Obituary.

of Mir. and Mrs. Eugene Wallis,
died at her home in Syracuse on
Monday night, January %, 1911,
at the age of IL years, 2 months
and 2 days.
Esther had been i'll for some
time and for many days had been
considered dangerous yet every
thing was done that could be
done to save her. Physician,
nurse and family fought to mold
the door against death bat III
vain. While all her friends knew
that she was dangerously ill the
news OF her death was u shock to
the many people to whom the
little girl had endeared herself.
Esther was converted, DaptlSeo
and united with the Methodist
church d ilCtle later than a year
ago, and from that time to this
her church and her church WORK
mad occupied a large space in her
heart, and was just budding into
what promised 70 De very con-
secrated religious life. She mao
remarked at Christmas time that
ii she did not get but one thing
for Christmas she wanted that
TO be a bible. She has left behind
for those who love her to treas
ure and read, and it is To be hop
ed that all who love her may tlnd
in it that hope which never dies.
Esther was truly an exception
al little girl, very thoughtful and
in the work OF the household
capable beyond her years. She
was always the same sweet tenn
pered, kindly child, patient, low
ing and lovable. She endeared
herself to all who knew her ana
leaves behind for all who came
in touch with her the precious
legacy OF a fragrant memory.
The funeral was held at the
Methodist church Wednesday at
ternoon, January rs, 1911, con-
Quoted by her pastor, Rev. o.. y.
Carter, to whom she had endear-
ed herself ana who in beginning
his discourse remarked that he
wished that he might have had
the privilege to sit with the fam
lily as d mourner, rather than TO
officiate at the service. The
church was crowded with the
good people of Syracuse and vi
cinity, few were the eyes that
were not -dimmed with tears and
no heart hut what was full of
sympathy for the sorrowing fam
lily. The remains were laid to
rest in the Syracuse cemetery.
Thoughtful friends had lined the
grave with beautiful white, trim
med with evergreen, which with
the profusion of beautiful flowers
made her resting place like the
entrance into paradise, which it
was.
Those from abroad in attend
ance at the funeral were Mr. and
Mrs. r. V. Nance and Charley
Nance of Stonington, Colorado;
Mr.. and Mrs. r. E. Wallis of
Winfield, Kansas; A. B. Wallis,
of La Junta, Colorado; and R. j.
Cockrum and daughter, Ethel,
of Monon, Colorado.
The above details of the illness
and beautiful tribute to Esther
Ella Willis is taken from the
Hamilton County Republican.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallis are among
the Oldest residents OF Stonlng-
ton. They were married here
and all of the children reared in
our midst. The family have been
residing during the winter mos.
for the past two years at SYRIA
cuse for the purpose of giving
the children more convenient
school opportunities.

is A "TURKEY
RAFFLE' GAMBLING?
If NOT, WHY NOT?

Under the Holley reform admins
tration it seems that gambling is
running rampant. Not only are the
regular gambling rooms running
practically wide open, but in many
saloons in the city they are running
Turkey Raffles." The method used
is the wheel of Fortune
Now, if this is not gamb-
ling, we would like to know
wat is. Here a paddle is bought,
the numbers on it to correspond
with the numbers on the wheel
should the wheel rot stop at one of
the numbers represented on the pad
die hled by the purchaser, the Dur-
chaser loses. ana the operator wins
Our city and county officials stopped
the slot machines in saloons and
public places. II there was n law
prohibiting this mode of gambling
why is there not Il law prohibiting
these turkey rafIies? There must be
such law. Then why is it not
enforced? Are the people runnin.
these rafiles paying so much graft
money for the right to rob? Boot
Logging thrives under the present ad-
ministration. The gambling. rooms
have run and are still running. but
have the decency to run under cover.
This turkey rattle is running wide
open. Who is getting the graft? We
know who got it from the bootleg
gers. and who is getting it from the
gambling rooms, and from all indi-
cations the same grafters and politi-
cal prostitutes are reaping a rich
harvest from the turkey rafTles.
Mayor Holley, your ''reform adj
ministration' seems to be deformed.

Let every man who will now or
at any time, say that our beloved
city cannot do as much as other West
Virginia cities have done, put on the
wooden shoes of CONTIGUOUS and mi
CRATE to the celestial empire where
his stupid ideas will find sympathy
and nourishmeut in that whirlpool
of stagnation and vacillation, and
where those who will allow personal
interest to close their eyes to the
welfare of theier native city, will
find comfort among those who know
not progress, and to whom freedom
OF mind and of body is a stranger.
For you and each of you, let
public ownership of the water
works" be your slogan, and let those
who oppose it, be your enemies Be
not deceived by juggled figures;
when the time shall come to buy
the water works, you will buy it,
You shall have the experience of "a
hundred cities: Watch for it. Keep
an eye to your home and your future.
If they tell you that municipal water
works systems are q failure, ask
them to show you the figures. 1t
they tell you that Charleston cannot
do what other cities have done, in
quire of their civic pride. If they
say they will furnish you with bet
ter franchise than the one last pre-
sented, remember that it. was they
who gave you the telephone merger.
Then ask them who it was that gave
You the three cent per mile rate on
the c. e o. Railroad. Say to them,
that promoters are seldom if ever,
builders; that eNploiters are friends
only to themselves. And last of all
stand by the city council that has
50 manfully stood by you, and the
City of Charleston will buy ans op-
crate its own water works system
without the expense of one cent to
the tax payers of our growing city
