at the home of his mother about one
mile southeast of Lesterville at about
5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Mr..
Block was 81 years Of age and was
raised from childhood on the farm

great beyond, from where no traveller
ever returns. He left here when =
mere boy and has put in most Of the
time since working at or near Wagner,

had been suffering from . deadly
disease. the ravages of which medical
skill could not check because il had Sc
cured too firm = grip on his life before
he sought aid. He came here little
over q week ago in q critical condition
and was taken TO the home Of his
mother. and everything possible was
done to save his life; but the grim
reaper, death. had too firm a grip or
this young life for medical aid to be OF
any avail. He had spent several
months at Hot Springs. s. d. before
coming here, but this did not seen
to check the ravages of the deadly
disease he contracted.
The funeral was held from the Cath.
Ollie church yesterday forenoon and the
remains were laid to rest in the Polish
cemetery three miles south of town.

HAS A HIRSUTE CROP
Thus Learns Soul ptor Who Carved Likeness of Orvlle
AS That Of Wilbur So His Work
Goes For Naught

NEW YORK. March 15.-In France
they have an amiabIe way of presenting
everybody who lifts himself or herself
above mediocrity with a piece of ribbon
or a statue, or something. Wilbur
Wright. who has been exciting the lively
Gallo imagination TO strenuous efforts
Of appreciation. has been the subject of
much of this good viii.

when he is greeted by Uncle Sans inn

Plan Statues
Among these various ma nifestations
OF delight over his picturesque sky
larking there will be a s.atuary group
from the Aero Club. of Sarthe. These
gentlemen were aroused to such pitch
OF JOY over his performances that they
decided TO present him with a group
representing the Wright brothers learn
ing the secret # fight from most i'm
perial-Iooking eagle.
France is almost as familiar with the
various photographed likenesses of the
modest Mr. Wilbur as We are familiar
with the teeth and eyeglasses of the
organizer Of the Ananias Club. Natur-
ally. therefore, when the ambitious
sculptor who was commissioned TO
make the group came to work out his
idea he made Mr.. Wilbur's statesque
counterfeit just as bald-headed as his
pictures.
This was in correct fulhlmeEt Of those
ideals which the realistic school in art
inculcates- But not having seen Mr.
Orviile Wright. the brother, who has
lately landed in France. he was at a
loss as TO how to proceed. Finally he
dug up a photograph somewhere, which
