Death of Il Clergyman.

Death of a Clergyman.
The first news that reached Frostburg
last Saturday morning was dispatch
from Annapolis telling of the death at }
1t. m. of Rev. Alexander Campbell
Haverstick, rector OF St. Margarets Epls-
copal Church, near that city, after an
illness Of nearly three months. The end,
however, came somewhat suddenly. as
the family and friends had felt for sew
eral days that he was improving.
Mr. Havcrstick was born in Philadel-
phia, Pa. September %, 1870, and was
in the 59th year of his age.
As a graduate of Lphigh University,
he became. first, a civil engineer, and
did much work in that line in various
portions of his native State.
In 1883 he entered the priesthood of
the Episcopal Church and st. John 5
Church, of this place, became his first
charge. Here he wrought for p years,
succeeding in the promotion of enter
prlscs, material and spiritual, which Will
long mcmorialiZr his name. He was the
prime mover in the construction of the
church which now shelters the congre-
cation. Built under his Inspiration,
after his plans, with limited resources,
it is one of the most substantial editices

Plans on Foot to Erect Notable Mon
ment to Mark the Spot Where
1862 Rescue Took Place.
COL. TOM ORR HAS A PLAN.
Picnic Park Suggested. Monument TO be Unvailed at Old
Settlers Picnic This Year.

And still the good things loom up for Molrdge. For many years it
has been the desire Of Col. T. G., Orr, of lIookingS, :. d., who is
well known at this place, to erect n suitable monument to mark the
identical spot where that 1862 Indian rescue took place. The place has
been known for a long time and many of the old settlers have joined
in the hope with Col. Orr that this may be done.
Among those most interested in the project is b. J. Olsen, one of
our prominent men, old settlers and one Of the few who were lrlvll-
eyed to be present. when the authentic locating of the spot took place.
This spot is only about two miles from MObridge. The plan that has
been suggested is a good one and our people should not overlook it.
II would give us an excellent pAcesto held public gatherings and meet
.ngs and be close enough to town to be easily reached. In fact We
doubt not but that the Milwaukee would run special trains on such
days to their siding at Points which would leave the crowds only Il
short distance from the spot.
Let's get together and talk this thing over. There are many sug-
gestiOns to be made.
Following is a communication received by Mr.. Olsen from Col. Orr:

Mar. 9th 1909.
Mr.. B, J, Olsen,
Mobridge, :. d.

Mr.. B. J, Olsen,
Mobridge, :. ID.
My Dear Bertal:
Your kind favor Of Feb. 24th ]
found on my return from Pierre
Saturday, and ] was more than
pleased to hear Of your safe return
from Norway and to know that
you had such q pleasant trip and
a nice visit with your father and
mother and other relatives.
Now about tie old settlers.
enclose you herewith a rough draft
of a proposed monument to those
friendly Indians that rescued the
white people on your land in 1862
I had quite q good deal to do with
this while in Pierre and we asked
for $500. to mark historical spots
in South Dakota, did not get but
$3.50. Mr.. Robinson, the
Secretary of the Historical Society,
made this draft. The state will
furnish the shaft with the in
scriptions, to be eight, twelve OF
sixteen feet high, according to base,
There will be futher inscriptions
on this stone on the other side,
giving the names of the Indians
on one side and the names of the
two woman and four children on
the other side.
Now, Bertal, it is up TO the Old
Settlers Association of Walworth
County to secure q piece of ground
on the spot, You know where the
spot is as you were with me and
the Indians when they located it.
/ think it is on the north line of
Simon's quarter or the south line
0 f ydur quarter, and e rraish the
boulders laid in cement as a base
for the shaft, with q dowel pin that
the shaft can rest on. OF course
we can make this base, and We feel
as though we can secure it by
volunteer labor, large or small.
Ii small according to the draft, of
a few large bouiders, but | hope
that you boys will be liberal enough
to make a better base then that.
Now | have another scheme
Bertal. This is the opportunity
of their life for Mobridge. They
should organize at once a com
pany and buy at least five acres
for park purposes down on that
river bank where this monument
is to be erected and use it in the
future for pleasure and picnics.
1t seems as though to me that If ]
was in Mobridge that | could work
this up and show the people what
it means to the to wn ard raise this
this money in twenty-fcur hours to
The Mobridge news. [volume] (Mobridge, Walworth Co., S.D.) 190?-1917, 1909-03-19

buy such a tract of land. She is
| getting large enough to warrant
just such a park and nature has
given it to her, not a tree to be
planted, only cleaned up and
fenced.
My plan is to push this
monument matter and have it COM
pleted not later than June 9th
this year. | presume you have
heard that | am known as father of
the Aberdeen Territorial Home
Coming and will be identified with
that movement up to and including
the 23r |, oath and 25th of June,
therefore, ifyOu could arrange the
dates of your meeting to be held
at MObridge on the 9th, of June
it would make it just right for
those Of us who attend the
Aberdeen meeting to go out there
on the 18th and be prepared to
take part in the exercises in the
unwilling of this monument on the
9th, and Mr.. Robinson will be
the orator of the day and will en-
plain the rescue and how this
monument was erected. You
know | have promised this to you
people ever since the organization
of the Old Settlers Association of
Walworth County and | feel if |
carry out this pledge and meet the
hundreds and thousands / have
met in twenty-five years and see
this monument erected and pre-
sented to the Old Settlers Associa-
ton of Walworth County, | be-
lleve that that will close all the
pledges that | may have made
along historical lines. / wish that
you would take this matter up at
once, consult with different mem
bers Of the Association and Law
this proposition before them, talk
to the business men of Mobridge,
ask them if they don't believe that
they a donate a few cents apiece
and assist getting the material, SCI
curing the grounds, and have one
of the best meetings yet, and
write me and keep me posted
weekly at least how this matter
progresses.
] am glad to say that | have
never enjoyed better health in my
life than j am in today. OF
course, you know the inconyen-
fence that | have to conserd
against, but otherwise there is no
healthier man in the state than /
am. With kind regards to Mrs.
Olsen and family, yourself and all
inquiring friends, | am.
Sincerely yours,
I. g Orr.

GALLATIN HOLDS RECORD.
Mr.. Wilson Several Laps Behind in
Length Of Cabinet Service.

\ further investigation of the question
Of the length of service Of Secretary W.
son as cabinet officer discioses the fact
that it will be necessary for him to serve
until November 20 1899 in order TO have
equaled the record of Albert ,Gallatin OF
Pennsylvania, who was Secretary Of tie
Treasury in President Jefferson's first ad-
mlnIstration. according to the State De-
partment records. Mr.. Gallatin served in
that office for twelve years. eight months
and twenty-five days, having been COM
missloned May H. 1901. during a recess Of
the Senate. and began the discharge of his
duties on the same day. He was again
nominated for the Urea sury port folio Jan
uarN Is. 1s02: was confirmed and recon-
mlsSloned January -. 1852. and served
throughout the remainder of the admins
tra;ion.
Secretary Wilson was appointed al the
head of the Agricultural Department by
President Mckinney March E. 1897 ard
on March next lie viii have served con
tinuously for twelve years. If he should
serve longer than the 18th Of next No

REGRET FAIRGROUNDS LOSS
FAILURE TO- APPROPRIATE
DISAPPoINTS FRIENDS.
Find Encouragement for the Future,
However, in Analysis Of
the Vote.

The failure of the House to pass the
$4,000 appropriation for the Fairgrounds
of the District yesterday was the source
of regret TO many persons in the city IN
terested in their maintenance. The Dis
trict Commissioners expressed themselves
to that effect this morning.
Disappointing as the vote on the play
ground amendment was to the people of
Washington" said DR.. Curtis. superin-
tendent of the Fairgrounds lit was graft
tying to note that there was great in
crease in sentiment for Fairgrounds
shown in the House over last year.
When the matter was discussed last
year the measure was lost on rising
vote of II 10 80 This year on rising
vote ii was carried on vote of 81 TO %,
on vote by teller it was carried by a
vote of 65 10 c.. and on final vote by
tellers Thursday it was carried by vote
of II to ~. On final vote by yeas and
nays it was lost by vote of 49,; to 90.
1T is evident that the amendment was
fairly carried on the floor of the House;
that the sentiment of those who heard
the discussion was favorable to 1t: that
it was lost purely by the vote Of those
who supported the committee without
having listened to the debate
1T is doubtful if the committee will
ever he willing to undertake such
struggle in the House again. as it seems
almost certain that another year the
measure could be carried.
Undoubtedly the discussion was most
educational on the needs of the District
and Will have good influence In inter-
esting many in this particular social
movement. both here and elsewhere. who
have not been interested in its before.
The need of the Fairgrounds was for

WOULD EMPLOY AGENTS.
Secretary Straus' Proposed Investi

Secretary Straus of the Department of
Commerce and Labor has requested Con-
sress to make an appropriation of $4,000
for the employment of special agents to
investigate the question as to what ex-
tent manufactured products exported to
foreign countries are sold at lower rates
than in the American markets. He has
recently received an inquiry from the
Senate on this subject
In his reply he stated that he has no
specific information at his command but
is compelled to reply, as is the public
upon general rumor. He then suggests
the ACCESSIBILITY of a specific inquiry
through special agents. and to this end
asks that the appropriation Of $4,000 in
the legislative. executive and judicial APP
preparation bill for the investigation of
trade conditions abroad be increased to
$4,000. with the Inderst andng that $40
0C3 of that amount be used in making in
quiries concerning the price Of American
products in foreign countries compared
