Baker was bo iu Sid ney, Deleware Co., N. Y., April 19, 1844 and died at Worthington, Minn Dec. 17,1900. He was the son of one of the leading families of Sidney and passed his boyhood days on the old home farm. Sept. 5,1864 he enlist ed as a private in Co. 46th regi ment N. Y. Vol. Inf., and served un til the close of the war. In 1868 he entered into business relations with W. I. Teed, establish ing a genera] store at Masonville, N. Y., in which they were very success ful in the winter of 1872 the store was destroyed by fire. Mr. Teed then came to Worthington and open ed the clothing store which has since the fall of 1873 been owned and con ducted by Mr. Baker, to whom be longed the honor of having been the longest in business without change of any one in Worthington. The store was first opened in a frame building on 10th street, and contin ued therein until the summer of 1899 when the wooden structure was re placed by a substantial brick, in which it is now located. Only fail ing health lessened Mr. Baker's bus iness activity. He was strictly hon orable, a public spirited and charita ble citizen, having many friends and no enemies. In 1888 he was married to Mrs. A. L. Law by whom he had one son, Glen. At the time of her marriage, Mrs. Baker had two daugh ters, one of whom is Mis. A. N. Chen ey, of Readiug the other, Debt.

Summary of the Declamatory Contest Work. The annual furore connected with High School declamatory contest is over. The public has given this feature of the public school work es pecially hearty support this year and the results, whether reckoned in the* improvement made by those enter ing the contest, or in the medals won, or in the money raised for the library are correspondingly gratifying. This is probably the most profitable test we ever held. con- At the public contest Nov. 28, at which the regular high school med als were awarded, in the oratorical group first place was given to Jet Smallwood and second place to Fred Tripp in the dramatic section first went to Florence Maxwell and second to Edna Goodrich in the humerous class Frances Clark ranked first and Raeben Oaks second. The receipts for the evening were' $46.65, the ex pences $11.45 and the net prceeds $35.20. At the Joint contest with Windom, held here Dec. 7, in the oratorical class Jet Smallwood took first place Fred Tripp second in the dramatic Florence Maxwell was first and Ruth Macomber (Windom) second in the humerous Frances Clark was marked first and Ella Meilicke (Windom) was ranked second. Thus Worthington secured three firsts and one second. At this contest we had a crowded house and the receipts amounted to $57.75. But the expenses were par ticularly heavy—besides the custom bills, there was the cost of sending our contestants to Windom and one half the cost of the medals there awarded and one-half the expenses of the judges who came from outside towns to serve at Worthington and at W indom. The expenses thus amount ed to $32.10, leaving the net proceeds $25.65. The net proceeds from the two entertainments amounts to $60 85, and will provide a very pleas ing addition to the library. The joint contest with Windom held at Windom, occured Dec. stung so that some of the Windom people circulated reports that were utterly false. The Windom papers printed these reports without attempt to discover on what sort of foundation they rested. The facts are that began our preperations for the con test the same week Windom said she would begin that each of our contes tants then began and finally pre sented a piece to which he had not before given any study whatever that absolutely all the drill Was given by the High School teachers (so far as we can discover not one of our pu pils even made an attempt to get out side drill) that the marks of the judge to whom some objection has since been made do not differ materially from those given by ether judges, and do not favor Worthington as much as do the marjts of other judges. At the opening of the progr: at Windom Supt. Rhodes nut foi\ii these facts in a brief address in which he deprecat ed the falsity and malice of the rumors encouraged by some of the Windom people. The Win dom papers also have promised to to present the facts in a true light in their next issues. At the joint contest held at Win dom in the oratorical classjJet Small wood wen first, Fred Tripp second place in the dramatic Bdna Good rich first and Ruth Macomber (Win dom) second in the humerous Frances Clark first and Rueben Oaks thus we made a stronger showing before the W indom audience than at the home contest, securing three firsts and two secopds. In determining final honors the re cords from the two joint contests were combined the first in each class re ceived a beautiful gold medal. In the oratorical section first place went to Jet Smallwood, second to Fred Tripp. In the humerous first fell to Frances Clark, second to Rueben Oaks. In the dramatic Florence if ax well and Ruth Macomberiied en ranks recourse was then had tostand :ings, as had bden agreed when p|pns or the contest were first made, and the sum of the-standing of Ruth Ma comber was found to be larger than that for Florence Maxwell by just one unit, thus first in dramatic belonged to Ruth Macomber (Windom) and second to Florence Maxwell. In tfajs ipiy'the fihal result to Worthington is two firsts andthreeseoonds. Worthington wentup to the con test forty strong, mainly scholars but including quite a uumber of the older friends o^ the contestants, a company brimming over with fun to th last member. A delegation of the Windom high School met us at the depot and took every pains to make our stay enjoyable. At the schoolhouse we found them already making elaborate preparations for the pleasant reception given us after the contest. Windom is a very success ful hostess and our stay was made pleasant.
