Obituary.

Veda Eubanks, daughter of Thomas
and Gertrude Freeland, was born in
Adams county, Ohio, February u, 1887
and died July 30, 1908
She was married to Craig f. Eu.
banks October 16, 1907. To them we're
born one child, Kenneth, whom she
leaves to mourn her loss with husband,
father, mother, three sisters, one
brother, relatives and a host of
friends.
At the early age of eight she united
with the M. e, church of which she
remained a constant member until
her death. oh, how she will be missed
in her home of which she thought
there was none better.
Always watchful and kind to her
husband. Her loss can never be re.
placed. Broken, broken, never to be
repaired. She passed away peace
fully after only a short illness with
no thought of danger.
But alas, she has gone to try the
realities of the never ending future
on which she placed all her hopes and
faith. Gone Gone Never to return.
Dearest veda thou has left us,
And thy loss we deeply eel;
But 'tis God who hath bereft US,
He can all our sorrows heal.

How Mr.. white created DaIny

In the first installment of the
memoirs of the Russian ex-Minister
of War, Gen. Kuropatkin, published
in the September McClure's, is sur
prising story of Russia's breach of
faith with China in the carrying out
of the terms of the treaty of 1902.
Instead of leaving Manchuria by the
spring of 1903, as she had agreed, Rus
sia not only remained, but fortified
herself General Kuropatkin makes
striking charges concerning the part
taken in this by M. Witte, then Minis
ter of Finance.
I'm the early part of 1908" says
Kuropatkin, ''our situation in the Far
East became very involved. In Man
churia--on Chinese territory--enter-
prises involving many millions of
rubles we're undertaken and carried
on by virtue of authority that was
wholly special. The Minister of Fl.

increase the economic Importance of

which carried guns and gunners and

seemed to satisfy the requirements

gardless of the fact that the province

er, M. Witte, without consulting
either the latter or the Minister ol
War, located and created therein the
spacious port of Dalny. The enor
nous sums of money spent there only
lessened the Importance and weak
ened the strength of Port Arthur

the affairs of the Russo-Chinese Bank

"It thus appears that in 19O3 NJ

Obituary.

William Charles, only child of John
w. and Merica Moore, was born near
Mt. Zion, o., July 10, 1903, departed
this life at the home of his grand
mother, Mrs. Henry E. Roads, July Is,
1908, aged FIVE years and FIVE days.
William was an uncommonly bright
little boy and loved by all who knew
him. He had been afflicted for long
time, but he bore his sufferings re-
markably we'll for one so young.
1t seems as though he was conscious
of the fact that his sufferings we're
about at an end, and just short time
before he died he wanted to know of
his papa If he would be well before
night. Yes, Willie was we'll before
night. Just as the sun was sin6ing
he left this earth and its cares behind
to soar into realms of eternal Joy to
be forever with his God.
Willie had heard of that beautiful
land and wished he could go there if
papa and mamma could go too. 1t
seems hard for us to understand why
one so pure and sweet was called so
soon, but let us comfort ourselves with
the thought, THAT though earthly
ties be broken they can be reunited in
heaven" where sorrow or parting
never come.
Little Willie is sadly missed, but
God had need of him to make up the
innumerable hosts of angels that
bedeck the throne of God. 1t is only
a missing link in the chain that binds
US closer to Him and heaven.
Little Willie has left US,
Never in this world to roam,
He has gone to join the angels
In that bright and happy home.
Home isn't home, for Willie is not there
Angels have taken him out of their care,
Dark is their home and vacant his chair,
Home is not home, for Willie is not there.
Two little hands folded on his breast,
| Two little feet laid down to rest,
There he is watching and beckoning come, %
Angels have taken our darling home.

PROF. KENYON RECEIVES
VERY NICE C0MPL IMENT

The annual booklet Just issued by
the Colorado Chautauqua and Sum.
mer school. at Boulder, pays a very
pretty compliment to Prof. Kenyon,
superintendent of Florence city
schools who is the director Of the
school of science at the Chautanqua.
This will be Prof Kenyon's fifth
year at the head of that department.
The article in question says:
superintendent Kenyon has had
charge of the School of Science for
the past four years and his work has
been of such character that there
has risen a strong demand for his
retention in this popular department
of our summer school,
He is one of the best informed
men on scientific subjects in the West
and greets birds, insects. plants,
flowers and rocks as old friends and
acQuaintances. He calls them by
name, tells of their habits and pecu-
larities making of his work the most
enjoyable recreation. 1t will be
hard to imagine more ideal way
to sperd the summer afternoons
than to roam the hills with Prof
Kenyon az a guide and interpreter. "
In addition to being instructor of
science. Prof Kenyon will have
charge Of all scientific excursions out
of Boulder, including drives Among
tho railroad excursions are trips over
the famed Georgetown loop, Grsy's
