OBITUARY

Jacob Feitz was born October "a,
1910, in OberwyI Canton Berne, Swift
zerland, and died July 20, 1916, in Hays,
Kansas.
He came to America in 1773, spent
one year in New York, then moved to
Toledo, Ohio. He was converted and
united with the Methodist Episcopal
ch urch while living in Toledo in 1875.
He married Miss Anna Elizabeth
Rieger in Monroe, Michigan, Septem-
Der &c, 1876. They moved to Kansas
in 1877 taking homestead eight miles
southwest of Hays. Here they became
part of the then new west. The
conditions were never hard enough to
drive them from their new western
home as many hundreds OF other set
tiers were. They passed through all
the hardships and won their place.
Nine children were born to this union.
One died in infancy. All of US remem-
Der the sad death of Miss Hattie Feitz
who was burned to death about three
years. ago.
Mrs. Albert Crawford, Mrs. Albert
Copeland and Mrs. Peter Symansky,
Herman and Joel Feitz, all living south
of Hays, and Mrs. Harvey Briner of
Fayette City, Pennsylvania, and Miss
Anna Fei,z of Hays, are here to mourn
with their mother the loss of their
father.
Mr.. Feitz has been well known in
this county for thirty-nine years. For
more than thirty years he carried
the United States mail-he was always
found at his job. Weather never too
bad to keep him from his duty, and
only accidents could keep him from
travelling his mail route.
He was rather unfortunate in that
he had many accidents, from run-a-
way teams. He had many times
broken bones spent numbers of weeks
in hospitals, but was always recovering
and taking his place among men. Ma
ture had given him constitution that
remindedus many Of US Of the rugged
ness gf his native Swiss hills.
He was kind neighbor, an indulgent
father, true husband. He was a mar
who was admired for his real worth. He
believed In God His faith never fall
tered. He was ready to go into the
great beyond, into the presence of his
heavenly Father. Often. was he heard
to say he wanted to go to be at rest.
''Why does He not Gomez" was 2
question often on his lips.
He will be missed. He had made q

Hon. Otis L. Benton was here Mon
day visiting and shaking hands with
the people. He surely is deserving of
what little assistance we can give him
in the primary August 1st, this being
the first time he has ever asked for
public office of any kind. During his
80 years residence among US, he has
been a good citizen-made mistakes OF
course-se have you and l. He is go
ing to be nominated and elected and
his power will be felt in Washington.
He will not need a ''Self Commencer

far. I have said many times, that
Benton IS the biggest and best man in
the district for Congress, and that ne
is from Decatur county we should
swell with pride. He came here in a
covered wagon. He has fought all the
reverses and has never been known to
Law down on a. friend. He has used
much energy and time during the past
year working in the district and many
now know that Decatur county is on the
map. He is always boosting for Kan
sas, and especially the Sixth Congress

some money with his time-he is no
cheap skate-he has always paid his
way. We need him in Congresses to

and it is so apparent on the surface as
to need little or no explanation. The
Telegram realizes that if John Connei-
ly (Who in fact Is really the power be
hind the throne as far as the Telegram
is concerned) is to be elected again the
only salvation will be to get the Re-
publicans to nominate Anderson. These
Democratic papers know that John

whole proposition in a nut shell. An

Mr. and Mrs. Fred SchwalIer have
purchased the old Schwaller home from

Miss Elizabeth Schwaller left Sunday
night for California, where she expects
to reside in the future. Miss Schwaller
will be missed greatly by her numerous
friends. She was an able worker In
the various Clubs of the city.
Why don't the city council enact

Nearly every one in the community is
aware of the fact that the Yankee Rob
inson circus will visit Hays, Wednes-
day, August g Miles of pretty paper
has been spread broadcast heralding
the coming of the shows. The Yankee
Robinson circus has always featured
trained animals. This year it brings
more than ever before and in greater
variety. Recently troupe of trained
polar bears, something seldom seen in
this country, was added to the per
Torrance. In addition there are lions,
pumas, leopards, bears of three vari-
cites, seals, monkeys, and elephants
In the seal troupe is an animal that
walks the tight rope while carrying &
ball on his nose. This is said to be the
limit of wild animal training. All the
animal acts are a part of the circus
performance and are present IN the big
tent during the main show Thus they
constitute an added feature. The
horses with the circus this year, are ar
attraction. There are nearly three
hundred in the herd Several time:
the circus has had offers from European
governments for these animals, but tn.
management refuses to part with thii
attractive feature of the circus. Thes,
horses will be seen in the street parad,
in Hays, Wednesday, August 2.

Democrats Want to Nominate Anderson

The Democratic press over the Sixth
district and especially the parent organ,
the Norton Daily Telegram, are frantic
in their efforts to induce the Republi-
cans to nominate Max Anderson for
Congress in place of Otis L. Benton.
They are making some of the most
pitiful appeals and citing the most un-
heard of reasons why Anderson should
be nominated Under the caption
Clocks Good for Anderson" the Norton
Telegram contained an article lambast-
ing Mr. Benton and lauding Anderson
to the skies. 1t would seem to most
Republicans as well as to large num-
Der of Democrats that the Democratic
papers would about have their hands
full nominating their own Office, yet
they are very anxious to see Anderson
