services of DR.. G. s Putnam of Far
go, N. D., to take charge of the
South Dakota State band of Aberdeen,
beginning On January 1. The salary of

statewide reputation as a band leader,

of men suggested by the factionalists
on either side to secure a competent
leader, and it is expected DR.. Putnam

Audubon societies, at its headquarters,

of the splendid federal bird protective

strengthening of state laws do not

was more needed than at present.

Judge sch.r.r Backs up

Last Saturday Probate Judge c. E.
Scherer decided that he would not
throw lot of good money into the
hopper for a chance TO win the office
of probate judge by recount of the
ballots.s He found it was going to
cost considerably more than he first
estimates to make the count and
there were no definate grounds for
believing that he could win by q re-
count and as the Office has low sal
ary anyway he threw up the job. To
our way of thinging there is mighty
little to this public Office bus
iness and much less to contest for
such job. City Republican.

1000, 900 Sacks of Flour

The Hays City Milling & Elevator
company during the season of 1912,
manufactured one million sacks of
flour. The flour when packed in As
pound sacks, and laid in a row, would
make a string 500 miles long, and
would nearly extend from Hays to
Chicago. When the flour is loaded
into cars for shipment it will take
1850 cars, or train ten miles long.
1t took /, ,125, 900 bushels of wheat to
make this amount of -four. This
wheat was all raised in Ellis county
as no wheat was shipped in for mill
ing purposes, consequently the quail
ity of flour could not be surpassed by

cattle are coming freely this week,
and the supply of fed native steers is

ANSWERED THE
LAST ROLL CALL
Henry Cutler, a Pioneer
Settler of Ogallah
Township, Dies
at Ellis

The many friends and neighbors of
Henry Cutler were greatly surprised
when the news was passed over the
wires Sunday morning announcing
his death. On Christmas day he ate
dinner with his son, AIva Cutler, and
remarked to his companion while
there how well he was feeling, but
that night he was taken sick, and al
most from the start there were no
hopes of his recovery.
Mr.. Cutler was one of the pioneers
of this vicinity, having spent thirty
three years of his life here. He had
quite a wide acquaintance, and was
loved and respected by those who
knew him. He and his companion
had recently moved from the farm
in Trege county to Ellis, occupying
property which they had purchased,
and where they anticipated spending
many pleasant days. But today he is
not with us. He has gone on while
his loved ones and friends linger be-
hind. No more his voice will be
heard. No more will his hand be
reached out to grasp the hand of his
friends and loved ones; but we can
say with the poet:
Servant of God well done
The glorious warfa<e's past,
The battles fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowed at last
Henry Cutler was born in Pickaway
county, Ohio, October 27, 1884, and
died at his home in Ellis, Kansas,
December 20, 1912, at the age of 78
years, months and days. He was
united in marriage to Jane Coffey in
1856, in Douglass county, III. To this
union nine children were born, six of
whom are still living.
He came to Kansas in 1879, settling
in Trego county. One year later his
wife died. On March %, 1882, he
was again united in marriage to Mrs. |
Mar tina A. Roberts. To this union
one child was born. His children are
all living in This community except
one daughter, Mrs. w. NJ. Goff, who |
resides in Tuscola, III and John A. |
Cutler of Kit Carson, Colo.
Mr.. Cutler was converted in early |
life, and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church. At the time of |
his death he was member of the
Methodist class at Ridgway on the |
Ellis circuit.
He was a veteran of the Civil war,
having entered the service in 1862
and served until he was discharged /
in 1865.
He leaves a devoted companion,
seven children, nineteen grandchild-
rem and six great grandchildren to
mourn his departure.
The funeral services were conduct
from the residence by the writer.
The music was furnished by Miss
Hussey, Mrs. Martin, Mr.. Gugler and
Mr. Lyle Ramsey; Miss Anna Shields
at the organ The body
was inferred in the family lot in the
Ogailah cemetery.
