Obituary.
GRACE EVELYN BABCOCK.


Grace Evelyn Babcock was born at
Albion, Wis, Dec. IA, 1879. Her edu-
cation was received in the district
school and in Albion academy, from
which school she was graduated in 1899,
being the valedictorian of her class. In
1897 while playing basketball she re-
ceived injuries which led to long
series of illnesses which continued until
her death. During half of her life she
was under the shadow of these aff1lc-
tions, being confined to her bed the
past few years Although an invalid
and often suffering great pain, yet she
never complained. 1t was an inspira-
ton to those who came in contact with
her to see her cheerfulness in the midst
of suffering. She left a number of
poems, the product of her own heart
and brain, expressing her philosophy OF
life.
Everything that love could suggest
or that medical skill could accomplish
was done for her recovery. The home
atmosphere was one especially marked
by love and unselfsh service. The Sc
cret of the home atmosphere as well as
of her own good cheer lay In strong
religious faith.
In early womanhood she was bap-
tized and joined the Albion S. ID. b.
church. Although her life has been
mostly spent in the home, yet its influ-
ence has extended far away, and many
lives have been blessed and helped by
it. She had great faith in God and the
absolute surety that He was building
for her house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens. The night be-
fore she died she was restless, and the
hymn, 'I'm the Child of a King was
sung and brought rest. Size was a
great loyer of nature. Flowers, birds
and trees were her delight. She was
for long time star member OF the
Home Department of the Albion Sab
bath school.
The members of her immediate fam
lily left to cherish her memory are her
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Char
lie Babcock, her sister Lillian and her
brothers, Henry and Fred. She passed
away Nov. 3, 1915, at Albion, Wis. A
large number of friends gathered at
the home Nov. 9Th to pay the tribute
of love. Pastor Sayre offered prayer.
Pastor and Mrs. Sayre furnished beau
tiful and appropriate music. Pastor l..
G. Randolph, friend of many years
standing, preached sermon from
Romans 8:28-.'For we know that all
things work together for good to them
that love God, to them who are called
according to His purpose. The floral
offerings were very beautiful.

THE selection of Ex-Gov. w. D..
Hoard as the most distins uished citi-
zen of Wisconsin by commission NAM
ed by the governor to bear the honors
at the Pacifc-Panama Exposition at
San Francisco will, we believe, be very
generally Endorsed by the people of this
state. That the vote was unanimous
still further adds to the well deserved
compliment. The committee of seven
APPOINTED by Gov. Phillip to make a
recommendation was ably representa-
tive of broadly constructive avocations.
Those on the committee are men of
prominence engaged in the following
fields of activities: Ministry, farming,
law, manufacturing, medicine and sur
gerry, education and railroads. Thus
the judgment unanimously found IS
divorced wholly from political bias
resting purely on the foundation OF
meritful service and attainment. Editor
and publisher of what is known as a
country weekly his fame is more wide
ly recognized than is that of any edi-
tor, metropolitan or otherwise, the
state has produced.

THE south and west and the northern
agricultural states have much to learn
in the way of rural thrift from the New
England rural communities. The con-
slant cry is easier credit for the farm
er, but what the farmer most needs is
more thrift. Some of the southern
states are cursed with crop lien laws
which are holding back the rural COM
munities by allowing man to mort
gage his future work and hopes and
keeps him constantly in debt instead of
allowing him to lay something aside. 1t
is an astonishing fact that Massachu-
sets has five times more savings bank
deposits than have twelve southern
states. In Massachusetts there are
$500, 600 people and 2,5O0,0O0 of them
have saving bank deposits. In three
years the saving banks in connection
with the public schools showed about
1,400, 900 deposits. Every school in the
rural communities ought to have a
course of thrift talks" whereby the
teacher could lay before the scholars
the necessity of saving portion of
whatever they might earn. This money
could be deposited in savings banks,
and later, when it has grown, conld be
used to purchase good, safe bonds pay
ing three and one-half to five per cent
interest. The child mind, as we'll as
the minds of those who are older,
should be impregnated with the fact
that it is not what one earns that
makes competency for old age, but
what one lays aside.

In THE assembly chamber at Madison,
back of the speakers desk, the wall is
adorned with what they call mural
painting, containing allegorical figures
and scenes, and when you ask what 1T
all means and represents you are hand
ed printed description of it to study
out for yourself, for even the guiedes
IN the capitol are unable to divulge its
intricacies. But it cost fifteen thou
sand dollars, and that ought make it
worth looking at. Now twelve thou
sand dollar painting has peen finished
for the senate chamber, mostly allegory
too, representing the marriage of the
Atlantic to the Pacific, also with SYM
bolic figures, one of them being water
nymph disporting herself in the water.
It's all very fine artists say, but speak
ing for the average layman, if the
water nymph were changed to milk
maid, and the background showed a
herd of cattle peacefully grazing in the
pasture, with a creamery or cheese
factory in the distance, the painting
would be more representative of Wis.
consin's chief industry and what has
brought wealth to the Badger state
Fennimore Times.

MISSING MAN
RETURNS HOME

John Herdman, of l48 Bergen street,
a blacksmith employed by John L.
Umbenhauer at Hamburg place, who
was missing since last Saturday at
noon and for whom the police sent
out a general alarm yesterday, re-
turned to his home this afternoon.
Mr.. Herdman declares that Satur-
day afternoon he was to meet his
wife, and after he got through his
work he decided to step into a sa
loon nearby and get drink. He did
so, and according to his story that
was the last he remembers until he
was aroused in an establishment in
New York
The first recollection of anything,
he states, after his entering the sa-
loon. was last night, when he ex-
perienced violent shaking, and,
finally arousing himself, asked what
was wanted Somebody. he said,
kept telling him to get up. He did
so, and learned he was in black
smith shop on Green street. Albany,
n. Y. How he got there, he AYERS,
he hasn't the least idea.
Although he had $12 when he quit
work on Saturday night, he was pen
niless in Albany He had, however,
a return ticket to New York, and
upon satisfying the blacksmith that
he really lived in Newark the latter
gave him enough money to get to
this city after he had left the boat,
using the ticket in his pocket for
steamer passage.

hold him back, but he raced west

he went down. completely upsetting

ARE
HELD BY JUDGE
FOR SW|ND[|NG
Special Officers Are Charged
With Accepting Money to
Settle Mystery.

Two special policemen and an
alleged confederate were held under
ball by Judge -Ungaro in the
Second Precinct Court today on
charges of obtaining money from
Benjamin Carrino. a butcher, OF IT'S
Warren street, under pretense of
solving the mystery Of 3 bomb eX-
plosion which occurred IL The War
rem street house on April II. The
special policemen, AnelIo Lobertiello
and Frank Catino both of 100 War
rem street, were held under $500 bail
EACH and Luigi Santi. of II Golden
street, was held in 81, 800 bail for an
examination next Tuesday.
According to Carrino. Santi came
to him Saturday and offered to clear
up the bomb explosion for 500, repre-
senting himself as private de-
tective. He declared that he knew
the men responsible for the explosion,
Carrino says, and offered TO get evil
dence against them and have them
arrested.
Carrino says that Santi finally
agreed to do the job for $50 and ac-
cepted a check for that sum. Car
rino stopped payment on the check
and notified the police. Lieutenant
Tenore and Detectives Donnelly and
Conlon were assigned to the case.
carrino then gave another check
for $50 to Santi, he says, stating that
the other check was not good because
he had not sufficient funds in the
bank, but that he later placed a de-
posit there. The check was made out
to Lobertiello, the police say. The
detectives arrested the three at the
American National Bank where, ac-
cording to the police. the men pre-
sented the check.
BY order of Chief of Police Long,
the two special policemen were re-
quired to surrender their badges to
Captain Tuite. Charges of abuse Of
their authority will be preferred
against them to the police board
