DEATH OF MRS. TREAS.

Her many friends will be sor-
ry to learn of the death of Mrs.
w. H. Treas, which occurred
Monday. She was a fine lady; a
good, noble Christian woman,
who will be missed by her COM
panion and the entire community.
For several years she was an in
valid, but bore her suffering with
patience and fortitude. She was
a member of the Methodist
church, at Rush Creek, at which
place the remains were laid to
rest.
Besides her husband, one son,
Ernest Treas, brother, Albert
Roper, and two half sisters -
Mesdames Lee Rose and jeff Da-
Wis - survive her. Mrs. Treas
was sixty some odd years old, but
We are unable to give further or
full particulars this week. But
We can say, wit@ut fear Of con-
tradiction, that her death takes
from us one of the best ladies in
the county-one whose loss will
be universally mourned.

We are told that a high Mis-
souri, court has finally handed
DOWN a decision to ferry-landing
privileges on the Missouri side
which puts the Hickman Ferry
Co., with its fine new boat, in a
bad shape SO far as operating
between Hickman and Dorena is
concerned. 1t knocks them out
of a landing closer than 11 miles
below Dorena or q mile or two
above town. The Barnes Ferry,
meanwhile, can Land anywhere 1t
chooses directly opposite town.
1t seems that for ten years at
least the ferry situation has been
one Of annoyance to both opera
tors and public, and ultimately
something viii have to be done.
The situation at present is real
ly under the control of one Mr..
Lewis, who owns the island and
part of the chute opposite this
city. 1t is to the interest of the
State of Missouri and the Com
monwealth Of Kentucky that good
ferry service be maintained and
some sort Of reciprocity agree
ment should be reached There
ought to be either an exclusive

Mrs. Elizabeth Hertweck, of
Cairo, Ills, formerly of Hickman,
KY, on January 18th, 1917, de-
parted this life to the rest that
awaits the people of God. She
was in her seventy-eighth year,
her long life was full of faith
and good works In the Master S
name. She was patient and gen.
tie in her dealings and associa-
tiOns with whom she came in
contact. She was a member
of the First Christian church of
Cairo, and was faithful in. her
duties to it. She was the mother
of nine children, seven of whom,
with her husband, who is eighty

her home for the past four years
with her daughter, Mrs. John r.
Ford, of Cairo. To the famil y
we would say, take comfort in
the patience and triumphant faith
of your mother and through life
bear patiently the trying Ordeals
and circumstances of life, and
to all we commend the patience

MISTAKE PROVES FATAL.

Z. M. Flack died at one o.
clock yesterday as a result of
poison in prescription, the
wrong drug being used. The
prescription was given by his
son-in-law, DR.. r. l.. Woodland,
and called for kodine as one OF
the ingredients. 1t was taken to
Cooks Drug Store and in the abb
|sence of Mr.. Cook, who was at
home ill, was filled by Jack
Goodman, of Eikton, the pharma-
cist. After filling the prescrip-
ton Mr.. Goodman tasted the
mixture and sent it to Mr.. Flack,
who was suffering from bronchial
asthma. AS soon as the medi-
cine arrived he took a prescribed
dose and in a short while began
to suffer with dizziness. In the
meanwhile Goodman himself
became sick from having tasted
the medicine and went to DR..
Perkins office nearby and
quick investigation disclosed the
fact that Goodman had used afro
pine instead of kodine. DR.. Wood
ard telephoned at once to see II
Mr.. Flack had taken the medicine
and learning that he had rushed
to him at once ard with other
physicians did everything possi-
bic to save his life. but in vain.
He took the medicine and died

Suspicion Can Be Relieved.

The poiht has been made that only
a few members of Congress have been
quoted as stating their conviction that
the clerks should get the increases. and
the intima ton that the big majority in
Congress who had not been quoted
were of a different frame of mind. This
suspicion can be relieved in very posi-
tive words. The members quoted were
selected because they are recognized
leaders and because they will have a
direct say in the framing of the ap-
preparations bill which will provide for
the increases. What they have to say
unanimously declaring in favor of con-
tinuing the and 10 per cent graded
increase, and many of them outspoken
for still further increases-is typical of
the opinions being expressed generally
by the members of the House.
Not one member of Congress has yet
been found who says he does not think
the government clerks will get the 5
and 10 per cent increase, or who does
not say that he thinks they have a
good argument for getting even more.
