NANCY A. BLACK
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Black
was born in Burrell township, Decatur
county, March 1,1871, and died Oct.
30,1900, aged 29 years and 8 months.
She was united in marriage with Wm.
Lloyd, March 30, 1897. Iier husband
and an infant son three days old still
survive her as well as her father and
mother, one sister and two brothers and
a wide circle of relatives, friends and
young associates who feel very keenly
her loss. It iB said death ever claims a
shining mark, in this case how true.
Tne circumstances surrounding her
death is particulary sad being it is said
the tirst of the kind eyer occurring in
our county, yet all that medical aid
could do was done and it of the best
physicians our county afforded were in
attendance from the first yet all was of
no avail, and death has claimed his own
and we can only say to those sorrowing
friends, God knows best. His will be
done, and while we bow in humble sub
mission to the chastening hand of our
heavenly father, let us look up. We
know she has gone to rest for her short
life was ever one of goodness and char
ity to all, striving to do good to others
and to make home happy. Rest assur
ed that kindness and cheerfulness await
her in our Heayenly Father's mansion.
May the sorrow stricken friends, though
left for a time to their sorrow and feel
so keenly and sadly her loss, by God's
love be comforted and he,"

STATE AUTHORITY
To be Exercised Over County Asy
lums for the Insane.
The state board of control will begin
work immediately, says the Des Moines
Register, upon the formulation of rules
and regulations governing county insti
tutes in which insane persons are main
tained. The last legislature passed a
measure giving tbe board the power to
make rules and regulations, and to en
force, them, their violation being suffi
cient to give the board power to remove
the patients in the county institutions
to the state hospitals, provided, how
ever, that the matter could be taken to
the courts by interested persons and
there adjudicated.
A systematic examination of the
county aBylums has been made by the
members of the board. This work has
just been completed. The information
obtained will be classified and tbe
work of making the rules undertaken
this week. The work may consume con
siderable time. The board anticipates
no particular difiiculty in inducing the
county managements to conform to
their recommendation. It is learned
incidentiallv, that the principal com
plaint against the county institutions as
they are managed now, is tbe paucitv
of attendants. More attendants wifl
cost more in salaries. A move in this
direction will work both ways. The
counties largely took patients from tbe
state hospitals to save money the hir
ing of new attendants will inciease the
expenditure on account of the county
insane but it will afford more salaried
places.

E AMERICAN PETROLEUM PRODUCT CO.
Office and Refinery, Findlay, Ohio,
EN ROUTE,
In his own picturespue way Colonel
W a "terson cotrvdi tions which
may be surely counted upon as bound'
to occur as a result of the recent com
plete triumph of the republican party.
As usual the colonel does not mince
words. He says: "As the democrats
are cast down by the result of this elec
tion, so will the republicaLS be elated
and thrown off tbeir guard. They will
fancy they have the world in a sling.
They are certain to proceed to excesses.
They can not restrain their zealotB or
their scamps. All tbe clever rogues of
the times, seeing where the pickings and
stealings lie, have got into the republi
can party. The new territories are
veritable gold mines of pillage. Acts of
outrage can not be repressed or escaped.
The people at home will stand aghast at
the riot of corruption and depotism."
If the prophecy made by Colonel Wat
terson should happen to lack fulfill
ment, then would the most remarkabl
political miracle in the annals of tbe
world have been performed.
Men who, like the editor of, the
Courier-Journal, remember how the re
publican party, when it was in undis
puted possession of all the branches of
the federal government in Grant's time,
was the begetter of a saturnalia of rob
bery, carried on by its carpetbag thieves
who looted the treasuries of the recon
structed governments in the southern
states, can logically believe that a simi
lar crop of crimes will grow out of the
recent successes of tbe same party.
Already, in the first four years of Mr.
McKinley's presidency, we have wit
nessed a repetition in kind of the Whis
ky Ring, the Credit Mobilier and rotten
navy jobs of the days when Zach Chand
ler, Oliver P. Morton, Thad Stevens,
"Smiler" Colfax, "Laundanlet" Wil
liams, Robeson, Babcock and men of
their ilk had charge ot the republican
m(Rhine, by seeing the scandalous job
b$ty and swindling that was exhibited
in the exorbitant prices of unseaworthy
transports by Alger and his coterie, in
the Oberlin M. Carter revelations and in
the Rathbone and Neely defalcations in
Cuba. v,v-
An era of extravagance in public* ex
penditures and of looting and pilfering
by appointees of the administration is
promised, nay, impending during the
next few years which will make some
of the past performances of the repub
lican party in these lines look by com
parison like rigid economy and petty
larceny. Mark tbe prediction.—Kansas

Hood's Sarsaparilla
A Remarkable Family.
Sun.lay's Chicago American contained
the following account of Mr. Herbert
Scott and family, of Navilleton, Ind.
Two of the sons of this sturdy family
reside in this county, W. W. Scott at
Lamoni and Carter Scott at Davis City.
Frank J. Scott, another son, was at one
time auditor of Decatur county.
New Albany, Ind., Nov. 24.—The ven
erable Herbert Scott, Iwho lives at Na
villeton, this county,is proud of the fact
that his family cast more votes for Wil
liam Jennings Bryan at the recent elec
tion than any other one family in the
country.
The family of Mr. Scott and his wife
consists of fifteen children, nine of them
boys and all voters. Therefore with
the vote of the father, the democratic
nominee tor president received ten votes
from this branch of the Scott family
tree.
This family is remarkable in other
ways. In addition to rearing success
fully a family of fifteen children, Mr.
Scott is grateful for the fact that there
has never been a death in the family.
Mr. and Mrs. Scott have, in addition to
this, reared to young manhood and
womanhood four orphans.
Mr. and Mrs. Scott celebrated recent
ly the fiftieth anniversary of their wed
ding and their fifteen children were
present to help along ihe festivities.
This occasion was one which attracted
attention all over Indiana. The story
of tbe successful rearing of such a large
family caused great interest, but, in ad
dition, Mr. ficott is one of ten brothers,
each one of which has reared large fami
lies. All the relatives were present on
the day the anniversary was celebrated,
and no less than sixty members of the
Scott family stood together after dinner
and were photographed,
The members of Herbert Scott's own
family, seventeen in number, including
the parents, were then photographed,
as shown in the accompanying picture.
There were represented at the gathering
four generations of this family. That
the members down to the fourth gener.
ation bad never been oalled upon to
mourn a death is probably the most re
markable of all the features connected
with the family.
Until they gathered to celebrate tbe
anniversary of their parents' wedding
all the brothers and sisters had neyer
met togethei under the family roof tree
at tlie same time.
The children are as follows: Frank J.
Scott, who was formerly auditor of one
of the latgest counties in Iowaj Profes
sor Samuel Scott, superintendent of
schools of Clark count}, Ind. Professor
JobxR. Scott, an instructor at the In
diana Reformatory William Scott, a
lawyer Carter Scott, an Iowa merchant
infield, Daniel, Voorhees, Kenor and
Glen Scott complete the list of boys.
The daughters are Mrs. Jennie Bell,
Indianapolis, Mrs. Melvina Mason, Mrs.
Emma Sample and Misses Eliza, Lizzie
and Eva Scott, Two of the children
have grandchildren.
Herbert Scott's father, now long since
dead, came from Virginia in tbe early
part of the century, settling in Floyd
county. He was a power in this locali
ty and was looked upon as one of the
leading men of early Indiana. His
progeny is of the same sturdy stock.
All of them are religiously inclined,
most of them being followers of Alexan
der. Campbell and members of the
Christian church.
For years the Scott families have been
a dominant factor in local politics. So
numerous is the relationship that when
one of the name comes out as a candi
date for a county office, their opponents
usually see the handwriting on the wall
and withdraw.

efforts of those of their boys who have

WorkB for thirty more new freight en
gines, to be delivered next March.
They will be alike in construction, each
haying three pairs of drivers and a set
of leading and trailing trucks. Tbe
driving wheels will measure sixty-four
inches in diameter and tbe truck wheel
thirty-seven incbe? in diameter. The
dimensions of the cylinders will be 24x24
inches. The engines will differ from the
ayerage freight train puller in having
wider and shorter fireboxes. The fire
boxes will be 7 feet long and 6 feet wide,
and their heating surface, combined
with that of the tubes, will be about
2,498 square feet. Tbe weight of each
engine on its drivers will be 120,000
pounds. The leading trucks will weigh.
16,000 pounds and the .trailing trucks
24,000 pounds. Unloaded, each tender
will weigh about 38,000 pounds. It will
have a capacity of 5,000 gallons of water

NEBRASKA tl
rf )t\ Ittyt
I-wonder why it is that so many men
spent their days working hard on rent
ed farms, barely making enough to get
alqng, with no great prospect ahead of
owning their own homes, when within a
few hour journey is a land of plenty
Nebraska—where all kinds of grain and
fruit can be raised with the least
amount of labor where cattle and hoga.
fed on corn bring a handsome profit
where the climate is healthful and
churches and schools abound where
land is cheap and can be bought on
very easy terms.
Think of this, and if you want infor-'
mation about the country send to me for
"The Corn Belt," a beautifully iilus
trated monthly paper that tells all
about Nebraska, and also for "The
West Nebraska Grassing Country" an
interesting illustrated booklet contain
ng large sectional map of Nebraska.
April 1«) Its paid advertising reached
?!18.J1'S5..water»ffiSrlt in that journaFS history.
The Chicago Tribune on that same day. last
Sunday. April 16, printed not only more adver
tising than the New York Herald, but What la
believed to be the greatest amount ever printed
in a single issue of any regular main edition
a newspaper. Leaving out of account the twen
ty-two columns of iSverUsln* printed by the
New York Herald on that day in the special seer
tlon devoted to the Interests of Brooklyn ana
New Jersey and appearing only in those editions.
the record at The Tribune JOT April 16 sur
passed that of the Herald for the qame day by
more than 10,000 agate lines of paid advertising.
Even allowing the Herald ail It claims. lnclud-^\
Ins its Brooklyn and New Jersey supplements,
the New York Herald on that day still fell shoct
of The Tribune by more than 1,000 Unes In
the actual amount of paid advertising.
.The exact figures are art van as folTowa: Tbe
New York Herald of April IS printed In Its mMn
edition, exclusive of its Brooklyn mid Hew Jer
aey supplements, 77,823 agate lines-of advertise
ments. Including those supplements It claitns
§8,TO0. "The Chicago Tribune '^printed that
day 88.480 uate Unas of paid advertisements.
The comparison should be made Inllnes of ante
measure, because the columns of The Trib
une
while thi
llnet
.are longer and contain 305'agate ltnM.
lose.of the New York Herald contain ewy
—les of agate each.
For the four Sundays ending April lfl. h»
number of columns of advertisements In the New
York Herald, according to its own claims and
including its Brooklyn and New Jersey special
tual paid advertisements. These,- reduced
agate lines, give the New York. Herald 807.S
lines and The Tribune 880.781 lines. In
Tribune there were printed In that per
23.883 more agate lines than in the New r"
Herald. This excess was equal to eight!
columns of the size of those of the NOT
Herald. Therefore the New York Heraldj
an average of 20.25 columns .less eacb
than ne Chicago Tribune."
