B. Slupianek the services, after which the remains were laid to rest in the ceme- tery. Mr. and Mrs, Funke are well known in Hanover and surrounding country and their many friends deeply sympathize with them in their sad affliction. August Funke was a young gentleman of excellent character and was greatly loved by the family and all who knew him.

He was 15 years, 6 months and 10 days old at the time of his death. Beside his father and mother he leaves four brothers and three sisters, Ernest Funke, Ho-llen-berg; Emil and Herman Funke, Hanover; Mrs. Minnie Kuhn, Beatrice, Mrs. Lena Klusman, Nashville, Emma and Albert, who reside at home, to mourn his early departure. "Blessed are those who die in Christ" Yes, he has gone, our brother, Gone where sorrows cease, But where we hope one day to meet him In that home of joy and peace.

Dearest mother, dearest father, cease thy mourning, Cease to think of me in pain, For what to you may seem a loss, Is my eternal gain. Twas very hard at parting With the dear ones I love, But they may some time join me In that brighter world above. Ah, the, ties can ne'er be broken, They are stronger than before; For I have not left the mother, fath er, Only reached the ether shore. Dear sisters, though you miss me, Cannot count me with you there, When you look upon my picture As upon the vacant chair. And to you, my dearest brothers, The fond idols of my heart, To you the home seems desolate, To think that we must part.

When this life with care is over, Free from sorrow, grief and pain, Happy is a blessed reunion When we need net part again. Marriage Licenses. J. H. Pethoud, Beatrice, 21 Viola Hann, Beatrice, 19 Rudolph A.

Mayhew, Calhan, Colo rado. 3t On Wednesday evening, Sept. number of young folks called at the home of FrankBehm in Walnut township, to help him celebrate his twen ty-sixth birthday anniversary. By the aid of a brightly shining moon and lanterns hung in the trees, the yard was lighted up and games of all sorts were played there. A coo-1 wind from the south made the ing very pleasant.

Shortly before midnight refreshments were served out in the moonlight After supper the guests returned to the parlors, where they were entertained by the REPEAL THE VOTE IN MAINE IS VERY. CLOSE FAVORS PROHIBITION. MAJORITY AGAINST ABOUT 531 Aftep Pronibition Leaders Had Given Up Hope Late Returns Made Changes in Election Figures Liquor Men Still Hopeful May Contest Portland, Sept 14. The latest revised returns obtainable on the question of the repeal of constitutional prohibition reduced the majority against repeal to 295. There are enoush election districts still to be neard from to cnange tnis majority jn favor of the 'twets," although it is expected that the "drys" will come out of the close contest winners.

The total count at last reports was: For repeal, against repeal, It was a day of constant surprises. At first it was conceded by the prohibitionists that the local optionists had won the election. Then the "drys" forged ahead until with but 196 towns and plantations still to be heard from, the "majority against the repeal was given at 465. Accompanying these figures was the statement that the votes yet to be received would be against the repeal, undoubtedly, and that 50 "dry" votes were known to exist in Portland not included be cause of an admitted error. This change in the situation came after the prohibitionists had conceded defeat and those favoring repeal had sent out statements of what they would do next.

Mr. L. M. Stevens, president of the National W. C.

T. made the following statement: "On September 9 Englasd cabled: Hold the fort, the world "We have held the fort against the terrible assaults of the unitpd forces of the liquor makers, sellers and allies, and the world will rejoice." Frederick G. Fassctt, secretary or the Non-partisan Local Option league said: "We do not concede that the amendment has been reaffirmed. We shall wait for the oflicia! canvass and then decide whether to take steps to secure an inspection of the ballots." Portland, Sept. 14 Town clerks' returns from 402 out of the 521 cities, towns and plantations in the states give a majority against repeal of the Prohibition law of 531.

The vote on the face of these returns stands: For repeal, f.0,097. Against repeal, C0.C28. The constant gains of the prohibition vote make it almost certain that Maine will remain dry. Kansas Baby Drowned. Beloit, Sept.

14. Lana Leone, the 18-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. S.

Pearson, who live southeast of Beloit, was drowned in an open water tank. The mother had gone to the corral to milk and left the child near a windmill and water tank and when she returned she found the body in the water.

Topeka, Sept. 14. Having stated recently in a Kansas City syeecfl that there were violations of the liquor law in Wyandotte county, Gov. Stubbs may be subpoenaed as a witness to tell what he knows about these violations. The reason for the inquisition that may be held with the governor lays within the recent Stubbs-Dawson controversy, in which there was a war of words between the governor and the attorney general as to whether the former had the right to order the latter to subpoena J.

E. House, a Topeka newspaper man and make him tell what he knew about violations of the liquor law in another section of the state. The di pute is in the supreme court now in the form of a mandamus suit against Dawson. Last week the governor stated that Kansas City, was one of the cleanest towns in the country. Later he stated that there were many viol ations of the liquor law and placed the blame on County Attorney Joseph Taggart.

Now J. E. House wants Stubbs subpoenaed and Mr. Dawson has agreed to hold an inquisition it Mr. Taggart will subpoena the gov ernor.

Mr. House has sent Mr. Tag gait the following letter: My Dear Mr. Taggrrt: Gov. W.

R. Stubbs is quoted by lire newspapers as having said, in a recent speech in Kansas City, that the prohibitory liquor law is being vio lated in Wyandotte county. Xow, it-is inconceivable that one of Gov. Stubbs' probity and standing wo.i.'d make such public statement actual knowledge of such law therefore, suggest and re quest that you subpoena Gov. Stubbs for the purpose of allowing him to give such information as is in his posses sion concerning said violation of the law.

1 take it that it is the duty of every good citizen to give such information and influence as lies at his command to the enforcement of all laws. Gov. Stubbs' prominence and respectability should not be so con strued as to permit him to shirk his obligation to that duty. I am very truly yours. JAY E.

HOUSE. Gov. Stubbs is attending a conference of governors in Atlantic City at present, consequently he knows noth ing of the plan to make him the star witness at an inquisition. WRIGHT OPPOSED TO AIR RACES Claims That Money Spent In This Way Is Largely Wasted Hot House Method of Development. New York, Sept 14 Wilbur Wright, who is in town with his lawyer, H.

A. Toulmin, cross-examining witnesses in his suit against Glenn H. Curtiss for infringement of his patents, said he was satisfied with the progress made in aviation in the United States, but he is critical of some of the methods employed. "I am certain that $99 out of every 100 that has been spent on aviation during the past year has been wasted," he said, meaning that it had not teen used to develop the efficiency and standard of the aeroplane. "This hothouse method of developing flying as a practical art is wrong.

It should be advanced in the same way that the motor car was developed." Both Wanted the Child. Winfield, Sept 14. Frank Walck went to the home of his divorced wife, Mrs. Minnie Walck, here and carried off their three-year-old child. Mrs.

Walck finally found her ex-husband and the child in a lawyer's office, ran in and snatched the child from him and carried it home. Platte County's Forty-Eighth Fair. Platte City, Sept 14.

Let that walk be built by volun teer contributions from people who feel like they wanted to have a part in it You will feel better yourself if you do it that way, and it will be more creditable to the community if it is done that way. Don't worry about the amount of your donation.

If you cannot afford to give $10 or $5, possibly you can pare $1.00. If ycu want the walk built you can do something. Get your name on the list. It will be kept in a neatly bound volume and be a part of the history of Marysville. It will be creditable to you to help to make it.
