TRIBUTE OF LOVE
PRESCOTT CHAPTER NO. 153 O..
 k, s.

k. 5.
 As one by one our loved ones and our cherished friends glide away from us unseen, our chap ter has been called upon to give up our beloved Doctor Adam Guthrie. His death is a loss and a grief to all of our cOmmun- ity. But to such man himself christian man, eXemplifying christianity in deeds of faith, hope, and charity, faithful in the discharge of every duty to his family, his neighbors, his coun. ty, his God and humanity, what we call Death is not death, but the glad beginning of Life to which he was called while busy in his cherished profession, We can say nothing to heal the wounded hearts, or comfort the bereaved family. yet we would offer our symathies and point them to the one who knoweth and doeth all things well.
 There are sorrows in all aven- ues of the world that only God understands yet love infinite and divine hovers over us, and over all bitterness Love is at work, over all sin love will triumph, and righteousness shall shine forth as the day. It must be so; each fond heart will be clinglng
 To the dear memories that throng the past
 Their loving ways and pleas, ant voices bringing.
 From the receding past.
 We must rememb Der but not all in sorrows:
 Our tears must fall but not forever sad;
 From their full joy sweet con- fort we may borrow.
 And that shall make US glad. All done! We'll done, life's warfare safely ended
 Their heaven begun the crown upon their brow:
 For them life's light and shade no more are blended.
 Theirs the glory now.

How many merchants and busi- nnss men have stopped to con- sider how much Prescott has lost in dollars and cents this year on account of bad roads. We would not be exaggerating to say that we have lost thousands and on short notice can furnish h e proof. But first let us do some thing toward making the streets here in town good enough to get about over. It is a very poor argument to say that the streets will be good when better weather comes. They really can't get much worse for that matter, but let alone, they would be filled with mud after every summer shower, and even when thorough lv dry, would be too uneven and rough to travel over with com fort. Show your interest in this all.important home question by attending the mass meeting call. ed by the mayor for next Tues day night the 18th.

WaIler.ROuse Wedding


 doors to throngs of friends and relatives gathered there to wit. ness the marriage of Miss Mar ion Waller to Mr. Horace K. Rouse, of Little Rock.
 The hall and parlors were beautifully decorated with smil. ak white sweet peas and valley lilies, while soft, shaded candles cast a rose glow over the kand- somely gowned wom en and gal lant men; making scene of beauty and color long to be re membered.
 When the hour had arrived. Miss Mary Milburn took her place at the piano and, in re- sponse to the melody, Misses Leona Stone and Corra Copeland lifted soft voices in that beauti- ful song, Bid Me to Love-"
 As the last note died away, the music changed to Lohengrin's s Wedding March and little flower girls, Norvelle Bemis and Mil dred Brown, in white lingerie dresses came scattering rose petals in the pathway and the brides tiny nephew, Will Ed Waller, followed bearing in a big pink rose, the emblem of mar riage.
 When they had taken their places, the two beautiful brides: maids, Misses Zalinda Brown and Phles Stone, in floating white chiffon over green, with arm bouquets of pink carnations added their note of artistic col> bring to the artistic group.
 Proceeding the bride came the Matron of Honor, Mrs. W. w. Taylor, who wore a handsome gown of pale green and carried Easter lilies. She was attend ed by the best man, MT. Joe Gray Quinn.
 And then-leaning on the arm of her handsome lover came the sweet and dainty bride, with her bouquet of bride roses and lilies of the valley, looking, in her trailing gown Of satin, Duchess lace and pearls, softly enveloped in flimsy folds of misty tulle which floated about her froW the crown of her sweet brown head to the end of the long square train of her bridal gown, as if a beautiful fairy wis ion had foated in to delight our eyes. When the minister, MT. H. W. Steen, had said the sweet old marriage ceremony, the sym bol of wifehood was placed upon her finger and these two young souls kneeled before the nan of God to receive his blessings be. fore they started down the jour- ney of life together. The minis isters softly uttered word S found a responsive Amen" in every heart present.
 When all had showered con- gratulations and good wishes upon the newly made husband and wife the bridal party led the way into the dining room, and, while waiting to be served, feasted their eyes on the exquis- ite decorations.
 The table held a heart center piece of valley lilies, white sweet peas and carnations while a beautiful shower of flowers and smilax fell from the chandelier. Ice cream roll in pink and white with pink heart cakes with sprays of valley lilies aud pink hints with dear little Cupid flirting outrt1eously from one side of the plate, added tinNh ing note to the beauty of the whole.
 Among the many beautiful gowns was that of the groom s mother, Mrs. E. E. Rouse, of Witchita, Kansas, who wore a handsome gown of white chiffon cloth and with her snowy hair and fresh youthful face she was very lovely.
 Mrs. W. W. Brown, of Cam den, wore an exquisite Parisian gown of lace over black satin

Dear Madam

The boys to whom you re- fer must have been reading fax ed literature. No such State> ment as you mention has ever issued from this office.
 In point of fact, the Burean of chemistry was instrumental in bringing famous suit against coca-cola company people on the ground that the caffeine which was added to their product was harmful substance.
 The suit was lost to the government, not on the ground that the caffeine was harmless, but on a technical point in the law that it was not an added" substance.
 1 consider the coca cola habit one of the most dangerous and insidious habits which is in ex- istence today and I believe that health officers, with the aid of parents, should do every thing in their power, to prevent child ren, especially, from acquiring the habit.
 Personally, l believe the sale of coca cola is violation of the Food and Drugs Act and of most of the laws of the states.
 l would be very glad to see its sale absolutely prohibited.

BYRON HAD LITERARY AGENT
Authors Representative Not New In
Vention for the Tormen. of
Publishers.

Much has been written lately about
literary agents, as if they were a new
invention of the Evil One for the tor
ment Of publishers. But in looking
over Byron's letters the following one
shows clearly enough that the first
John Murray, who published for Bryon,
had to cope with authors representa-
tives just as the third and fourth
John Murrays do today-and, by the
way, John Murray W., who is an &C
tive and pleasing young man, is taking
more and more of the burden of his
fathers business. Here is Byron's
letter to John l.:
Cant accept your courteous offer.
These matters must be arranged with
Mr.. Douglas Kinnaird. He is my trus-
tee and man of honor To him you
can state al your mercantile reasons,
which you might not like to state to
me personally, such as heavy season,

almost a century ago as it Is today.

The Platfcrm.

The democratic platform is one
that all lovers of true progress in
government can adopt and make
their own. Brief, as such documents
usually go. clear and to the point,
it constitutes set of political prin-
ciples--not mass of words framed
for vote catching purposes. It
directly attacks the root of the evils
OF which the people complain and
pledges the party to remedies
through the eradication of causes.
Especially strong is the pledge of
the party on the tariff issue. It is
the claim of the Democrats that
the federal government has mo
right or power to impose or collect
tariff duties except for the purpose
of revenue" and it pledges the re-
peal of such taxes as are a burden
imposed upon the mass of the people
for the enrichment of the few. Yet
it proposes no slashing, no running
amuck with established industry:
rather gradual reduction of the
tariff to revenue basis, that bust
ness may adjust itself to that cor
rect position.
And those duties which enter into
the high cost of living, it promises
to reduce at once.
Throughout there is the pledge of
progressive action, of performance
consistent with the interests of the
people, of restrict ton of the ''powers
that prey" Economy, parcels post,
the destruction and prevention OF
monopoly, sound banking, wise con-
servation-not faddism-pure food,
the reform of court practice, and
other vital issues are discussed in a
broad, comprehensive manner. The
excellent record of the Democratic
house is offered as a pledge of the
ability of the party to redeem it's
promises.
The platform is constructive, free
from impossibilities and word Jug
Cling, and is consistent with the
character of the nominees. 1t will
appeal strongly to the whole people.

The Closing Hours.

The national democratic convention
was in deadlock until the 45th bal
lot. This was taken on Tuesday af-
ternoon when the break came for
Woodrow Wilson. State after state
had swung into line for the New
Jersey man, and when Lis nomination
became assured-long before the 46th
roll call had been started-the dele
gates were in frenzy of enthusiasm.
Marshall's name had been withdrawn.
Harmon had retired from the race.
Champ Clark had released his dele
gates and made the way open to Will
son, and New York had swung into
line with a motion to nominate by
reclamation. Every address of with
drawal had been listened to in a
silence that was intense. But when
the speeches were ended and the NOM
nation of Wilson had become assured,
the convention went wild.
All bitterness was forgotten. All
feuds were buried. A unity of demo-
cratic spirit-to support the ticket
then nominated with the solid
strength of the democratic hosts
was evident everywhere and was ex-
pressed in cheers that made the raf-
tiers OF the huge building tremble.
Even Tammany's early hatred of Will
liam Jennings Bryan apparently had
become forgotten incident of the
heat of past struggle, and when the
great commoner arose and delivered
what he called his 'valedictory," he
received an ovation second only to
that which the announcement of the
nomination of Wilson aroused. And
he was cheered to the echo as he took
his seat in the Nebraska section.
While the Missouri delegation
blamed Bryan for the defeat of Clark,
and refused to forgive the Nebraskan,
the delegation, loyal to the last to
''old Champ Clark" joined in the rev.
elry as best they could and mingled
their cheers for Woodrow Wilson with
those of their convention neighbors,
the joyful twenty-four from New Jer-
sey.
The name of Gov. John E. Burke of
North Dakota, was withdrawn FOR
vice-presldent and Gov. Thomas r.
Marshall made unanimous.
The convention adjourned at 200
O'Clock a. m. Wednesday.

HARD ON MRS. PACKER, TOO
L!ttle Mistake In Matter Of Tickets
Causes No End Of Annoy
ance.

Burberry was a small and unimpor-
tant rural railroad station, and the
post of ticket agent was held by Mrs.
Nancy Dipple, an energetic woman
who lived near the tracks. Travel to
and from the town was light, and hav-
ing little use for separate office, Mrs
Dipple sold railroad tickets, when they
were called for, at her own house,
where she kept her stock for safety
In a bureau drawer.
Besides selling tickets, Mrs. Dipple
did for" a houseful of boarders and
a shiftless husband. A ticket for
town being required one day when the
agents hands were occupied with the
mixing of biscuit dough, Mrs. Dipple
requested her husband to act as her
representative, and he obligingly COM
piled. A little later he appeared In
the kitchen with a troubled brow.

any of the town tickets blue?"
"No-all red." said Nancy.
"Well. Mr.. Dipple rubbed his head
with a disturbed look,-"I sold Mrs.
Packer a blue ticket, an then after
wards 1 noticed some red tickets in
the drawer, an"

WAR is COSTING ITALY MUCH
at Nothing More Vulnerable
Than Desert Sands.

The correspondent of the London
Daily Express who Is now with the
Turkish forces In Tripoli says that
the Turks are hoping much from the
cost of the war to Italy. The war is
costing Turkey nothing, but the Ital-
ians are spending vast sums In inces-
SAINT cannonading at nothing more
vulnerable than the desert sands. The
correspondent says that there are Ital-
ian prisoners In the hands of the
Turks and that they are we'll treated,
and especially the wounded. He then
adds: 1.-THE Turkish doctors have
other patients, too. l was In one OF

The Democratic NomInes

The nomination of Governor Wood
row Wilson on the forty-sixtn ballot
at Baltimore, in the opinion of The
Herald, is fortunate thing, not
alone for the democratic party, but
for the country at large. The nomi-
nation of Wilson saves the country
from two standpat candidates by the
two leading political organizations,
which would have been the case if
either Harmon, Underwood or Clark
had been nominated.
Governor Wilson is one of the clean
est men in public life He is an even
tempered man, plain of speech and of
great ability. He is poor man. He
will sympathize with the plain, COM
mon people. He is not a radical
though progressive. OF Governor
Wilson it can truthfully be said that
he is an able representative of the
best thought in the United States to-
day. He represents the political
ideals as taught in practically all
higher institutions of learning.
With such a man as Wilson as the
candidate of the democratic party,
the issue in November cannot be in
doubt. There are more than three
million progressive republicans in
these United States, as shown in
Roosevelt's primary vote, that ought
not hesitate, nor do we think they
will, to vote for Governor Woodrow
Wilson. In him the plain people
have an ideal candidate Merrill

Woodrow Wilson.

The Journal feels that Woodrow
Wilson's nomination at this time
means as much as Lincoln's nomina-
tion meant. God gave this country
Abraham Lincoln in 1860. The Journ-
al solemnly believes that never
falling Providence gives us Woodrow
Wilson in 1912. During the civil war
patriotism and sentiment were called
forth and attained their highest
point. After the war materialism,
naturally and from the very need of
the country, began to find a place,
and has gone on increasingly. The
time has come when there must be a
halt and we must give our attention
and our efforts to the other things
to humanity and justice, to the
social and moral needs of the nation,
to securing all the equality intended
by the founders of the Republic.
The Interests that have mixed their
own affairs with government have
gone so far that many people have
despaired OF finding any remedy.
In Gov. Wilson the Democratic
party has found nominee who will
draw the votes of republicans out
ragged by the nomination CT Taft. So
far as the progressive republicans in
Wisconsin are concerned, they can
not be true to their own standards if
they do not come out boldly in sup
port of Wilson. Senator LaFollette
has spoken highly of Wilson, and
has said openly that he trusted
the democrats would nominate
him for president. For years the
progressive democrats of Wisconsin
have not hesitated to vote for Pro-
gressive republican candidates when
occasion demanded.
AS speaker, Gov. Wilson has nc
match in the country. His clear,
direct and beautifully rounded sen.
fences tell what he has to say simply
and forcibly, while he is so busy with
real constructive issues that he mas
not time for abuse or even condemna-
tion of other parties and candidates.
He will conduct a campaign of dig
nifty and character.
For the first time since the cam
paign of Cleveland in 1884 the indie
pendent papers of the country will be
united on a candidate. The men
who see clearly the need, the issues,
and the political lineup of the day,
and who are free to follow their con-
viction, will support Wilson with one
accord.
Now their republican brethren
will be put to test which will show
whether they are as patriotic as the
Milwaukee Journal.

MAKING MONEY WITH GAS
Up-to-Date Equipment Installed In
New Melting House of Brit
ish Mint.

Four tons of gold will on an aver
age be melted down each working day
In the wonderful new melting house
now being completed for service next
year at the royal mint, near the Tow
er of London.
The new melting house will be the
most complete in the world. 1t is
much larger than the existing one,
and is to contain ten furnaces, all
heated by gas. The present melting
house has only four such furnaces.
Gas furnaces alone are nov used at
the royal mint for the melting down
of precious metal, coke furnaces hav-
ing been finally banished in March
last. No less an amount than ESQ.,
100000 worth of gold has been melted
down by gas since the special furnaces
were introduced.
Many experiments were carried out
before gas was accepted as the best
medium for the melting. In copnec-
ton with the tests Mr.. Rigg, the super
intendent of the operative department,
paid number of visits to factories
in London and the country and made
tour in Canada and the United
States with the object of obtaining
evidence as to the value of gas as a
fuel. At length a special type of fur
mace was designed by officials at the
mint, and gas burner made by Mr.. s.
N Brayshow, of Manchester, was
adopted.
Ordinary gas is taken from the
street main for the melting apd mixed
with air from a powerful blowing en-
CINE. 1t is found that by the use of
gas the crucibles for the gold last long
er than they did when coke was en-
ployed, each crucible enduring eight
cen heatings under gas as against
twelve under coke. In addition, the
cost is less, having been reduced from
I'd. to sd. for each hundred weight of
gold melted.-London Mail.
