The daily sentinel., 1909-04-09

The death occurred suddenly on
April 1 Blood clot of the heart was
the immediate cause. The deceased
was 40 years of age. He was the
author of several leading text books,
the president of the Southern Pub
fishing Co, of Dallas, and was for
years superintendent of the schools
of the city of Sherman. He was a
close personal friend of Senator Joe
w. Bailey and Gov. Campbell. He
was a historian of considerable note.
He was an ardent Southerner and
true to the traditions of the South
land.
The funeral held in Sherman,
Texas, last Saturday, was one of the
largest attended in the history of
that city.
Theodore Lennon, formerly of the
local Indian school, has been located
in Oklahoma for several years.
Charles b. Hanford's present tour
has been made the occasion of the
most brilliant series of productions

ated. This is saying much, for Mr..
| Hanford is recognized today as

preserves its most worthy traditions
and yet who believes in providing ev-
| cry accessory Indl lnouSIn SidSC

There was large attendance of
the members at the annual meeting
OF the membership of the Presbyter-
ian church held last evening. The
early part of the evening was devot
ed to a sumptuous supper Then fol-
lowed the business meeting presided
over by a. c. Newton. All the re-
ports indicated that the church year
| just closed has been the most pros
porous in the history of the church.
| The membership is now 40S, an in
crease of 1913 during the last year,
which was also the first year of the
pastorate of Rev. ID. Luther Edwards
The Sunday school, brotherhood, aid
| societies and other organizations have
enjoyed remarkable growths. The
| church's finances are in splendid
shape. The annual meeting last night
was naturally marked by much en-
thusiasm. q. B. Mcclure, c.. j. Bar
nett and G.. b. Robinson were chosen
as elders for the 3-year term. o. B.
| Whipple. j. f. Whittemore, r. b.

Roberts were elected trustees.
| Another announcement to the eff
feet that the government is ready to
begin construction work on the High
Line canal as soon as the Water Us
ers' Association has collected stip-
ulated amount of subscriptions, has
been made. When $4,000 in sub
scriptions has been collected the gov
ernment will add $4,000 to this
amount and, work upon the Palisade
tunnel will be started. Then through
out the year the government will ex-
pend amounts equal to collections of
subscriptions made by the Water US
ers' Association. Following out this
plan, it is likely that something like
| 100000 will be spent in construc-
ton work during the present year
j. X. Alexander, special right of way
man for the government, will arrive
in the valley in few days to take
up the work of adjusting the rights
of way for the canal in the Palisade
section.
Last night fair-sized audience
gathered at the Methodist church
and heard the Iowa College Glee Club
and there is no question but what
the entertainment was one of the
finest of its kind ever heard in this
city. The organization is all that
is claimed for it. The score of young
men have remarkable voices, the
| choruses were magnificent in their
harmony and tone and the solo work
was of the highest type. The pro-
gram was well arranged, varied in
n most refreshing and original man
ner. and. in fact, every feature of
the evening was charming The au-
dienoe grew very enthusiastic. Fol-
lowing the concert an informal re-
ception in honor of the young men
was held in the parlors of the church.
Without any foundation whatever
and simply to afford itself an oppor-
tunity to get in another of its whines
the Yellow this morning declared
that 1t was generally reported that
Mayor Wentworth expects to leave
town next week when he quits office
That the Holy Yellow" expects to
engage in policy of bounding and
biting at the heels of men has he
come very apparent during the past
few days. Mayor Wentworth may
leave the city some time in the dis
tant future but that he was making
