Mrs. Cynthia Newell WAY.

Cynthia Clarinda Newell was born
June %. 1923, in West Burke, on the
old Newell homestead, now owned by
DR.. A. H. Jenkins. She received her
education at the district school of her
native town, after which she became
teacher for short time. Later she
went to Manchester, n. H., to work
in the cotton mills, as did so many
young women of those early days.
March 6, 1850, she was married to
Erastus Way of Sutton and went to
live on the Way farm on the North
Ridge. The young people cared for
Mr.. Ways parents during her lifetime,
and then kept the home for many
years. One son, Emerson A.. and a
daughter. ida, now Mrs. H. M. Powers,
were borf to them. In 1870 they left
the farm, and came to West Burke,
where Mr.. Way and his son went into
the hardware business. Mrs. Way was
always strong active woman until
the death of her son in 1900, after
which her health began to break. At
ter the death of Emerson Way the
business was sold to the Hickie Broth
ers, and his wife purchased the resi-
dence which she now occupies, taking
her father and mother with her to her
new home. They remained there for
three years, after which they went to
live with their daughter, Mrs. Powers,
where they remained until their death.
Mr.. Way died in August. 1905, but his
wife fingered. very feeble in health
most of the time, until Monday, May
8, when she entered into her long rest.
The funeral occurred Wednesday after
noon. Rev. G. H. Wright officiating
Three selections were rendered by
quartette consisting of Mrs. E. ].
Heath, Miss Myrtle Aldrich, Messrs.
F. D. Burns and H. c.. Colby. Many
beautiful flowers bore silent testimony
to the love and respect felt by rela-
tives and friends for the deceased.
The interment was in Hillside GEM
etery beside her husband. She leaves
beside her daughter, Mrs. H. M. Pow
ers, and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Emma
Way, two grandsons, Arthur and Carl
Way, half sister, MIS- D. @. Wood
ruff of st. Johnsbury Center, and a
sister and half brother in the West,
beside few other relatives. She
lived through life's long day, doing as
best she could that which was assigned
her. Through the glad morning she
mingled work and play, pausing now
and then to gather flower by the way,
during the strain and heat of the noon.
tide she carried her part cheerfully,
but when the shadows of evening be-
gan to lengthen her feet grew weary,
and her once busy hands were often
| idle. Her mind was always keen and
active, but as she drifted nearer and
nearer to the harbor of eternity it be-
came clouded at times, and those who
loved her best, although they will miss
her sadly. cannotsbut1 fee. thatiit was
time for her to go. Shefhad lived her
life, she had done her work. and she
fell asleep, to wake in the morning
: that has no clouds, the beginning of
the day, that has no night.

Will Fenton will probably be on
the ticket for a third term.
Prof. Oliver is reputed to be
ready to try it Tor the third
time, Lou Edwards will also be
a candidate. Lord will not be a
candidate, As the law forbids a
third term, but John Hutchings,
the present county clerk will
try for his place according to

II. J. Whitaker has always been
very kind to the public and las
permitted them to fish and hunt
around the old mill site. This
has been a source of pleasure to
him but the people have taken
the advantage of him every time
opportunity presented itself.
They have been hunting a d
shooting in the pasture with his
stock, have left gates open and
let his cattle out and have paid
no attention to the signs he put
up. Unless they make an effort
to give Tom a square DEAL he
will stop all fishing and hunting
on this place. This is a warning
to you.

NORTH DAKOTAN
in CENSUS CASE
ASSISTANT. SECRETARY. OF CON-
MERGE AND LABOR M'HARG
FIGURES IN DEPART
MENTAL INVESTI.
CATION.

Washington, May IS-Several north
western men are likely to figure prom
inently in the Investigations of the
administration of the census Office as
a result OF the statements recently
made by Senator McCumber of North
Dakota. They are Ormsby McHarg,
also of North Dakota, assistant secre-
tary of the department of commerce
and labor, who made the first inves-
tigation which resulted In the recent
differences between Secretary Nagel
and Director North, former Director
William r. Merriam and Representa-
tive Tawney, chairman of the house
committee on appropriations.
The present investigation relates to
the tabulating machines to be used for
summing up work of the enumera-
tors. Secretary Nagal has had some
inventors at work to see If another
machine could not be produced which
could be operated at reduced cost, and
it is said that results alreay obtained
indicate that a machine can be pro-
duced that will save the government
in the neighborhood of 100000 dur
ing the census period.
Former Governor Merriam, accord
ing to published hearings on the CEN
sus bill before the committees of both
houses, is president of the company
controlling the machine formerly used
and therefore is interested in the mat
| ter to the extent of knowing where
his company will land in this case.
Mr.. Merriam did not become in
terested in this company until after
he had relinquished the Office of di-
rector of the census, when the CEN
sus Office was made permanent bu-
reau of the department. Of commerce
and labor.
Representative Tawney was re-
| sponsible for the insertion of a para
graph in one of the appropriation
bills authorizing an investigation to
ascertain whether less expensive
| tabulating machine could not be pro-
| duced.
Nothing sensational is promised as
a result of this investigation, as 1t is
merely a question whether a good
machine can be produced for the use
of the government by which a saw
| ing can be erected.
