HERBERT HBRDING
PASSES AWAY
a WelI-known and Much Loved
Citizen Of 0reendale Leaves
AT THE AGE OF 81 YEARS
a Death That Caused Universal
Sorrow Where He Was
Known

Herbert Herding is dead!"
When word to this effect was
passed from mouth to mouth
through the community last Fri
day evening, there was genuine
sorrow in every heart. Everyone
felt that death had added to its
victims one Of natures noble
men; a man respected and esteem
ed by every one with whom he
came in contact. And there were
few dry eyes when the Borrowing
wife and fatherless children were
thought Of.
Mr.. Herding died Friday even
ing, February Goth at 9:15 p. NJ,
surrounded by his wife and child
rem. He was born at Allenberg,
West Valen, Germany, Nov. 3rd,
1853 and at the time of his death
his age was 81 years, 3 months
and % days.
In 1880, accompanied by his
wife, he arrived in this country
and for two years resided on a
farm near Breckenridge; at the
end of that time he purchased a
farm in Greendale Twp, which
has been his home for the past
81 years. A year ago his health
began to fail and though every
thing possible was done to re-
@ieve him, it gradually declined
and he had not had the use of his
legs since September, but moved
around in a wheeled chair.
During this time everything
that his loving friends and fam
lily could do was done to ease him
for themselves through their in
dustry and frugality.
Deceased is survived by wife
and 8 children, Anton, Herbert,
Anne, Helen, John, Theresa, Ber-
nard of Hankinson, and Mrs. N. j.
Wagner of White Rock, S. d.
beautiful floral offerings in
tribute of the dead were received
and they were fully repaid by his
patience and cheerfulness of
spirit. No word of complaint ever
issued from his lips and his face
always wore the same smile no
matter how much pain he was
enduring.
He was successful farmer and
the possessor of a fine place
which he and his family had built

State Ticket Placed In
Field For

A state ticket for the spring cleo
ton was nominated by the ProhibA
ton party's state convention. In tho
Y. NJ. G. A. auditorium. Friday after
noon, as follows:
For justices of the supreme court:
Thomas A. Mead, OF Detroit. and Har-
yey B. Hatch. Of Marquette.

Education: c. A. Salyer. OF Hillsdale.
For members Of the state Board OF
Agriculture: William 8. Lathers. OF
Inkster. and Jefferson ID. Leland. of
Corunna.
There was considerable difiiculty
in finding candidates for justice OF
the supreme court. Winent II. ID.
Fox was pressed to run. but was OBJ
durate In his refusal, declaring that
he had been a candidate too many
times and that It was someone else's
turn. Samuel Dickie, president Of
Albion college, was mentioned for
regent Of the university, but there
were doubts as to whether he would
accept. and the convention decided
to remain on the safe side.
A long debate was caused by the
introduction of a minority report by
the platform committee. In an en-
deavor to make the platform little
more caustic. The two paragraphs of
the report were thrown out, after
Chairman Fred w. Corbett had mao
a fiery speech against them. An at
tempt to amend the majority report.

Taken By
Death

PETROGRAD. March 1s.--Count
sergius witte, former Russian pre-
mier, and u dominant figure in IN,
ternational politics, is dead. II was
ofiicially announced today.
Count White owed his chief claim
to fame to what was generally con-
sidered his diplomatic triumph over
Japan In the Portsmouth peace ne
gotiations. at the close Of the Russo
Japanese war. Since his retirement
as president OF Russia's first consti-
tutional ministry he had been en-
gagged In a number of diplomatic
ventures. He was reported In Rome
last fall. attempting to induce Italy
to join the allies.
Count Witte was born In Tidia
in June. 1s49. After graduating from
the University OF Odessa he began
his career as clerk In railway
freight ONCE. He advanced rapidly
and his successful handling Of the
transportation problem in the Russo
Turkish war won him influence In
Official circles at Petrograd.
From an appointment as minister
OF communication, Count witte was
advanced a few months later to the
post OF minister of finance. Later
he was ascretary of state to his
majesty and privy councillor. when
the first Russian constitutional min
istry was formed he was made pres
ident, retiring In 1905.
Count witte possessed the highest
Russian and foreign orders. He had
been honored by many universities
and towns.
