Obituary---Mrs. D. G. Garner

1.-The sweetest lives are those to duty wed
Whose deeds. both great and small.
Are close-knit strands of one unbroken
thread.
Where love ennObleS all,
The world may sound no trumpet, ring no
bells;
The book of life the shining record t. lis"
Mary Ann M Hodges, second
daughter of Henry w. and Susan
Hodges was born December %, 1841
at the old Hodges home five miles
southwest of Lancaste', which her
father homesteaded in the year
1926.
All her earlier years were applied
to the strenuous duties that fell
alike to older and younger hands in
those pioneer days, her education
being obtained from the meager OPP
portunit1es afforded in the little log
schoolhouse near the Hurricane,
the celebration of whose history
was one of the notable features of
Lancaster's Homecoming We
remember that Mrs. Il Garner was
one of the most interested and in
teresting participants of that me-
morable meeting.
Possessing an inquiring soul and
a determined spirit; loving history
and early taking deep interest in all
political questions, the young girl
devoured all reading matter along
those lines that came her way She
was PEI sistent, and early training
of memory gave her a store of
knowledge that made her, in any
walk of after life, reliable, ca
pable and most useful woman She
became a successful teacher
When the Civil War broke out,
young as she was, she became, at
home. one of the noble defenders of
her country's flag. When fathers,
sons, brothers and lovers marched
away, she went about among the
desolated homes, helping, cheering,
comfort1ng-nOt only those left be-
hind, but sending many a ch5ery
letter to the boys who were wearing
the blue. She was born patriot.
At the close of the war she went to
st. louis, thence to Troy, Lincoln
County, Mis-, ouri, and there engaged
in teaching. Of course, at that
time she could encounter nothing
but great hostility towards all the
North. She had some thrilling ex-
periences. At one time she was
rescued from a grave danger, riding
for miles on horseback with a guard
we'll armed, under cover of the
night, because she had endeavored
to introduce the McGuffey Second
Reader where she was teaching, a
book then universally used IN Wis
consin schools. Many of the young

Members of the various state leg
islStures have been asked by the
New York and Chicago papers for
opinions upon the proposed amend
ment to the constitution which will
permit OF a national income tax.
The sentiment as set forth in this
canvass seems to be very largely in
favor such tax. although 1T is by no
means certain that it really reflected
the sentiment of the people. TWEEN
ty six replies were received from
Wisconsin members, OF which "a
were in favor. one opposed and one
nOn-cOmmittal.

the smaller towns of the South,

After her return to Grant county,
she was married Nov. %, 1859 to
Dawald @. Garner, a soldier of the
civil war Tceethtr they have
lived for nearly forty years, always
in or near Lancaster Five child
rem were born to them, two OF
whom went ia infancy to the Better
Land
Mrs. Garner was loyal wife, a.
noble mother, looking well to the
ways of her household. Yet the
duties of wlfehood and then added,
yet welcomed and unneglected cares
OF motherhood, did not lessen her
interest in all the leading topics of
her country. She kept in tOnch
with current affairs Especially
was she in sympathy with the wi
dows and orphans of such, ex-
employing by energetic deeds her
interest in them, repeatedly apply
ing her time and strength to the
hunting up of records, and the Sc
curing of proofs whereby pensions
we've secured.
During the periods of the old Set
lers' meetings IN the county, she was
as deeply interested in the proceed
ings as the oldest inhabitant, taking
her aged mother as long as she
lived, and even calling meetings
for the same at her own home.
She became one of the earliest
members of the Woman's Relief
Corps in Lancaster, and in 1899,
was sent by the order to Fhiladel-
phia as delegate to the National
Convention While there, she be-
came interested in the organization
known as Ladies of the G.. A r
and was largely instrumental in
forming the Circle in this city, of
which she has ever been most en-
thuslastic, efficient and helpful
worker In this, the Gen. Calls
Circle No II. she had, at various
times, held offices of trust and no.
nor, having been president. senior
vice, national inspector, and at the
time of her demise was chaplain.
She also was member of the W.
r. c. of Bloomington. She also was
a consistent member of the Congre-
gational church, reader of the
Blessed Book, and firm believer in
Him who "doeth all things we'll"
She had strong convictions, and
possessed that courage of the soul
which makes it fearless of conse-
quences in the presence of OPPOSE
ton. With all due regard to those
in authority, she was assertive, de-
cisive, standing as firm as rock in

which she thought right. This tri-
butte will not seem over wrought to
those who knew her courage, her
consistency, her unwavering dis
charge of duty and her worthiness.
Physically as we'll as mental. she
had been a strong woman.
Failure of health began two years
ago. But she would not be an in
valid Although her physician
knew that she was suffering from
an lncurable ailment, he did not tell
her, and she persisted in thinking
that her trouble was only tempo
rary. And when stricken dowu she,
with characteristic courage made a
wonderfully brave fight with the De
strOyer. Yet, when told that death
was inevitable, her Christian faith
triumphed, and she said, my trust
is in Jesus. am willing and glad
now to 60" And after mary weeks
prostratiOn-som some of them full of
great suffering, she answered the
final summons on the morning of
July 81, 1909, at the residence of
her daughter Florence in this city.

At the Novelty.

With comedy of the new and refresh
ing variety predominating, the Novelty
theater this week, has one of its strong
est vaudeville hits of the season. A bet
ter balanced and higher grade bill has
not been seen in the city in many moons.
And if the attendance at the opening
performances Monday, serves as any
criterion, the bill should prove great
drawing card during the week.
The big hit of the bill is Minnie st.
Claire, who in the eccentric makeup of
the backwoods country lass, plays her
stunt, THE Girl from Missouri" This
is a monologue and it is safe to say
that no monologue of 20 minutes dura-
ton has ever attracted so much APP
plause as has the one of Miss St.
Claire She is about the funniest wo-
man ever seen in Topeka. James r.
Waite and his company in a comedy
drama AT Lighthouse Point" make
another big hit. Mr.. Waite plays the
role of a kind hearted old seaman and
never fails to do justice to the comedy
lines in his part. An interesting hand
balancing act is furnished by the De
Van brothers, which borders on the
comedy variety. Two well trained dogs
assist in the act The Coleys have a
unique sketch entitled Fun in a Penny
Arcade" which teens with hunror. Ted
Lenore sings an interesting series of
parodies and has clever uonoIogue.
Karl Hummel sings "Goodby Annie
Laurie" and is assisted by the Novelty
male quartette which receives the glad
hand. The viascope shows some inter
esting pictures of the big Marathon
race at London last summer.

The much delayed report of the in
surance committee. C. F. Hardy chair
man, was read and placed on file. There
nave been mutterings among the mem
Ders of the school board on account of
the nigh insurance carried on the To-
peka school buildings. At the present
time the school board is carrying $685.
300 insurance on the % school buildings
included within the city limits. This
IS 1913 per cent of the valuation of the
taxpayers are paying premiums
amounting to $7,375.
j. D. Norton has had a resolution
ready to present for a number of
months asking that the insurance be
reduced $1,000 but it has been held up
pending the insurance committees re-
port. During half hours discussion
OF the insurance proposition, G. F.
Hardy made a rather startling state
ment in. answer to the argument that
Topeka school buildings are practically
fire proof. THE members OF this board
may be honest in their belief that our
school buildings are fire proof, but say
to you our school buildings are wood
piles surrounded by brick walls"
The discussion developed the fact
that there is no insurance on the Cen
trail Park building now under course of
and the insurance COM
nittee was instructed to Immediately
place $4,000 in policies on the building.
DIR. Mitchell introduced resolution
looking to the fumigation of every
school building in the city at least once
IN every month of the school year. He
produced funigating apparatus
which sells at 25 cents each and recon-
nended that they be adopted for the
purpose as one of them will fumigate a

st. Louis line of the Rock Island 1t
is the intention of the Missouri Paci-
fic in the future to handle its freight
trains between Kansas City and
Greenwood over the Rock Island
tracks on account of the heavy grades
and curves between Independence and
Greenwood By using the Rock Is
lands line between these points much
heavier trains can be handled over
the main line This will also greatly
improve the passenger service of the
