SECTION FOREMAN TAPS TILL
Seely Loses Job on Account Of
$1,000 Shortage.

Frank Cornelius, section boss at
Arlington for the Milwaukee rail-
way, was brought to this city last
evening. having been brought into
court at Arlington charged with
stealing from the Milwaukee station
at that place. When brought before
the justice he confessed his guilt.
Station Agent Harry Seely was found
short in his accounts recently to the
amount of about $1,000, and was
dismissed from service by the COM
pany. Seely protested his innocence,
and claimed that the money had been
stolen. Suspicion pointed toward
Cornelius, who was section boss and
had key to the station, and looked
after the fires, and put in a part OF
his leisure time there. The bonding
company put detective in the town
to look the matter up, with the re-
suit that the guilty party is now an
occupant of our county jan and faces
a serious charge. Cornelius says in
his confession that he had been TAX
ing the mony in amounts ranging
from $500 to $4,000 for the past
year. The board over the monev
drawer was loosened and all he had
to do was to raise the board trifie
which let the money drawer out for
his convenience. Cornelius is a man
about 35 years old, and Is married,
but they have no children. The fact
that he had been spending money
very lavishly the past few months
lead to his suspicion. He had been
section boss there for eight years,
and was spending much more than
he was receiving. Constable Miller
brought him here last evening, and
it is probable that he will have his
hearing at this term of court, as the
machinery is all here just now. and

pounds. He took the giant Murphy
in his arms and carried it home, be-
ing careful lest it fall upon and
crush his feet. The father wagered

accepted the bet. The single potato
was pared, cooked and served, steam

HARPER
Mr.. Reuben Harper Passed to the
Great Beyond After a Long
Life of Usefulness.

On Wednesday night, April 26,
1911, Mr.. Reuben Harper, Uncle
Rube," as he was Familiarity
known, bid earthly friends his last
farewell and answered the call of
his Master, Come unto me all We
that labor and are heavy laden and
| will give you rest"
Mr.. Harper was one of our old
est and best known citizens and
enjoyed the confidence and esteem
of this entire community.
For him, death will be a sweet
dream, as he had been a constant
sufferer from diseases incident to
old age for long time.
Mr.. Harper was born in Bour-
bon county, near North Middle
town in 1929, thereby making him
81 past at the time of his death.
He moved to Bath county when
quite young man and about %
years ago moved to this city and
engaged in the livery business, in
which business he remained until
declining health forced his retire
ment.
When a very young man he was
married to a Miss Steel, who pre-
ceeded him to the grave many
years ago; to this union were born
two children, j. ID. Harper, de-
ceased, and John Harper a deser-
vedly popular member Of our
police force.
Mr.. Harper was man of ster-
ling quality and was indeed "a
friend to man." He will be great
ly missed, not only by our oldest
inhabitants, but by the children as
well, as he was a great admirer of
children.
The funeral was held at his late
residence Friday morning at 1:30
O'clock services being conducted
by Rev. H. G. Moody and burial
in Machpelah Cemetery.

Editor Advocate,
Mt. Sterling, Ky,
Dear Sirs:-
the city owns absolutely a tract
of land on High street, known as
the Old Grave Yard. Last year, a
committee from the Business
Mems Club expended on it $1,000
of the S136.25 secured by popular
subscription, leaving 81. % on hand
and several citizens contributed a
day or more in labor. AS result
the lot is fairly well grad d, with
good stand of blue grass coming
on and perfect grade made for
sidewalk on High street. The
question now is, how shall we use
itl What shall we do with it and
how shall we beautify it! Sugges-
tions in writing, looking to this
end, will be very much appreciated,
by the undersigned and the plan
adopted by the city will be pub
lishel, giving due credit to the
person making such suggestion.
Yours for a City beautiful,
