Death OF Mrs. Allen Spencer,

Mrs. Olive Il. Spencer, one of the
Lincoln county pioneers, passed away
at the family home in Fairview last
Friday morning at 10 O'Clock, aged II
years, l month and Ia days. The fun
eral was held last Sunday and the SER
vice was conducted by Rev. w. @,
Redfield of Hurley, an old and devoted
friend Of the family. The remains of
the grand old christian were laid
away in the little cemetery south of
Fairview, undertaken Byrnes having
charge of the funeral arrangements.
She was united in marriage to Mr..
Spencer in Illinois in 1853, after which
she and her husband removed to
Waterloo, Iowa, and in 1873 they To-
Gated at Fairview. Mrs. Spencer was
noted for kindness of heart and chris
tian work, having been a member of
the Methodist church for over 90
years. Many early settlers will re-
member her generosity and love. She
waS a noble woman in all that makes
christianity supreme.
No children were born Of the union
and Mr.. Spencer, in his advanced
years, feels keenly the terrible loss
that has come to him. 1t is indeed a
sever blow to the aged pioneer and
the sympathy of the people of the en-
tire county will go to him in his sor-
row.

A set of schoolboys might do as
we'll. Indeed such proceedings are
highgrade recommendations to the in
tegrity and skill Of the highest legal
lights of our country. And how busy
they are, they have no time to consid-
er the peoples petitions; they have
no time to investigate the merits or
dement's of correspondence touching
upon their business, but they do have
time to vote themselves increased sal
aries; and that job they do to perfec-
tion too, so that no court need step in
with an injunction to stop operations.
They have also time to vote them

they have time to keep these secreta-
ries busy directing pamphlets all over
the country containing speeches upon
the floor of congress that have never
been made and that the people never
read, but or course the government
printing offices and binderies must be
kept busy, and the mail sacks must
be filled to weigh good and heavy.

our congressman are playing a comedy

lators and Senators of old Rome ever
so taken up with important work?
No, surely not, they simply attended
to their own selves and to their po-
litical strings and let the country go
to the dogs. Our congressman and
senators will not do that for they are
not Romans, they are Americans you
know. And sure sir, you will COM
pare an American elector to a Ro-
man serf or a Roman slave will you?
| That will never do. An American

Important Rule to Route Patrons

The Postmaster at Canton desires
to call attention to the practice OF
some patrons OF rural delivery OF
placing loose coins in their boxes each
time they desire to dispatch letters
instead of supplying themselves with
postage in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue hard
ship on the rural carriers in removing
loose coins from boxes and delays
them On the service Of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgently
requests that patrons of rural delivery
provide themselves and keep on hand
a supply of stamps consistent with
and in advance Of their needs. 1t is
very desirable that rural patrons
place in their mail boxes small de-
tachable cups of wood or tin in which
to place coins, when necessary, in
purchasing supplies of stamps.

To Nationalist Elevators.

To the LEADER: In my last I call
ed attention to inexpensiveness to the
industries Of country, of curren-
cy based upon grain in the hands of
the national government. The SIM
plicity Of the measure and the Ease
with which it operates is also self-evi-
dent. Its redeeming quality prevents
any objection of imitation. 1t comes
into being at the crop-moving eas
and is reduced as consumption pro-
ceeds, thus making self-acting in
creasing and decreasing currency Of
the ideal elastic kind. The financial
manipulators have no power upon it.
1t passes out among the people with
out going through the manipulator's
hands and is redeemed by the govern
ment itself without the manipulation
getting his fingers upon it, he can
therefor not create a panic in that
kind of currency. Is it convenient,
good and safe in the business world?
Indeed it meets all the requirements
of a safe currency in the industrial
world, but it does not meet the mon
ey-manipulator's requirements for
pulling interest. What is the pri-
mary and fundamental object of legis-
lation? Is it to promote the general
welfare Of the people, or is it to pro.
mote the schemes of the parasite suck
ing the Industries of the people?
Will the people work out of the super
stition the parasite has involved them
in, that a stone is better than bread?
But the currency measure of the
proposition does not constitute all its
merits. Look at grain trade.
We hold the worlds supply magazine
of grain. Producing grain is one of
our CHI ief industries. We have also at
tafned a high degree of skill in pro-
ducing grain, but how about the mar
keting side Of the business? Here is
where the individual producer Is
powerless. The grain market Is a
branch Of our interstate commerce
and of u foreign commerce. Has the
federal legislation done anything to
regulate this important branch OF our
commerce? Is it not a fact that u
grain market operates under a "Gam-
bling Den" equally as demoralizing as
our financial gambling?
We hear a great deal Of heightened
talk about the congress claiming for
itself the power to regulate this COM
merce. Indeed the congress spends
months and years trumpeting this
about the country and when it once
in a long while gets itself groomed
and ready to bring out a job Of the
kind the courts step In and say the
job shall be imperative till some
great corporation has had a chance to
try its validity.

Capt. ROald Amundsen i'm Wash
ingtOn, ID. G.


The Washington papers lately con-
tanned long accounts Of the annual
banquet of the National Geographic
Society, which took place in the large
ball room of the new Willard Hotel.
Captain Road Amundsen was the
guest of honor and the whole func-
tion took upon itself the character of
a grand personal ovation for the in
trepid Norwegian explorer such as
has seldom been bestowed by the up
per tendon in the Capitol upon a
foreign scientist.
The Vice-P President of the United
States, Mr.. Fairbanks, on behalf Of
the society handed Captain Amund-
sen their large gold medal, which had
been specially engraved with a suit
able design. This medal weighs $3.50
worth Of gold, on n side has the
arctic map with a beautiful emerald
set at the point Of the North mag
netic pole. In this way the society
wished to emphasize the credit it
gives to Amundsen for his work in
locating the pole.
This medal is the highest scienti6 c
distinction that can fall to a dis
coverer in the United States for the
society Is the biggest In the world,
counting more than 10000 members
and the medal has only been given to
one man before Amundsen, as 1t was
given last year to Commander Perry.
Amongst the 400 guests could be
seen all the members of the diploma
tic corps, the highest officers in the
army and navy and all the noted
scientists of Washington.
When presenting the medal Mr..
Fairbanks said to Captain Amundsen:
"You, Captain, have helped the sci
enti6c world to gain a certainty Of
knowledge about the North Magnetic
Pole where formerly there only exist
ed a we'll founded theory. During
the last 400 years very many vain at
tempts have been made to navigate
the Northwest passage and many
lives as we'll as untold sums of money
have been lost in all these futile ex-
petitions. Many renowned names are
tied to the history Of the Northwest
passage, but to you and you alone be-
longs the honor of having achieved
the goal for which all the other cour-
ageous heroes fought and failed.
That this honor belongs to a Nor
wegian is a matter of c~ongratula-
tions, for your country has presented
a large number of very excellent citi-
zens to the United States.
Following the Vice-president, MI.
%Jusseraud, Ambassador from France,
and Mr.. James Bryce, Ambassador
from England spoke for Captain
Amundsen and both O: them lauded
his great courage and his splendid
Judgment in equipping the expedi-
tion which sailed the waters Of the
Northwest passage. All through the
evening the mere mention of Amund-
sens name was the signal for i'm
mense ovations from all the guests.
Capt. Amundsen has sent this last
medal to the University of K%ristiania
where all the rest of his medals are
already exhibited in the collection of
coins, altogether some rs Different
ones, which with his unparalleled
generosity Amundsen has presented
to the University as a gift. This
famous explorer will deliver a lecture
in Augustana Chapel, Feb. %.

Bad Wheat To Plant.

At a recent meeting of the millerS
association of the state held at Water
town, red bearded fife wheat was con-
demned as unfit for millerS use and
will be graded hereafter below No. 3
spring and below No. l winter. In
discussing this matter with Mr.. South
the other day he said that the red
bearded fife was almost worthless as a
milling wheat. If anyone wants blue
stem for seed they had better leave
their order at the Canton Roller Mill
as a car load of blue stem will be or
dered for seed.

Death OF Florence MILEAGE.

Florence Isabel Millage, only child
of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Millage, was
born Jan. 9, 1899, and died Jan. 90,
1908. On Sept. 9, 1907, in company
with other little girls she was playing
with a jack o'lantern at the home of
D. S. Guinter. In some manner the
flames from the candle set fire to the
little girls clothes, and she was quite
severely burned about the shoulder
/ and arm and face. She seemed to get
along very well towards recovery, be-
ing up and out somewhat during Dec
ember. She was again confined to
her bed, however, gradually getting
worse, until her death occurred at 8
a. M. Jan. %. The funeral was held
at the Methodist Episcopal Church
the afternoon Of Jan. Is, Rev. w. Al
fred Cave, the pastor, conducting it.
Florence wa a very promising and
lovable little girl, and her death is a
severe blow to her parents. During
all the weeks and months of her sick
ness and suffering she manifested the
| utmost patience. 1t is we'll with her.
1.-THE damsel Is not dead, but sleep
etho!'
| A precious one from us is gone,
A voice We loved is still;
Oh, how our hearts to-day are bleeding.
How our eyes are filed with tears;
For she's answered heavens pleading,
To spend up there her future years.
But o, we miss her; how we miss her;
1t breaks ourAearts to know she's gone;
For loved ones never more can kiss her,
Sadness drear pervades our home.
O, how we miss her. how we miss her;
Our hearts are bleeding still with pain;
How we'd love to fondly kiss her,
But we never can again.
Her earthly eyes are closed forever;
Her hands are folded DER her breast;
| Well see her face again, no, never;
She's gone to take her rest.
But still remains q hope to gladden.;
We may see her yet again,
| Where pain and death can never sadden,
And together sing a glad refrain.
II we but live for Christ our Savior.
And strive to heights of God to rise,
Wen meet again to part, no never,
And greet our darling beyond the skies.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to express our thanks. to
