Smith Center Man at 104, Still

Smith Center, kas.. Dec. g.
John Munsingcr, a widely known
citizen of this county, will cele-
brate his one hundred and fourth
birthday anniversary at the home
Of his son, Jay Munsinger, in Elk
county, tomorrow.
The mind of the aged man is
clear and strangers seldom esti-
mate his age to be over 80. His
appetite is good and he can eat
the usual foods with the relish of
a youngster. His long journey
through life has been marked by
temperate, regular habits and an
entire lack of worrying.
AS to health, Munsinger has no
more ills than the ordinary man
of so.

Lyman Laney Dead.

VIM. Laney, living a few miles
west of this city, received tele-
gram one day last week stating
that his son, Lyman Lancy, was
dead. The sad news came as a
terrible shock to the aged parents,
and other relatives and friends
i ere at the old home. Lyman was
young man who was reared in
this community, Industrious and
exemplary in every way and his
friends were legion. He had
been living with his family for a
number of years at Watertown, S.
d., where he was a prominent
member of the Masonic lodge, un-
der whose auspices he was prob
ably buried Sunday.
The father and mother left I'M
medistely for that place upon re-
ceipt of the message and have not
yet returned, consequently no
particulars regarding Lyman s
death can be given at this time.
IF he had been sick for any length
of time the parents were not
made aware of it.-Appleton City
Journal.

was due to a severe cold which he
contracted while watching the
army maneuvers.
Marquis Oyama was one of

Napoleon. His most brilliant
achievement was while he was in
command of the Japanese forces
in Manchura during the war with
Russia.

In 1920 Plans for Big Gel
. ebration Of States
Centennial

Missouri is going to become
100 years old, as a state, within
the next four or five years
There are so many rival dates
for the origin Of statehood, That
one can almost take his pick
but the date which has practically
fixed on for the purpose of, a
centennial celebration is July
10, 1920, This will bring the
centennial in 1920.
The committee in charge of the
celebration plans met in Kansas
City recently to make plans for
the 1920 celebration. The year
1920 is considered a good one for
a celebration, as it will be election
year. Furthermore it will be the
year of the celebration in Boston
and other New England places
of the three hundrcth anniyersa-
ry of the landing of the Pilgrim
Fathers at Plymouth.
If the Missouri committee
were to follow the records at
Washington, it would have to
hold it's celebration a year later.

Union was declared by President
