DEATH OF MRS. CROSS.

The death angel has entered the
home of Mrs. Martha Miller the
second time in five months, iirs,
by taking a beloved husband and
father, and a good neighbor, and
now by taking away mother and
grandmother, who passed peace
fully away in the arms of grand
son on Sunday evening, April 10,
1910, at o'clock. The deceased
had been a sufferer for a long
time from a complication of dis
eases. She had only been with
her daughter about month.
Mrs. Cross was born in Tennes-
see July 10, 1928 Her maiden name
was Danly. She was twice married
first to VIM. Lee, who died many
years ago. This union was blessed
with three children, w. D. Lee
Mary Jane Jones and Martha Mil
Ter. The deceased was married
the second time in 1883 to s. F
Cross Of Illinois, who died some
three years ago.
Beside her children, Mrs. Gross
leaves several grandchildren anG
great-grandchildren to mourn hei
demise.
The burial took place Tuesday
at one o'clock at Williamsburg, by
the side of her late husband.

CONRAD SCHROFF.
Born Nov. 20, 1847.
Died April 3, 1910.

Again was our peaceful commun-
ity disturbed by the sudden and
altogether unexpected visit of
the Angel OF Death, serving the
final summons of the Mighty and
Supreme Judge in Heaven TO our
respected and esteemed neigh
Dor, Conrad Schroff, who was born
Nov. 20, 1S47, in she quiet little
village, Espasington, Baden, Ger
many, being Of Roman Catho.ir
parenta ge. At Tke tender age of
; clr3 he came with his paren %
o Our land OF free lom and toler-
alton, and grew up to be a loyal
patr.os o. the Stars and Stripes.
In 1870 he came from Illinois to
Montgomery county, Mo, and mar
ried Sarah A. E. Dickey in 1871, his
vile dying in 1872. In 1874 he was
married 20 Mary Hauyer, and lived
happily and contentedly with her
until lhi5 death. This union was
blessed with nine children.
Mr.. SchToff had won the highest
eSSeem OF his friends and neigh
hoTs, being one who minded his
own business and never meddled
with others, yet ever ready to
lend a helping hand TO those
knocking at his door. He receded,
20 to say, Tor number of years
prior to his death, from the Cath
Ole church, coming more or less
under dhe influence of pure, un-
defiled Gospel preaching of the
German Protestant churches of
Big Spring, although he never af-
fiiated with any other church, vet
no dou5t Gods word bore fruit, as
lie remarked con:entedly to his
daughter Caroline before his de-
parture that he was willing to
die and ready to meet his God.
The funeral was conducted by
Rev. Buess, assisted by Rev. Dit
ter. The latter preached in Ger
man and the former in English.
The services were held at the
house, large crowd gathering to
pay their last respects to their de-
parted friend and neighbor.
The interment took pace in the
Methodist cemetery, whe h re-
mains are resting . a@ae the
great day OF Resur"e.. ion, when
Christ shall come and Judge the
quick and the dead, and all shall
receive according to their works.
Mr.. Schroff leaves wife, 9 chill
dren, 3 grandchildren and large
number of relatives and friends
to mourn hias loss. May the Lord
bless and comfort the bereaved
ones IL our sincere prayer.

DOESN'T BELIEVE IN WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Woman Editor Says the Most Beautiful
Creature in the World is the Mother
Of a Family, Well Trained, and
e. who can Broil Steak and
Make Good BISCUITS.

Mexico, Mo-, April i6.-Mrs. Lilly
II. Frost, editor OF the Vandalia
Leader, the only woman in charge
OF newspaper in the Ninth Con
gressional District, and one OF
the few in the entire West, ia dc
cidedly opposed to suffrage for
her sex. In the following letter,
which was sent to this city to be
read at the meeting of the Demo-
cratic editors of the Ninth District
Friday, she expresses her opinion
OF the woman in politics:
81 am opposed, almost violently,
to political women or suffragists |
also think that nothing but neces-
fity condones a woman in public
life. If every old politician says
TO the young man, keep out Of
politics. what would he say to
the women of his family? And wo-
men, with their inherited instinct,
are not ready for poi les or for
ballots. She shrinks from public
activity. 1t would take hun
dred years to train this feeling out
CT her.
a few Eastern women, with their
hours of idleness and their MI
lions, are doing the nation an in
their perverted brains to inculcate
ideas of political ascendancy and
the rights of franchise in an army
of women who are only dazzled
by their money and social posi-
tions.
"Purify politics? That is only a
flattering JUNCTION, and many good
women uphold the idea solely in
spirit of self-imm olation. In the
main, women are creatures of one
idea and would be a disorganiz-
ing factor. If men, with their
steadier nerves and broader minds,
nearly fail in preserving the gov
ernment, what would the weaker
sex do?
"In my talks with women I find
that they resent the fact that ne
groes and incompetents vote and
base their arguments on that, not
refkecting that if accorded the bal
lot it would only double both the
intelligent and the unintelligent
vote. Theoretically it is beau
tiful proposition and seems of fun
damental justice.
"Personally, beyond an intclli-
gent comprehension of affairs, ]
want neither politics nor ballots
in my life. To me the most beau
tiful creature in the world is a
bright, educated, intelligent, hos
pitable mistress of a home, the
mother of family, well trained,
who can broil steak and make
good biscuits. This is the woman
that the nation needs"

RETRACT? OF CoURsEi

DR.. Crockett wants the Tribune
to retract its suggestion that the
city council pass an ordinance fix
ing license fee of $50 per annum
on automobiles. Well, here goes,
Doctor, We retract the suggestion.
1t was made in a spirit of pure
fun, anyhow. Knowing as we did
that his Honor, the Mayor, and
the Mayors son, and the Mayors
partner each owned a handsome
gasoline wagon, we, OF course,
knew that the suggestion would
not likely have much effect on
the city government. Still, the

The management of the Addison
County Fair, which occurs this year Au-
gust 30 and 81 and September and 2, are
making preparations for the great event
in their Enthusiastically progressive
manner, and the exhibition promises to
eclipse anything heretofore attempted
which means something. Not all of the
new features have, as yet, been an
nounced, but the program will be full.
1t is expected that one hundred race
horses will be entered in the differ
ent racing events this year, as against
forty last year. This is probably the
best half mile track in Vermont and
horseman have come to realize this; and
the liberal purses offered ggregating
not less than 81, 200-are great attrac-
ton. Secretary Button, as well as
other officials, are busy these days and
the results of their labors will certainly
be satisfactory to the people of Ad-

Cost Of Maintaining Tuberculo
sis Sanitorium.

In preliminary bullentin on the cost
of maintaining a tuberculosis sani-
torium, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
announces to-day that the average cost
per patient per day in thirty semi
charitable sanatoria scattered in all
parts of the United States is $1.669.
These institutions represent an annual
expenditure of over 81, 300, 200 and over
S15, 900 days of treatment given each
year. The bulletin, which is part of an
extensive study the National Associa-
ton is making for its bureau of infor-
nation, points out how the country
could save annually at least $3.50, 900,
600, if the INDECENT consumptives were
properly segregated.
1t was found that the food cost in
most institutions represented one-third
of the annual expenditures. The aver
age daily food cost per patient was
so. 544. The expenditures for salaries
and wages represented nearly another
third, being so. 4S1 per day per patient
out of total of $1.669. The fuel, oil
and light cost was $O.206 per capita pei
diem or about one-eighth of the total
cost.
The daily cost in the several institu.
ton ranged all the way from so. 946 pei
patient to 81. 555. In the far West and
Southwest, as in Colorado and New
Mexico and California the cost was
higher than in the East, in New York
and New England, being So. 025 per pa
tent as against $1.748.
The total expenditur of the thirty
institutions were $1,363, 953.28, while
the total receipts from all sources were
81, 548, 525. 70. More than 70 per cent
of the receipts were received from pub
lie funds and private benefactions
only 28.8 per cent being from patients
Stated in another way, only 35 per CEN
of the total expenditures were received
from patients, the remainder being
made up from other sources.
Computing that there are in the
United Seates at least 300, 600 indigen
consumptives who should be cared fol
in charitable or semi-charitable sana
toria and hospitals, the National AS
ISOLATION estimates that the annual cos
to the country for the treatment O.
these persons would be $50, 900, 900 a
the rate of 81. $50 per day per patient
At the lowest possible estimate, thu
country looses 5000, 600, 900 year from
the incapacity of these INDECENT victims
of tuberculosis. This would mean a ne
saving of $50, 900, 900 year to the Uni
ted States if all cases of consumption
who are too poor to afford proper treat
ment in expensive sanatoria were caret
for at the expense of the municipality
county or state. And this annual gail
does not include the enormous savin,
that would accrue from the lessened in
lection due to the segration of the dan
gerous consumptives in institutions.
