John William Craig.

John William, youngest child of
w. F. and Nettie E. Craig, born Feb.
IA, 1913, fell asleep Feb. 10, 1914,
at 1905 p. M, after an illness of
nine days from lung fever.
All that loving hands could do was
done, but the Divine Father saw the
need of one more bud of promise
to the tree of life, therefore little
John was called, and closer and clos
er did the petals fold, until the little
heart and mind slept.
The happy little smile that always
frightened up his angelic little coun-
tenance, will be missed by father,
mother, four brothers and two Sis
ters, many friends and loved ones.
But they mourn not as those without
hope.
Funeral services were held at the
Providence church on the afternoon
of Feb. 70, 1914 The sermon was
preached by Elder NJ. M. Turpen of
Centerville, Iowa. The scriptural
reading was from Matt. 1S:1-12. The
text was taken from l Thes. 4:l3-18.
The body was laid to rest in the
Hamilton cemetery. there to await
the call of those who die in Jesus,
they shall not taste of death for it
shall be sweet unto them.

Iowa, Feb. II, 1914, aged 80 years,
Is months and % days.
She was united in marriage to
Harrison B. Bowman twenty-five
years ago, and to this union were
born four children, who were all at
home at the time of her death. Six
weeks ago Mrs. Bowman went to
Missouri to attend the funeral of
her mother, and upon, her return
home was taken sick with pneu-
monia and gradually grew worse de-
spite all that could be done, until
the peaceful end She leaves her
husband and four children, besides
an aged father, two brothers and two
sisters to mourn her departure. Eight
years ago she was converted and
united with the Baptist church, and
had since lived consistent chris
tian life, and passed on in the hope
of a glorious resurrection.
Funeral services were held at the
home on Friday afternoon, conduct
ed by Rev. Chas. w. Reeder, and her
remains were followed to the Leon
cemetery by number of relatives
and friends, where she was laid to
rest. The sympathy of the entire

He attended the Leon High School
and the veterinary college at Chicago

study there.
He was strong believer in
Christian science and firm in that

last His memory was unimpaired
through the illness and he often
spoke to his friends in most cheerful
manner. Before his illness he took
great delight in out of door sports,
his enthusiasm doubtless leading him
beyond his strength. In such circles
he built up a wide circle of friend
ship among the young men of his
age
He leaves father and mother and
one brother Walter, who resides near
Cheyenne, Wyoming, and a number
of other relatives as we'll as large
circle of friends to mourn his early

his home last Christmas, resigned
but cheerful.
The funeral was held Feb. !rh,

Drillers Find Coal at Princeton.

When the drill was pulled up from
the bottom of the first prospect hole
on the Kesterson farm, south o.
town, Monday, it brought out core
showing fifty-four inches of coal
This was found at depth of 484
feet and the quality is the same as
that mined at GAINESVILLE. This coal
however. is in two veins. One is "a
inches thick and the other 80 inches
Between the two is a layer of q
inches of shale.
The showing of the first prospect
hole is about all that was expected
by Mr.. Fred Morck, who is prospect.
ing here in the interest of eastern
capitalists with a view of opening 9
mine. The parting in the coal veins
is a little larger than that found In
the Ballew prospect hole in that
vicinity.
Mr.. Morck takes an optimistic view
of the matter, and continues the
work in good spirit. This is one OF
the freaks of nature he said. This
is the biggest parting we will find in
the coal and the former prospecting
indicated that it would be. Other
holes will show up much better
Not much more coal is expected in
other prospect holes, but the parting
in the veins will be less. Former
prospecting indicates that the center
of the big coal bed is on line near
the house of Isaac Mason, and is gets
thinner going north and south.
The drill was moved from the
Kesterson farm Tuesday to the Yer
non Boxley place, and Mr.. Brennan
began drilling the third hole there
this morning. The second hole on
the James Mason farm is now down
about $50 feet. Mr.. Brennan expects
an expert driller here from Chicago
this week to assist him.
While the prospectors have leases
on some 1000 acres of land, Mr.
Morck believes that if good weir
is found under half of that it will be
sufficient for profitable mining. He
thinks the field here should be sui
ficient for some SO to IS years min
ing.
on the kesterson farm indicates that
there will be very little difference in
the records of the present prospect
ing and that done by Mr.. Ballew a
few years ago. And this will be suf-
ficient, it is believed to get mine
The object of the present work is to
more thoroughly locate the veins as
to their thickness and to the least
parting.
Former prospecting showed on the
Mullinnax farm AZ inches of coal at
a depth of 460 feet with inch
parting; at the lime kiln, 43 inches
of coal at 461 feet, with IS inches OF
parting; at Isaac Mason's farm, SIS
inches of coal at 473 feet, with Is
inches parting; at the rock quarry
Hyde's sugar camp, ga inches of coal
at 46S feet, with 20 inches parting;
on the Cockrell farm, Ga inches OF
coal at 434, with 80 inches parting

SHOT FIRER NEAR DEATH.
Overcome by After-Dnmp Caused by
Windy Shot.

J. w. Massey, jr., a shot firer at
the mine had narrow escape from
death by after-damp caused by a
windy shot while at work Thursday
afternoon of last week. Had it not
been for the forethought and care
fulness of his fellow shot firer, Ear
nest Still, Mr.. Massey would never
have gotten out alive.
Two shot firers go down each af-
ternoon about 4:3O to fire the shots
in the rooms, and are the only men
in the mine at the time. A windy
shot is one which does not take eff
feet against the coal but comes back
out of the hole made by the drill
much the same as in firing a gun.
Mr.. Still relates the circumstances
about as follows:
The two men had fired about five
shots apiece and were then about a
quarter of a mile apart. About this
time Mr.. Still felt rush of air and
knew that Mr.. Massey had a windy
shot. He sat down and waited to
see what had become of it, or rather
what it would amount to, and hav-
ing waited some little time and not
hearing any more shots from Mr..
Massey's territory, knew that he was
in trouble but how serious he did not
know At the time Mr.. Still was in
an entry under the Wilson land
about a quarter of mile from the
shaft while Mr.. Massey was straight
west and perhaps a little farther
away from the shaft than was Mr..
Still. The latter made his way to
the bottom of the shaft as quickly as
possible and telephoned up that
start the fan as soon as possible. This
was done and Messrs. Garrett, Green
and Alldredge went down to assist
in the search for and rescue of Mr..
Massey.
The men struggled hard against
the damps and sometimes it seemed
as though they must fail, but at
length Mr.. Green found the uncon-
scious man lying by string of cars
which were standing on the track in
the entry running west and some
distance from the last room which
Mr.. Massey had fired.
He was brought out to the top
and taken to his home in the north
part of town about o'clock and re-
manned unconscious for some time
after arriving home. Drs. Doolittle
and Nally attended him, and though
his lungs hurt him severely for a
few days, he has so far improved as
to be up and around, and will soon
be as we'll as ever.
In relating his experience, Mr..
Massey said that it was simply aw-
full. The heat from the windy shot,
which was terrific, was before and
the shot in the room behind him
would soon explode, thus placing
him between two fires. The last
thing he remembers was pouring the
water from his canteen into his nit
ten to hold over his face and crawl
ing through heat trying to make the
main entry and get into some fresh
air.
1t was a narrow escape, indeed, as
perhaps another half hour would
have brought the end-Cainsville

Four Billions in Pensions.

From 1890 up to now Uncle Sam
has paid $4,557,539,S246S to the ma
tons war veterans, and is now car
rying 86O,294 persons on the roll.
The year ending June 80 took 81,
459 pensions from the rolls, muster
ed out by the cell of death.
These and other interesting figures
appear in the report of the pension
commissioner, just made public. For
instance it is shown that there are
now 462,379 survivors of the Civil
War on the pension rolls, against
497,263 year ago-and just for
comparison, Commissioner Saltza-
barger cites the fact that the total in
the American army and navy in the
Civil War was 2,213,365.
At present there are no pensioners
on the rolls from the Revolutionary
war. The last widow pensioner of
that war was Mrs. Esther E. Damon,
of Plymouth Union. VT, who died on
Nov. II, 1906, SO years old. The
last survivor of the Revolution, was
Daniel F. Brakeman, who died at
Freedom, N. Y, April 5, 1869, 100
years old. The last surviving pen
stoned soldier of the war of 1912
was Hiram Cronk, of Ava, N. Y, who
died May 10, 1906, 105 years old.
The names of 100 widows of the war
1912 were still on the pension rolls
June 10, 1918.
Ohio leads the states in having the
largest number of pensioners. The
total in the Buckeye state is 1859.
Pennsylvania is next with 1858,
and New York is third with 68,27O.
Even in Canada there are 2,S79
Americans drawing pensions from
the United States.
The commissioners figures show
that there are 252,944 women on
Uncle Sans pension rolls. of these
1892 are widows of the Mexican war
veterans. There are 279 nurses who
receive monthly checks from the
treasury for their work in the Civil
and Spanish-American wars. The av-
erage yearly pension paid is $171.
