DEATH OF EDWARD L. JERRoLD

One of Farmington's Oldest, most
respected citizens passed over the
great divide in the death of Edward
l.. Jerrold, whose death occurred from
senility at his home in Pennington on
Friday morning of last week, March
10Th, at 2 a. m. For a couple years
Mr.. Jerrold had been in failing health,
and his death was not entirely unex-
pected. During the past three weeks
he had been rapidly growing weaker,
and his death occurred as stated. Just
before his death he was asked how it
felt to die, and with his characteristic
good humor and Irish wit, he replied
with witty quotation from Shake
speare.
Mr.. Jerrold was 70 years and nine
months of age at the time of his
death. He was married early in life,
and reared large family of sturdy,
industrious sons and one daughter,
all of whom are living except one
young son who died in early boyhood.
The funeral was conducted from the
Presbyterian church in Pennington,
of which he was a member, by the
pastor, Rev. R. S. Boyd, and the body
was laid, to rest in the Knights of Py-
thias cemetery, of which order he was
long an honored member. Mr.. Jer-
rold numbered his friends by the score,
and had wide acquaintance among
men of all classes throughout the
county, all of whom regret his pass
ing, and extend sympathy to his be-
reaved family, in which The Times
joins.

W. N. Fleming, of Pennington, has
decided to get into the race for the
Democratic nomination for Collector
of st. Francois county, and his name
appears in the numerous list for that
Office in another column of this issue.
The entrance of Mr.. Fleming into this
race will be quite a surprise, as his
name had never been mentioned in
connection with that office, so far as
The Times is informed, until the re-
quest for announcement was received.
There is perhaps no more popular
man in st. Francois county than Will
Fleming, who has been an active and
successful business man of this city
all his mature life. and grew up in
the county. Whenever one has trans
acted business with him another
friend is added to his long list, and
The Times doubts not that everyone
who has met him, especially in bus
mess connection, is still his friend.
He has large and influential family
connection, and is consistent, ac-
tive Democrat. While Mr.. Fleming
gets around on crutches, he handles
himself well on such artificial props,
after long years of constant practice,
ard the chances are that he will set
a pace that will be exceedingly diff
ticult to keep up with in the race for
Collector. . Il

TWO COMMITTED TO STATE
HOSPITAL TUESDAY

John Deering, a driller at the Fed
eral Lead Comany's mine, was COM
mitted to the State Hospital by the
County Court upon examination by
Drs. Eugas and Braning Tuesday,
who pronounced him of unsound mind.
Deering got out of bed some time Sum
day night, at his home in Pennington,
and telling his wife he was going
out for couple of hours, left with
nothing on but a night shirt and
fascinator he tied over his head. At
ter considerable search by neighbors
who were notified, he was located in
the neighborhood of Independence
school house, wandering about in a
dozed condition. When questioned as
to where he was going, he replied that
he was going out to number nine"
meaning the mill where he works. The
opinion was expressed by some who
talked with Deering that his temper
airy mental abboration was the result
of gas which is sometimes met with
in the mines of this county. 1t is said
that occasionally a pocket of this gas
is encountered, and the victim, upon
inhaling it, invariably becomes appar-
emily insane in some manner.
The Court also committed to the
Hospital Carrie Sears, a we'll known
woman living at Highlcytown, near
Desloge, whose husband, Ed Sears,
has been an inmate of the Hospital for
some time. Mrs. Sears, upon exami-
nation, was found to be of feeble
mind, and ordered committed to the
institution for treatment.

DEATH OF MRS. BEST

With the passing of Mrs. Best on
last Sunday night, st. Francois coun-
ty loses one of her best women and a
member of one of the pioneer families
of the county.
A short service was held at the
home on Tuesday at noon, after which
the body was taken to the M. E.
Church in Pennington, and services
conducted by her pastor, H. A. Mitch
ell, assisted by DR.. Schuttler. The
body was then laid to rest in the fam
lily burying ground four miles east
of Pennington.
Lydia Agnes Morgan was born
three miles southeast of Pennington,
March y, 1869. She grew to woman
hood and remained at the old home
stead until she was united in marriage
with Mr.. Best in 1900. Four boys
were born to this union. Besides the
husband and sons an aged mother and
three sisters with host of friends
are left to mourn the loss of one dear
ly beloved. One sen, father. a sis
ter and q brother preceded her into
the eternity. k8 \

The name of Henry M. O'Bannon
will be found in The Times announce
ment column this week, as a candidate
to succeed himself for the office of
Recorder Of Deeds of this county, sub
ject to the action of the Democratic
voters at the nominating primary,
August 9th. A second nomination is
generally conceded, especially for a
,two-year office, when the incumbent
has rendered a good administration
of such office. That Henry O'Bannon
has performed the duties of Recorder
of Deeds in a satisfactory manner dur
ing his entire term of office, there is
absolutely no question, and that he is
entitled to a second term we believe
practically all the people of the county
will concede. He has given his close
personal application and industry to
the work in that office, and the many
who have had business in that office
since he has been there will testify
that his knowledge of the details
there are thoroughly known to him.
Henry is native Sof st. Francois
county, and that he is popular the
fact that he won his former nomina-
ton, by a good majority, over an I'M
usually strong field, abundantly testi-
fies.

With the French Army in France,
Aug. l9.-Successive blows delivered
against the Germans since August 10,
all along the line from the Somme
to Soissons. appear to have brought
the operations to crucial point.
After yielding in the early operations
the enemy has been making des-

his resistance has failed to overcome
the steady pressure around Lassigny
and Roye,
The French third army made fur-
ther progress today in the region of
Lassigny and the Thiescourt hills.
They have occupied the greater part
of Beuvraignes and are forging nearer
Lassigny from the south of Fres-
nieres and the Canny woods and also
are pressing northward toward Las

These gains were made during the
most severe fighting. Lassigny is

NO DECISION YET
ON PROVISIONS
OF REVENUE BILL
Disagreement Bobs Up Be-
tween Treasury anG House;
How to Reach Excess
Profits Problem.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Disagree-
ment arose again today between the
Treasury department and the house
ways and means committee as to pro-
visions of the new revenue bill. The
treasury has submitted letter pro-
testing against increases in the ex-
cess profits tax rates of the present
law.
The committee and the treasury
have reached an agreement as to an
80 per cent war profits tax based on
pre-war earnings, but have been un-
able to arrive at common standing
on the method of reaching excess
profits, which classification it has
been estimated will affect only about
10 per cent of the total corporations
to be taxed>
The treasury asked that the present
excess profits law be included in the
new bill with an alternative war tax
of 80 per cent. The committee Sub
mitted its decision to the treasury
for its views. The treasury today in
its letter, which was not made public,
stood firm in its position in opposi-
ton to increase of excess profits tax.
Kitchin's Statement.
1t was originally in favor of a 10
per cent deduction and it may return
to it by some compromise action.
Chairman Kitchin authorized the fol-
lowing statement at the close of to-
days session:
The committee spent the entire
day considering the provisions Of the
bill and reached no agreement The
stamp tax schedule of the present law
was left intact except that the COM
nittee increased the tax rate on play
ng cards from seven cents to eight
cents pack"
The committee considered a tax on
opium and narcotics and it expects to
rame schedule which will yield ap-
3roximately $4000,000.
The committee tomorrow will pass
lpon Secretary McAdoo's plan for a
hree per cent differential on unearned |
Incomes. The treasury has recon-
nended normal tax of II per cent
IN earned, and IS per cent tax on
lnearned incomes.
