1851                      GOLDEN WEDDING                      1901
               OF MR. AND MRS. Wm. P. WATSON
                                  January 4, 1901.

The cycle of Time is rolling on,
It brings your golden wedding morn,
And like the sun that shines in gold,
Fifty years have onward rolled.

Amid the changing scenes of life,
Fifty years of married life,
Good deeds that never can be told,
As fifty years have onward rolled.

You have stood beside the little grave,
Heard sweet music and songs of praise:
You have tenderly laid your loved one down --
He is waiting in heaven, with a golden crown.

Amid the flowers of green and gold,
Fifty years of married life unfolds;
Like golden sunshine and stars of night,
Onward rolled your golden wedding night.

Fifty years ago, one bright, clear day,
So young, so fair, so bright and gay,
A marriage feast, a ring of gold,
And fifty years have onward rolled.

Sometimes the hills you'd start to climb;
Sometimes you heard silvery chimes;
Sometimes the sunshine glistened bright,
As onward rolled your golden wedding night.

Again we hear the words of prayer;
The man of God is standing there;
Again a marriage feast, a ring of gold,
And fifty years have onward rolled.

Like the sun that set in western sky,
Flowers blooming, we know not why;
Like the flowers that now unfold,
You shall walk the streets of shining gold.

And so, amid the glint of sheen and gold,
Cycles of time have onward rolled;
Generations pass away,
And brings your golden wedding day.

Like shining golden sheaves of wheat,
Strains of music, soft and sweet,
Closing days are rolling on,
You shall live beyond God's rising sun.

No night, no day, no setting sun,
No tears, no sorrow there shall come;
Reward you shall then be given,
To die and live with God in heaven.

Life's shadows then shall fade away,
Sunshine change to eternal day;
Life's mystery you shall understand,
When you are called to God's Beulah Land.

I lay this token at your feet,
Asking God to guard and keep
Until life's curtain is rung down,
You both shall wear God's golden crown.

The stars in heaven are shining bright
On this your golden wedding night;
A clasp of hand, a word of prayer,
God keep you in his tender care.

GOLDEN WEDDING GLEE
(Tune, "America.")

Loved ones, we sing to thee,
This joyous merry glee,
     With hearty cheer,
Come join us one and all,
Let notes of music fall,
Till echoes burst through wall.
     To hillside near.

Children and friends, all sing,
Let this old ceiling ring,
     With "auld lang syne."
May all they days shine clear,
Undimm'd by sigh or tear.
Success crown thee each year,
     Long life be thine.

King tributes we bestow,
And fond hearts overflow,
     With wishes bright,
Long may thy bark yet sail,
Shelter's from storm and gale,
And may thy friends ne'er fail,
     When falls the night.

IN MEMORY OF DAISY CAMPBELL

One voice is silent around the evening fire,
One form comes not to cheer us with its gladness;
There brothers and sisters mingle with mother and sire,
But tongues are mute and hearts are chilled with sadness.

Thoughts dwell on past communion unforgot,
One voice is silent, we hear it not,
The loved form no more is sitting there,
Those lips move with cheering words no more;

Death's hand has thrown a strange light on the brow,
One voice is silent, it pleads not now.
Which she has pressed in winter time and spring;
No words of comfort shall come again,

No troublesome thought that gentle bosom wring,
The shrouded eye hath parted with its tears;
One voice is silent, one we loved so dear,
One voice is silent; aye, no more that tone;

Father and mother, brothers, sisters, o'er our pleasant home is stealing.
Our darling Daisy's life is done and we are alone,
But oh, remember, in this pang of feeling,
How dear the hope that God to us has given,

One voice is silent here but wakes in heaven,
In heaven's flower garden, above.
Sweet little Daisy buds and blossoms into an angel of love;
Her angel baby brother meets her at the pearly gates,
An at God's throne together for the loved ones they wait.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN HORATIO COOKE

     Captain Horatio Cooke, brother of Mrs. Middleton and uncle of Mrs. C.R. Bone, died in Portland, Feb. 10, 1901, aged 74. Deceased came to Oregon in 1852.
     He engaged in the undertaking business and manufactured coffins in the early days, and he conducted an establishment until two years ago, when rheumatism and other troubles compelled his retirement. Captain Cooke was known as a generous hearted man, and it was said of him that in cases of death where a family was unable to pay the burial expenses, he marked the charges in his credit book and let them stand until someone was able to pay them. He never attempted to collect such bills, and very often the debtors failed to pay him, so his losses were rather heavy. Captain Cooke was for several years captain of the old Washington Guard, the crack organization of the Northwest. He was also an active member of the old Columbia No. 3 Volunteer Fire Engine Company, and was always seen on the line when the heavy Amoskeog apparatus, in response to an alarm, was hauled to a fire by the sturdy young and old volunteers. Captain Cooke leaves a wife, who is in failing health; a daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Andrews, of Portland; another living in Dalton, Cal., and a third, Mrs. Alice Walker of New York City. He also leads two brothers, J.W. and Vincent Cooke, and a sister, Mrs. Middleton and Mrs. Dr. Thompson, all of Portland.

GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

     One of the happiest and most charming social events of this season was the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ellis, celebrated at Masonic hall, last Saturday evening, Feb. 16, 1901. Upon this occasion a reception in honor of the happy and aged couple was tendered by the Masonic and Eastern Star lodges of Hood River. E.E Savage was master of ceremonies and gave an appropriate address in honor of the delighted couple, who had just completed their fiftieth year of married life. Other exercises in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis were recitations by the Misses Nellie Rogers and Flossie Phelps, solos by Mrs. A.A. Jayne and J.R. Nickelsen, and presentation speeches by E.E Savage and C. J. Hayes. The relatives and numerous friends of the guests friends of the guests of honor, in token of their love and esteem, presented to them a sum of gold coin, a gilded bone cutter, and a bright, elegant rocker. The latter article of comfort and usefulness was presented to Mrs. Ellis in a beautiful and impressive address by C. J. Hayes.
     The Rev. J. L. Hershner had been invited to perform the golden wedding ceremony. To the strains of a wedding march executed by Dr. Brosius, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, with the Hon. and Mrs. E.L. Smith as groomsman and bridesmaid, marched to the platform at the rear end of the hall, where the officiating minister with appropriate words re-betrothed the pair to the marriage vows so happily entered upon 50 years ago, almost to the very hour, concluding the ceremony by invoking the blessing of God upon them.
     A marked coincidence in felicitous event was, that Mr. and Mrs. Ellis and Mr. and Mrs. E.L. Smith procured their licenses of marriage at the same court house, namely: at Woodstock, McHenry county, Illinois; the former 50 years ago, the latter 40 years ago.
     The events of the evening were the addresses by Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, in which, with feeling and appreciative words, they recounted the joys and successes of their married life and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to their many friends who had thus honored them. The one sustaining strain in each address was that it pays to live up to the principles of a sincere Christian life.
     A long table groaning under the weight of good things prepared by the ladies of the Eastern Star, was twice filled, and all did ample justice to the feast of honor, the feature of which was the beautiful and elegantly lettered bride's cake, which was skillfully cut by the one who was the center of attraction, the bride.
     Wm. Ellis was born at Summersetshire, England, March 20, 1829. His parents came to America in 1831, settling in New York. In 1838 they removed to Illinois. Mr. Ellis is now 72 years of age and still enjoys good health.
     Amanda Heath Ellis was born in Dec. 1, 1834, in New York state, and is now 67 years old, and also has the best of health. They were married at Marengo, McHenry county, Ills., Feb. 16, 1851, Rev. Mr. Lindsay, Baptist minister, officiating. Since their marriage, their home has been in Illinois and Wisconsin, until 11 years ago, when they came to Oregon, since which time they have been a highly respected residents of Hood River valley. In 1874 Mr. Ellis was made a Mason at Arcadia, Wisconsin, since which time he has faithfully lived up to the tenants of that order. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ellis are sincere Christian people, the former having been connected with the M.E. church, the latter with the Presbyterian.
     To this long marriage union there were born 13 children, 9 of whom lived to grown manhood and womanhood. Those living are Ralph J. Ellis and Cynthia E. Jones, Hood River; Adaline C. Bangle, Augusta, Wis.; Frank W. Ellis, Weiser, Idaho; Willie F. Ellis, Belvidere, Ills.; Almaretta J. Robinson, Spink county, Dak.; Clara L. Jones, Oberon, Dak., and Robert L. Ellis, Eau Claire, Wis.

DEATH OF DANIEL H. CLOUGH

     The community was shocked last Sunday upon learning of the sudden death of Daniel H. Clough, who dropped dead of heart disease while walking in the orchard of his son-in-law, A.O. Hershey, Sunday, at 1 o'clock. Mr. Clough had not been well for several days, but there were no symptoms to excite alarm, and when death came it was entirely unexpected.

He received final honorable discharge from his country's service at Cleveland, Ohio, July 25, 1865.
     Mr. Clough was united in marriage with Jane A. Hull, December 31, 1870, at Vermilion, South Dakota. They moved from the place of their marriage to Kansas, where they resided several years, coming to Clackamas county, Oregon, in 1876. In 1892 they came to Hood River, residing here since then.
     The sympathy of a large circle of neighbors and friends goes out to the surviving widow and only child, Mrs. Eva J. Hershey. Mr. Clough's life was especially characterized by such as sterling qualities as energy and industry, rugged honesty and unquestioned integrity, and the influences of these noble qualities of life abide to enrich the community in which he lived.
     Funeral services were held at the home of his son-in-law, A.O. Hershey, on Tuesday, at 10 a.m.. Rev. J. L. Hershner spoke words of comfort and hope. Canby Post, No. 16, G.A.R., of which deceased was an honored member, conducted the burial service in Idlewilde cemetery.

OBITUARY

     Milton Oliver Wheeler was born in the state of Massachusetts, December 15, 1828, and died at Hood River, Wasco county, Oregon, at the residence of W. R. Winans, March 4, 1901, of rheumatism of the heart, aged 72 years, 2 months and 17 days. He was the father of Mrs. Mary Winans, wife of W. R. Winans, who is the only member of his family in this part of the country; the other members living in Iowa and Missouri. He lived an energetic, active life; helped to build many of the stone arches and walls used in the construction of the Eastern railway bridges, being a skillful stone cutter and having charge as foreman, and was always found at the front, where it took push and energy to win. And these works and many others stand today as lasting monuments to the work of his hands. He pioneered the way in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri, when these states were new, coming to Oregon in March, 1887, joining the Winans colony at Hood River, and has now gone on ahead to the reward of his life's work.
     The funeral services were conducted, March 6, at the residence of W. R. Winans, also at the grave, by Rev. J. L. Hershner, assisted by Rev. Taggart, whose touching prayers and kind words of tribute were a lasting solace to the sorrowing relatives and friends gathered there to bid a last farewell.

Then tenderly we laid him down to rest,
Singing sad songs by his silent grave;
Praying to Him who, knowing best,
Has the only loving power to save.
Now we hold a golden anchor by a crystal chain of tears,
Across death's mystic river, while we bide the passing years,
When we hail the silent boatman as he sails across the tide,
To bear us to our loved ones waiting on the other side,
When we know that our beloved ones watch and wait for us to come,
It will ease the pain of dying when we know we're going home,
We fulfill the law of nature while we're passing, one by one,
And should bow in meek submission to Thy will, not mine, be done.

W.R. WINANS.

"Died"

     In Hood River Valley, March 17, 1901, Mrs. W. C. Sproat.
     The sorrowing relatives and sympathizing neighbors assembled on Tuesday last to pay their last affectionate tribute to Mrs. W. C. Sproat, who died on last Sunday morning, March 17th, of congestion of the lungs, following an attack of the grip. Her illness was brief and her death came as a sudden blow to their grief stricken husband and children. Deceased was born in Herkimer county, New York, nearly 71 years ago, coming west with her parents before the era of railroads and settling in Wisconsin when that state was still a wilderness, later moving to northern Minnesota, enduring the severe cold of that climate for 20 years and last September settling with her family in the genial Hood River valley, finally anticipating a further lease of life in this fruitful vale.
     She was a home woman in every sense of the word, her husband and her children ever being uppermost in her mind. Self denial, self sacrifice and a rigid fulfillment of her sense of duty and morality were her cardinal principle. She early in life united with the Methodist church and died in the fullness of Christian faith.

"Died"

     Ivan Frederick, son of G.D. and Sadie M. Eatinger. Born May 22, 1899; transplanted March 18, 1901.
     There are times when one almost questions the goodness of God. A dear little one comes into the home and entwines itself around parental hearts, and by its sweetness and beauty makes friends with all with whom it comes in contact. Ivan was a sweet little boy, with an intelligence far in advance of his years. Being a twin, his mate, little Inez, constantly asks for "Iva" and looks for his coming. Kind friends came forward and did all in their power to lighten the burden of the grief-stricken parents. A beautiful and impressive service was held Sunday at the Belmont church, the Sunday school and Junior League helping greatly. The remains were laid tenderly to rest in Idlewilde, and another voice is singing "How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior," that being his favorite hymn. Two homes are lonely for our little sweetheart.

"And sigh for the touch of a vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still."

TRAGEDY AT UNDERWOOD LANDING

     A cowardly murder occurred at Underwood Landing, Wash., opposite Hood River, Saturday night, March 23rd. Edson Benjamin of Hood River was shot and instantly killed by someone who fired through the window. The tragedy took place at Wm. Wendorf's house, 1½ miles from Underwood. Benjamin was in the employ of Nicolai & Cameron as foreman of their logging camp. The camp was preparing to move to a new location above the falls of the White Salmon, and a dance was given as a farewell party to the loggers by their friends in the neighborhood. The dance was held in Wendorf's barn and the supper was given in the residence. At the third table was seated Edson Benjamin, L.W. Jones, Wm. Wendorf, Mrs. Harry Olsen and Mrs. Nellie Brown. Mrs. Brown had been waiting upon the tables and had just sat down alongside Benjamin and was serving coffee when a shot was fired through the window, striking Benjamin in the head and passing through, a part of the ball struck Mrs. Brown on the shoulder. Benjamin fell to the floor and expired without a word. Mrs. Brown's injury was slight. L. W. Jones immediately went to the barn, were dancing had been resumed, and informed the dancers of the shooting. The men all turned out and hunted for the assassin but he could not be found. Suspicion immediately rested upon a logger named Jim Green, who had had some trouble with Benjamin and threatened his life. Green was in love with a woman who recently rejected his advances and it is supposed to this caused him to become intensely jealous. Edson Benjamin moved from The Dalles to Hood River about two years ago, and about one year ago bought the Dan Smith place on the East Side. He was a man well spoken of by all who knew him. He leaves a widow. His age was about 38, and he was a native of Illinois. The A.O.U.W. lodge of The Dalles, of which he was a member, took charge of the funeral and he was buried at The Dalles Tuesday.
     The coroner came up from Stevenson Sunday, and we understand the jury found a verdict in accordance with the above facts and charged Green as being the murderer.
     Sheriff Totten came up from Stevenson Sunday and with deputies commenced a search for Green. Green was hid in the woods. Tuesday, as the officers passed his near his hiding place, he came out and gave himself up and confessed to the murder. He was brought to Hood River Tuesday evening and taken to The Dalles, and Wednesday morning was taken to Vancouver, where a special term of court will convene for his trial.

The Hood River Glacier, Hood River, OR., March 29, 1901, page 2

     It is said there are some very badly scared citizens of Underwood after it was learned that Jim Green had killed Benjamin. One young man turned gray in a night. Another, a young man who had loaned Green a gun, fearing arrest as an accomplice, swallowed a big dose of carbolic acid in a quart of cider with suicidal intent. The cider acted as an antidote and as an emetic, and the youth will live to get scared another day. The only person heard of showing any presence of mind during the excitement of the affair was Mrs. Brown, who, after the fatal shot was fired, blew out the lamp so that the assassin could not see into the room to shoot again.

     Antone Guler and Miss Kohler were married recently at Trout Lake.

     John Courtwright, who recently moved with his family from The Dalles to Sherman County, was found dead 8 miles east of The Dalles, last Sunday, with a bullet hole in his head.

MEMORIAL SERVICES BY THE G.A.R.

     The memorial services conducted by Canby Post, G. A. R. and W.R.C., last Saturday, in memory of comrades Benjamin Hull, 33d Iowa; Edwin Gorton, 111th Ohio; A.K. Isenberg, 1st Penn. artillery; and Daniel H. Clough, 9th Ohio battery, was well attended by the Grand Army and the Relief Corps and their friends. Commander T. J. Cunning, in opening the service, spoke as follows:
     "To the friends of our departed comrades I wish to say a few words, not as an apology for inviting them here, but rather as an explanation. The Grand Army of the Republic is an organization of memories, and those memories, interwoven and knit together by association on hundreds of battlefields, have been reunited and strengthened by our neighbors together in behalf of Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty. We have lived long enough to note the growing lack of interest in the desperate struggle to save the Union in which they took a part, and which service makes it possible for the present organization to exist. Our great captains have nearly all passed on, and an aging remnant of that mighty host that brought victory to our banner is all that is left. The words of "The Recessional" seem fitly applicable;

"The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
A broken and a contrite heart,
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest THEY forget, lest THEY forget."

     "There is no danger of us forgetting, and when it comes to parting with a comrade who has been endeared to us by the fellowship of the march, the bivouac, the battle and the longer association of the post room, we realize something of the meaning of the word comrade. The one you mourn was our comrade with all that that word means to us, and you are brought nearer to us on account of your relationship or interest in him. You may be assured that you will always be regarded with tenderest interest by the members of this post, and any assistance will be gladly rendered."
     The impressive memorial services were then conducted by the post. Mrs. A.A. Jayne sang the song, "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground," and the audience joined in the chorus. Feeling remarks in memory of the departed comrades were made by J.W. Rigby, C. J. Hayes, and M.P. Isenberg and E.D. Calkins. Mrs. Jayne then song the song, "The Blue and the Gray." Mrs. F. E. Jackson accompanied Mrs. Jayne's singing on the organ. Mrs. Louise Goddard gave a reading from Sir Edwin Arnold's, "Light of Asia."

MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE

     Stevenson, Wash., April 13. - James G. Green was found guilty of murdering E.V. Benjamin at Wendorf's near Underwood's landing, March 24. The jury returned a verdict of murder in the first degree after delivering 45 minutes. Although the verdict was received in stolid silence by the defendant, he had broken down during the trial and had made an open confession of his crime. A new trial will be asked for. It was the sight of the widow of the murdered Benjamin with her great sorrow, that unnerved Green and caused him to alter his mind as to fighting the cause to the end. After the session of the first day he called his counsel and Judge Miller, and declared that he wanted to trial over as soon as possible, as he was unable to bear the sight of Mrs. Benjamin's grief.
     "I killed Benjamin," said Green, "and should receive the punishment. I want to plead guilty and hang here in Stevenson. Benjamin is dead, but I can't stand the sight of Mrs. Benjamin in the court room."
     This being the desire of the confessed murderer to have the agony of the trial over, the prosecution cut short the testimony to be introduced, and this gave Green an opportunity to take the stand and tell his story. He began by stating that he was 31 years old, and then spoke of his visit to the Hayne's home and his departure from there at 11 o'clock at night for his logging camp.
     "When I came to Wendorf's I saw a light. I looked in through the window and noticed Benjamin sitting there with Nellie Brown, and I raised my gun and shot him. I didn't realize what I had done until I seen him fall back, then I went to Haynes' and told what Mrs. Haynes swore to yesterday. We had emptied a couple of bottles of whiskey. I had one bottle with me, about at drank in it, which I finished on the road. I didn't know there was a dance at Wendorf's place nor the whereabouts of Benjamin. I was told he had moved to a logging camp on the White Salmon, 18 miles away. I had no trouble with Benjamin, nothing serious. We had trouble one time and fixed it up, and shook hands over it, and was as good friends as ever. I have known Nellie Brown for three years. Three months after I first met her we were engaged. This lasted until New Year's of 1901
     Asked if Benjamin was the cause of the breaking of the engagement, Green declined to express himself, stating that he did not desire to make any exposures. When asked what his feelings were toward Nellie Brown, the defendant broke down and cried, replying that he loved the woman better than his life.
     Counsel for the defense argued for a verdict of murder in the second degree, as he said there was no testimony showing the deed to have been premeditated. The prosecution demanded conviction in the first degree or acquittal. It required the jury but 45 minutes to return a verdict of murder in the first degree.
     When he realized that his fate was sealed, Green's desire to be hanged immediately at Stevenson underwent a change, and he requested his attorneys to fight the case as hard as possible, and ask for a new trial. Green has been returned to Vancouver pending the decision on the motion and sentence.

     A terrible tragedy is reported from Vancouver, Wash. Chas. Brown and E.L. Canby, president and cashier of First National Bank of that city, after falsifying the books of the bank for years, were detected in their crookedness by Bank Examiner Maxwell, last Friday. Bad speculation in boom times was the starter for the bank's misfortunes, and these two officials had managed by false entries to keep the bank going since 1893. Depositors will suffer heavy losses. Brown and Canby couldn't face the jury of duped depositors and public opinion, but they had the nerve to kill themselves, and their lifeless bodies were found in the woods near town, with an empty pistol showing that both had suicided with the same weapon.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN DAVIDSON

     Captain Payton S. Davidson, general manager of the Lost Lake lumber company, dropped dead from heart failure at his home early Saturday morning.

The funeral services were held at the family residence Sunday evening, and the body was taken aboard the 8:27 train for interment at LaCrosse, Wis.
     Captain Davidson came to Hood River in March, 1899, and located here one of the largest lumbering concerns in the state, of which firm, the Lost Lake Lumber company, he was general manager and treasurer. Captain Davidson was a man who paid close attention to business all his life, possessed a sterling character, and the loss of his influence as an enterprising business man and citizen will be heavily felt by the community.
     Captain Payton S. Davidson was born September 16, 1827, in South Point, Lawrence county, Ohio. He entered the steamboat business on the Ohio at an early age, and in the 50's was prominently connected with one of the largest through passenger and freight steamboat lines ever operated between New Orleans and St. Paul.

FROM LIFE UNTO DEATH

     Our citizens were shocked the morning of July 17th to learn of the sudden death of John Markley, which occurred at his home at 6 a.m.. He was a man of more than ordinary ability and intelligence; was honored by all who knew him. He was our friend and a friend to humanity. He was liberal and charitable toward all, especially in his religious views. In morals he was exemplary. He loved his wife, children and home; his whole being seemed wrapped up in his home. He detested hypocrisy and deceit in thought, word or deed. He was unselfish, always trying to see how much could he could do for others. Mr. Markley was not a member of any church; he had a belief that was peculiarly his own. His life was his religion. He advocated and practiced charity for all, counting church members among many of his nearest friend. July 18th the burial services were carried out in every detail, as he had often when in health expressed that they should be. The interment was in the family lot in Idlewilde cemetery. While the family deeply mourn their loss, they will still be thankful that they had his love so many years, and that their lives will be made better by reason of such memories will be the prayer of wife and children.

ALFRED INGALLS DROWNED

     Alfred Ingalls, the 21-year-old son of Alfred Ingalls, met death by drowning, Sunday evening, August 4, 1901, while swimming in the John Day river with a threshing crew from Wasco. Word of the accident reached here Monday, and the young man's father left on the noon train for the scene of the drowning. Search was immediately made for the body, but was unsuccessful until Wednesday morning, when after the use of dynamite the body was found floating a quarter mile below where the boy was drowned. The remains were conveyed overland and reached Hood River, Thursday. Funeral arrangements have not been made yet.
     How the accident really happened no one seems to know. The threshing crew were bathing in water not deep enough for swimming, when young Ingalls suddenly threw up his arms and disappeared from sight. Good swimmers dived for the body but could find nothing of it. It seems that he fell in between a ledge of rocks where the water was 30 feet deep, and perhaps his body caught and prevented him rising again.
     Alfred Ingalls was a bright, capable, industrious young man, and his family have the deep sympathy of the community in their bereavement.

     Alfred Ingalls returned overland last Thursday from Wasco with the body of his son who was drowned last week in the John Day river. The funeral services were held the same afternoon at Idlewilde cemetery. It is opposed by those who saw the accident that the boy was dead before he fell beneath the water, for, had it been it simple drowning, the body would have reappeared. The heat at the time was intense. After bathing in the river, the boy raced on the sand with his companions, and being overheated the sudden shock of the cold water caused his death.

MRS. CLAYTON COOK DEAD

     Mrs. Clayton Cook of Dukes Valley, died Wednesday afternoon, August 28th, of small pox. The husband of the deceased woman and her two children, of the ages of 7 months and 2 years, are also sick with the disease. The case in the Cook family appeared last Saturday and came from Mr. Knox, who stayed one night with him after his arrival from Moro. It is reported that the family of Jake Lenz in the same neighborhood have also contacted the malady, as Mr. Knox had stayed at the Lenz residence the night before going to Knox house.
     This is the first death by smallpox in the valley. Dr. Brosius informs us that the woman died more from fright and nervous strain than from the effects of the disease. The situation in the Dalles Valley neighborhood is really serious, and every precaution should be taken to maintain a strict quarantine against all persons who have been exposed. J.A. Knox has recovered from his case. After taking every precaution with fumigation he left the pest house Tuesday night and went out to keep take care of the Cook family.

OBITUARY

       Christina, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Dark, was born at Underwood, Wash., December 25, 1894; died at the same place, September 29, 1901, aged 6 years, 9 months and 4 days, after an illness of 11 days of pneumonia. During the last day she lived she told her mother three different times that she would die before morning. The evening before her death she was to have taken part in the school entertainment and had her part well learned. Little Christina or Christie, as she was generally called by her schoolmates, was an unusually bright child and of a sunny nature. Her time at school was very short but while she did attend made rapid progress. The funeral was held for the school house. Six of her little girl friends, dressed in white, acted as pall-bearers. The school children attended in a body and as she was consigned to the ground they sang "Beautiful Beckoning Hands," after which the children marched around the grave and dropped flowers into it. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Jacob Feak of Hood River. We miss you, Christie, at school, but know you have been called to a greater school, where some day we hope to meet you to part no more.

"There will be no more parting from those that we love,
No more sighing or shedding of tears,
For no discords shall ruffle that peaceful repose.
Which flows through eternity's years.
Oh! We soon shall be called to that beautiful land,
There to dwell with the just evermore;
There to join in sweet songs with the friends that we love,
Safe at home on that beautiful shore."

RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF McKINLEY
By Canby Post, No. 16, G.A.R.

     Whereas, President and Comrade William McKinley has represented the highest type of American manhood by a life in public and private which was pure and without a blemish; whose rectitude of purpose has won for him the admiration and homage of his own countrymen and the respect of all civilized nations, and whose crowning act in soothing the last lingering sorrows that were left by our civil strife, thus making us one and inseparable; and
     Whereas, His death was by the hand of an assassin of foreign extraction, whose nature was set on fire by the loathsome and blatant teachings of anarchy; therefore be it
     Resolved, That as citizens of this republic and members of the G. A. R., we bow in grief at the death of him who was in the prime of life and usefulness, and in shame that this goodly heritage is giving shelter to the off-scourings of the anarchists dens of Europe. We will emulate his virtues and point our sons with pride to a character so noble, a life so pure, an ambition so holy, beginning at the first round in the climb for fame and honor, and reaching the summit only to be the hurled down by the assassin's hand, ere he had accomplished his mission.
     Resolved, That the system (anarchy) that is responsible for the assassination of our president and comrade should be short lived.
     How long shall blatant anarchists be allowed to breathe their treasonable and murderous utterances in this otherwise free and happy land? It is no madman's act; it is the result of false teaching; it comes as the fruit of anarchist thought, which has been permitted to grow. What an awful harvest! Comrades, our duty is clear -- let us urge our legislature to enact laws more stringent, to protect our shores from the venomous touch of the viper that saps the foundation of all true society and government and poisons all with whom it comes into contact. Legislate for the speedy removal or the placing beyond harm's power, those now in our amidst who claim protection of freedom's flag but who are followers of the red flag. Comrades, how better could we round out life's pilgrimage and "War a good warfare" than carry out of the memorable order of the late General Dix, paraphrased: "If any man attempts to hoist their red flag, shoot him on the spot!"

GREEN MUST HANG

     Murderer Green has given up all hope of escaping the gallows. State Senator E.M. Rands, his attorney, was up early this week and, it is reported, informed his client that he must suffer the extreme penalty. A night and day watch is now kept and will be maintained up to the day of Green's doom. The precise date of the execution has not yet been made public, but it is evidently near at hand, as Sheriff Totten is now planning to have cards printed inviting his friends to witness the gruesome event. About 200 of these favors will be distributed. The prisoner shows such a woeful lack of courage as the day approaches for the execution that the sheriff has decided to construct a gallows in the woods adjacent to the town, and away from hearing distance of the condemned man. -- Pioneer

WAS IT MURDER OR SUICIDE

     Sunday afternoon as Miss Lizzie Backus was gathering mushroom along the little run that comes down by Paradise farm, and near the railroad track, she found the dead body of a man lying under a tree. The startled girl notified the proper persons and the remains were at once taken charge of by the authorities. The dead man proved to be J.E. Rourke, formerly book keeper for Jno. Bird. Mr. Rourke came to Hood River about two years ago from Wyoming, where his relatives still reside. He has been in Hood River and vicinity almost continuously ever since he came. At the time as his death he was the in the employ of Kirkpatrick Bros. The following is the findings of the corner's jury:
     We, the undersigned, jurors impaneled by W. H. Butts, coroner of Wasco county, to inquire into the cause of the death of the body now before us, find his name to be J.E. Rourke, of Wyoming and find from the evidence that he is 62 years old and has been a resident here for about two years, and we further find that the cause of death was suicide by shooting himself in the head, as we find a 38 caliber revolver in his right hand tightly gripped and one barrel had been discharged, that this occurred on or about the first of November, and one mile west of Hood River.

J.E. Rand,
C. R. Jones,
J.H. Nickelsen,
A.M. McGregor,
A.S. Blowers,
J.J. Luckey,

     While in the judgment of the jury his death was a suicide, there are some circumstances which would possibly indicate murder, such, for instance, as the total absence of powder marks or burns about the wound, the absence of important papers he was supposed to have on his person, and position of wound which is unnatural and would be difficult for a man of his age to accomplish. The evidence showed that he was in a despondent mood the last few days he was seen here from some unknown cause, certainly not in regard to money matters, as his father's estate which will be settled in January would have given him about $12,000. His relatives have been communicated with and the body is being held in S.E. Bartmess' undertaking rooms pending instructions from them.

DEATH OF E.E. SAVAGE

     Edward Everett Savage died at his home in Hood River, Oregon, at 6:40 o'clock a.m., Nov. 21, 1901. The cause of his death was cancer of the stomach. He took his bed Oct. 12, for the last time. He leaves a widow and two sons - Charles Savage of San Francisco, and Ralph Savage of Hood River. Mr. Savage was born in Augusta, Maine, September 15, 1848. In 1856 his parents moved to Butler county, Iowa, where the subject of this sketch grew to manhood and engaged in business. Among other enterprises he published a newspaper at Parkersburg, Iowa, and also at Shell Rock, Iowa. He was married March 17, 1869, to Mary Elizabeth Burdick, at New Hartford, Iowa. For a number of years he was in the employ of the New England and Loan & Trust Co., at Sioux Falls, Des Moines and Omaha. He came to Hood River in February, 1894, and engaged for several years in farming and fruit growing. For the past 18 months he was engaged in the hardware trade in Hood River, and in that time he built up a good business. It was a member of Hood River Lodge No. 105, A.F. and A.M., in which order he was a past master.
     Mr. Savage was universally respected, not only for his many noble qualities as a man and a citizen, but also for his great abilities and general knowledge. He was self-made and a remarkable man in many respects. An accomplished parliamentarian, he could preside gracefully and with dignity over a deliberate body, or was at home at the blacksmith's forge, or in a carpenter's shop, or in a printing office. He was learned in the law, had mastered several languages, could report a speech in shorthand and was as adept at the deaf and dumb alphabet. At all times reserved, he never put himself forward, and a stranger might not have taken him to be the erudite scholar and accomplished gentleman that he was. He was a man that would have done honor to himself and a constituency in the halls of congress. In politics he was a life-long republican. In the death of Mr. Savage Hood River loses its most accomplished and useful citizen.
     Funeral at 2 o'clock, Friday, November 22d, from Masonic temple.

OBITUARY

     The angel of Death has again visited our school and taken from us little Zadia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Larsen. She was born at Underwood, Wash., September 7, 1896, and died November 8, 1901, after a very brief illness, aged 5 years, 2 months and 1 day. This was her first term at school, and though rather young to attend, she was always on time. Never missed a day until she was taken ill. She was at school up to the Wednesday before her death. She was always happy and smiling. She told her mother the day before she died that she, too, was going to die like Christena (her little classmate who died about five weeks ago). The funeral was held from the school house. Services were conducted by the elders of the Latter Day Saints. The school attended in a body, each carrying a bouquet which they dropped into the grave as they marched around; after which they sang "Meet Me There." She was laid to rest near her little friend and classmate. Both graves were covered with flowers.

"We shall sleep, but not forever --
There shall be a glorious dawn,
With our friends no more to sever,
On that resurrection morn."

BY HER TEACHER.

     The indications are that Green will hang on the date succeeding Thanksgiving. Work has begun on the scaffold yesterday and is being busily prosecuted today. Judge Miller appears to be reluctant to name the day to avoid all the publicity possible, although all he has undoubtedly fixed it for November 29th. Green bears up wonderfully well and has sent for his religious adviser. -- Pioneer.
