MRS. WILSON DIES

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife OF
the President of the United
States, died at the White House
at S o'clock Thursday afternoon
Death came after brave strug-
gle for months against Bright S
disease with complications.
The President was completely
unnerved by. the shock and his
grief was heart rending. He bore
up well, however, under the
strain, and devoted himself to
his daughters. The end came
while Mrs. Wilson was rncon-
scious. Her illness took a turn
for the worse shortly after I
o'clock and from then on she
grew gradually weaker.
Without any formality, except
that of the church and with all
the simplicity which she desired,
the funeral of Mrs. Wilson was
held in the East room of the
White House at o'clock Mon
day afternoon. For the day Off
cial business was banished from
the Executive Mansion and
Washington and the nation
mourned for the dead.
Immediately after the services
the body was taken to Rome,
Ga, the burial place of Mrs. Will
sons parents. During the trip
through the South the people paid
respect by tolling church bells as
the special passed. Christ
church, in Alexandria,. Va,
which George Washington at
tended, joined in this tribute.
Outside of members of the
family only members of the cab
met and their wives, the men,
bers of special committees from
the Senate and House, few init
mate friends and the employees
of the White House Were pres
ent at the services.

TWO ELECTIONS FOR
FAYETTE COUNTY

In the Fayette County Court
Mon day County Judge Bullock
rendered decision which allows
two distinct elections on liquor
questions on September 20. He
overruled the petition of "drys"
that vote be taken with entire
county as unit, holding that
statutes covering this point had
been so interpreted that cities of
second class in counties contain
ing cities of second class con hold
separate election.
Both sides seem equally pleas
ed with the decision, the "drys"
claiming it gives them added
strength, while the '"wets" scent
victory. Two ballots will be
given each voter in the city, and
he may vote on city and county
alike, but a county voter may not
vote on city question. 1t is fore
cast that if the "wets" win, the
"drys" will appeal from the de-
cision Of Judge Bullock.

NICE COMPLIMENT

The Kendallville, Ind, Daily
News, in speaking of the resig-
nation of Rev. Mr.. V. P. Yea
man, d. D., of the Presbyterian
church Of that city to accept a
call to Mt. Sterling says editor
tally:
The resignation of DR.. M. V,
P. Yeaman, from the pastorate
of the local Presbyterian church
is a loss that will be felt far be-
yond the boundaries of his own
congregation. Though resi-
dent of the city but short time,
as time comes to be measured by
those who dwell many years in a
place, he had made a distinct
place for himself among Kendall
vile people. Earnest in purpose
and direct in method and yet
gentle in speech and action, he
is especially fitted to be relig-
ious leader in a community of
home loving people. Our loss
will be Mt. Sterling gain.

RETURNS WITH FUGITIVE

Sheriff H. F. Howell has re-
turned from New Richmond, o.,
where he went for one Andrew
Blair, a seventeen-year-old white
boy, charged with stealing $23I
from his uncle, Mr.. Ed. Craycraft,
hard working tenant on the
Hurt farm near Sideview. Blair
had been living with Mr.. Cray
craft and learned of the money
which Mr.. Craycraft and his wife
had concealed in their dwelling
house. When arrested Blair had
new suit of clothes, new
bicycle, and $40 in currency and
a small amount of silver. He re-
fused to return without requisi-
ton papers, thus forcing Mr..
Howell to go to Columbus, O.,
after them. He will doubtless
be sent to the House of Reform
near Lexington.
