FrederIek EIIsworth SOL.

AT Tunhridge on Tuesday, March Sth,
Frederick, oldest son OF Charles w. and
Alma Sanders Goss (deceased) passed to a
higher life. His sudden death came as a
shock to his family and many friends In
town. He had sustained an injury to his
side several days previous to his death,
but was not considered dangerously III
until Saturday before be passed away on
Tuesday.
He was born in Tuubridge, Aug. 10,
1875, in the house where he has lived the
greater part OF his life. He united with
the Cong'l church several years ago when
be was quite young; was a member Of the
Grange and also OF the Sons Of Veterans,
and treasurer OF the camp since its organ
ration. He never put himself ahead, but
was al~ avs willing to do more than his
share in work or money in whatever aoci-
ETY. he belonged. What has been said Of
another may we'll be said OF him,
THAT In this age Of all corruptng gold
The fair, sweet hoWer Of honor, never sold"
Six Of his brother members OF the 8. Of
v. acted as bearers. Honest, kindheart-
ed, genial Fred; how they will miss him.
10 those who are left the pang comes,
the grief IL so hard to bear, and yet when
the clouds clear away aud the mist Is
raised, there are few who do not come to
bow before The Fathers will And the
minister who spoke such comforting
words not only to the bereaved family,
but TO the many friends present said,
% The Father had need OF him and the
Father had called the loved one to Him
self II has been said that human be-
inRs have no power Of expressing their
deepest thoughts and sweetest sympathy,
yet those who mourn must feel the wave
Of love and tender sympathy that goes
out to them from every heart in this COM
munity, in this their great sorrow.
His funeral was held at his late home
Friday, March 18th, Rev. Sherman Good
win OF South Royalton officiating. The
casket Was covered with beautiful bowers
and pure white lilies, though no more
pure than the spirit OF him who had fall
en- asleep so early in life.
He leaves father, Charles w. Goss;
sister, Mrs. Will Howe, and 3 brother,
Luke r. Goss.
lnterment WAS in the family lot beside
bis mother, who died nearly three years
ago, TO whom be was very much devoted
and her death the greatest grief be ever
knew.
Though the dearest ones we cherish
Fade avav with mortal breath,
Never win their memory perish
Love u stronger far than death"

PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER

Just at present there seems to be
a strange lack of aspirants," he said.
"Of course, Ohio is backing Harmon.
and New Jersey is grooming Woodrow
Wilson for the candidacy. But these
are the only two possibilities I have
heard suggested, unless II ne Senator
Bailey of Texas. Bryan, OF course is
out of it, though I presume he will
try But I doubt If he could com.
mand the delegates from this state in

Mr.. Sullivan expressed complete
confidence that the democrats will
control the next House of Represen-
tatives and that Champ Clark would
be Cannon's successor os Speaker.

Sulphur, Okla, Aug. 13.-Colonel
Cecil Lyon, republican national COM
mitteeman from Texas. was before
the investigating committee today
and testified that Congressman Muir
ply, when he told the committee at
Washington that he Gyon) had trav-
eled through Oklahoma in the inter-
est of the McMurray contracts was
either guilty of ignorance or lying.
Colonel Lyon was very indignant at
the charge.
Congressman Murphy availed him
self of the privileges of the floor
where he couldn't be reached legal
ly," Lyon declared. HE also made
statements out of my presence where
he could not be reached physically. ]
believe Murphy should be called on
to prove his charges. No man, wo-
man or child can say that 1 was in
terested in McMurray's Individual con-
tracts. l agreed to become interested
as a business man with the law firm
but never was interested in individ-
ual contracts"
Gore as being interested in the con-
tracts. Congressman Charles MtE-
ply referred to is from Missouri.
Lyon said that in 1905 McMurray
asked him if he wanted to become
I associated with the sale of Indian
lands and Lyon said he accepted. Il
discussed the matter with the presi-
dent in January, 1906" Lyon testi-
fled asking him first to investigate
and then, If he saw fit, to confirm the
McMurray contracts. He referred me
to Indian Commissioner Leupp and
the latter suggested the forming OF
a stock company, each allottee to be
stockholder. The president ana
Leup favored this plan and I told the
president if a stock company was mis-
plan that ended the McMurray con-
tracts so far as 1 was concerned"
