Obituary.

Robert Cornell died in Sioux Falls
Monday evening, May End, at 1890
o'clock at the age of eighty years.
Mr.. Connell was an old and respect
ed resident of Lincoln county, having
moved here In 1871. After the death
Of his wife in 1904, he made his home
with his son and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Van Houten, first in Can
ton and later in Sphinx county near
Frankfort.
In February Mr.. Connell came to
Canton to attend to some business be-
fore the city council, and visit friends.
About two weeks before his death,
MI. Connell went to Sioux Falls to visit
lie left Canton apparently in. the best
of health and the news Of his death
came as q decided shock to all.
The funeral services were held In
Sioux Falls and from there the body
OF the beloved father was brought to
Canton and laid beside the body OF
the wife and mother.
To all Of us death comes as a severe
blow, but added to this is reaching
the bedside of the loved one too late
for a last look and word, there seems
to be no ray Of comfort for US. Mrs.
Chas. Van Houten Of Frankfort, and
MIS-. James ManOley Oh
daughters of Mr.. Connell, received
word OF their fathers illness too late
to reach him ere he had passed into
the Great Beyond. Mrs. August
Paulesky Of Nicola, Iowa, was visiting
in the western part of S. D., and
could not be reached by wire, and was
not present at the funeral.
The death OF Mr.. Cornell leaves q
blank in the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Van 'Houten which can never be
filled. He was loved and respected
by his children, grandchildren and his
many friends. To all these. we ex-
tend sincere sympathy and ask that
He who heals all wounds, may lessen
the sorrow of the bereaved ones.
Robert Cornell served in the Brit
ish navy during the Crimean war and
was at the siege Of %Sevastopol. He
came to the United States In 1862 and
served in the navy until the close Of
the Civil war.

For superintendent OF Schools.
Having filed my petition as a candi-
date for the office of county super
intendent of schools, l make the fol
lowing statement so the voters may
know where I stand:
l believe that all teachers should
be lovers of children; that order in
school is a necessity; that the COM
pulsory school awshould be enforced;
that music and writing should be
taught to all grades every day; that
the superintendent should make a
deep study of each district and of each
teacher so that he may, when asked,
select the teacher fitted for that
particular place; that the teacher
should command the respect of the
district or try another occupation;
that good teachers should be paid
good salaries; that a teacher, well
tried, is better than a experiment
with a new one; and that all printed
stationary used in the superintendent
office should be bought from Lincoln
county printing offices.
For four years 1 tried to carry out
the spirit of the above statements,
and if again elected will continue ia
the same line of work.

annual picnic and outing.
President Freeman OF Morningside

Will Come in Whistling.

When the Omaha and South Omaha
business mems palace train of steel
coaches is within a mile of Canton,
May II. on their South Dakota-Neb-
raska trip they intend to announce
their coming with long blast Of a
siren whistle which they have attach
ed to a baggage car that it may be
blown on the entire trip without
changing from n engine to another.
The party will arrive in Canton
promptly at las P. M. May II, and
after their march to the principal
street intersection, will visit the
merchants and business men in their
stores and offices. They are not look
ing for entertainment but want to
see as much of the town and learn as
much about it and the country sur
rounding it as possible.
Those towns which have a siren
whistle to give fire alarms will pro-
badly have some useless runs if they
don't remember the time of the
arrival of the Omaha train, as the
blasts of the whistle have taken many
a reception committee from the depot,
where they intended to meet the
visitors, to grab a hose cart and run
to put out a fire. For this reason the
Omahans want it known that they
will blow such a whistle and avoid
the trouble Of looking for fire.
The party has the sheep bells for
souvenirs, but almost every one of the
one hundred firms represented has a
special souvenir besides, thus the
atmosphere will be left full of advertis-
ing matter of the latest design and
children meeting the visitors will
have the time of their lives.
Mayor Tank and the Commissioners
and the people generally should be
prepared to give the Omaha boosters
a hearty welcome. The Omaha train
is said to be the finest on wheels.
