A Martyr to the Cause He Loved.

! The remains of Rev. William 5.
Ament reached the city on the afternoon
train Tuesday and the funeral services
were held at the Congregational church
at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Z. IL.
Hanks, assisted by Rev. j. A. Kirbye
of Medina, Ohio. The church was well
filled with the old friends of the family,
present to express their deepest sympa'
thy to the bereaved wife and son and to
honor one whom they loved and respect
ed The floral offerings from friends in
the city and various parts OF the country
expressed better than words the loss all
felt. Respecting the wishes of Mrs.
Ament, the services were extremely
simple. After scripture reading by
Rev. Hanks and prayer by Rev. Kirbye,
brief remarks were made by both, the
latter bringing an expression of sympa-
thy from the Congregational church at
Medina, Ohio the only church in this
country of which Mr.. Ament was ever
pastor. The interment was in Oakhill
cemetery.
The exact cause of tho sickness of DR..
Ament was not known until the arrival
of Mrs, Ament, who stated that he was
injured last summer by being thrown
from pony while making trip to one
of his appointments several miles from
Picking. His chest was injured quite
severely, despite which DR.. Ament con-
tinued about his work until compelled
to stop, after which he underwent four
operations and apparently was recover.
ing when he suffered slight stroke of
paralysis in October From that time
on he became worse and it is thought a
blood clot formed on his brain, causing
death. Mrs. Ament was at Oberlin
when the first news came of DR.. Ament's
sickness and she fastened to his side,
meeting him in Japan and start was
made for home within short time Mr..
Ament was unconscious part of the
time on the trip to San Francisco, rally
ing somewhat at first but turn for the
worse came near the close of the old
year and the final summons came on the
seventh instant The news of his death
was received in missionary circles, with
out regard to creed, all over this coun-
try with the most profound sorrow.
Few men were better known in his
chosen work than DR.. William S. Ament
and his name will be recalled and hon
ored long, long years hence.
William S. Ament was born in this
city, where he spent his early manhood
attended the high school, spent his col,
lege and seminary vacation days and
was ordained to the Christian ministery
and gave his life to missionary work.
Since 1877, with the exception of three
years, he had given his best strength to
the cause of the Master in China, doing
work which will live on through the
ages and which will ever keep his mem
DRY alive. He was the son of Winfield
S. and Emily Ament, early settlers of
Owosso and for many yerrs among its
best known people. His father died
many years ago. the mother but few
months ago. His age was 81 years.

Old John 3 SrIeycorn.

Gov. Haskell's proclamation that
liquor cannot legally be sold IN Okla.
homa, even for medicinal purposes, is
but one of many recent solar plexus
blows which have set poor old John
BarleycOrn staggering.
Jolly old John has had his own way
so long, bringing cheer and revelry to
his friends and opulence to his hackers,
that he must be dumbfounded and con
fused by the sudden turn of the strong
tide against him.
Sustaining the Oklahoma idea are
such eminent authorities as DR.. Will
liams, in an article in McClure's Maya
zine. and DR.. Peterson, in an address at
the New York conference of Charities
and Correction, both of whom declare
that liquor as medicine does no good
but does incalculable harm.
But if his expulsion from the sick
room were all, old John might still
maintain his jollity. For his best
friends, his easiest victims, take their
liquor not to make them we'll, but to
make them sick.
The crusade against him, not as a
medicine but as a poison. is what is
giving old John heart failure
President-elect Taft caught the in
fecti Gus spirit of temperance, and at a
Hot Springs banquet turned down
his wine glass. 81 am not going to
drink anything again-ever, he said.
Taft has before him'the hardest work
of his life-work that calls for endur.
ance, clearness of head and every ounce
of energy there is in him. Evidently
he regards liquor not as a help, but
hindrance TO these high qualities
Therefore, old John is to lose his ira
ditional right to put spice into state
papers, and is to be banished FIR ON
the cabinet table.
Well, if old John is coming to the end
of his day, he can at least reflect that it
has been jolly one-for him. Poets
have rhymed his praises and roysterers
have loved him. His sparkle has found
its reflection in many Unfortunately bright
eyes. He has warmed many cherries
heart and caused many a sorrow to be
forgotten few hours.
But the burden he has laid upon
humanity is heavier than humanity can
bear. He has filled the insane asylums
and the prisons. He has loosed madness
to mann and murder. He has made
imbeciles of brilliant men, criminals of
honest ones and paupers of prosperous
ones. He has wrecked homes by the
millions. The slaughter he incites
is echoed by the walls of widows and
orphans.
Yes, old John Barleycorn has had his
day, and it has been busy one. --Kala.

OBJECT TO SEWER TAX.
Rock Island Secures an Injunction
Against Kansas City.

Through their attorneys NJ. A Low
and Paul E. Walker, the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railroad filed
a petition for injunction with George
Sharitt, clerk of the United States
circuit against John E. Smyth. city
clerk of Kansas City, Kan, and the
whole list of officers in connection
with this municipality, enjoining and
restraining them from certifying,
collecting, subjecting or attempting
to certify. collect or subject or bur
den any of the property of the Rock
Island with an assessment of So
076.93 for sewer which is called in
the city records the Muncie boulevard
sewer district.
The Rock Island claims that they
have paid one sewer tax on their
property in Kansas City and they are
not subject to any more. They also
claim that the proposed sewer dis
trict is north of the Union Pacific
tracks and thus the U. P. property is
between their property and the sewer
district. They say it is Impossible
sewer in this case and the property
would be injured under any circum-
stances.
It seems that the Rock Island owns
tracks and bridges within the
boundaries of the Muncie boulevard
sewer district. On November IL,
1908, the sewer district was created
by the city of Kansas City, kan, ana
it included all of this land and
property owned by the Rock Island.
The city ordinance passed the coun-
Gil on January % and became effec-
tive on June IS when the assess
ments were apportioned and levied
with the result that $5,076.93 stared
the Rock Island in the face. They at
once declared the assessments Illegal,
null. void unreasonable and
oppressive.
