It was a shock to the friends
and relatives of Mrs. w. R. Anon

them Sunday morning. She died
Saturday evening at II O'Clock at
St. Mary's hospital in Walla Walla
as the result of an operation for
cancer performed Wednesday morn
ing, by DR.. Crosby, assisted by the
hospital physician. No ill effects
of the operation were noted until
Saturday afternoon. as she had
withstood the ordeal remarkably
well and all hopes were entertained
for her recovery. Her son, Alfred,
who has been by her bedside, was
advised Friday evening that there
was no necessity for him remaining
longer as her convelescence was
only matter of days and there was
no further danger. When Mrs.

of the pioneer women of the city ,
passed away at seven O'Clock, Thurs
day morning after many hours of
pain. She has been confined to her
bed for the past five or six weeks
and has been a patient sufferer for
several years, saying little about
her own troubles and doing much
to relieve the woes of those around
her. Her husband, seven children,
and one sister, Mrs. Orella Nelson,
a resident of Payette, Idaho, mourn
her loss and were with her during
her last hours.
The funeral will be held this af-
ternoon at 2 O'Clock.
As a woman, wife, and mother,
Mrs. Peckenpaugh was all that is
beautiful in accordance with the
standards of Christian living. No
thing but tender memories are cher
ished by her family and friends
and her life of labor and loving
kindness is not to be forgotten by
those who have known her best,
but will ever prove an inspiration
and example. She was a member
of the Christian church and of the
Relief Corps.
Mrs. S. D. Peckenpaugh was born
in Harlan, Shelby County, Iowa,
Aug. 2Sth, 1858. She lived in the
vicinity Of that place until 1886
and while there became the wife of
S. D. Peckenpaugh. Of this union
eight children were born and OF
these, seven are now living, three
daughters, Mrs. Bertha Hawker of
Pasco, Mrs. Ethel Duffy of Midway,
B. c., Mrs. Bessie Penn of this
city, and four sons, Llyod, Elijah,
Irving, and William Peckenpaugh,
all of Kennewick.

children by this marriage were four
in lumber, Alfred c.. Anon, Will
liam H. Anon, Mrs. Ruth Williams
and Mrs. Annie Mueller, all resi-
dents OF Kennewick. Five step
children make up the family circle
and Mrs. Anon knew them all as
her own and lavished all the care
on them that is the product of
mother love. When the Amons
came west, they located in Oregon
and later were identified with farm
ing interests in Lincoln County.
After eight years spent in Waits
burg they came to Kennewick to
establish their beautiful home on
West Second street.
When a child, Mrs. Anon united
with the Methodist church and her
life has been beautiful example
| of what the Christian life ought to
be. She lived her religion, enjoyed
it, and in the light of its teaching,
made others lives vastly brighter
because of her presence on earth.
She hath done what she could"
is tribute which fits her we'll and
her children's love for her bears
witness of the sacredness of her
memory.

NO MORE PRIVATE CARS
ON NILLINOIS CENTRAL
Continuation of Democratic
Policy.
FROM CHICAGO EXAMINER.

Chicago, May 14.-The Illinois Cen
tra Railroad System, pursuing its policy
of democracy, is changing the inscript-
ion "Priyate," which has heretofore ap-
peared on the doors of cars used by
officials of the Illinois Central in travel
ing over the road, to "Office Car"
President Markham says that the
word "Private" is misnomer so tar as
it indicates the purpose for which the
cars on his line are employed. He
says: 1.-The cars on the Illinois Central
used by the officials are not in the
slightest sense the sanctuary which the
word Private implies. They are office
Cars pure and simple, and used for the
same purpose as the Offices in the gener-
al headquarters at Chicago-to transact
business with the public and our en-
poyes. The cars IN question are in
reality offices set on wheels, where the
business of the Company in it's internal
relations, as we'll as with the public,
is conducted in practically as great a
volume and with as much regularity as
in the home offices of the respective
officials who are assigned the cars. On
this account. the words 'Office Car will
convey the true purpose tor which the
cars are constructed, and not set up in
the mind of anyone the impression that
the cars are used exclusively for the
occupying same.
1--WE thus hope to Danish any feeling of
timidity which may exist in the mind of
an individual having business with our
officials upon entering these cars.
In travelling, officers will carry
stenographers and clerks, maps and re-
cords for general business purposes.

Rat Affected by Liquor.

Capt. II. n. Shearer was tell
ing US a few days ago about a
rat that got taste OF liquor.
and how much "nerve" it gave
the little animal. A cat was
watching a hole for rat. In
pouring out some whiskey for a
neighbor who had been ''snake
bit," the gentleman dropped the
bottle and the contents spilled
upon the floor. The sound Of
the breaking glass scared the
cat away. Presently the rat
came out of the hole and licked
up some of the whiskey. Then

around and said: Wonder where
