Gone 10 a Better World

After an illness of little more
than a week, E. P. Martin died
at his home in Ferdinand yester-
day afternoon of acute nephritis,
aged 40 years, 5 months and 8
days. The deceased was taken
ill early last week and after a
few days his condition became
quite serious. On Monday the
relatives were summoned to his
bedside but in spite Of all med
ical skill could do to combat his
ailment he continued to fail until
death ensued shortly after noon
yesterday. The announcement
Of his demise came as great
shock to his many frierd3 in this
locality, few of whom had really
known of his having been ill.
Ellery Pearl Martin was the
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. L.
Martin and came to this place
with his parents when b 1t boy
from the east. He grew to man
hood here and graduated from
the local schools, later taking a
short course at the state univer-
sity at Moscow. When the
Spanish-American war broke out
he enlisted as a volunteer and
served about two years in the
Philippines, receiving a credit
able discharge at the end of the
war.
After returning h o m e h e
taught school for term or two
and then entered the employ of
Brown & Brust, local merchants,
remaining with them for several
years. During this time he was
united in marriage to Miss
Blanche Fry and to them five
children were born, four of
whom are still living. Later on
he moved to Cotton, Wash.
where he was engaged in the
mercantile business for a time
and then entered the employ OF
the bank at that place. About
four years ago he returned again
to the prairie and tried farming
for a year, after which he moved
to Ferdinand and secured the ap.
pointment of post master ano
also ran the Ferdinand paper fol
a time. He was still post master
and had just purchased a stock
Of groceries and installed then
in the building with the post of.
fee shortly before his death.
Pearl Martin was a man who
had but few real enemies and
numbered his friends by hun,
dreds. He was honest to a mark
ed degree, generous to a fault and
was always working for the best
interests Of, the community in
which he resided. A loyal friend
and loving husband and father,
his death thus early in life comes
as a most severe blow to all who
knew him best. Besides his wife
and children, he leaves his par
ents, three brothers and one sis
ter, and countless friends to
mourn his loss.
The funeral will be held to-
morrow at one or two o'clock
from the residence of his brother,
A. O. Martin, in this city and
will be in charge of the Mason
ic order, Of Grangeville, ofwhich
he was a member. He was also
a member of the Knights of
Pythias and Odd Fellow lodges.
Interment will be made in the
local cemetery.
The Chronicle joins wit h
friends of the stricken family in
extending to them deepest SYM
patty in their hour of sorrow.

AMERICANS IN GERMAN ARMY
Enemy Forcing Sons Of United States
citlxens In Germany Into
Service.

Copenhagen.-The German military
authorities continue the practice of
putting into the army persons living
In Germany who have lost their orig
inal citizenship without acquiring Ger
man nationality. A new order says
that former nationals Of foreign states,
including former Americans, will not
be employed with the front-line troops,
but must serve in the armies Of occu-
patton or elsewhere behind the front.
This applies to German-Americans
who returned to Germany to live after
being naturalized in the United States.
The children Of such parents are II
able to service in the trenches in case
they have not completed the neces-
sary steps to obtain American citizen
ship.

COLLARS AND CUFFS ALIKE
Innovation Due to the Recent Vogue
for Plain Tailored Serge and
Satin Frocl<s.

It is worthy Of note that all the
newest models In collars are accom-
panied ny cuffs. This is due to the re-
cent vogue for plain tailored serss-' i'i,d
satin frocks, which are to be SO smart
for street wear this fall, and which
require no other trimming than the
relief afforded by the white or con-
trasting tones Of neckwear. Lovely
little collars cut narrow In the back
and in deep points in the front are
finished with three rows Of tiny ruffies
edged with picot; these are accom-
panied by deep cuffs showing the same
trimming.
Most of the collars shown are de-
veloped in sheer organdie, with double
hand hemstitching, hand embroidery
and very narrow frills Of valenciennes
lace. A great many of them are nm
ished with black crepe DE- chine ties
or small taffeta tailored bows.
Filet lace is extensively used in col
lars for separate blouses, especially In
the high necked models.

AND NOW THE PETTIBockER'
New Undergarment Designed for
Women Who Dance, Skate or En-
gage in Active Work.

A new undergarmentS Of silk jersey,
designed for women who skate, dance
or do active war work, has been
named the Pettibocker and combines
the features of both petticoat and
knickerbockers.
The boomers are gathered on an
elastic at the waist. cut extra full. and
with cuffs also gathered on elastic
bands. They are long enough to reach
below the calf Of the leg, but should
be worn directly below the knee.
Several inches above the cuff OF
each leg flounce is attached, slightly
gathered, but SO put on as not to in
terfere with the width Of the bloom
ers at that point.
The founces are designed to reach
the hem Of the outer skirt and elimi-
nate the necessity Of petticoat, even
when the outer garment Is of sheer
materials. As the fiounces are at
tached above the elastics, they will be
pulled up just as the outer skirt is
pulled up when the wearer is sitting.
instead Of showing beneath as did the
flounces Of the old tango carriers"

Migratory Perplexities Of the Riceoird.
The bobolink, or ricebird. Is COM
mon songster in the eastern regions OF
the country. 1t winters in Central
America and the West Indies. Up to
short time ago the bird was exclud-
ed from the Western states because.
being frequenter Of damp meadows,
1t could not cross the intervening arid
belt. But the progress in irrigation
extended the bobolink's area of habita-
ton. We now find the ricebird almost
close to the Pacific. Curious.y enough.
the return journey from It's winter
quarters follows the old route, /. e.,
the Eastern states, the birds having
