organized by electing L. b.
Engle, president, w. A. Hepder-
son superintendent on a salary of
$4,000 per month, and Miss
Blanche Moe secretary on salary
Of $4,000 per month.
This board has also been the
Board of Cemetery Trustees, but
under the decision, their services
as such becomes a nullity, and
they retired gracefully, with
Treasurer G. H. Rauch submitting
his annual report.
On Tuesday night, the Village
Council met with but four embers
present. Mr.. Angle was out of
town, and Mr.. Nail had dropped
out of the council because of that
same famous supreme court de-
clSlOn, clteu aDOVe. MI. Eall is

Obituary

Mrs. Emma Saylor Newman was
born in Nelsonville, Ohio, May is,
1859, and passed from earth De-
cember 10, 1906, at the age of 81
years, Z months and l day.
She had happy young life in
the large, affectionate family of
the home and was permitted to
spend her youth and young wom-
anhood in the schools and social
life of her native town.
On July 81, 1854, she was hap
PLY married to Mr., Oscar s. New
man, they at once went to house
keeping at Buchtel, Ohio. In
this pleasant little home her four
children were born, the second
babe, a son, was in infancy taken
to the mansion aboye.
In 1890 the family moved to
New Straitsville, here the parents
had the children baptized and
Mrs. Newman united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
In 1897 they came to Logan,
and for almost ten years have
lived in the same pleasant house
from which she was called to her
eternal home.
Mrs. Newman had that good
taste and womanly pride which
were very manifest in her neat,
we'll arranged house. She appre-
ciated the true and the beautiful.
She realized, however, that ii
home cannot be constituted by
walls, a roof and furniture. Love
is the great element that warns,
and cheers every DEPART
ment of home. To her, the home
without affection would be only
the frame without the picture;
the night without the stars; the
day without the sun. The moth
