Keenly as we all feel his demiee while in the prime of hia life, regrete are more or less eclflah in that they express our own loss. We would congratulate our- as a community that he apeht big. life-hero and ieavea behind so many monumeuta of a generous energy.

It was a privilege to have been associated with him as friend, to have profited from his splendid foresight and his confidence in humanity. To enumerate the many things' he did for New. Castle would make a surprisingly long list. Hia active brain was filled with original ideas and ho had the courage and spirit to get them working. It was his enthusiasm and confidence in organized effort that spurred the K.

of P. lodge to erect a $25,000 home in a 2,500 town. writer was present at a meeting of local "business men when he told them that New Castle, then a place of 4,500 people, could raise $120,000 bonus for a factory, and hia word was doubted by every one of hie auditors; but developments proved the truth of his assertion. These are only instances to show hia ability. Charles Hernly waa a man who loved iiuumnity--passionately fond of his family, he did not neglect others.

We have known of him at Christmas time calling in all the children of the neighborhood, especially the poorer, and giving away dozens of sacks of candy, and no child waa happier to receive than was he to give. A merchant remarked a few days ago that every winter Mr. Hernly bought of him many pairs of shoen for unfortunate children, No one knows how many of God's children he helped. And he was never a rich man. Selfishness was no part of his life, Much of his auccessiu building New Castle was his ftbjlity to first create a kindly, neighborly to induce men to.lay aside petty jealousies and act as one big family.

He told men tfielrshortcomings--told them, plainly. He had faults of his own, as has. every man worth while, but the other side of his life's ledger is so filled with good deeds as to make his failings insignificant. His was an active militant character, carrying out the precepts of Christianity, not as a duty or future reward, but because it was in hia heart to do it. 'Charles 8.

Hernly may well be called the builder of New Castle. He did not do it alone, but there are few persons who think that thia city would be more than lialf its size if he had not lived here to devote his brains and wpnderfurenergy-'to the good of the community. Every person who has benefittod, financially or otherwise, by this city's rapid growth must concede to Mr, Hernly a large share of the credit and acknowledge to him a debt of gratitude. Does any one think the Honey railroad would have been built to New Castle is Charles F. Herbly had not lived here? It waa a favorite expression with him that he loved his fellow wan.

And his life furnished the proo His great love of children was known and they loved him--which was conclusive evidence that his heart waa right. To have spent 68 years on this earth ii not a long life, but to have lived In deeds as did our friend, was a life that can not be measured in years. One so active will be all the more missed, but we shall not mourn our loss (not his) but shall feel a sense of pleasure for his companionship In life, and be grateful that we, as a were blessed with one so genial, so generous and so.charitable to his fellow men ns Charles Slaten Hernly. Heaven haa a welcome for the spirit of such a man. ins No amount of misrepresentation by the peddlers of alum baking powders, no juggling with chemicals, or pretended analysis, or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of any kind, can change the fact that Royal Baking Powder has been found by the official examinations to be of the highest leavening efficiency, free from atom, and of absolute pnrity and Royal Baking Powder is indispensable for making finest and most economical food.

A freight car carrying ft trailer got 1 off the track at the derail at the Iu E. W. crossing, and to better enable the car to get back on the rail the trailer was uncoupled.

In coupling up the. motor car strupk the railer a little too hard and it got away and come east down the grade through town and struck the 6.15 passenger car at the station. Not very hard, to be iure, but enough to crash the fender and break few glass. The passengers In the car saw the runaway coming and got out In safety. The loose oar had brnkeman with it, but the brake would nqt work and he I off in time.

Mr. Kepler's mind had a peculiar beufc and he was not accustomed to mingling with the public in a social way. By many he waa spoken of as miserly, but those who knew him best regarded this trait as a peculiarity, as that he and relieved many needy families, lie was a great reader and had a well stored mind on all subjects even to law. No man was ever more generous to his family, and like every ambitious father, he glorified in their success. Not a few.
