course of law at the University
at Morgantown, and, marrying
Miss Laura V. Herold, has locat-
ed at Redwood to practice law;
and Hattie NJ, now the wife of
DR.. Simon w. Riddle, of Arm
oldsburg.
Mr.. Wolverton took sick on
December the 9th. 1908, was at
tended by doctors w. I. w. Dye
and Simon w. Riddle. and on the
18th, five days later, departed
this life at the ripe age of seven
ty-nine years. His wife survives
him.
Educated in the common
schools of his day and having a
love for knowledge, he became
one of the pioneer teachers of
this county. He had read extern
sively, and having a retentive
mind, his knowledge took a wide
range. But few men of any
country or any age were more
patriotic than he. His sympathy
was broad enough to reach every
sorrow Of the the human heart,
and he realized that if happiness
is to be the end of the human
race, freedom must be it's condi-
ton; and contrary to the rule his
endeavors were t. liberate rather
than enslave his fellows.
He did not believe that the
present age afforded men all the
freedom they were entitled to
enjoy, and he recognized that it
was his duty, as a warrior for
mankind, to give the best of his
life to breaking down the bull
warks which superstition had
reared as barriers to civilization.
He comprehendeu that freedom
includes the right to differ, and
he had just regard for all hon
est votaries of all social, political
and churchly institutions. He
was free from the sin of intoler-
ance. His house was open TO all
his heart received all. None came
hungry whom he did not feed:
none sorrowing who received not |
his sympathy.
He knew his time had come to
go, but no last-moment prepare
tons had to be made, his prepa-
ration had been made through
long life of just and upright con-
duct. When he realized that his
was done, he cast anchor
in the sea of eternity, serene and
calm under the shadows of the
evening Of q life we'll spent. He
has gone to embrace Him whose
shadow he has seen in his dreams |
and in that day when the people
of all chimes, arising at last from
their slumbers and dreams, shall
stand in the final judgment,
know that my time honored friend
can give a good account of his
stewardship in the world.
BY faith | now can see his face as fair as
ever shone,
Among the Saints, at Gods right hand up.
on the great white throne,
In fancy l can hear him say, my wife, my
children come,
For you | watch and wait dear ones, | know
you're coming home
In friendship contributed by,
BRUCE TERRELL.

One Of the Greatest Plays Of the Sea
son at Opera House May %.

George Broadhurst's play, "The
Man of the Hour" has more than en-.
tertaining quality TO 1t. II has an
educational value to II inasmuch as
il is well planned demonstration OF
what actually occurs In American
politics OF course. 'The Man of the
Hour is dramatized fiction, but
George Broadhurst obviously con-
structed his play TO make II harmo-
nize as nearly as possible with actual
events of the times as they occur In
franchise fights In our American
cities, some Of which are In the clut.
ches OF organized greed. This play
demonstrates how some professional
politicians pose as being friends of
The people; how they plan election OF
men whom they hope TO use to fur
Their their own thieving desires after
election, and how the boss" schemes
TO make public office q private snap
for INSCRIPTIONS individuals and or.
CARNATIONS by abuse of bribery.
In this play "The Man Of the Hour
is young man, honest, sincere, de.
termined to adhere to principle
whatever the result may be. Great
losses confront him. His family
honor Is threatened His sweet
heart spurns him, and all the world
seems to turn against him at the crit

One Of Seven Unidentified Bodies
That Of Woman

Laporte, Ind, May 1S.-Autopsies
OF the seven unidentified bodies OK
humed from Mrs. Belle Guinness pri.
vate burial ground were completed to
day and they revealed the fact. &C.
cording to the reports of Drs. Wilcox
and Osborne who conducted the ant.
opsies under the direction of Coroner
Mack, that one of the seven was a fe-
male.
This revelation aroused new inter
est In the story that man and wo-
man came to the house one night in
iSO4 TO take Jennie Olsen to Los
Angeles college, as Mrs. Guinness told
lhose about the place. The next
morning Jennie, the man and woman
were gone. Mrs. Guinness said that
they had left ON an early train for

come to take her to California and
buried all three bodies.
