Robert Knox Chandler

Again Death mas knocked al
the door of one of our homes and
claimed as his own one of our
4 promising young men in the
iperson of Mr.. Robert Knox
Chandler, Oldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. w. Chandler, who died
in Denver, Colorado, late Satur-
day afternoon.
Just as Robert Knox was
blooming in to a promising
young manhood anc it seemed
that the fond hopes of his doting
parents were to be realized in a
useful career for him, the hand
of affection was pressed to his
brow and it was thought best
that he should go to a more con-
genial climate where it was
thought to restore him to health.
But this was not to be. Several
years spent in a high, dry eli
mate brought no relief. Gradu-
ally he declined. in strength and
became more and more emaceat-
ed until when home last he
seemed to be little more than a
shadow of his former self.
Again he went away. Still
dreaming, still hoping to regain
health and vigor. This was not
so to be and he continued to go
down until it was seen last We'd
nesday that the end was near
and his people at home were
notified, when his father hasten
ed to his bedside. All that
could be done was done, but he
was beyond human aid and the
end came peacefully late Satur-
day afternoon.
His remains reached home
Monday and were Inferred in
the 1. 0. 0. F., cemetery the
next afternoon in the presence
a host of friends and relatives.
The funeral was conducted
pm the home by Rev. A. L,

Library Association

Pursuant to a call a number
of citizens met at the court house
some days ago and organized q
Library Association. II. b.. '"ve
was made tosecure the ne3pt Arol
books and periodicals for the
library and to further the best
interest of the institution in
whatever way multitude of
opinions may lead.
Mr.. II. iBi Lacey, the prime
mover in forming the associa-
ton as wsll'as in securing the
library building, was elected
president aud Mr.. G. H. Babbitt
was elected secretary and treas
urer.
Several committees were ap-
pointed and line of work map
ped out. The people at large
may look for a call from mem
bers Of at least two of these
committees, that on member
ship and on the donation of
books.
We trust our citizens will be
liberal in their donations and
help maintain the Association.
If the library is to be made the
power for good which it can be
the people must make it so.
The building alone is but a waste
of money unless it is used for
the purpose for which the dona-
tions were made. Let's get to-
gether and make something
worth while.

TO CALIFORNIA AND BACK
ON INDIAN MOTOR CYCLE
Ten Thousand Miles Will Have
Been Completed Tomorrow by
Washington Boys.

Bud. Baker and Richard OBrien, two
Washington boys, who motored to the
Pacific expositions on an Indian motor
cycle five months ago, are expected to
arrive in the National Capital tomor-
row at noon.
When they arrive in this city tomor-
row they will have covered 10000 miles
and have been away exactly five months
to the hour. The machine is still
equipped with the original set of tires
which were on the machine when they
left Washington. They motored through
twenty states on the westward trip and
twenty-five on the homeward- bound
journey.
Both of the boys are well, according
to information. received by The Star
a few days ago, and have suffered very
few hardships since leaving their
homes. They have lost about ten
pounds each in weight. After visiting
their relatives here they will return to
Springfield, Mass, where they have
been appointed to positions with the
manufacturers Of the Indian machine.
