Aryin n. Potter.

How true is that saying ''in the
midst of life we are in death" was
forcibly brought home to us Monday
afternoon when it was reported that
Arvin H. Potter had died at 400 o'clock
at the home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. II. II. Potter, of this city.
The young mans acquaintance in this
city was not extensive, as the only time
the people of Webster had the oppor-
portunity to meet him was when he
was here on occasional visits with his
parents. He commanded the respect,
esteem and confidence of all with whom
he came in contact by his manly, up
right bearing and genial, courteous
manner. His was character that
makes one feel when you have come in
contact with them, no matter how
casually. that.you have met man in
the highest sense of the term, and the
world can i'll spare such character,
especially in youth when he is just at
the opening of useful manhood. But
the mystery of life is beyond fathom-
ing by the human brain. We find a
young man with every prospect for a
useful, happy and prosperous life,
when 10, the dread messenger comes
and the tickle thread of life is snapped
asunder, and soul freed from its earth
ly habilments. We look in wonder and
ask ourselves, why is it so? But our
faculties fail to compass the mystery
of life and we remain at loss to ac-
count for either the beginning or the
end.
Arvin III. Potter was born at Hamp-
ton, Iowa, June II, 1880, and came to
Dakota with his parents in January,
1894, where they resided several years,
finally moving to Minneapolis. His
boyhood and manhood We're spent in
Dakota and Minneapolis. While resid-
ing in that city he learned the electrical
business, which profession he followed
for eight years. He was married in
1902 in Minneapolis to Lola Elwell, and
to this union three children were born,
two daughters and a son, aged six, -four
and five years respectively.
Two years ago he with his family
was affected with diptheria, and the
disease left him in a partially paralyzed
condition. On the advice of his physi,
clan he moved to the country and later
was taken TO hospital, but thinking
that change of climate and a mother.
care would be beneficial he was brough1
to Webster with his family, arriving
January 5. But the best of medica
attendance and the careful nursing of I
loving wife and mother proved of nc
avail, and he breathed his last at 4:0t

o'clock z. M. Monday, Feb. q, having
suffered two years from diptheratic
paralysis and the liberated soul was
transported to that higher, nobler and
more perfect estate.
He leaves young wife, a father.

rem TO mourn his loss.
The funeral will occur at the HI. H.
Potter home at 200 o'clock this after
noon, Rev. Nelson Traggit, Episcopal
rector at Milbank, officiating. The
remains will be taken to Minneapolis on
the 1890 train.
No pen can portray the heart aches,
the sorrow and grief of the bereaved
wife, parents and brother And how the
heart goes out to the three little chill
dren left fatherless. Words of sympa-
thy seem like like hollow mockery, but
there is deeper sympathy where the
bond of fellowship is felt, and unseen,
the unexpressed consciousness of the
afflicted and their friends goes out in a
flood, and the bereaved are ssured that
their burden of sorrow is shared with
many friends, though silently it may be.
No word could make the compact more
forceful or more real

stated.

authority there are I'm cold storage at

40 pounds of beef 40 pounds OF veal,

very considerable.
II these figures are correct, the
chief malefDctoI in this nefarious
business Of hing prices is known and
IL is with Congress and the State
legislatures TO deal with him. IL is
asserted that cold storage plants In
New York and vicinity are crowded
with beef that has been frozen foI
more than twelve months and fish
that were taken from the water even
longer ago.
Let the authorities ascertain the
Truth OF these assertions, and IL they
