To combat the disease all care and the best of medical attention were given to the patient. Roscoe Harshman was a man who made and held friends by his friend liness and just sense of right. The country loves and venerates men who stand for right and justice as did this man. The excellence of the character of this citizen who has just departed this life was attested by the large number of admiring friends who were present on last Sunday to pay their last tribute of honor rnd re spect to the one whom they loved. Many from Nehawka were present at the funeral.

Butler Loses; Wagner Beats GOPiiiN.Y, Harreld Loses Out in Oklahoma Hawes Ahead in Missouri N Indiana Race Close. TCoston. Nov. 2. United States Sen ator William M. Butler, chairman of the republican national committee,; was defeated for re-election today by; former Senator David I. Walsh, demo-j crat. Senator Butler conceded his de feat shortly before midnight. ) In the returns from the state out-j side of Boston, Butler ran far behind i Governor Alvan T. Fuller, republican, seeking re-elction. No returns from Boston were available up to midnight. The counting of the vote in this city is customarily slow due to the system of briuging the ballot boxes from all the precinct polling places to the city nail wnere tne returns are laouiaieu. Senator Butler issued the follow ing statement: "It is apparent that my opponent has been elected. I have enjoyed my two years in the senate very much and am grateful to all those who helped me in the campaign." Chicago. 111., Nov. 2. The revolt against Volsteadism that was regis tered in the congressional election to day jolted the republican party severely and may have cost it control of the senate. While the republicans appear to have retained a majority in the house of the seventieth congress, the incom plete returns indicate that their pres ent majority in the senate has melted away almost, if not quite, to the van ishing point. Massachusetts, New York, Penn sylvania, Maryland, Missouri and Wisconsin, went wet unmistakably, and enthusiastically returning wet senators in place of drys in some cases, and in others, replacing wet senators with wetter ones. New York and Illinois voted overwhelmingly for the beer and wine modification of the Volstead act proposed by the referen dum in those states. On the face of the incomplete re turns the democrats captured seven and perhaps one or two more senate seats now held by republicans. The republican senators defeated were: James W. Wadsworth. New York. William M. Butler. Massachusetts. Ovington E. Weller, Maryland. Richard P. Ernst, Kentucky. George H. Williams. Missouri. John W. Herreld, Oklahoma. Ralph H. Cameron, Arizona. There were a number of other states in which the results were not definitely determined in the light of the latest returns. Senator Watson (rep.), seemingly was re-elected in Indiana, but.the race is very close. In three other states the demo crats may have captured republican seats. In Washington Bullitt, the democratic candidate, who is a wet, was leading Senator Jones, a bone dry republican, in the scattering re turns. In Oregon, Bert Haney (dem.), was leading the three-cornered senate con- tost. In Colorado, former Governor Sweet (dem.), ran Waterman (rep.), a close race, and may have won. If the democrats are found to have carried two of these three states in addition to the seven they are al ready known to have taken from the republicans, they will have control of the senate. DEATH OF ROSCOE HARSHMAN Roscoe C. Harshman born Mar. 20, 1876, and died at his home Oct. 2S 1926, at the age of 50 years, 7 months and 8 days. He spent his en tire life o nhis farm four miles east of Avoca. In the year of 1907 he was united in marriage to Alma Schomaker and to this union was born two children, Ralph and .Wilmer. Besides his wife and two sons he leaves to mourn his death six sisters and one brother. He was a devouted husband and a loving father, a man who scatter ed sunshine and cheer not only in his home and among his family but in his neighborhood and among those whom he came in contact with. His life has been one spent in the promotion of goodness and in the welfare and happiness of others and his death will leave a great vacancy in his community as well as in the hearts Of his loved ones. Funeral services were held Sun day by Rev. W. A. Taylor of Union officiating and interment was at the Avoca cemetery. Card of Thanks.
