Died From Effects Of Measles

The subject of this sketch,
Florence V. Coleman, daughter of
Harrison and Catharine Miller,
was born November 16, 1865, in
Virginia, and died at her home in
Laclede March 10, 1914, at the age
of SO years, 4 months and 20 days.
In early childhood she moved
with her parents to Ohio, and
from there to Illinois and thence
to Iowa where she was united in
marriage to Mills Coleman, Feb
ruary ID, 1882. at Fort Madison.
In 1892 they bought and moved
onto a fine farm in the South Eagle
neighborhood six miles southeast
of Laclede and resided there until
1903 when they moved to Laclede
where they have since made their
home.
Some nineteen years ago Mrs.
Coleman united with the South
Eagle United Brethren church.
The love and peace that governed
her life only spoke of the con-
sistency with which she served her
Savior.
Two weeks ago she was strickened
with the measles which brought on
a complication of diseases that
resulted in her death.
The funeral was held at the
home Tuesday at 2 p. m. con-
Quoted by her pastor, Rev. Hudson.
The remains were laid to rest in
the Laclede cemetery. She leaves
to mourn their loss a devoted
husband, mother, brother and
many friends.
She was loved by all who knew
her and her departure brings much
sadness to their hearts.

Wanted at Milan

Sheriff Head Of Linn county and
the sheriff from Sullivan county
were in Laclede last Sunday hunt
ing for a couple of fellows by the
name of Glidwell who are wanted
in Sullivan county on various
charges. They located one of the
men at home of his brother-in law,
Jack Hudnell, in the west part of
town, and with Constable Ben
Thompson started out to make the
arrest. When within block of
the house Glidwell darted out the
door and down the street with the
speed of a deer. When command
ed to halt he only increased his
speed and Sheriff Head drew his
gun and took a shot at him but as
he was more than hundred yards
away missed, and the fleeing man
lodged through the hedge and
escaped across a field. The officers
went to Linneus on the afternoon
train but retured to Laclede that
night and made another search but
failed to locate either of the men
wanted. The Glidwells are charged
with bootlegging, gambling and
fighting at Milan.

When we see the locust petals fall
ing softly on the grass, or giant elms
casting their shadows across the lawn,
or birch boughs waving over the grav-
ell walks, we like to say to ourselves
something about the wonderful beauty
of the world that God has made for us
and the means that have been estab-
lished on every hand to satisfy our
esthetic sense. Yet 1t would be an
interesting inquiry to undertake an
examination of the truth as to how
much the world has been adapted to
man and how much, on the contrary,
man has been adapted to the world,
says Indianapolis Star. There were
long ages, obviously, when coal was
no more to the human race than myri-
ads Of other rocks of which the globe
consists; and at any time that new
discoveries or inventions should rele-
gate coal to the limbo of useless things,
1t would cease to be either marvel
or blessing. The eye instinctively
recognizes green as an agreeable col
or; but the beneficence Of the land
Bcape's shade must be viewed in light
of the fact that it Is upon green that
human eyes for countless ages have
uniformly dwelt, and the still more
significant probability that the eye it.

Considerable numbers of Americans
are beginning to like udo, and it has
been served successfully at large din
ner parties in Washington, SO it is
stated in recent bulletin of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
Udo is vegetable which has long
been esteemed in Japan and China,
and an attempt is now in progress
to introduce 1t into general use in the
United States. The author of the bull
letin, David Fairchild. agricultural ex-
plorer in charge of the Office Of For
eign Seed and Plant Intro6nction, ex-
plains that ten years ago the sugges-
ton was first made that udo be grown
by Americans, but 1t is only recently
that the oriental visitor has begun to
get any vogue. 1t has been grown by
Mr.. Fairchild in Maryland and by pri-
vate individuals in various parts Of the
country, but 1t has not yet become a
commercial factor. But Mr.. Fairchild
says that 1t haD now arrived at point
where 1t might be pushed by any
careful, enterprising advertiser of
fancy vegetables"

Stovaine was used In two operations
performed at Harper hospital by Prof.
w. Wayne Babcock of Philadelphia.
Injections were made into the spinal
canal and during lengthy and difficult
abdominal sections the subjects on the
operating table remained fully con-
scious, yet suffered no pain from the
surgeons knife. The first patient, a
boy Of nine, was the victim Of a large
malignant growth In the abdomen, the
result Of an injury received when he
was kicked by horse. Toward the
close of the operation sensation re-
turned sufficiently 30 that he began to
cry out. A slight quantity of ether
was used to tide him over the pain
of sewing up the wound.

Mauso|eum Entombment.

One of the wholesome develop
ments of modern times is the
growing POPU RITY of
MAUSOLEUM ENTOMBME ENT.
The change in feeling in regard to
earth burial is most marked. Not
only has MAUSOLEUM EN-
TOMBMENT come to be regarded
as more DESIRABLE from a
SANITARY and SCIENTIFIC
point of view, but people who
have always felt ground burial to
be in keeping with the Divine de-
cree, "dust thou art and unto
dust shalt thou return" now feel
that it applies more logically to
MAUSOLEUM ENTOMBMENT
than it does to earth burial.
The SPLENDID MAUSOLEUM
which has been erected in Fort
Meigs Cemetery, Perrysburg, is
already the final resting place of
some one or more members of the
PROMINENT FAMILIES of
Perrysburg.
A large number of Crypts have
been taken by Professional and
Business Men among whom we
may mention the Drs. Rheinfrank,
who have placed their stamp of
approval upon the Mausoleum
method of entombment by pur-
chasing the two family sections of
IL Crypts. There are few choice
Crypts yet to be taken, why are
you not one of them?
Some have secured Crypts as a
temporary resting place of the
bodies of their loved ones, and
after brief interval of time de-
cided that NO BETTER method
could be provided, and so have
left what they now regard as the
BETTER WAY"
The Mausoleum is open on pleas
ant Sundays from 2 to 5, and visi-
tors are cordially welcomed.
