San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 19.-Gen-
eral Frederick Funston, commander
Of the southern department, United
States army, since February, 1915,
who became famous as a result of his
capture of Aguinaldo, the Filipino
rebel chief, died suddenly at a ho-
tel here tonight few minutes after
he had finished dinner. He collapsed
while seated in the lobby of a hotel
talking with friends, and was play
ing with little Inez Silverberg of
Des Moines, Iowa, guest with her
parents at the hotel, when he fell
unconscious. Death was almost in
stantaneous.
General Funston was 81 years of
age.
Had Strenuous Year
Ever since March, 1916, when he
was placed in command of all United
States forces on the Mexican border,
General Funston has worked at an
unusual pace. At critical times in
border developments he frequently
remained on duty "a hours of the
"a. The handling of regulars dis
posed of at various stations on tie
border, the Pershing expedition and
of late re-arrangement of regular
troops while providing for the return
of national guardsmen, have entail
ed an enormous amount of detail
work, probably exceeding that which
fell to any commanding general of
the United States army since the
Civil War.
Completes Guard Return Order
Only today General Funston COM
pleted orders for the return of the
last Of the guardsmen. Because of
the amount of work which has fallen
to him, General Funston's only rec
reation or relaxation for nearly a
year has been an occasional dinner
party with friends.

Horses SHED But
Not the School Kids
Willist0n's First Auto Was "Glide"
Only Sometimes 1t Refused To
Made Tande Hill, Once

It would be pretty hard to find out
who brought the first horse to Viii
liston, but the identity of the mar
who owned the first automobile is
we'll established.
The date when the first car was
guided up Main Street is hard to fix
exactly, but it was not so long ago
but what plenty Of people who are
still residents of the city remember
incidents in connection with the com
ing of the car. Some of these people
tell you that pictures are is existence
showing the proud and happy owner
in assorted positions, under, over
and at various distances from this
first car. He was then, as now,
known as pusher, so in some cases
camera owners snapped him behind
the car. Often he was seen on the
road between the said car and the re-
pair shop-which was the blacksmith
shop.
There will be no car of this make
at Williston's first automobile show
so it is safe to divulge the make
it was "Glide." The man who in
vested in it says it should have been
called a Snide. It was purchased on
the condition that it "make" Handle
hill. It made it-once out Of three
trials with bucket of gasoline as
bait at the top and a couple Of assis
tants coming behind to block the
wheels between rests. So John (sure
it was John Bruegger's carr felt that
he ought to keep it. He probably
would have kept it if it had never
made Tande for "horseless car
riage" was mighty attractive in those
days and this one did sometimes run
beautifully for several miles at
stretch.
Mr.. Brueeger says that Ed Link
was his first chaffeur and fired up
the Glide and headed her up Main
street. When he passed the school
house the children got a GLIMPSE
through the windows and school was
"out" right then. The teachers did
not concur in the motion but that
made no difference.
About the biggest worry Of all, |
says Mr.. Bruegger, was the horses: |
they lust simply would not "stand"
for this new tangled conveyance that
claimed half the road. And the old
er the horse the bigger fool he was.

Chicago Quartet
Pleased Audience

The Chicago Male Quartet, the
lyceum course number at the Arm
ory Friday evening, delighted their
audience whose only disappointment
came when the evenings program
ended.
The selections of the quartet af-
forded good variety and the program
as whole was such as could be ap-
preciated by music lovers Of almost
any taste. The gentlemen compos-
ing the organization are gifted with
voices that show to advantage in
either solo numbers or quartet work
Some of the numbers that seemed
especially to please the big audience
were: Brahms Lullabye, The Flag
Without a Stain, and the Sextette
From Lucia.
In addition to their artistic work,
the audience liked them because of
their genial and unaffected manners
on the rostrum.

Era Bond Tells His
Side of Auto Deals
Habeas Corpus Expert, Now in Cook
County Jail Says He is Innocent
Frame-up Victim

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Era Bond, re-
Gently extradited from Minneapolis
and termed by States Attorney
Hoyne, the king of the automobile
trust, recited his side of the circum-
stances which have placed him in the
Cook county Jail, facing a string Of
five indictments.
"Since Nov. 20, 1915, the authcri-
ties of both Cook county and Henne-
pin county have been doing their Ut
most to get the goods on me-" he
said. ut is true they have me lock-
ed up at present, but he who laughs
last laughs best, and, believe me, l
will laugh last.
80, Calls Charges Trumped Up ....
This trumped up charge against
me dates back to November, 1915,
when Chief of Police Oscar Martin
son of Minneapolis traced an auto
mobile to a Minneapolis garage. l
bought that car and do not deny it.
AS it happened, the car had been
stolen, so l am told, from Schuyler
c. Schwartz of Chicago.
II bought that car in good faith
and had the bill Of sale in my posses
sion from man named Wallace. I
paid Wallace $500 for it and also
transferred two lots in Montana to
him. 1t was just about this time
that Earl Harris and Edward Arm
helm were arrested in Minneapolis
for 'prowling hotel Chief Mar
tinson recognized both Harris and
Arnheim as being wanted in Chicago
for stealing automobiles.
"They were asked if they knew Era
Bond, and both denied they knew
me. Within a few days they were
sent back to Chicago. l want to say
at this time that do not know Har-
ris and never did know him. Har-
ris at present is at liberty en- a $500

Miss Wilmer Is A
Rare Entertainer

AS the sixth and concluding num-
ber of the winter lyceum course the
committee presents Sarah Mildred
Wilmer in character impersonations
and dramatic masterpieces.
This number comes Monday, Feb
ruary 26, 6:l5 p. NJ, at the Armory.
Miss Wilmer comes highly prais-
ed by press and critics and it has
been said that in the quality of her
work she now ranks in the Lyceum
where Sarah Bernhardt ranks in the
theatrical profession.
In her ability to interpret the mas.
ter literary production from the plat
form she has no superior.
In temperament, or emotional
power, the ability to move an au-
dience to laughter or tears, Miss
Wilmer is without an equal.
No task of Interpretation has been
too great for her and no audience,
however great the expectation, ever
has gone away disappointed.

TEACHERS FOR GOOD ROADS
From University Men Down to Workers
in Country Schools, Wholesome
Benefit Is Seen.

Back of the movement for the
creation by the General Assembly of
the State Highway Department, for
the organized construction of main
market highways in Indiana, and the
getting of the $2,109000 of federal
aid, are the school authorities of the
state and the teachers generally, for
they know that with good roads come
better educational facilities and the
development of better citizenship in
the communities.
This support from the teachers
comes from the men employed in the
universities and colleges on down
through the school system to the
teachers of the country schools who
are brought fact to face with the
evils of bad or poor roads.
The rural population is more will
ing to support better schools today
than at any previous time. 1t is be.
ing realized that all educational ac-
tivities or agencies must be more or
less correlated, and, more than all
else, that they must be more accessi-
BILE to the children. In many coun-
ties where bad roads prevail, most OF
the schools are of the Anticipated one
room variety.
Irregular Attendance.
They are usually located along bad
roads which, during the winter. when
the schools are usually in session, be-
come so nearly impossible as OF make
it difficult for the children to reach
them. This condition causes irregular
attendance and restricts the educa-
tional opportunities of the child. Not
only this, but it often impedes the
economic consolidation of these small
er schools into larger, stronger
graded schools, with high school
courses, directed by a competent
principal and corps of teachers.
On the other hand, in counties
which have improved their roads, the
schools are easily reached, the aver.
age attendance greater, the efficiency
largely increased and economic con
solidation made possible. Regular at
tendance at school means consistent
and regular growth of both schoo
and pupil, and consolidation of school:

Business as Usuap
By J. Ogden Armour

the government of the United States
is now a buyer for war purposes,
and the dollars of Uncle Sam have
already begun to pour forth to
stores, factories and farms to pay
for the expense of mobilizing, drill
ing, equipping and feeding the Army
and Navy.
l consider the present the most
suspicious from the standpoint of
national prosperity in my memory.
There is not one good reason why
the business of this country should
not proceed in it's normal course and
on ever-increasing lines. There is
not one reason why people should
permit themselves to be swayed
from the certainty that they are on
sound financial basis.
The per capita wealth of Ameri-
cans today is greater than ever be-
fore-greater than that of the peo-
pie of any nation at any time in the
past, or in the present. Our national
wealth is past the widest dreams
of few years back. Labor is salts
factorily employed and at record
wages. Every day that the war lasts
will find greater demand for the
labor and the brains of the wage
and salary earners of the United
States. Certainty of work and GER
tainty of wages are the prime fac
tors of prosperity. They make pros
perity certain.
Whether the war ends tomorrow,
or whether it lasts indefinitely, this
much is certain: The United States,
having possession of approximately
40 per cent of the worlds supply of
gold, the greatest natural resources
and geographical isolation, is certain
to suffer less than any other nation
in the war or in the whole world.
The future of our nation is secure;
our business prosperity is founded
on safe ground; our labor situation
is remarkably good and l cannot con-
ceive of sane or justifable reason
why the people of the United States
should become alarmed over any
phase of the martial, business or in
dustrial situation.
Faith is the great need of the peo-
pie today-faith in Providence to
lend might to our right, faith in ma
ture to respond beautifully to the
wonderful efforts of our agricultur-
lists to increase the food supply to
provide surplus for our allies, and
faith in our government which has
taken hold of the problems before it
in a way that demonstrates it is
deserving of our faith.
