gave to the police. to whom the con-
ductor Of the train turned her over.

but was dismissed FROM custody at
that time. This morning she decided
to come to the city and boarded the
train at Thompson. On the way to
the city she was extremely garrulous
and was apparently suffering from
mental troubles.
She was taken to the city jail by the
police officers. where she started to
talk Norwegian. she did not appear to
be able to understand English. Later
when Sheriff Benson came to take
charge of her. she surprised the boys
at headquarters by refusing to talk
Norwegian with the sheriff. hut by
changing to the English language.
The officials are awaiting the arrival
Of the husband from Thompson when
she will be taken before the county
board and examined as TO her sanity.

Barnes

On Wednesday, May %, 1912 at
II o'clock God called at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Barnes and
taken from our midst their only
son, Claude.
He was taken sick about ten days
ago with pneumonia, but his death
was unexpected. His funeral was
preached at Mt. Vernon, at 3 p m.
Thursday, after which the remains
were laid peacefully away in Mt.
Vernon cemetery.
From US dear little Claude has
gone,
His footsteps we hear no more
God has called him home to occupy
His vacation place in heaven.
Hard, o how hard to give him up
But God says
Suffer little children to come un-
to Me and forbid them not for of
such is the kingdom of heaven"

ed him while here on earth. Don't
think he is dead for he is not. he
has only gone home to be with
Jesus in Heaven; only waiting for
the loved ones here on this wide
shore. A Friend.

Stanford.

D. j. Stanford was born in Oneida
County. N. Y, Oct. is, 1886. and
grew to manhood on a farm. After
receiving a common school educa-
ton, the best the state afforded, he
pursued a scientific course in
Whites town Seminary. He quail
fled himself to teach, which pro-
fession he followed several years.
He moved to Illinois in 1851. In
1878 he was elected County Survey
or of Livingstone County. which po-
sitiOn he held for thirty years to the
eminent satisfaction of the people.
Eighteen months ago he suffered a
stroke of paralysis from which he
never recovered. Since coming to
Monroe City he suffered a second
stroke. The end came May 20, at
2:15 a. m.
AS a citizen he was frequently
called upon to serve in a public ca
pacity and was always faithful to
his trust. He was willing to serve
the world at the expense of his own
private interests and at the sacrifice
of selfish motives. He would not
resent injuries, as some do, but
would bear and forget.
He was devoted husband and
father, and unselfsh in his love and
affection To keep his life unspotted
from the world was passion with
him. Things that others considered
unharmful he shut out from his
own life that he might not run no
risk of bringing reproach upon his
profession as a Christian. He was
a comrade, a friend and a brother
to his children. These with his de-
voted wife and many friends mourn
his loss. %x*

Get Business by Advertising in the Democrat
Moonlight Picnic.

On Monday evening, MessTs NJ.
Tooley, Rush Buell., J. Henderson,
Richard Asbury, Charles Sullivan,
Paschal Davis, j. B. Hagan, Lewis
Bell, Carl Sharp and Ed jayne ac-
companied by Misses Powell, Boul-
ware, Guitar Arnold, Elizabeth
Patterson, Edna Webster Gilmore,
Walker, and Mildred Buell., with the
party chaperoned by Dr. and Mrs.
Buell. and Mr.. and Mrs. Jamie Proc
tor, went out to the Nolen school
house to spend the evening.
Soon after arriving on the grounds
a heavy rain storm set in and
everybody made for the school
house but imagine their feelings
when it was discovered that it was
locked and the windows nailed
down. A small coal shed with a
leaky roof offered all the shelter in
sight but under the circumstances
no time was lost in taking advan-
tage Of its friendly but scant pro-
lection. Did it rain? Well don't
mention it. Some of the boys de-
clare they thought they would sure
ly be drowned and the efficiency of
prayer (for the young ladies of
course) was seriously considered
before the storm finally broke and
allowed the rain soaked picnicers
to return to their homes.
1t is hinted that it is not safe to
mention the circumstance to the
young ladies but the young gentle
men of the party faced the street
jokers fairly well, although it was
evident to the casual observer that
the joke was hurting. The climax
came when directors Hays and
Elzea of the Nolen school district
appeared on the streets Tuesday
morning. Although these gentle,
men were perfectly ignorant of what
was going on the word was quietly
passed around that they were in
town for the purpose of prosecuting
the picnicers for trespassing on pub
lie property or something of that
kind. Pretty soon there was hur-
rying to and fro and two or three
very anxious countenances might
be seen moving nervously among
their friends when somebody let
out the secret that the prosecution
story was only a joke.
