In Memcriam.

After nearly four months OF pain and
suffering, patiently endured, Mr.. G. A. F.
Poole quietly and peacefully fell asleep
on Monday, August ID, at II O'Clock
am, at his home, Poole, La.
All that was mortal was laid to rest
in the Sutton Cemetery, near Big
Springs, favorite camping spot forty
years ago, when game was plentiful,
and where, in the prime Of his splendid
manhood, he engaged in his favorite
sport-deer hunting.
1t was his own request that he be per-
mitted to sleep his last long sleep on the
lonely hillside in the shadow of the
solemn pines, where the ever restless
winds will chant mournful requiem.
George Andrew Franklin Poole was
born in Giles County, Tenn, November
Is, 1880, and of family of several
children only one survives-Mrs. A. w.
Moser of Ballinger, Texas.
His brothers were lost or persisted
during the war. He passed through
that eventful period unscathed and later
helped to bear the brunt Of the dark
days of the reconstruction.
1t was Just such strong characters who
laid the foundation of our Louisiana of
to-day, and enables US to profit by the
hardships which they endured for their
children and grandchildren.
! Mr.. Poole left his Tennessee home
when boy OF about seventeen years
and went to New Orleans, from which
place he journeyed to Texas. During
the early SOS he came to Bossier Parish,
where he has resided ever since an
honored and respected citizen.
! During 1857 Mr.. Poole was united in
marriage to Mrs. Elizabeth Bates Bry-
ant, who survives him. He leaves six
children : Mrs. Ophelia Atkins, Mrs.
AL Moss, Mrs. T. D. Council, Mrs.
H. f. Atkins, Mrs. H. L. Alison and
Mr., Robert Poole and fourteen grand
children.
To these grief stricken ones the writer
extends deepest sympathy, and ever ard
anon will the beautiful thoughts that
are reflected in these lines echo and re-
echo through their sorrowing hearts:
ooh, for the touch Of vanished hand,
And the sound of voice that is STILL =
To the Ali Wise One we must turn fol
comfort, for He is indeed the healer OF
all ills and is ever merciful to His
4 children.

Mr.. G. A. F. Poole passed away at his
home at Poole on Tuesday OF last week,

months. Mr.. Poole was one Of the oldest

Cemetery, a large concourse of relatives
and friends being present to pay their
last sad tribute to the dead.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Frederick G.
Eberhardt, alias Otto Mueller, con-
fessed this afternoon to shooting Anna
Luther, whom he married at Newark,
near Islip, n j. in April. 1908, accord
ing to the statement made by the
Brooklyn police.
He said he killed her because she
learned he had another wife and
threatened to prosecute him for big
amy. This is believed to establish the
identity of the skeleton Of the woman
found near Is1ip with a bullet hole in
the skull.
Gebhardt, or Mueller, was arrested
at the Waldorf Astoria last night
where he has been living with wife
and two children under the name OF
Gebhardt Mrs. Gebhardt told the po-
lice she is the eighth woman her hus-
band has married. The police this af-
ternoon are investigating the fate of
the other seven alleged wives.

VETS To

WILL TAKE NO PART IN
THE LOCAL OPTION
CAMPAIGN,
At Meeting Last Night They
Decide to Leave Fight
to the Drys.

| Another surprise was sprung last
| night in the local option movement
when announcement was made, follow
| ing Il meeting of the ''wets" held in
/ Germania hall, that the leaders of that
| side of the question would take but lit
| tie part in the coming campaign, pre-
ferring to leave the matter in the hands
of citizens and business men, j. Nj.
Fielder was given authority to appoint
Il committee to devise the best method
of looking after the details. but it was
predicted will not be carried on by the
liquor forces.
Although no information would be
given out this afternoon, it was inti-
mated that the campaign would be
formally launched tomorrow and that
things would be interesting up to the
date set for the special election. No
attack upon the names attached to
the petition filed with the city clerk
/ has yet been made, and it is barely
possible that the "wets" will waive
this possible means of blocking the is
sue, as it seems to be the general feel
ing that the question should be per-
mitted to come before the voters for
immediate settlement.
Just what the campaign is 70 con-
sist Of, and how it is to be carried on
is as yet a matter of conjecture, but
there are probabilities that arrange
ments have been made for presenting
the issues from the standpoint of the
Taxpayer rather than from the view
point of a wet advocate.
When adjournment was taken last
night it was with the understanding
that another meeting would be held at
the call of the president. This meet
ing will be held to ratify the selection
of the committee by the chairman.
To date the dries have not carried
the fight into the pulpite. Yesterday
the subject was referred to in a general
way but none of the ministers of the
city, it is understood. preached SER
mon on local option.
The seemingly disinterested attitude
of the saloon men last night has
thrown a wet blanket on the prospects
for a hot campaign. One of the dries
stated last night that anything the
saloon men may do will in no way de-
tract from the Whirlwind fashion they
were going to make the fight which on
their part will be warm one.

of the gravest portent, a seeming ad-

Judse Brents granted continuation
of the case. When the question was
brought up this morning Dale Preston
stated to Mr.. Gose that the hearing
had better be set for this afternoon,
