PAGE TWO DOESN’T MAKE A HIT WITH EVERYBODY pfeMi JI fj THE PRACTICE JJz ? SCHOOLS D®W CATHERINE WINTERS . IFOUNDJITH MAN Posse in Arkansas Capture Al leged Kidnaper. POSITIVE OF HER IDENTITY Prisoner Asserts That He Married the Divorced Wife of Girl's Father— Doctor Starts for Hunts ville to Get Child. Huntsville, Ark., Feb. 23. —Catherine Winters, ten years old, daughter of Dr. W. A. Winters of Newcastle, Ind., who disappeared March 20 last and who since has been the object of a nation-wide search, has been found. In the custody of a man of fifty, who gave his name as George Stuart, the little Hoosier girl was found by a posse at three o’clock in the morning three miles northeast of Huntsville, in the heart of a range of mountains. The man himself confessed to the identity of the girl, but laVer said she is his own daughter. He is in jail at Huntsville. Sheriff H. M. Shuster of Huntsville declares there is no doubt as to the child’s identity. The girl, according to the sheriff, says her name is Catherine Winters and that she formerly lived in a town in Indiana, the name of which she can not remember. Disconnectedly she tells of a trip in an automobile and later a journey in a wagon. Says Girl Belongs to Him. “She’s mine. I did not steal her. Catherine Winters is her name all right, but she is my own daughter and I wanted her.” This was the declaration of Edward Stuart, captured near this little moun tain town and now cooped in a little cell in the Madison county jail, charged with the abduction of Cath erine Winters, the ten-year-old daugh ter of Dr. W. A. Winters of Newcastle, Ind., who disappeared March 20, last. “Papa did not steal me. The man who took me away rode in an auto mobile and then we just rode.” This was the story of little Cath erine, for whom a search has been in progress for months that exceeded all efforts to solve the whereabouts of Charley Ross in 1874. “My name ain’t Catherine; it’s Lucy,” lisped the child as she clung to Sheriff S. M. Shuster, a typical mountaineer sheriff. Stuart reiterated that he is the fa ther of the girl. He says the mother of the girl died of an operation and that the child was placed in an orphan age from which place he secured her. Stuart says his wife and mother of the girl was formerly the wife of Doc tor Winters. Stuart has little to say. As he paces his small cell in the county jail he is the picture of misery and despair. He declares that he was en route back to Indiana when he was overtaken, for what purpose he declines to state. He insists that he has violated no law as he is the real father of the child. Doctor Winters Starts South. Newcastle, Ind., Feb. 23. —Dr. Wil liam A. Winters was joyful upon re ceiving the details of the capture of the kidnaper of his long-lost daugh ter in Arkansas. “From the descrip tion there can be no doubt but that she is my child,” declared the father. He left today for Arkansas. Joseph T. Talbert Better. New York, Feb. 23.—The condition of Joseph T.

Secretary Delivers Speech at Wash ington Birthday Banquet Held » at Peoria, 111. Peoria, 111., Feb. 23. —Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels intimated that the Wilson administration would continue its “hands off” policy in re gard to Mexico. The secretary said he realized there were some who condemned the Taft administration and criticized the Wil son administration for this attitude, but he said it was the policy which would have been adopted by George Washington in following out his admo nition to beware of foreign alliances. The secretary frankly stated his dis like of the procedure which brought us the Philippines and claimed that each Filipino had cost Uncle Sam “so much per head.” Mr. Daniels was speaking at the six teenth annual Washington birthday banquet of the Creve Coeur club. One thousand persons were present, includ ing Democrats, Republicans and Pro gressives, the organization being a non partisan one. Men prominent in busi ness in all parts of the nation were present;, there were dozens of railroad officials, among whom were scattered six or eight railroad presidents. Statesmen, capitalists and politicians of high degree journeyed here in pri vate cars to respond in person to the club’s invitation. R. S. Wallace, president of the club, presided, and there was a humorous speech by Patrick Francis Murphy of New York, who was followed by Secre tary Daniels; then Francis S. Hutch ins, a New'York attorney, spoke on “The Younger Generation,” and was followed by Representative Carter Glass of Virginia, who spoke briefly of the new currency law which he helped to frame. James E. Watson, former congressman from Indiana, was an other speaker. JOHN D. MUST PAY TAX Ohio Officials Say Change in Law Does Not Begin This Year and Rockefeller Must Submit.

GRANT COUNTY HERALD, LANCASTER, WISCONSIN, FEBRUARY 18. 1914 TRIBUTE TO A PIONEER MOTHER OF GRANT COUNTY Beetown’s Oldest Inhabitant. Mrs. Washington M. Garner. Mary Ann, eldest child of Matthew and Ann Edwards, was born in Miner al Point, Wis., the first child of white parentage born there, September 22, 1832. She came two years later to Beetown, Grant County, her parents being among the very earliest settlers of the village. They immediately opened a boarding house for the many seekers after wealth who came flock ing to the newly discovered lead mines of southwestern Wisconsin. Later this “way-side inn” became widely known for its hospitable entertainment —and its gilded sign—Beetown House, with the golden bees fluttering about the hive, was a land mark for more than half a century. November 1, 1849, Mary Ann was married to Washington M. Garner. Ten children were born to their union. The happy couple enjoyed the blessing of seeing all of them reach maturity. Lutie, the baby of the family, a fair maiden, and the husband and father all preceded the mother to the great beyond. William of Bloomington, Elizabeth, Mrs. Cart Hickok and Julia, Mrs. Charles Wood house of Dos Palos, California, Ida, Mrs. Richard Pascoe, Toay and Chris, Beetown, and Clara, Mrs. Wm. Flick ner of Cassiville live to mourn a good mother. With them survive twenty four grand-children, eight great grand children, two sisters and one brother, 1 Mrs. Louisa F. Rogers, Mrs. Julia Mc- Coy and Matt Edwards, Sr., all of Lancaster, a host of other relatives and many friends. At 2:30 a. m. January 29, 1914, after a brief illness, Mrs. Garner entered peacefully into the eternal rest, from the home in which nearly all the chil-1 dren were born, and where most of the years of her long and useful life had been spent. She loved that old home, it was to. her a hallowed spot. Mr. and Mrs. I Garner had a wide acquaintance, they ( were for many years proprietors of the village hotel and for some years . kept a boarding house at the Black-1 Jack Mine. In fact they always kept open house, hospitality, good cheer and a marked friendliness of demean or were characteristic of both. After Mr. Garner’s demise in the winter of 1899, the loyal children would gladly have lifted from the beloved mother’s shoulders all burdens. She had labor ed long and with wonderful fortitude and uncomplaining submission had taken the bitter of life with its sweets. There were good homes in which she was always a welcome member. She was happy to be with her children for a time, but her heart always turned to the old home. She could not be persuaded to sever all its tender ties. To her it was the dearest spot on earth, every nook and corner fraught with golden links of memory. And so they did not urge her, she was well provided for. Miss Kite Klinger one of the village teachers was with her for companionship. Cozily and happy they kept house together. In the old habitation, amid the familiar surroundings of four score years, a long, long time. She passed gently away, only one wish ungratified, the longing desire to see once again the far-away daughters, her “Lizzie” and “Julia.” The other children, except Chris, ■who had left her but a little before, were at her bed-side -when the spirit fled. Also the son George’s wife who was to her as one of her own loved daughters will miss the silvered head from the window, the pleasant greet ing from the kind old lips, the clasp of the friendly hand. Another old Beetown home henceforth but a mem ory. To many a memory fragrant w r ith neighborly kindness and helpful deeds. Some one had beautifully said —It is no wonder the grandest harps are tuned to sing of “Home, Sweet Home.” No songs are sweeter than those heard among the boughs that shade our par ents’ dwelling when some evening hour found us gay as the birds that warbled over us. We may wonder away and mingle with the world’s strife, form new associations and fan cy we have forgotten the home of our birth, but around it there is woven a spell the influence of which neither time nor change can break. We may find climes as beautiful, may hap friends as dear, but they cannot usurp the place of our child-hood’s home. The esteem in which Mrs. Garner was held was manifested by the large concourse of people who gathered ac the funeral. The village church could not hold them. There were many beautiful floral tributes. Rev. J. A. Jamison conducted services. Six grand-sons were pall-bearers. In the Beetown burying ground where rests many loved ones “gone before,” our venerable friend now “sleeps the sleep that knows no waking.” And with her face no longer in sight old Beetown won’t be quite the same any more. “Ah, when for me the day is done, and falls the twilight hush, And from each sapphire peak dissolves the sunset’s lingering flush— When on by one the slow stars kindle in night’s shadowy dome, Then from my life’s long wanderings may evening bring me home.” B. D. S. For the much kindness bestowed in her illness, the respect attributed to her memory, and the sympathy mani fested in their sorrow, the children of the late Mrs. Mary A. Garner are pro foundly thankful. TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF MRS. SIDONIA SALIS. Sidonia Lachner was born in Grusch Canton Graubunden, Switzerland, Mar. 27, ISOS. Was married to Jacob Salis in year of 1864. Came to America the following year settling in New York City, where she remained one year. From thence they came to Dubuque, lowa, where they lived another year. They then moved to Grant County, Wisconsin, where Mrs. Salis continu ously lived until called to the home “over there” February 3, 1914. She was the mother of nine children. In infancy two were laid to rest in the peaceful little “city of the dead” near Hurricane where now sleeps the moth er. She is survived by two sons and five daughters: Mrs. J. B. Lukens, of Seattle, Wash., Mrs. J. Kilburg, Lan- caster, Albert D, of Potosi, Mrs. J. H. Wise, Coster, Mont., Mrs. J. Joice, Bee town, Henry E., «Burton, and Mrs J. C. Marlow, Monroe, Wis. with their aged father and nineteen grand-child ren. She was baptized and united with the Presbyterian church when only a child, and remained all ber life a firm believer in that faith and a humble follower of the Master. As friend and neighbor she was respected and be loved. In time of sickness or distress she was ever ready with greetingaoao she was ever ready with cheering words and helpful hands. She was passionately fond of flowers. And al ways in season her garden was abloom Many a child has been made happy by the bestowal of “Grandma Salis” flowers. And a beautiful tribute was paid to her memory by the choice and fragrant offerings that covered her casket. The final summons came very suddenly to the good woman. She had been a visitor for some weeks in the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Eversoll, Burton. They were old time friends and neighbors. She had been cheerfully helping Mrs. Eversoll about the lighter house-work, had made no complaint of illness, had partaken of supper and at her usual hour retired. At eleven o’clock Mr. Eversoll who had been up late reading heard an unusual noise. Arousing his wife they hastened to the room of Mrs. Salis. They found her partly risen and strug gling for breath. Placing one hand over her heart, she gave them one look of intelligence, and suddenly ceased to breathe. It was known that she had a weakness of the heart. She herself was aware of her danger, and had expressed a desire that her pass ing would be swift. But the sudden call brought great shock and sorrow to her children. While they grieve naturally that none were near to re ceive the last look of love from “Mother” they are thankful that she breathed her last among friends so kind and dear as the Eversolls, who rendered all assistance that could be given. The suddenness of the demise was like-wise a severe shock to the com munity, where Mrs. Salis had long re sided and been held in high esteem. Though advanced in years she was in possession of full faculties, and re tained the bright intelligence and pleasing personality that made her an entertaining and cheerful companion. The sorrow for the loss and the univer sal sympathy for the bereaved family was manifested by the attendance at the funeral which was conducted by Rev. Wm. Harberts at the Presby terian church near the place of inter ment. The consoling discourse was from the text, “Take ye heed; watch and pray; for ye know not when the time is.” The choir sang, “Rock of Ages;” “Safe in The Arms of Jesus,” “Nearer My God to Thee,” favorite hymns of the deceased. All the chil dren were present at the last sad rites except the eldest daughter, Mrs. Lukens. For the many kindnesses and much sympathy bestowed in their hour of sorrow, the children are sincerely grateful. .‘‘Good-night dear heart, good-night. Nay let our weeping cease— When morning breaks where cloudless light Bathes the fair hills of peace. Close the dear, patient eyes; Why mourn their fading light? Her vision sweeps celestial skies, Where there is not more night.” B. D. S. Nautical Note. The Sea of Matrimony is filled with Hardships.—Lippincott’s. STOWRRH! Unless Properly Treated With Hyomei This Disease May Become Serious. If you have catarrh, indicated by sniffing, stopped up bead, droppings in the throat and morning choking, there is an irritated state of the mucous membrane which affords an ideal condition for the growth of disease germs to begin the destruction of your health. The easiest, simplest, quickest, surest and cheapest way to check catarrh is by breathing Hyomei. This wonderful medicated air treatment does not use the stomach, but is breathed in through the Hyomei in haler, directly following and surely destroying all disease germs that may have been inhaled—the tissues of the throat, nose and lungs are quickly healed and vitalized. Money refunded by J. T. Bennett to anyone whom Hyomei fails to benefit. A complete outfit costs but SI.OO. —Adv. Residence for Sale. The property on 2nd St. in Platte ville known as the Geo. C.
