A great throng of people were im attendance, the fu neral procession being over a mile in length. The husband of the deceased is a brother-in-law of Gov. Gco:ge L. Sheldon, and i3 widely known in this section of the state. Mrs. Todd opened her eyes upon the busy scenes of life in Meggs county, Ohio, and grew to womanhood in the community where she was born. She was educated in the public schools and became a beautiful, refined and intelli gent woman. She became a Christian in early life and was faithful in her profession even to the end, her membership being held in the Otterbein United Brethren church many years. She was married to Mr. L. C. Todd on February 19, 1890, and their home has been maintained in this region ever since. A happy home it was, and to it she gave the devotion of her life and the sunshine of her bright, happy dis position. For its advancement she counted no labor lost no sacrifice too great, and over it she presided with charming grace and queenly dignity. She was the mother of eight chidren, one dying in infancy, and the remain ing seven three boys and four girls now ranging in age from the early teens down to the tender years of childhood. She was the second mother of Miss Florence Todd who is about to gradu ate from the Academy at Weeping Water. Four brothers, two sisters and an aged mother still survive. She leaves an unusually large circle of friends, for she was highly esteemed a'nd loved by all who knew her, the same being evidenced by the large con course of people who followed her re mains to the cemetery and assisted in laying them so tenderly away for the last long slumber. Mrs. Todd had been in poor health for about a year. Everything was done that medical skill could suggest, but all was unavailing. She bore her suffering patiently and bravely met and conque ed the last enemy. Her latest anxiety was for her children and husband who are now left without her care and cou sel. Dr. Schnell spoke words of tender est sympathy to the sorrowing friends, and uttered helpful truths to all. His tribute to the noble life of the deceased wasbeautiful and quite extended, closing with the following: "There is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the flowers never wither, and where the beautiful beings, which here pass before us like shad ows, will stay in our presence forever. God has given immortality to man. He gathers to Himself the noble spirits of our friends. And to this saintly mat ron, so recently gone before us, we can truly say: Thy day lias co;n-. not jrone: Thy sun lias ri'ii. not sft: Tliy life is nowln-yoii"! tlie rfa-'li of tl-at!i or cliant'p; Not endeiK luit Ix-irun.

DRANK BAD WHISKEY Resulting in a Free-for-AU Fight at Weeping Water Albert Glasgo of Nehawka went to Nebraska City some time ago and got too much bad whiskey, and going home met Robert McClary of Weeping Wa ter, and as Glasgo had s me beer he insisted that Mac be social ami take some of it with him. McClary said 'no; but if you have some whiskey I will try that," Glasgo searched himself and found a bottle which they both went after, and had almost put it out of the way of tempting anybody else, when Glasgo bethought himself it was for some one else, and thereupon ac cused McClary of stealing it. This re sulted in a fight, and in the end Glasgo looked like well, pretty bad anyway. For an evening up of affairs, he made complaint and had McClary arrested. This morning a compromise was affect ed, and while the charge was for as sault with intent to do great bodily in jury, it was agreed to accept a charge of assault and battery, and a fine of $.r and cost were entered, which made $17 in all. McClary telephoned to Weeping Water to ascertain whether his check would be good for the amount, and his will send the money tomorrow.
