D. D. CONWAY
WINS CASE

A decision has been received from
Judge Reid in the case of Conway
versus George. The court holds in
favor of Mr. Conway, and decides
that the note and mortgage are not
tainted with usury, and that George
could not recover.
The court directs that a judgment
for foreclosure be entered for the
$500, with interest, tax accumula-
ton, cost, disbursements and solici-
tors fees. This is complete and
absolute vindication of Mr.. Conway
of the charge of usury, which charge
was the defense of Mr.. George to
the foreclosure action.

FOR WAUPACR

Waupaca, Wis, Aug. 31-G. Me
mecke of Milwaukee, was in the
city during Home Coming and found
every one so busy that he could
not talk with many on the object OF
his visit. He left a map showing
the proposed route of the Milwaukee
Western Electric Railway, which viii
be built from Milwaukee through Ju-
neau, Beaver Dam, Fox Lake, Marke-
san, to Green Lake.
From that point the company pro-
poses to build north and west to
Stevens Point and Merrill. The rich
farm country northeast of Berlin,
through Poysippi, seems to be one
of the most feasible routes in which
case Waupaca might easily be con-
nected by this electric road with
Milwaukee. This is a matter that
our business mems association might
look into with profit.

GONE To HER
ETERNAL REWARD
BE Still Prepared for Death---
and Death, or Life, Shall
be the SWeeter."

In the passing of Miss Cora Pratt
faithful Christian life is ended in
this world and she was well pre-
pared for the next. She has simply
gone on before Her going was a
sudden shock to her relatives, her
immediate friends and the eommun-
ity in which she lived. An ideal
Christian character and Iovable wo-
man has gone to her reward.
Lately she has been poorly with
nervous prostration, but no one con-
sidered her condition serious or
dangerous. Her intimate friend,
Miss Lucy Woodwork, of Pittsville,
has been with her the past week,
and nearly every day they have
been out riding together. It was
thought that Miss Pratt was gain
ing until a day or two before she
died Monday morning, September
lst, Labor Day, she was taken worse
and died at 1:15 a. m, from the eff
fects of a hemorrhage of the brain
it came on so suddenly that her
father, who was with her, hardly
realized its presence. She passed
away APPARENTLY in deep sleep. Her
loss to her father is great and he
realizes that his daughter, house
keeper, homemaker and constant
companion, has gone from him for
ever. He has the heartfelt sym
pathy of all his friends in this hour
of his bereavement. We append the
following verses for his comfort:
Plan not, nor scheme, but calmly
wait;
His choice is best,
While blind and erring is thy
sight;
His wisdom sees and judges
right;
So trust and rest.
Strive not, nor struggle; thy poor
might
Can never wrest
The meanest thing to serve thy
will;
All power is His alone; be still,
And trust and wait
What dost thou fear? His wis
dom reigns
Supreme, confessed;
His power is infinite; His love
Thy deepest. fondest dreams
above;
So trust and rest.
-MacDuff.
