Obituary.
CHARLES RATZLAFF.

Charles Ratzlaff, son of August and
Bertha Ratzlaff, was born in Edgerton,
Feb. IA, 1883, and died at the Mercy
hospital in GAINESVILLE, April 80, 1910.
On Friday morning he was taken
suddenly i'll with pains in the abdomen
and a physician was summoned; through
out the day and night his condition
grew worse, and early Saturday morn
ing he was taken by auto to the hos
pital in GAINESVILLE, and operated on for
appendicitis shortly after noon. He
regained consciousness after the opera
ton and talked with his wife and
brother who were with him, but inside
of half an hour he swooned away and
died in peaceful sleep. The remains
were brought home. Saturday evening.
On June %, 1904, he was united in
marriage to Anna Schmeling and to
this union two sons were born, who,
together with the wife, are left to
mourn the loss of loving husband and
kind father. He is survived by the
father and mother, three brothers,
tiers, Mrs. Fred Gessert, Minnie, Elsie
and Alma Ratzlaff. The family and
relatives have the sympathy of the en-

bereavement.
Charles Ratzlaff was an Industrious
young man, had passed his whole life
in Edgerton, was possessed of a genial
disposition and his friends were many.
He was member of the Manner choir
of the German church and his demise
will leave a gap in the society hard to
fill
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
Spilman, were held from the home at
1 80 and from the German church at 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and the
church was filled with relatives and
friends who went to pay their last re-
spects to a departed friend. There was
profusion of flowers that banked the
casket in it's place before the altar,
which expressed the sympathy and re-
spect OF the donors. Interment was
made in Fassett cemetery.

Miss Anna Robson, student of the
American Conservatory of Music, who
was guest of Lucille and Kathleen
Culton for week, returned to Chicago
Sunday evening.
The Police and Fire Commission
met in the city hall Wednesday fore
room at o'clock and perfected the or
ganization by electing L. c. Whittet as
president; j. A. Jensen, vice-president;
A. w. Shumway, secretary. A COM
mittee of three to draft bylaws was
elected consisting of A. w. Shumway,
w. H. Morrissey and j. A. Jensen.
. Despite the storm and disagreeable
! weather prevailing outside, an over
flowing house greeted the benefit en-
tertainment given by the Edgerton
Cornet band at Royal hall on Monday
evening. A comedy sketch, "At Gay
Coney Island,'' was presented which
gave the cast an opportunity to imper-
senate female characters, and the cos
tune effects were the taking feature
of the show. AS Widow McGinty"
looking for a husband, F. G. Mercy
nolds added new laurels to his reputa-
ton as fun maker. Geo. Pollard and
Jack Dickerson as the Irish rivals for
her hand were also good Freeman
Lyons as a German and Frank Williams
as SNOWFALL carried comedy parts
that brought down the house, while
transformer Walker" Harvey Ray
mond could hardly be improved on.
The costumes of the beauty chorus, and
especially of J. A. Jensen, were GER
tainly creations of the art. The mu-
steal numbers brought out the best tai
ent in the band and were we'll received,
including songs by L. J. Dickinson, J.
A. and Adolph Jensen, Frank Williams,
F. Lyons, Harvey Raymond, f. G. Nc
Reynolds and Warren Coon. Of course
the program was largely a burlesque
performance and the fine hand of S. Il.
Buchanan in local hits was much in
evidence. People who came there to
enjoy good laugh were not disap-
pointed. The benefit was a success
from financial standpoint, as nearly
$40 was cleared. Those who patron
lied it were pleased with the enter
tainment, so everybody is satisfied.

AMAZING PART Of MODERN
life IS RUSH AND HURR

While giving his opinion of the
cause of so much sickness among
the present generation, in an inter
view in New York, recently, L. T.
Cooper, the man who claims that
stomach trouble Is responsible for
most i'll health, said:
"The amazing part of modern life
in this city, and every other in Amer
lea, is the rush and hurry. No one
seems to have enough time. This
very fact is responsible for much ill
health. AS / have said before, poor
digestion is at the bottom of all this
tired, WORKOUT condition which af-
fiicts modern people, but nothing is
more necessary to keep the diges-
tive organs working properly than ex-
ercise in the fresh air, and New
Workers have no time for this.
'The daily life of the average New
Yorker is about as follows: After
sleeping all night in room with a
low ceiling and poor ventilation, he
dresses in a rush, bolts his break
fast, and runs for a car. He rides
downtown in this car with the air
foul from over-breathing, and works
until noon shut up tight in some fac
tory or Office building. At noon a
hasty lunch and then back for the
rest of the day in the same close
quarters. When time to, quit comes

theatre, with more street cars to get

KEY TO WORLDS PEACE SAID TO BE
HELD IN LONDON AND BERLIN.

New York Times: Undoubtedly the
most striking and impressive of the
suggestions of Mr.. Roosevelt at Christ
iania is that of League of Peace"
formed by those great powers honest
ly bent on peace" not only to keep the
peace among themselves, but to pre-
vent by force If necessary it's being
broken by Others" 1t may be interest
ing to consider to which of the powers
this plan must be applied in order to
be successful.
There are four powers which might,
If they could come together in a per-
fectly frank and sincere agreement, en-
force the peace of the world-Great
Britain, Germany, the United States
and Japan. There is no combination
of the other powers that would under
take to engage in war against the unit
ed resistance of these four. The arm
les of Germany and Japan, in their
present condition of efficiency. their
navies and the navies of Great Britain
and the United States would make
all attempts at war on which these ma
lions were united in fixing a veto en-
tirely hopeless. 1t is, indeed, almost
equally sure that peace could be pre-
served by the threat Of force by the
three occidental nations OF this quar-
tet, for If Great Britain, Germany and
the United States should determine to
repress any hostilities In which Japan
could enlist with any probable allies
or enemies or their action would be final.
Again. If we limit the assumption
still more, 1t may be said with much
reason that really earnest agreement
between Great Britain and Germany to
keep the peace themselves, and to pre-
vent its being broken by any others
at all likely to wish TO disturb it,,
would be effective. And the difficulty
in the execution of Mr.. Roosevlets al
Turing plan lies not in the secondary,
but in the primary aim of that agree
ment, not in preventing disturbance
OF the peace by others, but In pre-
serving the peace between themselves.
So far as recent events show there
