Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1922-11-30

For some years last past Albert
Watkins has been historian of the
Nebraska State historical society. He
was sometime editor of the Iowa
County Democrat and Superintend-
emit of Schools of Iowa County. From
The Lincoln State Journal of Sunday,
Nov. 10, we clip the following which
will be read with interest by Iowa
county friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Wat
kins:
Mrs. Albert Watkins and the two
daughters at the family home, gave
birthday party for Mr.. Watkins
last Thursday evening. The guests
comprised mainly couples Of ladies
and gentlemen who are intimate
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins.
There were covers for fourteen. The
flowers were choice in kind and quail
ity, and there was a brief program
of fine music. Mr.. Watkins told a
succinct story of his journey from
England, his birthplace to America.
The party comprised his father and
mother and four children, of which
he was the youngest-just six
months-and the oldest, a sister,
about seven years. Their maternal
grandfather and his youngest son, a
lad of sixteen, came with them. The
cathedral city of Worcester was the
family's immemorial residence. They
started from Liverpool at the middle
of May on the sailing ship Guy Man
nering. They chose this vessel in
preference to a steamship because it
was new and clean and therefore, as
they thought, safest from the chol-
era.
A hundred of the thousand Irish
passengers in the steerage died of the
then uncomfortable and very fatal
disease The oldest brother, still re-
members the daily casting of the
collins into the sea. The voyage re-
quired six weeks. From New York
the pilgrims proceeded by steamboat
up the Hudson to Albany, thence by
the Erie canal to Buffalo, and on to
Milwaukee by commodious steam
boat. The last lap to Mineral Point,
about $50 miles inland, was by stage
coach. The first railroad in Wiscon-
sin was started from Milwaukee

westward about two years and a haH
later. Railroad connection between
New York and Albany was first made
in the same year-1851.
All four of these Watkins children
lived beyond the term of seventy
years but only two survive. Albert
and the oldest brother, now II and
in vigorous health. The Oldest sister
died recently at IS. All of the five
children born to the Albert Watkins
branch of the family survive, and
there were appropriate remem-
ORANGES from the three who are resi-
dents of other states for the birthday
celebration. The remarkable hold on
life in both cases was mainly due to
the faithful English mothering.
The cholera broke out on the Ore
gon Trail in 1849 and followed it to
the Laramie mountains as a relent-
less scourge. Mr.. Watkins owns to
a subconscious premonition in the
midst of it's ravages on the Guy Man
nering that he was predestined to
gather more historic data of the
great highway for the Nebraska state
historical society, than can be found
in any other historical collection.
The following are among the pub
locations deposited on Armistice Day,
Nov. II, 1922, in the Corner Stone
of Nebraska's new capitol:

HARDING PLEDGES FULL COOPERATION
 IN LOUISIANA CASE
(Continued From Page One)

the state of Louisiana will be fully able to take care of the situation. There Is nothing at this time for tho federal government to do except give assurances to the state authorities that wherever federal interests arc. involved federal authorities are ready to extend full cooperation.
 Governor Parker's statement, pre- pared at the White House was az follows:
 "The responsible government of the state is determined that regard less of cost or consequence. most thorough investigation will be made of the outrages reported to have been made by the Ku klux Klan In Louisiana. Certain terrorizing out rages have been committed; certain horrifying crimes have been report ed and it is vital that responsibility shall be fixed and offenders pun lshed not because of any organized association but in spite of this.
 "The law of state and nation must be upheld under any and all circum- stances"
 Charges Misrepresentation
 In his letter to the Post, the Louis- lana governor said that never since he had been reading newspapers had he known a writer "to build such a fanciful superstructure on such a slight foundation of fact" as was done in the article sent to the Post from Baton Rogue and printed with such display in your issue of Sun

ises on both sides that there would be no handshaking at this function. But neither the Tiger nor the society members could be restrained, and Clemenceau shook hands all around with something less thaE75 persons.
 He made no formal remarks, but chatted with many of his hosts.
 Clemenceau devoted extra attention to Chauncey M. Depew when the for mer senator disclosed that they had been neighbors in Greenwich Village a half century ago.
 Mir. Depew said 1aughingly that It was a remarkable coincidence" that Clemenceau should have sailed over from France to take up his abode in the village at just about the same time that MT. Depew arrived from Pcekslsill, to do likewise.
 The Tiger laughed heartily and the two aged statesmen indulged for the old days.
 Kisses Children
 Clemenceau appeared deeply moved when, upon entering the Lamont home. he found the widow of 4 French soldier, with her three little daughters, waiting for a glimpse of him.
 The little girls presented him with bouquets. and he rewarded them each with a resounding kiss. He spoke in French for a moment to their mother.
 From the Lamont residence he drove. back to the Charles Dana Gib- son home. where he Is living, while in New York. and it was announced that Is would retire as soon as he lad had supper.
 Earlier today the Tiger submitted to thorough examination by two physicians, who pronounced him at the end Hike a man of 50.'' The ex- animation was suggested by Ir. Francois Le'Clercq of Morristown, v. j., an old friend of the ex-premier and Clemenceau assented readily enough. The doctors still are squab- bling over which have the precious few drops of Tiger blood, which was extracted from his arm for the pur- pose of a blood test.
 The only other visit Clemenceau made during the day was to the home of Col. b. M. House. He lunched with Colonel House and met several friends too.
 He also received several personal friends at the Gibson home, and probably will see several more to- morrow.
 Colonel Bonzal said the Tiger was spending a great deal of time in seclusion, reading books and period icals to get a. clearer understanding of American public opinion. Among the books that he hassoalled for are works of Theodore Roosevelt and woodrow Wilson.

By Associated Press

New York, November 20.--Georges Clemenceau, advocate of France. un- leashed his oratory today before one of the most critical audiences he is likely to face in America.
 Appearing for a 15-minute talk be- fore a group of newspaper editors and public hearers at luncheon ar- ranged by Ralph Pulitzer, of the New York World. the venerable Tiger plunged so deeply into the subject closest to his heart that 1t was 5s minutes before he could find stop ping place.
 His auditors represented many shades of political opinion. Among them were men who had written edi- torials criticizing his views on world politics. But at the end of his ad- dress they were all agreed on one thing; that Clemenceau is passion ately in earnest about the cause of France. and that his addresses will be well-worth hearing.
 The speech was delivered by closed doors, and 1t was generally agreed that 1t should not be reported but 1t was authoritatively described as follows;
 M. Clemenceau made a speech that was marked by extraordinary elo- quence, frankness and sincerity.
 Show What France Needs
 ''He said he had not come to America to tell the Americans what they should do. but to show them what France needs.
 His address was a complete, can did discussion of the situation as he sees 1t, and was marked throughout by deep emotion.
 He is specifically requested that no textual references be made, as he wished to reserve the matter for his public addresses"
 Col. Stephen Bonzal, who Is imme- diately In charge of the Clemenceau tour, said tonight that he did not know how long the. Tiger could talk in his first public address to be de- livered tomorrow evening In the Met ropolitan opera house.
 The S1-year old ex-Premier drove to his New York home immediately after the address and law down for nearly two hours. He appeared some- what wearied. but was up again

Has no equal for prompt results. Takes but g moment to prepare,

 Pine cough syrups are combinations is usually plain sugar syrup.
 To make the best pine cough remedy that money can buy, put 2A ounces of Pinex in pint bottle, and fill up with home made sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, you make a full pint more than you can buy ready made for three times the money. It is pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
 You can feel this take hold of cough or cold in | way that means business. The cough may be dry-- hoarse and tight, or may be persist. ently loose from the formation of phlegm. The cause is the same--in- famed membranes-and this Pinex and Syrup combination will stop it usually in 24 hours or less. Splen- did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse- ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of genuine Norway pine ex- tract, and is famous the world over for it's prompt effect upon coughs.
 Beware of substitutes. Ask your druggist for "2Ia ounces of Pinex" with directions. and don't accept any thing else. Guaranteed to give abso- lute satisfaction or money refunded. The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne, Ind.
