FOSTER CENTER

The death angel has once more visited
our midst and taken Mary Belle, the little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Bowen,
Jr., from us. Her funeral was solemnized
Tuesday afternoon at Ip. m. She leaves
mother, father, three sisters, Marion,
Catherine and Matte and two brothers,
Robert and Henry. Much sympathy is
felt for them in their sad hours.
Oh! why was our darling taken so young
and so fair,
When the earth holds so many it better
could spareI
Hard was the blow that compelled us to
part with May Belle.
She like little, fading flower,
Was lying calm and STILL
Her sweet black eyes were closing,
And her little hands were chill.
1t was on that day the Master came,
To gather in his flowers;
He came to gather rosebuds,
That day He gathered ours.
Though our little lamb has left US,
She is safe in Gods own fold;
Safe beside the Gentle Shepherd,
Safe within the gates of gold.
A little rosebud only lent, not given,
To bud on earth and bloom in heaven.

Gen. NJ. G.. Butler Dead.

Gen. M. c. Butler died Wednes.
day night at 11:40 at hospital in
Columbia. About six weeks ago
Gen. Butler went to Columbia to be
treated for inflammatory rheuma-
tism, due to his wound received in
battle. He had lost leg at Brandy
Station, Va. His manned limb
had not bothered him until about
six months ago. He suffered In.
creasingly until he went to Columbia
to be treated and since the middle OF
January has been an inmate of the
hospital. His bedridden condition
caused his kidneys to become afect-
ed and this was the cause OF his
death.
Gen. Butler was born near Green
Vile, March 6, 1886. He married a
daughter of Gov. F. w. Pickens and
became a citizen of Edgefeld, where
his remains were buried.

TOOTH IN TONGUE.
David Mitchell, A Farmer Living
Near Union, Has Remark
able Experience.

able Experience.
To have a tooth in the root OF
ones tongue for nearly fourteen
years without knowing of it's pres
ence, and without it having done any
serious injury is the very remark
able experience of Mr.. David Mitch
ell, farmer who lives in this county
several miles east of this city.
Mr.. Mitchell, who is about forty
years of age, was shot with .3S
calibre pistol in the left jaw about
fourteen years ago, the ball knocking
out one of his teeth, known as the
Bicustid, the ball driving it into the
center of his tongue, where both the
ball and tooth lodged.
About three months after he was
shot, feeling something hard in his
tongue, he went to a physician for
examination, and the doctor extract
ed bullet, thinking that he had
gotten everything. The wound heal
ed completely, and after thirteen
and a half years had elapsed, or just
few days ago, he again felt hard
substance in his tongue and came to
consult a physician here, and DR.. D.
H. Montgomery, on his investigation
found it was the same old tooth that
was lost fourteen years ago. The
tooth was extracted easily and with
out much pain, and now Mr.. Mitchell
is preserving it as an unusual souVe-
nir.-Union Progress.

Preacher Makes Fortune.

Chicago, April ia formal real
estate transfer just made in the rou-
tine of the county recorders Office
reveals the story of Chicago min
lister of the gospel who has gained
fortune Of 100000 during his spare
time. Four years ago he left Chica-
60 with slender means, to nurse a
daughter back to health. To-day he
is the owner of landed estates and
an exclusive metropolitan apartment
building.
The hero of this fairy tale of f.
nance and religion is the Rev. Rich
ard A. Morley, Methodist Episcopal
pastor, who was stationed for several
years in Chicago and Oak Park
church. The story arose in the pur-
chase by the minister of an apart
ment hotel for 100000.
In 1904, Mr.. Morley, in an effort
to save his daughter from tuber-
culosis, exchanged pulpits with a
minister at Las Vegas, N. M. Short
ly afterward he purchased a ranch
near by at a tax sale and this was
the beginning of his property. He
bought more land and sold it at a
large profit, and within two years
was owner of a tract now worth
$4,000. Branching out further,
he purchased a thousand-acre farm
near Kansas City, one in Wisconsin
and two farms in Illinois.
All this time he has never missed
a Sunday in his pulpit nor Wed
nesday evening prayer meeting.
When he first removed to the West,
he says, he did not dream Of entering
into business transactions.

symptom of having been poisoned.
Some Of them, a very few, recover
ed, bat many of them died and

roads until the carcasses were

of the trouble is mere conjecture.
1t may have been alkali water in
the ponds and holes scattered
over the flats on the east side, or
it may have been some poisonou s

The North Platte River Flood.

After being out Of its banks for
six weeks the North Platte river
is just getting back into it's banks
There is still a large body of wat
er going down, and it is quite GER
tails that the water will not get
anything like as low as usual by
the time the snow flies again. 1t
has been a revelation to the peo-
Pile of this valley and especially to
the inhabitants of this town, to
see the river get on a rampage. 1t
had been so many years since it
had overAowed it's banks that the
majority of our people had con-
cluded that the stories of high
water told by the old timers was a
pipe dream. They do not think
SO now. They are prepared to be-
lieve almost anything that may be
told them concerning what the
Platte a do when it gets on a
"high."

Pumping Out Slough.

The city fathers are pumping
ouJ the slough back of the Wolf
Hotel and running the water into
the slough which runs south of
the Presbyterian church. A gas
oline engine, owned by Council
man A. g.. Huntington, attached
to d pump belonging to the $. &
E. Ry., is doing the work in first
class shape. In order to prevent
the spread of miasma oil has been
poured on the standing water in
the town. This will also prevent
the breeding of mosquitoes and
other pestilent flies and water YER
min. The lowering of the water
in the river will also stop the seep-
age into the ponds we may expect
relief from stagnant water in a
short time.

Beaver Creek Irrigation Project.

o. E Shelbourne, one of the en-
gineers connected with the Beaver
creek flats irrigation project was
in town a short time Thursday.
He reports everything progressing
very satisfactory with the survey
ing. The surveyors have cross
sectioned three miles and have
two more located. This is very
tedious work and considering the
unfavorable conditions with which
the engineers have had to contend
with they r very we'll satisfied
with the results obtained to date.
Mr.. w. B. Fry Informs us that
the grading work will start not
later than August LIST, and probab-
ly before that time. @. Wells of
Denver has the contract and as he
has a large outfit good progress
will no doubt be made when act
ual work does start.-Encamp-

Dance Monday Night.

The Base Ball Team gave a
dance Monday night to help make
up the shortage on the game Sun
day. There vas a nice crowd
present and enjoyed a good dance
until 2 a. IN. While they didn't
make much %''every little bit helps
and they were all satisfied with
the results. Snyder's orchestra
furnished the music. The expen-
Sos of the ball game Sunday were
particularly heavy owing to the
fact that the pitcher was hired
and that brought the amount up
considerable after paying the Wis

Casper Not in Danger.

A special dispatch from Caspar
lated June, IS, reads as follows
Published reports in Denver and
bther places to the effect that Cas-
par and this valley are in danger
rom a break in the Pathfinder
dam are said by Supervising En-
gineer Mcconnell to be wholly
without foundation in fact.
Mr. Mcconnell, whose position
is such that he knows more about
the dam than does anyone else,
authorizes the statement that
there is absolutely no danger. In
event that the danger point should
be reached. he said today. it would
be easy to blow out one end of
the dam and save Caspar and
the valley.
The water still has IA feet to
rise before going over the the low
est point and south of the dam
II force of men is at work erecting
a temporary dam that will hold
the water should it raise to this
height and will provide for a fur
ther raise of eight or ten feet.
However the river above the
dam is slowly falling and no such
danger is anticipated.
The rise in the reservoir at the
face of the dam has been less than
eight inches in the twenty-four
hours ending this morning. The
spread of water in the reservoir is
now owe more than 14,0O0 acres,
and if the rise continues at the
present rate it will hold for fifteen
days, but the fall of the river
above will lessen the rise daily, as
t has been doing for the past four
lays.
Nh. Mcconnell is indignant at
&he scare story printed by some of
he papers and says there is pos
lively no foundation for it.
There is no alarm felt here by
apyone in the valley. The river
moderately high but falling
LsIowly.

Small Streams Nearly Driven.

River foreman, Geo. Arnold,
states that all of the small streams,
tributaries of the Platte, will be
clear of timber inside of ten days
and the entire 100000 pieces of
timber will be safely in the river.
He says they have nearly a mil
lion pieces in the Kidding slough
which has beeu of great value in
holding back the timber until
such a time as it could be cared
for at Fl. Steele. There will be
no difficulty he thinks, in getting
the timber all down to Fit, Steele
this year.

Base Ball Game Sunday.

Hanna and Saratoga met on the
Saratoga diamond Sunday and de-
livered a good game. Saratoga
was the victor by a score of IL to
4 and didn't play the last half of
the ninth inning. Up to the fifth
inning it stood l to l and looked
like it was going to be a close
game. The Hanna boys put up a
good game but were no match for
Saratoga when she got warmed up.
The weather was all that could be
asked and the grand stand was
nearly full. The band furnished
music for the occasion.

Mr.. HARRISON Visits SARATOGA.

NJ. l.. HARRISON, who used to be
one of Saratoga's most prominent

friends here, of which he has a
large number, He says Saratoga
has improved so per cent. since
he was here last and has great
confidence in it's future. Mr..

able real estate here and expects
to realize a good figure for it in
the course of time. He is engaged

Billy Mason Broke Down.

Billy Mason, the famous racing
stallion belonging to Turnbull g.
Hunter, broke down in his left
front leg Sunday morning in his
try out on the track. He broke
down in this same leg in 1906 on
the Overland track in Denver and
while he got over it sufi GENTLY to
start in several races since that
time, last Sundays break will
stop him for some time. He was
training to 20 to Rawlins, aud a
great number of people from here
who were going ver to see him
run are greatly disappointed.
He was at one time one of the
worlds fastest horses for half-mile
dash. He started in seventeen
races in Denver IN 1905 and won
first money in fifteen of them,
making a record hard to beat.
There are several of his colts in
the valley at this time and they
nave made a good showing SO far.

hart Mining Company, which
owns the splendid copper proper
ty in Elk mountain, came in from
Oklahoma and Denver Monday
and went out Tuesday for a visit
to the mine. The party is COM

wife and son, Frederick Beck,
DR.. Enock and A. r. Newport,

The mine will be thoroughly
inspected and the plan for future
development of the plant will be
decided on while at the mine, or
shortly afterward. The company
have one of the most promising
copper properties any where in
the district and it is close enough
to market to warrant the shipment
of ore to Denver for smelling.
