On December 3. 18 2, Japheth Hughes, a native of Dembyshire, North Wales, and 2ti years old, took unto himself, at Liver pool, Miss Williams to be his wife, and she Is his bride today, Just as though the to regain broken health, winters and summers of half a century had removed to Iowa In 1SS1 not Intervened. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes came to America In 1S."4 and settled first In Ohio, where he followed his trade as a carpenter, gaining a competence as a contractor, and finally taking up life on a farm in order From Ohio he and became a resident of Montgomery county. He lived first on a farm, but finally moved Into Red Oak, where ho still lives, with his wife, honored and loved by all who know them.

Opponents to the majority are com pelled to take part In the transaction of public business under the Reed rule. Aside from this Mr. Reed was a powerful factor In legislation during his service In con gress. While no great measure beating his and the trouble of getting to tho top again: but the country youngsters know little of the pleasure of "hooking" wagons, for they do not have the opportunity.

As speaker he whs clothed with all but absolute authority lo matters affecting legislation and he wielded tho power fearlessly and, It Is now gen erally admitted, fairly. From Hip time he was admitted to the bar In California, long before the civil war, until death closed his career at Washington last Saturday night he was an active llgure In the affairs of mankind. He was born In Maine In 1839 and after a high school and college educa I going In another direction. Most city drivers have become used to this custom and acquiesce with little or no demur to the hilarious addition to the load the team Is thus required to pull. And now and then the merry coaster has the very de cided advantage of sliding downhill and being hauled back by a passing delivery wagon or coal van. And accidents are miraculously few, when the number of op portunities are considered.
