About two months ago Dr.. Peter.
son had an attack of cystitis which
persistently refused to yield to treat.
ment finally developing into perito-
nitis which proved fatal
DR.. Peterson was born in Union
Springs, New York, June 20, 1871
In his sixteenth year he entered the
dental office of DR.. C..N. Chittenden
of Hamilton, Ont, as student OF
dentistry. After completing his
studies he practiced a short time in
Ontario settling in Kansas City in
1865 In June 1869 he married Miss
Jennie ,LeValley, of Medina, New
York, and in October of that year the
young couple settled in this city,
where they have since had their
home Two children were born to
them, Florence, who passed away
July /, 1889 and Ivah, now Mrs. A.
D. Glascock, of Charlotte, S. c.
While not one Of tho pioneers of
our city, DR.. Peterson belonged to
the ever lessening number of our
older citizens, having been in the ac-
tive practice of his profession here
for thirty-nine years, winning by his
business ability and professional skill
a large clientage which extended
throughout the county.
Dr. Peterson was ever a Quiet,
gentle man who lived his home, his
city and. his church, gentleman not
only in his outward department but
in those finer sensibilities and appre-
Citations that mark the courtesy of
the old school.
In his religious affiliations an
Episcopalian, he gave his earnest
support to the church here, acting for
years as vestryman and taking
charge of the musical services in his
sSounger years.
AS a citizen DR.. Peterson always
held, the even tenor of his way. Po-
litically a Republican, but not a
politician. He held to citizenship
good government and his influence
was always for honesty and decency
in civic affairs:
Many men have made more noise
in the world but who among us has
lived more consistently, acted more
gently, spoken more kindly, or eX-
ercised more charity toward his fell
bowman? Indeed in the full appre-
citation of the finer things of :, life
whether music, religion his profess
sion, his citizenship or his friend
ships, DR.. Peterson was marked
among his fellows
Besides his wife and daughter his
three sisters: MISS M. A. Peterson, of
Hudson, N. Y; Mrs. Georgia p.
Cheesman, New York City; Mrs. S.
II. Abbott, Union Springs, n. Y, and
his nieces, Miss Kate Chittenden, of
New York, and Miss Nellie ,Chitten-
den, Of Batavia, y. Y, survive him.

West Haven Farmers Club.

On April IS, the members of the
West Haven Farmers Club gathered
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. H. H.
Hill for the regular meeting
The hour before diner was spent
in a'social manner. After an excel
lent dinner prepared by the hostess
the meeting was called to order and
opened with the usual exercises con-
sisting of songs, invocation, secre-
tary's report and roll call.
After a short business session .the
program was carried out as follows:
Give an outline of what you con-
slider a productive and un-to-date
farm. Mr.. Hill said among other
things that he considered that a
farm in order to be productive and'
up-to-date should be thoroughly
drained. Other thoughts brought out
were that an up-to-date farm re-

ing out many good points as we'll as
considerable mirth.
Instrumental music, Ethel Hill.
The third question, (Which is the
More Profitable to Raise, Poultry
Principally for Eggs or Market?"
The greater portion of those dis
cussing this question stated that
they received more profit from the
eggs than from poultry sold.
Mr.. Beswick favored the club with
a song entitled Eight Dollars a
Day." :,
The fourth question, GLOW Can
We have Good Flower Garden on
the FARM" This question was dis
cussed by Mrs. Dickinson and sever
al others. Among the thoughts sug-
gested were the place for the garden,
the protecting from fowls, the pre-
paration of the soil, the different
varieties to plant and the time and
conditions under which each variety
should be planted.

is looked upon as charge on the

that the only good Indian is a dead
one, yet there are exceptions.
The tribe of Navajoes, whose reser.
walton in New Mexico and Arizona
borders on southeastern Utah and
southwestern Colorado, numbers near
ly 1000 souls. They are a pastoral
people, herding sheep, goats and
horses over their great arid ranges,
and in a small way cultivating corn
and other grains. Except when ex-
cited by firewater, they are peaceable
and to a degree industrious. The
women are notable blanket weavers
and the men are silversmiths of no
mean ability.
OF late years the Navajoes have
been employed with some consider
able degree of satisfaction as section
men on the Denver & Rio Grande and
other railroads running in close prox-
unity to their reservation. They have
also been engaged by orchardists to
gather fruit, and last season hundreds

called Ship Rock, which looms to the
height Of 1000 feet above the sur

sloping mound, which gives It a tow

The rock derives its name from its
appearance when seen from a certain
direction, when It resembles a full

The Indian legend is that in the dim
