West Virginia, to live with an uncle. The new home did not suit the hoy.

however, and two years later, he prepared his prip and ran away to tli west country, When he reach the Mississippi river he soon found employment on steamboat. Soon tired of the work on the boat, he secured a position in a glass factory. At the first opportunity lie brought bis mother and sisttr to live with him. Whenhe reached the aue of manhood he finally went into the timber work. While in this employment he boarded with a farmer nannd Pf.r-ker.

And in the Parker household there was a daughter with whom Thomas be came interested au I it was not long before the yonng counple eloped and on Nov-e nber 9, 1SG4-. at Missouri. Mary Parker was married to T. McUer-molt. Shortly after this dale, Mr.

Meliertnott ventured into the hotel business and has staid with it ever since. For ten years he managed the Everett House in Saint Joseph, Missouri, and later had charge of the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Railway boarding trains. He continued in this service for lour years.

It is also announced that the Santa Fe extention out of Llauco, a point on the Rock Island where the Santa Fc will use its own tracks, is nearly completed, and it is perhaps the idea to complete both lines at the same time.

A jomnion sight in the earlier days of the Russian settlements of Kdis county was the manufacture of this fuel which was known in their toi.gue as "tni--tholtz." When a barnyard had been prepared by the men, the womeu and girls would tramp in the straw, marching around and a-outul in baic fcec and legs, until the mixture had reacli the proper ncv. lint this was only for the first few years, for the Russians began to thiive and they soon learned to use horse power instead of woman power in the manufacture ol "nilsthul z'' which is carried on to this day The iis are devout Roman Catholics, they come; from a Gie.U Oathol country.
