OBITUARY

OAON gu oU OO1AAA . LOSp1UUl
Fargo, at one o'clock a. M, We'd
nesday, April LIST 1908, Mrs.
Eliza Jefferson, aged SO years 5
months and Z days.
Eliza Bell was born in County
Cavan, Belturbet, ireland, Oct.
Oath 1857. When but a small
child her mother died and a
grandmother took the care of
the little girl. When she was
about 16 years of age Eliza came
to Canada to live with her rela-
tives and made her home at Sea-
forth, Ontario, with an uncle,
James Dorrance. Here she lived
until she was married to r. W..
Mccormick, a bridge contractor
on the G. P. r., when she went
to live in Cayuga, which place
was her home for nearly a half
dozen years. Two children were
born to them here and suddenly
accidental death broke up the
happy home by taking the hus-
band and father. In the spring
of 1886 she came to N. D. and in
Sept. that year she was united in
marriage to Mr.. j. b. Jefferson
and together they shared the
lonliness and self denial of pio-
neer days. To them was born
one child. In youth Mrs. Jeffer-
son was a member of the Episco-
pal church and while in Canada
that was the church of her choice.
After a few years here Mr. and
Mrs. Jefferson united with the
Broadlawn Presbyterian church
where they held their member.
ship until after Mr. Jefferson's
death.
In 1902 Mr.. and Mrs. Jeffer-
son moved to Hope to make their
home. In July 1905 sudden
death again pals the brightness
of the home. Husband and faith
er taken. In 1905 Mrs. Jefferson
and her two daughters united
with the Cong'l. church of this
place, her son at that time was a
member Of the Cong'l. church in
Underwood, N. D.
After a brief illness of but four
short days the fat Of Him who
rules our mornings and outgo-
ings had been issued and the
sufferers spirit took it's flight to
that home the Christian believes
is the fulfllment of the life ever
lasting.
She was not only a kind and
loving mother but was also 4
dear companion to her children.
None ever entered her home
without a warm welcome nor left
without feeling the warmth. Of a
genuine hospitality. Well may
her children cherish her memory
as a precious legacy and we fein
would say a word of comfort to
the stricken ones we can but let
our tears flow in sympathy with
theirs and point them to the
promise, AT eventide it shall be
light" In the presence of such
a sorrow, how cold and impotent
are words and how doubly deep
would be the grief over the grave
did not the rainbow of christian
hope and faith span the dark gull
between time and eternity.
The funeral services were held
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock
from the Congregational church
and we're conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. Hitchcock. The orders

the deceased was a member at

The floral offerings were many
and beautiful. Interment was
made in the Hope cemetery.

Thence Extend to Town
Of JaryisviIIe.
THE ROAD WILL BE READY
For Operation in Next Six
Months at Most Declares
Judge Meredith.

Within the next six months anoth-
er railroad win be. in operation in
Harrison county, says Judge w. Scott
Meredith. of Falrmont.
Judge Meredith came to.:the city
Tuesday night with several capitalists
from New York and Pittsburg to
complete the transfers and titles OF a
large boundary of coal owned by the
Allegheny Coal Company. This work
was done preparatory to beginning
the active development of the, field
owned by the company.
The company's holdings consist of
several thousand acres of the Pitts
burg and other veins of coal at ana
around Jarvisville in this county.
which the company proposes to de-
velop on an extensive scale.
The Allegheny Coal Company has a
charter from the secretary of state
for a railroad and Q proposes to
build one to Its proposed coal opera
tions at Jaryisville. Judge Meredith
states that the line of railway which
the company will build and operate
will be from Fairmont TO clarks-
burg and thence to Jarvisvnle some
As or so miles. though it may be de-
cided to change the route and build
the line direct down Tenmile Creek
to point on the Baltimore & Ohio
just west of Wolf Summit eight
miles out from clarksburg.
Asked when the company would
begin the construction of the road
and the operation of its mines, Judge
Meredith replied: "At once" The
Telegram was also assured by him
that 1t would be safe in stating that
the railroad and mines would be in
operation within six months from
this date at most.
Among the gentlemen back of the
enterprise are F. S. Landstreet of
Davis, W. Va; and A. A. Hermann.
of New York.

been trying to locate in this country
the last &c years.
Mr.. Cohen at once began a corre-
spondence with the Galveston Mr..
Cohen with the result that they soon
located and identified one another
as cousins. Both were born In Lon
don and the former came to this
country &c years ago and the latter
preceded him years. 1t is unneces-
sary to say that both are rejoicing
over the fact that they have located
one another after such a long period.
and all came about on account of
Mr.. Joseph Cohen's voice.
The Galventon gentleman is in the
clothing business and has had great
success. While Mr.. Cohen here will
not go to see his relative FOR some
time. yet one OF his sons. wilde. ex-

Mr.. HOWARD
Is a Gifted Platform Man, Ac-
cording to Some Very
Strong Testimonials.

The Free Press, of London, Ont,
mentions as follows John F. Howard.
of Boston. who will give a Shakes
peare recital in Hoffman Hall here
Wednesday night of next week:
Mr.. Howard, unaided, read the
lines of every character. Gifted with
marvellous voice. capable of ex-
pressing every shade Of feeling. Mr..
Howard ilIumined the tragedy as with
the brush of a painter. Scenery he
has none. No orchestra played soft
Iy as, the villain died, No strangely
attired soldiers clashed tin swords on
plated shields. No tawdry witches
made the bard ludicrous. Attired In
evening dress. Mr.. Howard by voice
and facial expression and gesture
made the drama live with new life
to the minds of his auditors.
Mr.. Howard's Interpretation Of
Shakespeare is sound. To miss 1t Is
to miss an intellectual treat.

Eight Clubs Counted on at Con-
neIIsviIIe Meeting - Hoge
Favors Stock Company.

Although no definite action was
taken at the meeting of the West
Penn baseball league in Connellsville
Tuesday afternoon and evening,
enough material and encouragement
were brought to focus to make all
those interested in the league believe
that it will be a go this year with
eight separate clubs.
President Frank ]. Welch. of the
clarksburg club. intended to go to
the meeting but missed his train and
had to arrange for a representation
of the Clarksburg club at the meet
ing by proxy. After the meeting was
over he talked to his representative
in ConneIlsville over the long dis
tance telephone and was informed
that fans from eight clubs expressed
willingness to get in the league this
season, providing the organization
would be continued. These eight
cities are Uniontown. Charleroi. But
Ter, Braddock, scottdale, Connells-
vile, Clarksburg and Fairmont.
