W.. III. Carter.

At 7:3O Wednesday morning
occurred the death of Mr.. w. HI.
Carter at the Geo. Slingsby farm
west of this city. Death was
caused by a general breakdown,
due to old age as he was eighty
eight years old. Mr.. Carter and
his wife came to this country
about seven years ago and have
since made their home with Mrs.
Carter's daughter, Mrs, Sings
by. Besides his wife and step
daughter, he leaves a daughter
in Iowa to mourn his death. The
funeral services will be held at
the farm at 1870 this afternoon
and interment will be made in
the Hope cemetery. Rev. Hitch

Under the auspices of the M.

ley displayed her collection of
beautiful Wax Works at the
opera house Tuesday evening to
a large and appreciative audi
ence and made a very favorable
impression. From the little
men of Yore" up to the mighty
Uncle Sam"every figure showed
wonderful ingenuity and barring
a breakdown by Madam Squeel-
ina and an accident to the Bach
elor and his Bride -to-be, every
thing worked as smoothly as
machines which were, in the
words of Mrs. farley, block
heads. Mrs. farley proved her
self to be a very attractive enter
tainer and was ably assisted by
her maid, Nell, and machinist,
Peter, who created some amuse-
ment by his careful attention to
the figures with his buster, oil
can, wrench and winding appar.
atus.
During the intermissions vocal
solos were rendered by Miss
Prudence Mark, of Neville, Mrs.
Graham and Mrs. Warren, all OF
which received hearty applause
as did the solo of Miss Edna

Owing to the heavy rains Tues

the marching to the cemetery,
was omitted, but the afternoon
exercises we're held in the city

strong, patriotic address was
given by the Rev. Hitchcock as a
fitting climax for a splendid pro-
gramme. 1t is to be regretted
that the weather conditions were
not more favorable so that more
out-of town people could have
been in attendance.

GREAT BURDEN OF THE laps
Attempt to Be Modern and Conpea-
tive With Limited Resources 10
Heavy Task

In trying to be modern and COM
petitiye with limited natural re-
sources, the burden placed upon the
industrious inhabitants Of Japan is
very great. Poetry, cherry blossoms
and chrysanthemums are at a sad
discount in conflict with the natural
advantages and organized resources
Of the western world. That 50 much
has been done is marvellous; that
much more will be done is a natural
expectancy; but the load is enoF-
NOUS and the shoulders few. For,
after all the Japan Of today is the
creation of a few minds who, ACT
ing together, as did the great fathers
Of the American republic, have pro-
duGed a reversal of habits in indus
try and government so radical as to
excite the utmost amazement and a
doubt whether this wisdom can en-
dure and perpetuate Itself ON such
lines.
