THE DELATED FUNERAL OF
JOHN BROWNS SON.

Old John Brown had two sons

and Watsen. The body Of Owen
was buried with others In .
trench near the scene Of the
conflict. That Of Watson was
secured by some physicians
from = medical college at Win
chester, twenty miles away.
Three years afterward, In 1862,
Winchester was captured by
Gen. Banks Of the Union army,
and Or. J. J. Johnson, surgeon
Of the Twenty-seventh Indiana
volunteers, was placed in charge
Of the medical college, which
had been turned into hospital
for southern soldiers. Dr.. john
son found tho body Of Watson
Brown, 30 labeled, which
had been anatomlcaiIy =
served az a fine e-oc,mon
of tho human body. He
sent tho body to his homo In
Indiana, and preserved 1t .nere
for many years. In 1882 word
reached the Brown family that
Or. johnson had Watson's body.
Tho oldest son, John Brown, Jr,
who was living at Put-in-Bay,
went to MartinsviiIe, Ind, where
Or. johnson lived, identified tho
body, and took It away with
him. II was buried with Inn

Though the Old Vest Went to the

A certain thrifty Sewickleyan, who
contrives to "hold out" little for sun
dry personal purposes despite the
alertness of his better half, is often
put to queer shifts to keep his private
bank roll from her prying eyes. When
he some time ago began a systematic
conservation of his resources, with an
eye to attractive odds in the baseball
betting on the pennant, he bethougnt
himself of an old vest thaat he had
seen hanging in dark part of the
cellar, which be wore when he was
making garden in the spring. The
vest would make an excellent deposl
tory, so he thought.
Deciding on Tuesday morning to
come up to the city and 'look 'em
over" he repaired to the cellar. Hor'
rors! The vest was gone. Search as
he might 1t was nowhere to be found
and with fallen heart he resorted to
the last desperate expedient and
sought his wife

frown on her pretty face, ut smelled

URGE NEW MARRIAGE LAWS.

The storm of protest which has
been raised over the approaching mar
riage of Col. John Jacob Astor and
Miss Madeline Force has brought
about an agitation among members of
the senate and house of representa-
tives looking to federal law regulat-
ing marriage and divorce
Foremost among the advocates Of
such measure is Senator Curtis Of
Kansas.
The matter of establishing mi.
form divorce laws is one in which I
am greatly interested" the Kansas
Senator is quoted as saying. 1T is
a matter that vitality affects the social
interests of the nation. First among
the laws should be one absolutely pre-
venting in any state the marriage of
a man whose wife divorced him on
charges of specific crime Along with
this should be laws making both mar
riage and divorce more difficult. A
commission might be appointed to as
certain the best way of establishing
uniform laws throughout the country. ("

REPUBLICAN, STATE PLATFORM

The republican party of Arizona by
it's regularly elected party council,

progressive ideas which have made

people prosperous, hereby adopts and
promulgates this platform

our president, William H. Taft, for
the powerful aid and influence given
by it in furthering enactment of the
enabling act under which Arizona is
about to enter the sisterhood of
states; for the progressive principles
that administration has advanced; !;
for its advocacy of the principles Of
international peace; and for it's cour-
ageous attitude and impartial execu-
ton of the laws in prosecution of
trusts.
We commend our delegate in con-
SlSoo, 1AOAO1 oO1S L.

his effort to make good the platform

ministration of our governor, Richard
e. Sloan, for it's record of efficiency
in management Of public affairs; it's
putting upon the tax roll great in
crease of taxable property amounting
to thirteen million of dollars during

candidates for United States senator
and congressman towards securing
national legislation which will reduce
the extravagantly large areas involv-
ed in the Indian reservations and
forest reserves, throwing open to sale
and lease large bodies of coal and

WOULD PENSION THE AGED.

A pension of $4 a week for every
age is what Representative Victor L.
Berger, the Socialist member of con-
gress, wants and he has introduced a
bill providing for 1t. Included in his
bill is clause providing that none of
the courts in the country-Ont even
the United States Supreme court
shall have the power to pass on it's
validity.
"The old working men and working
women are entitled to a living out
side of the poorhouse and without the
aid of private charity" Representa-
tive Berger says.
Berger was born in Austria and was
educated at the universities of Buda
Pest and Vienna. Before he was able
to graduate financial reverses over
took his family and he came to the
United States. He has continued his
studies ever since and has. one of the
best equipped libraries in the United
States. For more than 20 years he
has devoted himself to the propaga-
tion of Socialist principles and was
one of the founders of the National
Socialist party

PRICES SHOW INCREASE.

Without attempting any elaborate
explanation OF the causes that have
forced up the cost of living, the bu.
reau of labor has made public a re-
port on the increases in Wholesale
prices during the last twenty years
The report shows that the average of
wholesale prices in 1910 as measured
by the prices of the 257 articles in.
Cluded in the investigation, was 4 per
cent higher than the average of 1909,
which latter exceeded the high aver
age for 1907 by 1.6 per cent
The advance in 1910 over 1900 was
not less than 1871 per cent, i6.7 per
cent. over 1897 the year of McKin-
ley's inauguration, and of lowest
prices in the 21-year period from 1890
to 1910 They were 1876 per cent.
higher than in 1890 and 31.6 per cent.
above the average price for the ten
years from 1890 to 1899 The highest
point reached in 1907 was in October,
with which month came general de-
cline until August, 1908
Beginning with September, 1908,
wholesale prices increased without a
break in any month up to March.
1910. In April, May and June, 1910,
prices declined slightly, but from June
to December prices remained at very
nearly the same level. Wholesale

Discussing influences in the rise
the bureau says:
The causes are too complex, the
relative influence in each too uncer-
tain, in some cases involving too
many economic questions, to permit
their discussion in the present report.
An enumeration of some of the inf1u-
ences that cause changes in prices
may be of interest, however. Such
influences include variations in har-
vest which not only contract or ex-
pand the supply and consequently
tend to increase or decrease to price
of a commodity, but also decrease or
increase to a greater or less degree
the purchasing power of such COM
modities as are dependent in whole or
in part upon such commodity, changes
in fashions, seasons, etc.; legislation
changing internal revenue taxes, I'M
port duties or bounties, inspection as
to purity or adulteration; use of 9th
er articles as substitutes as, for in
stance, an advance in the price Of
beef will cause an increased consump-
tion of pork and mutton, and it may
be added a probable increase in the
prices of both pork and mutton.

MANY r. r. D. CARRIERS.

Fifteen years ago, when Uncle Sam
was still but little more than ma
chine for collecting taxes and paying
employees, the man outside the city
got his letters as he could once a day,
once a week, or, perhaps. once a
month.
To do so he had to ride or walk
miles, and his only source Of sending
mail was through the country post
office, to which he must go. Then be-
gan the era of Uncle Sam, patriarch,
and the agents of the postoffice de-
the homes of the farmers. This was
the beginning of the rural free deliv-
cry, which has now spread to every
part of the country, and which daily
serves more than 20,OOO,00O people.
There are already over 100000 rural
mail carriers, who are always en-
route and the miles they daily travel
are more than four times as great as
from here to the moon. In year of
800 working days they cover a dis
tance of about 3OO,O0O,OOO miles, or
over three times as far as from the
earth to the sun, and the total an
nual cost of the services approximates
the enormous sum of $36,00O,0OO.
Rural free delivery had been in use
in other countries for years when
Uncle Sam took 1t up. The British
were sending their letters to almost
every home in the United Kingdom,
and SO were the Belgians, French,
Swiss and Germans, long before we
began to consider the matter
