ON HIS LAST
LONG JOURNEY
Oldest Clark County Settler Who
Made Four Trips to Far North.
west Departs on Longer
Travel.
rs SUMMONED BY DEATH
Coming to County Nearly Eighty
Years Ago, j.. N. Mitchell Be-
came Widely Known
to Citizens.

j. M. Mitchell, the pioneer settler
of Clark county, Mo-, who made four
trips with oxen to the northwest bord
er during the time of early civilization
in the west, died at his home in Way
land late Friday afternoon at the age of
eighty years. He was the father of
Mrs. r. j. Colvin and Miss Ella Mitch
ell of Keokuk, and Mrs. R. L. Arnold
Wayland, Mo-, and w. L. Mitchell, of
Portland, Oregon, and the grandfather
of DR.. F. J, Arnold of this city.
Mr.. Mitchell was an ideal type of
early settler and lived life that,
carried with 1t much travel in the
times when railroads did not make
travel the comfort that it now u.s.
Four times Mr.. Mitchell made trips
to Portland and Oregon behind teams
of oxen, all OF them being of a pros
pecting nature.
He was born in Kentucky, but
came to Clark county at the age of
four years. He was war veteran and
added experiences of the war to many
others of his active life. On one oc-
casion he was stationed at Hannibal,
Mo, expecting to be called to the
front at any time, this being during
the civil war. His daughter, who is
now Mrs. Colvin, was then a babe
and critically i'll at home. Wishing to
go to his childs bedside, Mr.. Mitchell
found it difficult to obtain permission
and did SO only after he had paid $50
to substitute to remain for only a
week.
Mr.. Mitchell was widely known
through Clark county, where he spent
practically his entire life, He has
been a farmer who prospered and was
man who gained wide friendship
in his community.

Something Aobut the Machine.

When John G. Ford invented the
facial and hair treatment machine,
with its drying, cooling and other ac-
cessory features. he had in mind
power generated device that would be
the simplest, yet most effective as
well as inexpensive equipment for the
modern tonsorial establishments. Tnat
he was eminently successful in con
ceiving these principles and building
such machine can only be accredited
by those who have seen its workings
and in the past two or three weeks
many have visited the work room In
the barn loft.
The machine proper, without the
motor, which. by the way, may be IN
creased in size, according to desire o.

First Machine too Heavy,


The first treatment machine made
by Mr.. Ford was too heavy to be port
able with any degree of comfort, 1t
weighing fifty pounds or more. The
first attempt at what eliminated in
the present invention, was commenced
on the twenty-third of February, 1910.
Then after finding that his first ma
chine was too heavy, Mr.. Ford COM
menced last November on the one
which he finished Friday of last week
Mr.. Ford made a trip to Chicago be-
fore commencing the first machine
and made the discovery that rotary
air pump machine, such as his is. can
be manufactured for about one-third
the cost it is when put together in
this city 1t is probable that later
developments of the industry will re-
uuire the establishment of plant
here to cast the various parts of the
machine and another valuable enter
prise will take its place among Keo-
kuk's manufactures.

IN the civil war when on account of
gunshot wound he was discharged.
IN 1864 he went to Montreal, Can
ada, for his health and while there
nrst conceived the iaea which has b j.

a man and from that received his
knowledge which in later years has
served him SO we'll.
In 1879, John C. Ford went to Chi

chine business but his partner dying,
a fortune was swept away because Of
the loss of capital in death.
Later Mr.. Ford went to Joliet, Pitts
burg, St Louis and other cities, where
ne was superintendent of various
manufacturing plants.

web printing press for roll wrapping
paper ever constructed in the United
States. The press was built for VIM.

pressure pumps that proved satisfac-
tory where others failed were built by
Mr.. Ford. He was also manufacturer

VARYING STORIES
OF BORDER TROUBLE
Mexico City Hears One, WASHINGTON
Another.

Washington. ID. c., May 2-The
modified Mexican reply to President
Taft's protest against the border
fighting has been received by the
state department. While Mexico has
withdrawn some features of the
original answer. there are indications
that conflicting information has
reached Washington and Mexico.
Both governments are seeking
further light on the actual happenings
at the border town. The state de-
partment will respond to counter re-
presentations in. the Mexican reply
Its investigation is completed.
Reports of the situation i'm Mexico
that reach President Taft are not en-
couraging. and today the cabinet dis
cussed at length the prospects for
peace or for further trouble in that
republic.
American cattle owners who have
ranches in Mexico have appealed to
this government for permission to
bring their cattle across the Rio
Grande in bond, and the matter was
referred to Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh. and Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson. Mr.. Wilson is in
terested because of his efforts to keep
tick infested herds of cattle out of

STRUCK AN OBSTACLE
IN WOOLEN SCHEDULE
The House Democrats Already Modify
ing Boosted Plans.

Washington. May 2-The house COM
mittee on ways and means will next
week begin the revision of the wool
schedules. 1t is the policy of the
speaker and Majority Leader Under
wood and other democratic leaders not
to submit a bill placing raw wool on
the free list. That a majority of the
democrats of the ways and means COM
mittee favored free raw wool until a
few days ago there is no doubt, but a
majority of the democrats could not
swing such a bill even in committee,
nor could a majority of the democrats
of the house effect it's passage.
The progressives believe in gradu-
al reduction of raw wool and the plan
is now for a 80 per cent reduction the
first of the year, or a tariff Of about 6
cents a pound, a cent a pound to be
taken off each year for five years. at
the end of which time the commodity
shall go on the free list. Such a COM
promise will doubtless be approved be-
fore the bill reaches the house.
