Died Tuesday.

David K. Evinger died at the
home of his daughter Mrs. O.
W. Frost Tuesday night. The
cause of his death was a grad ual
breaking down caused by old
age. He was 79 years old and
was a native of Illinois. He
came here with his wife about a
year ago to live with bis daughter
and since then he has not been
in the best of health. His recent
illness has lasted about two
months and while the old gentle
man seemed to rally at times the
advanced age of the patient gave
his friends little hope for his ul-
innate recovery. The funeral
services were held at the late
residence Of the deceased and
the remains buried in the Pro
testant cemetary today. The
surviving relatives have the sym-
pathy of the entire community.

pitable ways of the pioneer.
The stranger even though a beg
gar. never failed to find food and
shelter if he sought it at his
hands, and he was at home by
the bedside of the sick and de-
lighted in all kinds Of neighborly
offices. He enjoyed prosperity
quietly ana has borne adversely
bravely, he had fillad the various
relations of life, as son, husband,
father, brother and friend and
filled them well. Who can do
more. But he is gone and
another name is stricken from
the ever lessening roll of old set
tiers. It must be so, these ten
der human ties must be broken
and they cannot be severed with
out a pang. His life work was
done, and while he had not quite
reached the allotted age of three
score and ten, he was weary OF
life's duties and cares, weary OF
suffering and waiting, he had
laid down to rest.
He was a man who united
sound sence with strong con-
victions, and a candid, outspoken
temper, eminently fitted to
mould the rude elements of
pioneer society into form and
consistency. How much this
community owes such as he it
is impossible to estimate, though
it would be a grateful task to
trace his influence through some
of the more direct channels, to
hold him up in his various
characters, as husband and
father, of neighbor and friend.

No Longer Head of the Development
Association.
He has Been President and

D. M. Maxcy. President of
the North Wisconsin Develop
ment Association the first of the
week rendered his resignation
to the Association. This organ
ization was conceived for the
purpose of taking up the work
of the old North Wisconsin Far
mers Association, but so far the
officers have been unable to stir
UP enough enthusiasm to carry
it on. Very few of the counties
have made any appropriation and
those that have refuse to pay
over any money unless all pay a
like amount. At the last meet
ing of the county board in this
county the appropriation of $1,000
which was made at the annual
meeting was cut to $3.50 with
the provision that nothing is to
be paid unless all of the counties
appropriate an equal amount.

the result was that Mr.. Maxcy
resigned. The work will now
probably be abandoned, as Mr..
Maxcy has been one of the lead
ing spirits in both this and the
old organization and it was due
to his efforts that so much was
accomplished. The County
Boards in the following counties
have made an appropriation:
Ashland $1,000, Bayfield, $3.50,

worst that has visited the

strong wind accompanied the
snow and drifts were piled
