SUFFERINGS DER.
Joe Barnett Ceases to Endure Pain
After Long Period.

Three score or more years of SUI
fering, during which he uttered not
a mHrmur oil complaint, was the lot
of poor Joe Barnett whose earthly
career was terminated Sunday night
last at the age of seventy-two.
Until a few years ago he was able
TO be about and mingle with his
many relatives and friends Of old,
but a stroke of paralysis rendered
him helpless and he reluctantly
lald down the cares of life to await
the final summons.
Mr.. Barnett was born at Brook
vile. Penn, Feb. %, 1885. His
birthday was on the same day as
George Washlngton's and had he
survived until next Friday he would
have been seventy-two years of
age.
In the spring of 1917 in COM
pany with his parents, brothers and
sisters, deceased came to Wisconsin
and located at Lancaster, and here
ne continuously resided during all
this Intervening time with eXcep-
ton of a few years spent at BOsco-
bel with his brother James, who
conducted a hotel there.
Mr.. Barnett vas IL the mercantile
business in Lancaster for several
years and prospered. HIS physical
condition was not such TO stand the
wear aud tear of business life
however and he retired shortly
after the Nathan firm engaged in
active business here.
He made his home at the Wright
house for seventeen years. During
the civil war he was the companion
and heIpmate Of his sister, Mrs. J.
B. Calls, end after the generals
demise eight years ago last Septem-
Der he returned there TO pass his
remaining davs.
The sufferiugs Mr. Barnett had
endured are not TO be described by
printers ink nor by speech. At an
early age curvature of the spine
rendered him cripple and practi-
cally made him helpless. Generous
to a fault ne soon expended the
little mears he had-Or furnished
others with it-and the amount he
had SO carefully saved by self
denial was soon exhausted.
To Mrs. CaIlis-a good sister if
IL T.
er Jed, he became a charge and both
are deserving of special mention for
the care he was given during all
these years of sickness and distress.
Other relatives, friends and neigh
bors dropped IN often perhaps to
extend greetings and offer assist
ance to the lonely gentleman. but
that was nothing compared to the
aid given by that aged sister and
brother Jed who ever held his
wants in mind, and who made
many self-sacrifces TO administer TO
their unfortunate brother.
The funeral obsequies were held
from the home Of Mrs. Calls Mon
day afternoon, Rev. Morgans off
ciating at the last sad rites. In
torment took place at Hillside ceme-
teay.
Surviving are four brothers and
two sisters james of Boscobel.

(From Tuesdays Daily)

DR., Claude d. Walcott who mystic
riously disappeared in FL Paso sew
eral years ago, and who so far as
could be ascertained by the public,
died during a spree in that city and
was buried in the potter's field with
the unknown dead, Is alive and well
in the practice Of his profession at
Higgins, Texas.
The Walcott case attracted wide
attention all over the country at the
time of the mans disappearance
both on account of the connection
OF Walcott and the circumstances
of the case. Dr.. Walcott was a prac-
tScing physician of known ability
and was a specialist Of considerable
note in the Panhandle. For several
years before his removal to ANA
rillo he had been making regular
visits here as "a specialist. Then he
moved his family here and built the
house on Pierce street now owned
and occupied by L. GOWN, For a
time he enjoyed the most successful
practice Then a growing weakness
for drink got the mastery and the
doctor lost his grip on his practice
and on his profession.
Leaving the practice of medicine
entirely he took out a contract I'M
der r. II. Baker & Co., of Austin,
as PanhnaGle manager for the Eqult-
able Life Insurance company. Here

man asserted itself and Walcott did

STAPLETON MAKES WINNING FIGHT
For Travelling Men Who COntended for
Baggage Checked Through to
Destination Point on Inter-
ChdngeabIe Mileage.
STAPLETON MAKES WINNING FlGH

Mr.. Lawson Stapleton left yesterday
for st. Louis on business with his
house, the Brown Shoe Co., and just
before departure was advised of favor
able action by the Railroad Commits
| sion upon his request for the checking
books.
Mr.. Stapleton was gratifed alike at
the favorable action of the Commission,
as well as upon the promptness with
which the matter was disposed of.
1t means great saving to travelling
men, both in time and money.
At present the railroads will not
check excess baggage on interchange
able mileage books, and travelling men
| are compelled, therefore, to pay adj
ditional charges, as well as to go to the
trouble of having baggage reweighed
at junction points en- route.
Several days ago Mr.. StapIeton took
the matter up with the Railroad Com
mission, addressing letter thereupon
to Commissioner o. B. Stevens and
asking that railroads be required to
check baggage through to destination
upon presentation of interchangeable
mileage book.
The result means great deal to the
travelling men.
In other the words, travelling me n
| carrying numerous sample trunks are
to be put upon parity with holders of
coupon tickets. The new order will
become effective July 18th, and will
prove boon1to the army of travelling
men doing business in the state.
Mr.. Stapleton is to be congratulated
upon his signal victory in behalf of the
fraternity. Moral: See what you
want and then ask for it.
