Mrs. A. M. Ehrhardt Dies.

The following article from the
Omaha Sunday World-Herald will
be read with sorrow by many of
our citizens who became acquaint-
ed with the deceased while she
was visiting here with her son,
E. M. Ehrhardt, several years
ago.
Stanton. Neb., April 1. Au-
gusta M. Ehrhardt, whose maid
ed name was Augusta Moore,
passed away at the family home
in Stanton March 20 after pro-
longed illness. She was born
September II, 1856, near Ottum-
wa, la. November, 1879, she was
married to John A. Ehrhardt at
West Point, Neb. Two children
came, one staying with them for
only few months. Another
son, K. M. Ehrhardt, of the firm
of Tate-Ehrhardt company, in
the City National bank building,
Omaha, was at the bedside of his
mother when the end came. Mrs.
Ehrhardt's mother, Mrs. Brimm,
who is 78 years of age, was at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
McGinitie, in Neigh, and was in
too feeble health to come to Stan
ton. Eugene Moore, of st. Louis,
Mo-, a brother, and Mrs. McGin-
itie, sister, attended the funer-
al services.
Mrs. Ehrhardt attended the
schools at Ottumwa, Ia, and be-
gan teaching when girl. She
was teaching at West Point, Neb.,
when she was married to Colonel
Ehrdardt. She was actively en-
gagged in club work and took
great delight in following the
courses Of study. She was
vice-president of the Nebraska
State Federation of Women's
clubs for the third district. She
joined the Sorosis club in Stanton
shortly after it was organized and
was one of the leading spirits in
its club life. She was the first
worthy matron for the,local chap
ter of the Order of Eastern Star.
In 1894-95, when Colonel Ehr-
hardt was grand master of the
Masonic fraternity, there was
much suffering throughout the
state, occasioned by the failure
of crops and the financial depres-
sion. Mrs. Ehrhardt went into
the Office Of her husband and as
sisted him in administering relief
and attended to the voluminous
correspondence that the Office en-
tailed.
When quite young she united
with the Methodist church and
had been faithful and devoted to
her church work. With her hus-
band and mother she was one of
the original thirteen to organize
the Methodist church in Stanton.
The funeral services were held
in the church Friday afternoon,
conducted by the pastor, Rev.
John F. Poucher, a vast concourse
of people being present, many of
them being friends from all over
the state.
In the death of Mrs. Ehrhardt
Stanton loses one of the most
brilliant and accomplished wo-
men,"

his coat and laid it behind a bush
and then placed the revolver
near his head and pulled the trig-

behind the left ear and came out
behind the right ear, inhicting a
wound that proved fatal a few
hours later. Shortly after 6
o'clock Hunt went in search of
Greene and on being told the
direction he had taken soon found
him lying where he fell. He
was taken home and given every
medical aid but all in vain.

Popular Ex-President Talks to
Eight Thousand People at Ida
hos University City---StilI
Likes the Babies.

'iie SCdIe are present To-Day TO
welcome Roosevelt.
The colonel was escorted to the
university by the university cad
cts, where he addressed the peo-
pie on the campus, from plat
form composed of thousands of
sacks of wheat. He was given
an ovation.
His speech dealt on the great
growth of Idaho and the west
and what irrigation has done for
the northwest.
For the first time on this trip
Colonel Roosevelt alluded to the
vexed question of conservation.
He said:
Il am in favor of scientific i'm
provement of forests and opposed
to the policy of destruction" He
urged the leasing of water power
sites from the government but no
sale of sites.
Conservation of the resources
of the nation. an elimination of
the waste of water power and
timber, attribute to the pioneer
that paved the way, word to
the young man as to his duties
in life, a tribute to the military
training, advice to the father and
mother in doing the useful things,
denunciation of the crook, rich
and poor alike, and a glowing
tribute to the value of the uni
versity in upbuilding good citi-
zenship, were features that mark
ed the address of Colonel Roose-
welt on the campus of the Uni
versity of Idaho this morning.
He opened his remarks with a
few words of appreciation of the
welcome from the people of Ida
no. He referred to past visits in
the state and paid a tribute to the
pioneers of the state whom he
said paved the way for future
development.

the University of Idaho," he said.
1T is the Institution from which
springs our best citizenship"
He talked of the duties of the
American farmer in making his
land produce the best there is in
them. He said that while he
liked all the crops the one. crop
he liked better was the little ones
which the mothers are carrying
around in their arms here today,
the baby crop. He said that un-
less the farmer did his duty in
all these things he could not be a
good citizen. He said the state
must conserve it's natural re-
sources and keep things in shape
for the future generations. He
said that man should use the tim
ber right, and see that the young
timber is protected and the
chances of forest fires eliminated.
He said if this policy was not
carried out by the strong men of
the nation they were not fit for
self-government. He said in
timber and water power that he
did not want to see the great
corporations gobble them up.
Don't give away anything in
perpetuity that should come back
to your decendants," he said.
Don't waste or give away your
children's heritage. He favored
in his remarks the election OF
