Death came to Mrs. David Church
at her home near Murdo on Tuesday
evening. June 9Th. following an i'll.
ness of only a few weeks. Funeral
services were held on Thursday, June
10th, and burial was made beside the
grave Of her child who was lost some
years ago.. Her mother, Mrs. Ed
ward Muehmel, had been with her for
several weeks helping in the care of
the invalid and also keeping up the
home fo- the husband and two child
rem, and come of her brothers and sis
ters were also with her all the time.
Several years ago Mrs. Church de-
veloped symptoms of tuberculosis, and
submitted to two operations for the
removal of tubercular glands on the
cords in her neck and chest. On the
advice of her physician she spent nine
months in Arizona. Her family &C.
companied her and they remained in
Arizona until the doctors pronounced
all traces of tuberculosis gone. They
returned TO Murdo and. while not ro-
bust she enjoyed good health. Last
March she suffered an attack of the
flu. 1t developed into quick consump-
ton, and she collapsed and declined
rapidly.
Miss Kate Muebmel was born at
Scotland on January a, 1879. Her
girlhood was spent here, and she was
for a time a teacher in the Scotland
school. At the time of the opening
of Lyman county, che went to Presho
and took up a claim, teaching neal
her claim. Here she met Mr.. David
Church, to whom she was married.

them back with thanks, refusing the
doubtful honor firmly, but always
politely--that is, politely as far as
his letters of declination were con-
cerned. There is no reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Watterson will do
otherwise than as he always has
done with regard to his latest COM
mission.
One Of the primary rules of his
paper, one of the first things each
'cub" on "The Courier-J ournal" had
to learn, was that the editor was just
"Mr." Watterson, or plain Henry
Watterson (and not Henri, either)
in the columns of his journal.
Colonel" being purely honorary
and unearned title, was taboo.
"The new executive should think
twice before palming upon real
friend one Of these absurd titles"
was the comment of "The Courier
Journal" upon the recent occasion
of Governor Morrow's shower of
commissions. "They should be re-
served for persons whom the Gov
ernor dislikes. It's dollar to q tin
sword that the Governor could never
think Of a sweeter revenge than to
sneak up on an enemy-one who has
never smelled powder and never will
smell powder-and while the latter

The ranks Of the COATED and mas

Terley House to see whether we could
take her out to tea to tell her the

Mrs. De Brenna agreed with us
that Genevieve was an unusual girl
and far above the average mentally
Of those who come to Waverley
House. But she could rot let her
go with US. To make long story
short, Gcnevieve had been found to
be one Of the worst girls who had
ever come under the care OF Waverley
House. The recommendation would
be made that she be sent to an IN
stitution. AS Dr. Montague, the
psychiatrist Of Waverley House,
said, there were many things Gene
We've might teach the delinquent
women in an institution, but there
was nothing she could learn from
them.
Genevieve had never been nearer
Russia than the moving picture
theater. She had comfortable
home in Massachusetts, and respect
able parents who were willing to
take her back if she would stay with
them. The baby whose picture we
had seen, not her first, by the way,
she had tried to kill several times.
She had run away with the husband
Of one of her bcnefactors. She
had stolen since she was nine years
old. In fact, the Investigation
brought reports Of a bad record for
the girl from number of Pennsvl-
vania towns, from Boston and New
York. Mentally and physically. the
tests showed that she was above the
average.

Kentucky Is to Lose Both

adange conspicuous seventy aides wore ds

swords adangle, conspicuous at
the Governors receptions.
Acting Governor Charles A.
Wickliffe had three Of them on his
staff in 1886. There was a nota-
ton in his minutes Of the appoint
ment of aides without any designa-
ton Of rank.
1t was in those early days that
the state militia system was under
going q fundamental change, init
ating the volunteer organization of
the National Guard, such as exists
to-day, and the staff officers grad
ually altered from the character of
useful adjunct of the military
establishment to purely orna-
mental position in the executive
suite.
Back in the early thirties of the
last century Kentucky had as many
as 1913 regiments Of militia, three
or four major generals, a corporal's s
guard of brigadiers, and almost as
many active colonels as Governors
Stanley and Black, the immediate
predecessors Of the incumbent, des-
lgnated on their respective staffs
a goodly platoon Of majors, and so
many captains and licutenants that
the Assistant Secretary Of State
fell into the habit Of entering on
the journal the appointment of
"sundry' company and platoon Of
ficers.
In those days every able-bodied
man between the ages Of eighteen
and forty-fivc was member Of the
state militia. They even had an
nual musters. The state was d.
vided into regimental territories
and every man liable to military
duty in the territory was enrolled
as a member Of that regiment.
Governor Isaac Shelby's journal
consists almost exclusively Of the
appointment of militia officers and
calls on the state militia To put
down Indian uprisings during the
term of office of the states first
chief executive.
II is conjcctured that a STAFF
position in those days excused a
man from active service in the
militia, although the Governors
staff, in view Of the large military
establishment, may have had some
real duties to perform. At all
events, as the old system gradually
sank into non-observance, the staff
multiplied, and as the list of real
generals, colonels and majors
shrank, the list OF aides with the
rank of colonel increased.

to let US talk to her.
