News is also meager from Leaven-
worth except that they are building
a new park over there. What they
need is a manager who knows a little
bit about the game. Lew Armstrong
gave the Convicts mighty good
team one season. He is loose now
and it wouldn't be a bad plan for
the Leavenworth team to get busy

working hard and if he is as good at

open up their wallets to Johnny he
will give them a good team.

with him to higher and responsibl BILE
position a training that is of i'm

front him. And, let it be understood
in this country, it is the workingman
who starts at the bottom who climbs
up to the big posts at the top of the
industrial concern and the big rail-
road system. The day of favoritism
or of family influence has goLe.
Advancement to the very top depends
solely upon the man himself.

That was thirty-nine years ago. Then
got an idea l wanted to learn tele-
graphy. 1t was that which controlled
the shutting Of trains over the roads.
They used wood burning locomotives
in those days. and it was the custom
to unload this fuel haphazard along
the tracks and later have it stacked up
in piles. Well, agreed to pile wood

He was q very industrious, honest,
upright, kind hearted man. especially
dear to those who knew him best, al
ways ready to help those in need. al
ways of kind, pleasant disposition.
he won for himself many dear friends.

procuring the best physicians, doing
everything human power could do,
till death came to his relief Aug. 26,
1908.
Death is sad at all times but doubly
so when the subject is stricken down
in the prime of life with SO bright a
future before him. He lived good
life, faithful to his God. and to the
church, being regular attendant of
the little church near his home which
was but recently built under his own
careful supervision. Most of the ma
terial being sawed in his mills, and

for the building of the church.
Funeral services were held from the
church Saturday at IL o'clock a. m.
services being conducted by Rev. II.
Williams of McGregor, and the re-
mains laid to rest in the family lot in
the Rossville cemetery.
The funeral cortege was one of the
largest ever known at that place, at.

he was held. And thus we say fare
well to one whom we trust is
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
There by his love DER Swallowed

Correct STYLES.

Best quality of material, perfect
tailoring, and other equally good
things. are all to be found in the Ben
Bear clothing. You will find all
wool garments, made by the best
clothing manufacturers in the
country, and you will find all these
things and more lower prices than
anywhere else. That's why people like
to trade at Ben Bears.
