BORN IN WEBSTER COUNTY
Leaves Wife and Two Children i
Mourn His Demise Was n
Years Of Age.

Jesse Goodrich died Saturday
forenoon at about o'clock, In the
rooms. over The Savoy, where the
family reside. Mr.. Goodrich's death
was primarily caused by an injury
received while engaged In digging
Ha well. The departed was forty
seven years of age.
Some six or eight weeks ago Mr..
Goodrich was sinking well on the

when he injured the second finger
of his right hand, small piece OF
tile falling upon the member. It
was at first considered Of no I'm
portance and after bandaging 1t, Mr..
Goodrich continued with his work.
However, a few days later erysipe-
las appeared. the finger began to
swell and the deceased was forced
to take to his bed. The swelling
continued until 1t attacked his right
arm and later HIS whole side be-
came involved. 1t was thought for a
time that the patient was consider
ably better, but his final taking
away seems to indicate that these
hopes were only temporary.
The Goodrich family have. been
conducting The Savoy during the
past year and a half. The family
looked after the store, while Mr..
Goodrich was engaged In the we'll
drilling business. Before going In
to The Savoy they resided in the
northwest part Of town.
The deceased was well known
and was regarded as an upright. In
dustrious man and good citizen.
The many friends Of the family ex-
Press much sympathy for the strick-
en- ones.

1864. upon a farm in Webster
county. Iowa. He was married TO
Miss Lily Stillman March rs. 1890.

voter hates to cast his ballot for a
man who afterwards acts against his
wishes.
The question whether candidates
should or should not pledge them
selves in advance is not one that can
be settled in a sweeping way. AS a
general thing, the independent legis
lator keeps his mind open until the
final show down. and dislikes to tie
himself up in advance But occasions
ally there come square issues of right
and wrong, where the voters want the
sheep and the goats lined up before
the ballot box by definite pledges. In
seeking to secure such pledges, the
newspaper is simply the agent Of the
people.
