Dudley Seward was married to Pleiades
Barber, who survives him. This couple
lived on a farm in Indiana until April,
1865, when they removed to Mankato,
Minnesota, where Mr.. Seward was first
engaged in the business of -four mill
ing He served there likewise as county
auditor for eight years and was post
quartermaster at Mankato during the
Indian outbreak of 1862, although
he did not see any field service. He
also taught school in Minnesota, al
though there is no record as to the
length of time that he acted as a
teacher.
In March, 1888, Father Seward, with
his wife came to Ventura, where the
aged couple have since resided. He
had restired from active business. of
course, before coming here. A long life
in honor and integrity had served to
amass enough to keep him and his
wife very comfortably in their age.
But. although Father Seward had re-
tired, he still took keen interest in
all public matters, and was relied up
on as an active force in all movements
for good in this community, where he
was loved by all who came within
the circle of his kindly inhuence-and
that, in effect, was every man, woman
and child in Ventura.
To Amos ID. Seward and his wife
We're born six children, of whom four
survive. These; are Guilford Dudley
Seward now Of Akron, Ohio; Rev.
Frederick Dwight Seward, one time
pastor of the Presbyterian church here
and now of Gardena; Martha Hine
Seward Ready. wife of the well known
farmer of Mound district. and Virgil
Barber Seward. of Marshall. Minnesota.
Two sons, Victor Carlton Seward and
Edwin Schiller Seward, are dead.
Father Seward joined the Masonic
order in Mankato on April 2, 1864, and
became a Master of the lodge there
He became member of the Eastern
Star i'm 1868. He affiliated with the
lodge in Ventura at once upon his ar
rival here. He was a member of the
Blue Lodge and of the Chapter.
The funeral of Amos Dudley Seward
will take place Thursday, the services
being from the Presbyterian church.
The MasOns will act as an escort to
the cortege, sand will conduct their
own services at the grave. The hour
for the funeral is fixed at two o'clock

The Belgrade town board opened bids
at ten O'Clock this forenoon for widen
ing the big fill on the new Belgrade
hill road and putting in riprap on the
south side. Three bids were received
c. s. Erickson bid II cents yard for
fill and $3.50 a cord for riprap, which
includes only the labor of placing it,
the board to furnish it. The bid fOots
up $455 for rirrap and $569.l6 for
earth, a total of $I,024l6.
b. A. Tidland bid AZ cents for the
fill and 60 cents a yard for the rip
rap. or 81 ,406l6 for the fill and
$3l2.G5 for the riprap, total of
$l,7lS.Sl. Fisher & Mcdonald bid still
higher.
The width of the biggest fill is to be
increased from twenty to forty feet
at the top, and the south side is to be
riprapped to the top and the north
slopes seeded. The state has appropr-
ated $1,000 to help in this work, so
the expense to the township will not
be great. 1t must buy the stone and
have it hauled in addition to the price
bid by Mr.. Erickson or the other
bidders.
The board decided to hold the matter
open until Wednesday at 10 a. m,
when it will meet at County Sur
veyor Brooks office and doubtless award
the contract.

fracture of the ribs and one shoulder
was dislocated.
Owing to his advanced age-he was

Mr. Schwehn was the father of nine

The meeting of Broad and Fourth
street property owners in Dukes addi
ton. held at the Dukes addition fire
station Saturday evening to consider
the matter of constructing a sewer
on Fourth street from Washington TO
May, and on Broad street from May to
Thompson, and down Thompson, was
well attended. The matter was talked
over, and all thought that a sewer
would be desirable, but the great
majority were opposed to constructing
it this year An estimate of the cost
was presented, of $l3O a foot, one half
of the cost to be assessed on each
side of the street
When the matter was put to a vote,
twenty nine voted against it ard only
six 70 rit. Alderman Hampl had the
proxies of four who favored it. but did
not vote them, as the ma jority was
so great. Several who favored the
sewer were not present, but their votes
would not offset those opposed to it.
so the matter will be allowed to drop
until fall, when it may be considered
again. Aid. Hampl was disappointed at
the outcome of the meeting, as he had
hoped that the property owners would
favor the sewer.
If the new charter carries. improve
ments like this can be paid for over
series of years and not be hard
ship on anyone.

San Francisco, May 24.-Professor E.
j. Noyle, a chemist of Berkely, claims
he has made one of the greatest discov-
cries of the age, nothing less than a
method of removing drunk" from whis-
KY, without diminishing its celebrating
powers Voyle's recipe takes the kick
out of any liquor, leaving all the re-
operative powers.
Professor Voyle says the thing in
whisky which causes woe is not alec
hol, but "cynanide." All You have to
do is to carefully extract "cynanide"
from your whisky and you may drink
: it freely without fear.
Pure alcohol is not responsible for
the intoxication that follows drinking
it, says Professor Voyle. "The evil
ingredient is the associated element
'cynanide' 1t is one of the minor
constituents not removed by the pres
ent process of fermentation and dis
tillation."
Peoria, H., May 24.-Arguing along
the lines that prohibition does not pro-
hibit, Mayor David S. Rose of Milwau-
kee, met Daniel r. Sheen, before 1000
people at the Coliseum on the mega
tive side of the question:: Resolved,
that prohibition, as applied to the man
ufacture and sale of Intoxicating bev
erages. is right"
The local advocate of cold water
opened the DEBATE WIN al ADDRESS Oh
one hour. He urged the protection of
the homes, of the schools. of the
churches and of the rising generation
against the evils of the liquor traffic.
Half of the criminals in the penitenti-
aries, he said, were there through the
effects of alcoholic stimulants. The
Almighty established prohibition first
in the garden of Eden, the speaker
maintained, when Adam was prohibited
from eating an apple. Since that time
prohibitory legislation has been passed
and had been more or less effective.
Mayor Rose argued that the Al
mighty's mandate regarding the apple
did not prohibit Adam from eating it
and argued that since that time the
law as against the use of intOXicants
had been no more successful. The Mil
waukeean quoted scripture to support
the theory that Noah had been a
drunkard after leaving the ark; that
the Savior drank wine as beverage,
and that down through the succeeding
ages, wine had been manufactured and
had been drunk.

Waseca, May 24.-Bennie Garlick sew
enteen year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dan Garlick of this city, was arrested
here Saturday on complaint of his
father, charging him with stealing $50
from the family purse on the thirteenth
of this month. After having taken
the money the young man went to
Minneapolis, where he remained until
Friday night, when he returned to his
home here.
Upon going to his fathers house, it
is alleged, the indignant parent re-
fused to grant him admittance and
Saturday morning turned him over
to the authorities. The father had par
doned the boy on several similar occa-
sions, but this time considered that
he should be punished. He was taken
before Judge Hayden, waived examina-
ton, plead guilty and was bound over
to the grand jury. He has made APP
plication for an immediate sentence to
escape the long wait for the fall term
of court, and it is expected that Judge
Buckham of the district court will come
here next week to pass on the case.
