John Spencer.

The good two year old trotter, John
Spencer, sired by Early Riser, owned by
Jeuck Bros, Mineral Point, and trained
and driven by J. D. Raisbeck, reached
home last Friday. John Spencer won
the two-ye old race at Mineral Point
and lowered the track record for two
year olds from l IA to 1:134. At OAR
lington he won again, lowering the re-
cord for two year olds to Ill. At
Platteville he made Bing Tara trot two
heats in 1:O8 and was separately timed
on the outside of the track in l:0S4; the
last quarter at 2:lS clip. This stamps
John Spencer as the fastest colt ever
raised in Wisconsin. John will winter
at Mineral Point and will undoubtedly
be handled the coming season by Mr..
Raisbeck, who thinks the next season
John will be second to none.-Darling-
ton Republican Journal.

save the union, but his brother James
was younger, scarcely eighteen and
William could fill a larger place than
he at home and so he yielded his wishes
for the good of father, mother and the
family, and James went. Great indeed
was the type Of that manhood which
could sink itself into the depths OF self
denial and disappointment and amidst
it all courageously pursue the plans Of
life, which changed the bent of his own
ircIinations.
Deceased was a Christian man. He
was long a Sunday School teacher and
a class leader. His christian life was
not one that consisted largely in open
declarations. He was somewhat reti-
cient or backward in such expressions
but his life was an epistIe read and
known by all.
There remains of the immediate
family, the five brothers-James
Richard, Joseph, Martin and Frank,
and one sister-Mrs. Dunstan. These
will all revere the memory Of their old
est brother, whose life meant so much
to every one Of them.
The funeral took place on Thursday
afternoon and was conducted by his
pastor, Rev. W. j. G. Bond, assisted by
Rev. John Hardcastle of Platteville.

AvlAT0RS WILL HUNT
IN SEARCH FOR SEALS

Overcome Winter Difficulties.

New York.-No ice pack hereafter
will prevent successful seasons eaten
of seals Aeroplanes have been en-
gagged by the sealing companies of the
northern states and Canada. with ex-
pert aviators to help locate the herds.
The preparation for the coming sea-
son have been thrust upon sealers by
the disastrous ice conditions along the
eastern coast and the gulf of st. Law
renee All last winter constant inShore
winds piled hummocks of ice wherever
the water Swallowed.
These high walls of broken ice pre-
vented the lookouts on the sealing
steamers and sailing vessels from To-
eating the seal herds. AS result the
catch was one Of the smallest on rec
ord, the total being less than 10000
pelts This has meant a financial loss
to the sealing companies of not less
than $25O,O00.
Cruising along the shores, the aero

the navigable channels through the ice.
AS these leads change from hour to
hour, the need for the aviator is con-
stant. This will prevent fruitless
months of search on the part of the
sailing vessels.
Moreover. the aeroplanes will be able
to report adverse ice conditions at
distance, so that vessels will be able to
make their way to a point OF safety
before the heralded ice pack comes
down to crush them. This alone will
mean the saving of many vessels. an
nually caught by the treacherous foe.
Owing to the restriction on the kill
ing of fur seals. which are extinct ex-
cept in the Bering sea, the pelt OF the
true seal is in great demand. The
greater ease in locating the herds will
give the sealing companies the oppor-
tunity to select the bigger and more
mature animals.

Special Corn Crop Report.

Owing to the generally backward
state of this years corn crop, in many
of the northern but important growing
sections of the belt there is danger OF
injury to the crop by killing frost, the
occurrence of which may be expected
at any time. 1t is therefore important
that every effort possible be made to
secure good seed for next years crop.
Where any of last years corn is left, it
should be gone over and the best ears
saved for seed. Moreover, as corn ma
lures unevenly, it is possible to secure
seed from the early ears before the rest
of the crop is matured.

William Hoare.

William Hoare was born near Truro,
the metropolis of the county of Corn
wall, England, Nov. 80, 1886, and en-
tered the more perfect state of existence
about three o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
Sept. Ia, 1915. being therefore rs years,
8 months and Is days of age.
When about years of age he came
with his parents to Mineral Point, the
last stage of the long, wearisome
Journey of over 1000 miles being COM
pleted in a wagon drawn by oxen. He
has remained in this vicinity during
the more than 20 years that have
elapsed since then and at the time of
passing was among the very few OF
those pioneers who still fingered,
weary, perhaps, with the limitations
imposed upon them by multiplied years
and looking forward to their approach
ing change.
Mr.. Hoare was best known in the
two circles which so largely contained
his life, the home and the church. AS
the oldest son of large family he exhib-
tied disposition which has been better
understood and more fully recognized
with the passing of the years. He was
converted when but youth and was a
deligent student of the word of God.
In early life he earnestly desired to be-
come min lister of the Gospel. Two
calls were echoing through his heart
that of the home, and which at that
particular time could i'll afford to give
him up, and the call of the church.
But with the spirit of self sacrifice he
yielded to the visible demands of the
home and remained with his parents
and the family to be pillar of
strength to them at period of life
when his presence and aid were in
valuable.
There came again a call to him to
which he would gladly have responded
It was the call of his country to help

some of the members could not attend.
A delightful evening was spent by all.

Doctor Says Operation Didn't Cure
Youth Who Set Refuge Afire.
New York.-Henry Samara, sixteen
years old, of 2O6O Washington avenue,
the Bronx, who tried to set fire to the
house of refuge out Of sheer vicious
ness last April. was sentenced to the
Elmira reformatory by Judge Malone
in general sessions. The judge acted
upon a report submitted by DR.. Greg
ory, chief Of the psychopathic ward
in Bellevue hospital, who informed the
court that the boy was not of unsound
mind, but SO thoroughly bad that he
would be source of danger to the COM
munity
While the boy was under observation
in the psychopathic ward he was op-
Grated upon for a depressed fracture
Of the skull. which was thought at
first to be responsible for his mental
alterations and lack of moral sense.
However, Dr., Gregory states that he
does not believe the fracture had any
thing to do with the patients vicious
ness.
Samara was sent to the house Of
refuge in July, 1914, for attempting to
kill his stepfather and for trying to
set fire to a building in the neighbor-
hood of his home.
On April last, while he was en-
ployed in the laundry of the house of
refuge, he piled a bundle of papers
under the stairs and threw a lighted
match among them. The fire was eX-
tinguished, and the boy later pleaded
guilty to arson. He was sent to Belle
vue hospital for observation.

FIFTIETH
ENTERED INTO REST
Mrs. Susannah Little

Mrs. Susannah Little
was born June 7, 1888, in "Crag Hall, :"
of the family home at Swaledale,
Yorkshire, England, in which had lived
four generations Of the family. Her
maiden name was Fawcett. In 1914,
when but eleven years of age she ac-
companied her parents to America
their objection point being New Dig
gings, in Lafayette county At that
early period travel knew nothing Of the
luxury Of these later times. The jour-
ney from Chicago to New Diggings was
made by wagon. In due time the
wearisome journey was ended and the
family became residents Of that well
known mining camp, in which many
strong attachments were formed that
have remained unbroken through more
than 70 years since the family first took
up it's abode therein.
In 1851 she was united IN matr1mOny
to Francis Little, native OF Roslea,
Fermanagh county. Ireland, who was
now a resident Of this same Wisconsin
village. The home founded by this
marriage was, indeed, ideal in all its
appointments and the center Of the
richest influences for righteousness.
Three years afterward, in 1854, they
removed from New Diggings to Dia-
mond Grove, where for thirty six years
they resided and where the members Of
their family were born. At the end Of
that period the husband and father was
removed by death. Since then the wild
ow and her faithful children success
fully carried on the diversified interests
that were connected with the estate.
Six years ago Mrs. Little and her
daughters, Susannah and Ella, removed
from the farm to this city.
From the days of her childhood de-
deceased has been connected with the
Christian church, being united with the
Primitive MethOdists at New Diggings.
She later was member Of the Diamond
Grove society. Her membership was
later transferred to the church in this
city. The last three Or four years of her
life found her with weakening infirmi-
ties but so long as strength would per
nit her to do so she wended her way to
the House of God. She was member
of the Alpha Society and entered into
it's occasional gatherings when she was
able.
For several weeks she had been un-
able to leave her home and for some
time was confined to her bed. Day and
night found her children constant in
their ministries. The end came at about
two o'clock on Monday morning, Sept.
l3, and her soul passed out of the earth
~ tent in which it had found shelter
for over 80 years and passed on to the
glorious life with God.
Five children with Christian resigna-
ton mourn the passing of their mother,
viz: Mrs. Maggie Clark of Presumption,
ILL.,, Mrs. Mary Bleakley of Long
Beach, Cal, William of Diamond Grove
and the Misses Susie and Ella of this
city. Three grandchildren, Miss Clark
and the two children of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Little, complete the immediate
members of the surviving family.
The funeral occurred at 2 p. m. on
Friday, and was conducted by her
pastor Rev. w. j. G.. Bond. A large
concourse of neighbors and friends at
tended to show their respect to the
family whose mother was held in the
highest esteem.
