The following report Of the death
of Floyd Howard Lawrence who
passed away at Starkweather, IN.
D., will be Of interest to his friends
residing in Sank Centre and COM
munity:
"Just as the old year had passed
away to its final rest so did Floyd
Howard Lowrepce obey the call Of
his maker leaving behind all his
troubles that cruel fate had metsd
out to him.
His life as an invalid was not
an enjoyable one but he met it with
a smile and passed away as humb-
lie and lowly as only one Of Gods
children could.
Floyd had reached the age Of %
years last October and with the ex-
ception Of this last year had lived
his life at Sank Centre.
Since leaving Minnesota and
coming to North Dakota his condi-
ton gradually grew worse, pneu-
monia caght him and it proved too,
much for his frail body.

given by Rev. Buslee, at the home

the administration had no difficulty
in obtaining support in both par
ties to beat the plan.

the agriculture department would
lend to farmers, Senator Smith,
Democrat, South Carolina, tackled

controlled rural credit systems were
refused.
Senator Carey, Of Wyoming, took
care the senate should stay right
with the administration program by
having adopted a resolution to take
up the farm loan measure ahead Of
anything else today.
The senate did a lot Of talking
about the corporations probable
personnel, taking note Secretary
Mellon will be one Of the ex-officic
members together with the govern
or of the federal reserve board and
a farm loan commissioner. The oft
told argument that Mellon Is con-
nected with business was revived
but nothing was done about II.
Four other men are to be ap-
pointed by the president to the
corporations directorate, which
must be bipartisan in-character. The
name of Bernard N. Baruch, of
New York, Democrat, continues to
be freely mentioned as a likely
choice.

Service at theg rave was under
the auspices Of the Gentry Lodge

made in Gentry cemetery.
Henry Vessey was born in Nor

being one of a family of twelve
children, all of them having pre-

At the age of Is, he came to the
United States with his parents,
who settled in eastern New York,
on the Hudson River, later moving
to Michigan, then to Minnesota,
where he grew to manhood.
At the age of 81, he enlisted in
Company D. Second Minnesota Vol.
unteer Infantry, and served nearly
four years in the Civil War. He
was wounded and taken prisoner at
the Battle of Chickamauga, after
which he spent eight months in the

hibitors for the 1881 fair were paid
on the basis of IS per cent. In spite
of that settlement the association
was compelled to dig into it's badly
drained Golfers to pay for the pr en-
iums.
Mr.. Hillerud's report showed that
the gross receipts from the fair
from all sources was $8y679; the ex-
penses were $8,857. Revenue was
secured in the form of $1,175 frcrn

in the report that patrons Of the

to see the exhibits, but that many
of them failed to be attracted GO

The question Of free acts and eth
err entertainment is always a SER
ious problem. For many years 1t
appears to have been the idea of
those in charge of fairs that they
spend large sums for entertainment
to attract ,eople to the fair.
At Thursday evenings meeting
the question Of combining the 1892
Stearns County fair to strictly
agricultural fair was seriously con-
sidered. The stockholders realized

Speared Through the Ice at Sank
Lake Narrows Monday
Morning

Monday morning Charles Miller
made a casual drive to his fish
house at the narrows Sank Lake
hoping that he might be able to Sc
cure enough food for the family.
He had not been looking down the
hole in the ice but short time UNI
til a fish which looked like q
whale came swimming majestically
by.
Without moment to loose
Charley hurled his trustt spear in
to the opening. It struck with a
thud, following by an instant bat
tie. Mr.. Miller realized he had a
prize and put up a valiant fight.
Eventually he landed a Great
Northern pike, 40 inches long, 10
inches around the girth, and weigh
ing 10 pounds.
So far as the Herald has been
able to ascertain Mr.. ,Miller's catch
is the largest OF the winter season
