WASHINGTON LETTER
Events of Interest from the Seat of
Government, Northwestern Bureau,
Washington, I). C. June 24:—Mrs.
John A. Logan, widow of the great
General and Satesman. is , insistent
that a fitting memorial be erected in
Washington, in honor of Clara Barton,
who not only was oue of the first
American women to relieve suffering
on fields of battle, but who likewise
originated the idea of the Red Cross
society. The magnificent marble tem
ple of the society, now in the course
of construction, is conspicuous by the
absence of any tribute, or recognition
of its founder. The society did not
welcome the suggestion that a bust
or statute of Miss Barton should be
placed within the building. Mrs. Lo
gan and a lew other patriotic women,
who are free from petty jealousies and
envy, propose to erect a fitting me
morial to the memory of Miss Barton,
and probably it will take the form of
a Greek temple.
Different "Standards."
The Federal Trade Commission
wants to know why the Standard Oil
Company, of Ohio, charges several
cents more a gallon for kerosene than
is charged by its competitors. One
of the commissioners says that oue
of the underlying causes of the de
morilization of which the Standard
Oil Company, of Indiana does not com
pete in Ohio. The indications alf
point to the conclusion that the un
to rambling of the Standard Oil Trust
did not entirely “unscramble."
Germany and Our Flag.
As a result of the inability of local
. committees in different parts of the
country to secure small silk flags, it
has come to light that whatever suf
fering may have been caused in con
sequence to American patriotism, may
e attributed to Germany. It has been
discovered that a very large percent
age of the small silk flags used in the
I'nited States are “made in Germany."
and that the war lias cut off ship
ments.
Wasteful Americans.
1
A bulletin from the United States
Forestry Service declares that the
waste in the saw mills of the south is
sufficient to produce 20,000 tons of
paper daily. Still we learn from the
intelligent press of the country that
the paper situation is critical. New
by product coke plants now in course
of construction in this country repre
sent an investment of nearly $60 000.
000. By-products to be recovered are
estimated to have a value of $25,000,-.
000.000.
Philippine Freedom
Freedom for the Philippines has
failed. The democratic platform adop
ted at Baltimore was emphatic'on
this question, and the Wilson admin
istration kept faith by placing the
matter clearly before congress. There
is no question but that congress obey
ed the express will of the American
people when it refused to cut its
wards loose. It is said that the
Philippine delegate to congress re
gards his life as having been a failure
because he has been unable—but
wholly through no fault of his own—
to gain the consent of the PTniled
States for self government for kjs
islands. Senator Hitchcock, chair
man of the Philippine committee, has
announced, after a conference with
President Wilson, that no effort w'll
be made to embody'in tlie Phillipine
legislation pending in congress, a pro-,
vision setting a definite dale for in
dependence in the islands. Tl-.c
Philippines are to be given a greater
degree of self-government. But this
is all they need expect for some time
to come.
Is Carnegies Gold Clean?
Andrew Carnegie set aside $12,000 •
fiOO in fifty years, five per cent gold
bonds of the United Staes Steel Cor
poration, and something more than
S2.000.000 in other securities, and pro
vided that the income should be* used
to “standardize” the common school
. system of the United States. The an
nual report of he Carnegie foundation
apparently do not relish Mr. Car
negie’s methods, and true to their re
putation, they wish “to be shown."
A lot of distinguished professors
throughout the country have been re
tired on foundation pensions. These
gentlemen and their friends are very
much ill favor of the manner in which
some of the Carnegie wealth is being
distributed.
Tobacco As a “War Baby.”
A great many honest men believe
that tobacco is not a necessity, that it
is injurious to the human system.
Most women think the same way, and
yet tobacco is one of the “war babies,”
and the governments at war are fur
nishing their soldiers and sailors with
ample quantities of it. The largest
tobacco transportation contract in
history has recently been closed, and
it provides for carrying 234.000,000
pounds from this country to France
during the months of July and Aug
ust. The tobacco comes from Ken
tucky, afid it will be shipped in hogs
heads, of which there will be ’5.000,
the total shipment weighing 11.700
tons. The tobacco is shipped in leaf
form to the French government. Very
likely when the next set of moving
pictures, comes out, showing "How
France Prepared,” this tobacco will
appear in the films, and the probabili
t, ties are that the patriots who pre
pare if for the French soldiers to
chew and smoke will be the women
nnd girls of the country. A shipment
«f 3,000 tons of the recent purchase
will be sent to France during the first
week of July, and the steamship Kir
sten will be renamed “Lady Nicotine"
in honor of the unusual cargo which
will be carried.
Movies and Saloons.
It is claimed on behalf of the mo
tion picture that they are improving
the public morals, and a speaker at
the West Side Y. M. C. A. in New
York, demonstrated that 500 saloons
were put out of business by the movies
last year. He asserted that in manu
facturing centers like Lynn, Troy, and
Schnectadv morals have been great!
improved because of picture houses.
Between nine and twelve millions of
persons in the United States go to
the movies every day, and the indus
try took in last year more than $26.
000.000.

ed in the office once, asking him if
he could come in and help in the shop.
The young man came last Wednesday,
never having thought about enlisting,
but Friday he signed up for Lieut.
Watson and that night same to Ord.
Thus A. L. Davis lost two men mightv

RAVENNA HARD HIT.
The Nebraska Supreme court has
refused to grant a new hearing in the
personal damage case of James Mc
Carthy vs the City of Ravenna, and
the city will now have to make provi
sions for the payment of the $6,000
judgment with interest from the date
of the appeal.
While whitewashing the walls cf
the Ravenna pumping station, about
three years ago, Mr. McCarthy was
caught in the main shaft, jerked from
the ladder on which he was standing
at the time, and whirled about the
shaft several times and finally fell to
the floor entirely stripped of his cloth
ing. The accident resulted in an
injury to McCarthy’s arm and should
er. upon which was based a personal
injury claim of $20,000. The case
was tried in the district court of Buf
falo county, resulting in an award of
$10,000 by the jury, but the trial judge
held this amount excessive and -e
duced the award to $6,000. The case
was taken to the supreme court on ap
peal by the city, but the judgment of
the lower court was affirmed. A pe
tition for a new trial was then filed,
and this has been denied.
The city fought the case to the
court of last resort, but McCarthy's
claim has been held valid by all the
courts, and the next step necessary
will be the making of provision for
the payment of the judgment. If
equally distributed the-Tax necessary
to pay this judgment and interest
would amount to nearly five dollars for
every man, woman and child in the in
corporated limits of Ravenna. Whether
%
or not its payment will be required In
one year or be spread over a period
of years can not be said at this time.

||C. A. CLARK OBITUARY
Thursday morning the people of Ra
venna were astounded to learn that
Mr. Charles A. Clark, president of the
Ravenna Creamery Co., and for many
years one of Ravenna’s most promi
nent and influential men, had been
suddenly called during the night, and
the symbolic crepe at the doorway of
the family residence indicated that it
was a house of mourning.
But the evening before the neigh
bors had seen Mr. and Mrs. Clark out
for a walk, and his usual hearty and
cheerful hail to those of his friends
and acquaintances met on the way in
dicated that he was enjoying his usual
health and spirits, and the news of his
death, but a few hours later, terribly
empathized the fact “that in life we
j are in the midst of death.”
Mr. Clark retired shortly after
nine o'clock Wednesday evening. He
feli asleep for a time, but later
aroused and complained to his wife of
cramps in his limbs. A few moments
later Mrs. Clark heard him moan aud
stir slightly. She spoke to him, but
he did not answer, and becoming
alarmed she arose and aroused the
family, a doctor was called but Mr.
Clark had sunk into the sleep that
knows no awakening in this world.
Thus passed away one of Ravenna’s
most beloved citizens aud there is
universal mourning throughout the
community in the loss of so estimable
a man. A broad-guaged man, always
hopeful, always helpful, kindly in
spirit and the helpful friend to all, a
Christian man whose life was in strict
accord with his professions, the friend
of every child in the community, hon
orable and upright in all his relations
| with his fellow men, his loss to the
■ ommunity is irreparable.
Mr. Clark was the fo^.der o| one of
the largest business institutions in Ra
venna, the Ravenna Creamery Co. It
is a tribute to his skill of management ,
that in spite of the many handicaps
under which he has had to work it has
survived where hundreds of other
small creameries have failed, and is
today doing the largest business in its
history.
Air. Clark is survived by his wile, i
two sons, Joseph S„ and Charles A. i
Clark. Jr., and two daughters, Mrs. C. '
D. Conn, and Mrs. Roy Miner. Ail !
are residents of Ravenna, excepting ;
the younger son, Charles Clark, Jr., i
who for the past year or more has <
been located at Beatrice, Neb. ,i
Charles A. Clark was born in Ray-j<
mondville, St. Lawrence county, New ■
York, in June 1848. He celebrated li
his 68th birthday about a week before i
his death. Mr. Clark was educated in i
the public schools at Raymondville, i
finishing with a course at Potsdam i
Academy, and a graduate course at ]
the Eastman Business College, at j
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where he special
ized in bookkeeping and telegraphy, i
After completing his school work he
worked at the carpenter trade in the
summer time and taught school dur
ing the winter until 1875, when he 1
built a creamery at Raymondville. it
being the second creamery established
in St. Lawrence county, a county
which has since acquired almost a i
world-wide reputation as a dairying
district with its more than forty big i
creameries and one hundred and twen- ■
ty cheese factories. In order to build}
this pioneer creamery Mr. Clark and i
three men went into the woods, felled 1
the trees, hewed the logs for the
frame work, and hauled the logs to a i
saw mill for the making of the neces- <
sary dressed lumber.
Mr. Clark operated this creamery
for nineteen years. During much of
this time he had charge of the tele
graph office of the Montreal Telegraph
Co., and alBo held a magistrate com- 1
mission for the district of Raymond- 1
ville.
Mr. Clark came to Nebraska in 1894
and soon after purchased a control
ling interest in the Ravenna Creamery
Co. Under his management the busi
ness prospered and in 1896 he pur
chased creameries at Ord and at Loup
| City, the three institutions being in
corporated under the name of the Ra
venna Creamery Co., of which organi
zation Mr. Clark had been president
for a number of years.
Mr. Clark was a forceful character,
and a man of very high ideals. His
capability won him state-wide recog
nition in various ways. He served
two years as president of the State
I Dairymen’s Association, and was re
cognized as one of the leading men of
the Btate in dairying affairs, for a
number of years he was a member of
the Ravenna Board of Education, serv
ing one year as president. Always a
man of strong religious convictions he
has been one of the pillars of the Con- i
gregational church, and has taken a
leading part in all the affaire and
^activities of the church, and for a
number of years was superintendent
of the Sunday school.
The funeral was held at the late
residence of the deceased on Friday
afternoon at two o’cbloek. The ser
vices were conducted by Kev. S. H.
Buell, of Lincoln, former pastor of the
Ravenna Congregational church, aad
Rev. Triplett, the present pastor.—
