What the Missouri
Editors Are Saying
Is 1t Reasonable Trust.
Wonder if the Pullman trust is a
reasonable" one? We know some
people who don't think so.-Boon-
vile Advertiser.
Lorimer Might Resign.
1t is now believed that Senator
Lorimer will resign if he is assured
that his successor will be someone
fully acceptable to the lumber in
terests and the packers. -Sedalia
Capital
I And He Is Honored.
All honor to the man who earns
his living by honest toll. He is al
ways on the front seat of the COM
munity band wagon. He is the
first resident to greet the stranger
and tell him that he is visiting the
best town in the state. Burlington

The Salt of the Earth
The progressive citizen, regardless
of his political or sectarian views,
is the salt of the earth. In what
ever sphere of human endeavor our
I7t9 be cast, let's not hinder the
" eels of progress and growth. Let's
be progressive. -Linneus Bulletin.
Is Proud of House.
The more we read of the facts
connected with the Canadian reci-
procity bill and subsequent free
measures passed by the lower house
of Congress as it is now constituted
we realize there is a body of men
who are doing all they can to bring
the necessaries of life to a competi-
tive basis. - Memphis Democrat.
Cox Would Give Them Away.
1t is now said that the Republi-
can bosses dared not let Boss Cox
90 to the penitentiary for fear he
would expose them and show up
their rascality. They got Dickson
to acquit Cox if the latter would
get out of politics and keep his
mouth shut. Cox will now be
placed in the galleys of martyrs
along with Cannon, Aldrich, Lori
mer, Stephenson, Ballinger & Co.

Big Demand for Missouri Pacific.
There is an overwhelming de-
mand for the Missouri Pacific note
issue, even before all the details
are published. How that rate de-
cision destroyed the power of the
railroads to raise money! 1t is now
said that the equipment is very
likely to produce disaster and loss

Getting Within Hailine Distance.

1t looks as if the amendment to
the constitution providing for direct
election of United States senators is
within measurable distance. Every
thing points that way, for the OPP
ponents of the movement by their
actions have Internationally helped
forward it as much as it advocates
have done so Intentionally. Its
adoption would not necessarily pro-
duce a political millennium, but in
all probability it would result in the
choice of senators more representa-
tive of the people and more respon-
sible to their will Lebanon Rus tier

Had to Camp Out

People who took the last southbound trolley ear from the Lake Saturday night did not reach their homes until the next morning. A car with bro- ken axle near the car barn was so loca- ted that no other car could be put out on the line to go southward.
 The people who lived in Danielson walked the few miles home, but pas sengers for Wauregan, Central Village, and Moosup, stayed at the car barn. They occupied seats in empty cars and various other places until the early morning. There were probably some worried relatives at the other end of the route, but those who were caught away from home rather enjoyed the experience.

Obituary
MRS. V. SIMMONS

Mrs. Gertrude Burleigh simmons of Frostproof, Florida, died lon Tuesday, August l, at the home of her brother in-law, Daniel Allen, in Plainfield. She had been in Plainfield three weeks and was planning to visit large circle of friends from whom she had been separated by her long residence in Florida. Although upon her arrival in the north her health seemed serious ly impaired, she made a brave attempt 10 ignore her illness, but without avail, the end coming quietly. Much sym. pathy Is expressed for the aged hus- band, the two daughters and son in l their far of southern home.
 Mrs. Gertrude Elizabeth Burleigh Simmons was the oldest daughter of Rev. Lucian and Elizabeth Child Bur leigh, and was born in Woodstock, March 10, lSl4.
 The teaching faculty inherent in the family, was early manifest. Her life work as a teacher began at the age of fifteen, and for a peried of forty-five yearslshe had imparted to countless | pupils the fruits of cultured mind, and the influence of character mod eled upon that of the Divine Teacher. She had taught in the Academy and public schools of Plainiield, killingly and Griswold, and in more recent years in Florida.
 She was married in 1873 to Varnum r. Simmons of Danielson, now of | Frostproof, Florida, who survives her. Two sons and two daughters also | mourn the loss of a devoted mother, Justin B. Simmons of West Boylston, Mass, Ernest R., of Fort Meade, Flor ida, Mrs. Alice R. Langford and Miss Mary B. Simmons of Frostproof MT. and Mrs. Simmons removed to Florida in lSS5. There, ,as everywhere, she was active in all forms of work that tend to the betterment of social and religious forces. She was espec- ially interested in temperance and Sunday school work and has imprint ed living truths on the minds of many rough cowboys who reverence her as a | mother.
 Her death came as peculiarly se- we're shock, as few realized her state of i'll health, Her life has stood for truth, purity, and self.sacritice. The funeral was held in the Congregational church, Plainfield, on Friday afternoon.

O. F. LYON

(From The Plaindeaier, Ouray, Col orado, July 2s, l9i1J
 Sunday afternoon neighbors who had become alarmed owing to the fact that the man had not been seen for sev- erM days, entered the home of 0. r. Lyon, one of the pioneer citizens Of the Ironton district, and were mortified to find him dead in his bed.
 MT. Lyon lived alone. On Thurs day he was seen by number of peo- pie and it was known that he was not feeling well. However he was able to be around and apparently was only slightly indisposed.
 As far as we can learn Mr. Lyon was not seen alive after Thursday. Coroner James Doran was notified and went up to Ironton early Monday morning. Later Dr. l.. G. Crosby ex- amined the body. Apparently death had occurred from "A to 36 Hours prior to the finding of the body by George T. Butcher, a neighbor.
 
 pneumonia caused death. An autopsy was not considered necessary, The remains were brough. to MT. Doran's undertaking parlors and a message sent to brother, 0. II. Lyon, residing at Leominster, Mass, who promptly wired Mir. Doran asking that the body be prepared for burial and that he would start at once for Ouray. In all probability ,the body willbe shipped to the old home of the deceas- ed In Connecticut for burial.
 o. r. Lyon came to Ouray about 1882 and settled at Ironton. For years | he was in business in the town, in the early and palmy days of the camp, and | he was also extensively engaged in 1 mining. He became the owner of con- siderable Ironton town property and much of this property as we'll as min ing claims he still possessed at the time of his death.
 MT. Lyon held the office of county | commissioner for at least two years in the sos. He was a man of splendid character, good citizen and respected by all who knew him. He had lived alone for years, but in spite of his soli- tary life he had many friends.
 George Lyon of Woodstock went to Colorado and returned with the body on Monday. Funeral services were held in the South Woodstock church Tuesday.
