Obituary.

CoY-At Occidental, California,
Feb. 21St, 1908, William Dickey
Coy, aged Is years, months and
Is days.
Dick" as he was always called
by those who knew him best, was
the only son of William B. and Effie
L. (Proctor) Coy, who are we'll
known to many of the readers of
the JOURNAL, Mr.. and Mrs. Coy hav-
ing made an extended visit in and
about RIVER Falls the past fall.
He was a boy of more than ordi-
nary ability. He graduated from the
Grammar Grade when eleven years
of age, and as he could not be
granted a diploma before having
passed his twelfth birthday he wait
ed year, then again passing the
examination, he entered the Santa
Rosa High School, completing the
first half year the middle of Deem
Der last. Two days before the open
ing of the spring term he was taken
sick with "Bright's disease" and
was sick with that dreadful malady
barely seven weeks, and while at
tended by the best medical skill that
could be obtained, there was no
time when the ravages of the disease
could for an instant be checked.
His funeral was on the 22nd of
February, held in the M. E. Church
at Occidental, of which he was
faithful and devoted member. The
church was filled TO it's utmost capa-
city, as Dick was we'll known in
the community and dearly loved by
all. He was laid to rest in the
beautiful "Druids Cemetery" just
east of town, where to the west the
eye catches the glimmering sheen
of the broad Pacific and the ear the
rustling murmur of the winds
through the tall red woods and frs
of the east range, and with the most
beautiful flowers that only Califor
MIA can produce, with his last words
sounding in our ears, It's all right.
But there is a lonely home in the
valley below, a vacancy in a fond
fathers, mothers and sisters heart
that can never be filled; no, not in
this world, and | must say the aged
grandparents feel that the burden
is more than they can carry, Xxx

Large Industry Considered.

There was ar important meeting
of the 5000 club held in the Odd Eel
lows hall Wednesday evening TO
meet representatives of the ]. l..
Owens Co. of Minneapolis. This
company started business over
twenty years ago in the manufacture
of tanning mills and has been so
successful in the marketing of its
manufactures that it now has an an
nual business of a quarter of mil
lion dollars with assets of half a
million of dollars. The company has
never before been in SO flourishing
a condition but lack of facilities,
labor problems and other difficulties
presented by the environments of
large city have suggested to
them to look for better facilities
than they now have. The represen-
tatives of the company, Mr.. D. w.
Parsons, general manager and Mr..
Bayer, the company attorney, were
introduced TO the Club by Mayor
White, and gave an account of the
growth and business of the company
and the facilities which would be
required in order to carry on their
business in a new location. Though
the company started out in the manu-
facture of tanning mills it now pro-
duces over twenty other implements
used in agriculture, in the manu-
facture of which over three hundred
hands are employed and a plant
valued at $l5O,O00 is used. The re-
representatives. of the company were
not in position TO say whether Riv-
er Falls afforded the facilities which
they required until they had looked
over the situation, after which it
was decided that meeting should
be called ard the proposition taken
up again if the conditions were ia
vorable. AS the plant would sup
port about fifteen hundred people
it would mean employment for many
in the city and also increase the
growth of RIVER Falls through the
families which would be brought
here in connection with the work, it
is to be hoped that favorable con-
clusion can be reached by which the
plant can see it's way clear to change
it's location to River Falls. The
meeting was very largely attended
by representative citizens who mani
tested a great deal of interest in the
project. Though called by the 5000
Club the meeting was an open one
to which all the citizens of River
Falls were invited.

Considerable interest is felt in the
project of manufacturing bee keep
ers' supplies in this city, an enter
prise for which Mr.. Putnam has been
working for the past ten or eleven
years. Finding that his own capital
was hardly sufficient for doing bust
ness economically he has succeeded
in interesting several other gentle
men in the proposed plan and a
meeting was held at his Office last
Saturday to take steps towards or
ganizing a corporation. 1t was
found that 100 shares of fifty dollars
each had been practically subscribed
for and it was determined by those
present to organize a corporation
and make a start. Messrs. Smith,
Ensign and Bailey were chosen as
committee to go ahead and prepare
articles of association and have
them properly recorded. Mr..
Knowles presented draft which
was practically accepted by those
present. If success crowns the
efforts of those taking an interest in
the matter, business will be carried
on here which will give healthful
and fairly lucrative employment to
quite a number of our citizens and
afford a market for some timber
which is used now only for firewood.
1t may have also the effect of in
creasing the interest of farmers in
bee culture which has proven a
profitable occupation in m any
places.

Trinity Guild will meet as usual
next Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 at
the home of Mrs. F. A. Howe. A
full attendance is desired.

March 4th of this week was the
first day of Lent, the season of fast
ing and devotion annually observed
by the Apostolic or historical
churches for the forty days before
Easter. The word Lent comes from
a Saxon word for Spring which is
connected with the word lengthen
because the days noticeably grow
longer in the Spring-Lent was the
fast of the "lengthening days.
The origin of the season is uncer-
tain, many ascribe it as the result
of the words of Christ, the days
shall come when the bridegroom
shall be taken away from them,
then shall they fast in those days.
We learn from the history Of the
Church that the fast originally be-
gan on Good Friday, the day of the
Cruci6xion, and lasted for forty
hours, then it was extended TO cover
the period of instruction for candi-
dates who were to be baptized on
Easter Even, and lasted thirty-six
days. This fast was made binding
on the Church by the First Ecumen-
ical Council, held at Nicea in 325 A.
D. In the seventh century it was
heightened and the fast now extends
from Ash Wednesday to Easter
Even, period Of forty days exclu-
sive of the Sundays, which being
always festivals are Sundays "in"
Lent, not of Lent. The name Of
the first day is derived from the old
English custom of placing ashes on
the heads of the faithful on that day
as sign of penitence, In the prim
tive church this was part of the
penance imposed on those who had
lapsed from their Christian duties.
The penitent, clothed in sack-cloth
and bare-footed appeared before the
Bishop at the door of the church,
and the Bishop sprinkled them with
holy water and put ashes on their
heads and then assigned to them
their penance. When this was per-
formed the penitent was once more
admitted to Communion.
The catholic and liturgical church
es now observe the season by special
services and the exercise of the
duties Of prayer, fasting and aims
giving. 1t is also marked among
them by cessation of all society
events, publicly given, such as
dances and card-parties or gather
ings of purely social nature. The
protestant churches are also begin
ming to observe the fast more or less
in the spirit if not in the letter and
special classes in Bible study, and
services throughout holy week are
being held in many places. No
doubt the season would be a great
benefit if it were generally observed
by everyone and worldly rush and
distractions were given up for a
time,

TO STOP TATTooING IN NAVY.
German Authorities Find 1t Is a Means
of Transmitting Disease.

The practice of tattooing on the
bodies of bluejackets, so widespread in
all navies, and more so in the Amer1-
can and British navies than in others,
has just received a severe blow from
leading Hamburg physician called to
attend a sailor of the German battle
ship Deutschland, who was suffering
from a mysterious wasting disease.
The sick man, with others of his
messmates who Joined with his only
a year ago, permitted one of the
older seamen to tattoo on their breasts
the picture of their ship as a souvenir
of their period of service. Shortly
afterward the young sailor went on
the sick list. The ships doctor, not
being able to effect cure. he consult
ed a specialist, who decided that the
patient was suffering from. cuticular
tuberculosis, and on investigation 1t
was discovered that one of the other
recruits on whom the tattoolng needles
had been used Immediately before
hand had been afflicted with the dis
ease since childhood. Both men have
since been discharged from the navy
as unfit for further service.
The specialist reported to the au-
thorities that other and even more
virulent diseases could be trans ;n t,s;a
from one person to another In TINS
way, and the naval authorities are now
doing their utmost to discourage the
practice of tattooing.
A Dusseldorf doctor has discovered
a simple and painless method of re-
moving tattoo marks without leaving
scars. After injecting a pafnkiller
around the tattooed surface he makes
an incision and raises the skin con-
| tanning the colored substance. which,
as a rule, does not penetrate deeply.
He then entirely punches out the ink
with a many pointed instrument, or
scrapes it away from the inside with
a lancet, and then replaces the skin.

ICY Leland is such a modest man
about himself you ought to dig up
some of his history and print it, re-
marked an old time citizen to a State
Journal reporter the other day.
And then he proceeded to tell some
things about Cyrus Leland, now aspir-
ing to be governor of Kansas, and
those things form the basis of this
article.
The idea of Cyrus Leland-"Old Cy"
as a modest man probably hadn't oc-
Cured to the average citizen of Kan
sas, because no man has been given
more newspaper notoriety in Kansas
during the past 40 years than Cy Lee
land. Nevertheless. Leland is not a
horn-blower; he is a man of few
words and what has been printed has
been mainly Leland as viewed by 9TH
ers, not Leland as advertised by him
self.
There was prevalent in Kansas a few
years ago a very decided opinion that
Cyrus Leland was an individual whose
hoofs and horns were only partially
concealed by the refinements of civili-
cation. But this wasn't the way they
regarded Cy Leland at home in Doni-
phan county, where he has lived the
best part of his long life in Kansas
And that isn't the way they feel toward
Cy Leland in his family circle. You
can pretty nearly size up mans per-
sonal characteristics by the opinion of
his neighbors and those who know him
best.
For 40 years Cy Leland has been do
ing kind turns to his neighbors in Troy
and in Doniphan county. His political
machine in Doniphan county is based
on the personal regard of his constitu-
ents who have been keeping him in the
legislature for years. Many people
have moved west from Doniphan coun-
