OTTO A. SCHATz IS SUMMONED BY DEATH

A good man has been called ont of the
activities of mortal existence to a
higher and better life. Tuesday morn
ing, Mr.. Otto A. Schatz, one of the most
respected citizens and business men of
our city, experienced the transition
which mOrtals call death, after an ill
ness OF two years, passing away at his
home, 406 Jefferson street. The departed
was born in the town of Ixonia, May 13,
1885, and engaged in the shoe business
in this city for period IF twenty-five
years, retiring about year ago on ac.
count of impaired health. 1t can be said
OF the departed without exaggeration,
that he was one of Gods noblemen and
will be greatly missed by his family,
friends and those who knew him best
He is SUI yived by his widow and four
children, Helen, Herbert, Gertrude and
Lorraine, of this city. His brother,
Bruno Schatz and two sisters, Mrs. II.
G. CRUDE and Adelia Schatz, also sur
vive, who have the sympathy of all in
their great bereavement. The deceased
was member of the Modern Woodmen
of America and the Equitable Fraternal
Union and held in high esteem by the
members of both societies.
The funeral took place yesterday after
noon at the home at 2 o'clock and was
conducted by the Rev N. c. Daniel,
pastor of the Congregational church
and the interment was in Oak Hill
cemetery.

To Whom it May Concern.

The printer who goes through the
world with a crouch, who is always
watching for an opportunity to "get
square" with somebody whom he thinks
has done him an injury, is at a great
disadvantage. The desire for revenge
acts in the system like leaven or pois-
on, crippling the brain power and in
ducing unhappiness. No one can do his
best when he has an unkind feeling or
resentment in his heart toward his fell
low men.-Printing Trade News.

If the farmer has been at loss how
to improve his road, he can find out
all about it by attending the train ex
hibit. Arrangements may even be
made SO that the persons in each
town along the route to be traversed
may send in specific questions before
the train arrivex, to be answered in
the lectures that will be given The
aim of promoters of the enterprise is
to aid each individual case as much
as to stimulate general interest in the
good roads movement.
There will be two lecturers from the
provement train and the Southern
Railway Company will carry it's land
and industrial representative along
These men will be prepared to lecture
explain and give aid to the thousands
of persons who are expected to attend
the lectures in each town. The agri.
cultural officials of each state will also
be asked to accompany the train while
it is in his territory. Other officials
will be notified from time to time. and
the county supervisors will probably
find the exhibit decidedly instructive
All the associations whose aim it is to
build improve and maintain highways
will be invited to take part in the meet
ings
1t is hoped by the hackers of the
movement that the road improvement,
train will stimulate the interest of the
sections visited, bring about the
enactment of uniform laws and uni
form methods in the handling of the
improvement and maintenance oil

opportunity to realize the full econom
ic value of complete system of i'm

BLIND HORSE GAVE
A DIAMOND SHOWER

New York, April 22.-The tradition
al bull in a china shop was run close
second by horse-an aged and total
ly blind horse-which kicked his way
through two big plate glass windows
of a jewelry store at Maiden Lane and
Broadway and sent 100000 worth of
diamonds in the window flying in all
directions. Precious stones by the
tens of thousands of dollars worth
were swept into the streets, buried
amongst masses of finely broken
glass.
Policemen had all they could do to
control the crowds which pushed into
the thick of the fray and watched the
proprietors and clerks of the jewelry
establishment in a mad scramble to
pick the gems out of the Debris and
save everything possible.
The jewelers. said it would take an
inventory TO tell whether anybody had
got away with any of the gems.
