Whereas, death has invaded the
ranks of the CoIlyer Farmers Union
and taken from us one of our most
respected and useful members; and
Whereas, the death of our fellow
member, Thomas TidbaH, occurred
under peculiarly distressing circum-
stances, being the result of wounds
received on the batt1efields of France
in defense of the flag of his country
and world liberty, now therefore
Be it resolved, Thatgin the death
of Brother TidbalI our Union has lost
a faithful member; his family has
lost a dutifuI son and brother; his
community has lost an intelligent and
Industrious citizen, and his nation has
lost loyal and patriotic soldier, and
Be 1t Further Resolved, That the
charter of this Union be draped for
period of thirty days as token of
our loss, and that these resolutions
be spread upon our records; that
copies be sent to all the local papers
of Trego County, Kansas, for publ
cation, and that a further copy be
sent to the aged parents of our de
ceased brother as a token of our
sincere sympathy with them in their
great bereavement.

markable meteor shower OF that year
and died on Monday, June 9th, 1919
His nurse did not dress him for sew
era1 hours thinking that the world
was Immediately coming to an end.
His life was an eventfu1 one from
birth to old age. When about twenty
four years of age he professed relig-

army service. Among these are the
records of numerous prayer meetings
held in camp and many Of which he
was the leader, thus Strengthening
his own Spiritual life while trying to
comfort and encourage others
After the war he returned to his
home in Iowa and engaged in farming

cial reverses came, due to his great
generosity with friends, which caused
him to gather the fragments of his
substance together and seek a home
in the west. He arrived in Trego
County in 1887 from Newton, Iowa,
took and developed a homestead by
means of which his former losses were
partially recovered spending his lat
ter days in peace. and comparative
comfort
His passing was silent and peace
full like the flowing of a quiet stream
of water while it passes swiftly along
IS at the same seemingly still. No

lowy waves, but a quiet passing out
Of one existence into another. The
day of his death was particularly
pleasant and enjoyable for him. The
family had retired for the night and
! Mrs. McCollum went in to bid him
good night, after being absent from
| his room for few minutes. She
found him wrapt in that peaceful
s1unnber which is not troubled by anx-
iety and which is not disturbed by
terrifying dreams. t--
He leaves a wife, Mrs Sadie Nc
Colluna, and three children, Mrs.
Fanny Dornlan and Mr.. Harley Nc
Co1lurn by a former marriage. Miss

Farraguts federal fleet passed the forts below New Orleans 57 years ago tomorrow, April 24, 1882, and the metropolis Of the Confederacy was at the mercy of the enemy It was one of the most terrible blows that had befAllen tho South in her struggle for secession, and, following on the heels Of Shiloh. would probably nave dis Couraged any but Anglo-Saxon war riors- In the history of the worlds navies few deeds so daring as Farra- guts have ever been attempted.
 Forts Jackson and St Philip, with their heavy guns and expert gunners, a fleet of Confederate ironclads and guuboats, and, worst of all, numerous fire rafls piled high with 'ipdammable materials. were the obstacles F'arra- gut faced as. in the darkness of the night, his IT ships advanced toward tho Crescent City. The perilous ps-Sage of the forts was commenced at z clock in the morning. After a short but terrible struggle the Con fcderate warships were defeated by the Union forces and General Butler, a the head of a land force, captured Fort St. Philip. Once Fa~-agut's
 
 times it was on fire, while many of his men were killed by the shells that shriebed through the rigging and burst on the decks
 When Tarragut appeared before the city panic reigned- There were few soldiers to defend the city, and, in the absence of able bodied and patriotic citizens, who were fighting the battles of the Confederacy on other fields, the thugs and rif-raff of inc Southern metropolis were un- restrained The women of the streets and the men of the gutter re-enacted, on a smaller scale, the scenes of the reign of terror in Paris during the Ff evolution The torch was applied to the cotton on the levees and the ships along the waterfront, and they were burning 1uridly when the black rnasts of the Union fleet came in sight around the bend of the river. Two officers without an escort, were land ed by F'arragut and walked, calm and unpeTturbed through the crowd to the City Hall to receive the surrender of the city
