The follow ing morning her parents. Fielding and Sarah Utterback, with their children, including the newly mar ried pair, started to western Iowa, driving across with covered wagons and horses. They settled near Tabor, Fremont county. It was here that her three children were born and where her husband enlisted to serve his country, when, one morning in November. IS 61. he bade farewell to loved ones and rode away full of! courage to join Co. F, 15th IowajCar, Sattier an(i family and Blythe Volunteer Infantry. He never return ed. Receiving a death wound In the Battle of Shiloh, he was sent to a hospital at Pittsburgh Landing, where he contracted typhoid fever and died June 1, 1S62. There his body lies beside those of his com rades in the Shiloh National ceme tery. The subject of this sketch was twice remarried, a son of the second union. Koscoe Vernon Jones, depart ing this life in infancy, followed soon by the father, Riley Jones. Since the death of her third hus band, Joshua Boyd, she has made her home with her children. F. M. Har mon of Seattle; Mrs. William Davis, of Fullerton. California, and Mrs. W. A. Davis of this place, this covering a period of 26 years. She has made seventeen trips across, to and from the coast country, impelled by her anxiety to Fee the absent ones. Minerva Boyd was able to trace her maternal ancestry back to the colony of Walloons in Holland where 500 years a?o and more, the Ter Lune family lived. About 1640 Gov ernor Kleift organized a company in Hollaed to emigrate to the colony in America that had been, settled by Henry Hudson. They came across in the "Grave ulk," a sail ship of ten tons. The parents of Stephen Ter hune, who is the acknowledged fore father of the Terhune family, set tled in New Jersey. William, the son of Stephen, served throughout the Revolutionary war. Many trusts were given to him by the commander-in-chief. George Washington. Gar rett, the fourth son of William, was the grandfather of Minerva Boyd. Her father's mother was Matilda Hanks, a cousin of Abraham Lin coln's mother. Both families came from Kentucky to Indiana, and at near the same time, where the par ents were married in 1834. It is difficult to write impartially of one's own mother. We place her upon a pedestal apart from all oth ers. The thing that stands out clear est in my memory is the faith she had in me. She wa3 blind to the faults of her children after they reached womanhood and manhood and was very slow to believe any evil report of any friend. She gave er heart to God at the age of 22. Il'cr favorite hymn, the theme o& which she often hummed when about her work was "How firm a founda tion ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in His excellent Word." It is pleasant to know that during her last days, her every physical need was gratified by a loving daughter and son-in-law and their children, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Davis and family, at whose home she fell asleep on the evening of Mother's day, 1923. Mrs. Davis has the sympathy of her many friends in her great be reavement. Weeping Water Repub lican. MRS.

CHARGE YOUNG MAN WITH COMMIT- ING FORGERY Information From Ashland Leads to Filing of Complaint Against Harry Jordan. Frm Saturday's tally. Acting on information received from the First National bank of Ashland. County Attorney A. G. Cole this morning filed ' Information against Harry Jordan, a young man employed on a farm in the vicinity of Cedar Creek, charging him with forgery. The yoking man, it is elaimed, is sued a number of checks in Platts moutn, drawn on 'the First National bank of Ashland and to which the name of J. E. Jordan, a brother of the young man, was signed. When the checks, in the course of business, arrived at the Ashland bank for pay ment the brother, it is stated by the bank, stated that the signatures were not hi3 and refused to honor the checks and as the result the matter was placed by the bank in the hands of the county authorities. The checks were issued to various business houses in this city and are all in small amounts of from $2.50 to $5.00 and the total of the checks will probably reach $25, but the fact that the signatures are alleged to be forged will make it very difficult for the young man in the case if the charges are pressed.

Approximately two and a half per cent, or a little more than 6,000,000' bushels of wheat grown annually in ; Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and ' Texas take lower grades than would otherwise be the case on account of mixtures of rye. Of the wheat com ing into Kansas City this past season over 1,600,000 bushels were mixed with enough rye to lower the quality from one to two grades.representing a loss of approximately $50,000 on this one market.

' Lincoln, May 17. Banks in the ctate which have paid in full the taxes on their capital stock for 1922 may lose that tax despite the fact the state supreme court has since de clared that the collection was illegal, it was indicated in an opinion by Assistant Attorney General Ayres to day. Ayres has discovered the supreme court has held, and the decision is still the guiding one as far as this Problem 13 concerned, that any taxes Jonce they are paid to the county treasurer ma not be "covered, even though it is. decided that there was no authority for t lie collection. May Mean Thousands , This decision, if it is sustained by the courts, means many thousands of dollars to Nebraska bankers. The total amount of the capital stock tax under consideration is $1,000,000, three-fourths of which the court de cided they did not have to pay. Of this, $730,000 not authorized by law, it is estimated that at least a good part of it has been paid by banks to the county treasurers of their counties. they see fit to do so, but that it would he by all means advisable for them to have cu agreement with some taxpayer to bring a test suit egainst it in the courts. This is to protect the county commissioners from liability. The opinion , is based on an opin ion by - Jude Sedgwick of the su preme court somo years ago. "Taxes voluntarily paid under a mistake of law," Judge Sedgwick held, "cannot be recovered whether the mistake is due to the validity of the statute un der which they were levied or the legal liability of the person or prop erty" ' - chamberlain's Tablets are Mild and rja-nla i.

Berlin, May , 17. The German cabinet has decided to moke a new reparations offer to" the allies. It will probably go forward Saturday or Monday at the latest? The change in plans was called forth by the statement of Acting Premier Stanley Baldwin of England in the house of commons, regarding 41 .i : i .... Ai tha difference between the figures contained in the last German note and those proposed by Premier Bo nar Law in January. This strength ened the conviction in German ofli- cial circles that the last offer had been misunuersioou at. several points. Dr. Sthamer, German ambassador to London, has been instructed to question the British government on those points which are not clear. It is learned in well informed through an outside wall of the build ers that the new oner will be: mw tTlo .nfn .hnut 4 -ju.d.ma mav iuc m uuu m uc.ir, nTld hloW fhft Rife flhOUt 4 a. m. On the basis Of 30,000,000 gold marks, but with the difference, it is explained, that Germany is ready to add to the basic sum, interest on the loans which will bring the total up to approximately 35,000,000,000 gold marks. N- Germany will further declare that this offer will be considered as "ac tual value in full," thus correspond ing to Bonar Law's plan, which also called for 35,000,000,000. Another possible solution under consideration is not to offer a fixed sum but td formulate a plan on the basis of annuities. In this case Ger many's offer would be approximately a billion gold marks annually for the first five years, and then one and a half or two billions a year until the final sum of 50,000,000,000 gold marks had been paid, which would correspond with the final bu min the British plan. As regards guarantees, Germany would submit a carefully worked out plan .on which the finishing touches will be put in the next few days. Lumbago This is a rheumatism of the mus cles of the back.

When I be gan using it, I was flat on my back in bed and could not turn to the left or right. I had a bottle of Chamber- Iain's Liniment in the house and this was applied to my back.
