We are deeply interested in all happenings of this kind and like to get the news early in 01 der to be prepared for the next. Some persons have heen circulpting the report this the McKinley club of this city a secret organization. There is no truth whatever in the statement. All mentings pi the club are public and every one is cordially invited to attend. Ira Cossell, the well known Santa Fo engineer, has just returned from a visit to different localities in Indiana and Illinois and says McKinley is far in the lead in those states.

In the city of Terra Hante he saw displayed in the windows of private dwellings three pictures of McKinley to one of Brynn. Absence from town prevented our attendance at the Bryanite meeting addreased by Messrs. Bush and Oyler. We understand the hall was well filled. Ogler is said to be and quite naturally the smoother talker, but we will take the risk of saying that Bush knows a whole lot the most of the two, Mrs.

Hatcher and Airs. Dunning: ton will have a full hue of the latest style millinery goods for fall and winter for sale in Coolidge at an early date.

THE DEATH ROLL. JAMES R. STARKEY. The people of this community were sadly shocked last Tuesday to learn of the dangerous illness of J. R.

Starkoy, register of deeds for this county, and when his death was shortly afterwards announced universal grief saddened the hearts of our citizens. Mr. Starkey was born in Roscoe, Ohio, February 15, 1860, came to this county with his mother and brothers in 1886, where they settled on government land north of Syracuse in Liberty township where he tollowed the cecupation of a farmer, varied gecasionally by employment in mercantile business in Syracuse. In 1893 he received the nomination of the Republican party for the office of register of deeds and was elected by a good jority and re elected in 1895. In 1894 he was married to Ming Fannie Davis, of Syracuse, a most estimable young lady.

His death at the early age of 36 years, when before seemed to spread a long life of usefulness is sincerely regretted. Early in life he came imbued with Christian piety and at the age of 16 years became a member of the M. E. choirch and since then has led the life of 8. Christian in the letter and in the spirit.

He was a dutiful son. a loyal husband, a good citizen, a true friend, an upright man his life through, and although he has passed away his example will not be lost upon the community where his brief life work was wrought; for a good man dies, I For years beyond our ken, The light he leaves behind him lies Upon the paths of men" to show them the way to that full and complote happiness that is the reward of Christien character and the practice of Christian virtues. For the young wife and child for whom he has so tenderly cared have no adequate words of comfort. For a heart so sorely wounded there 18 no balm other than the softening influences of time and the overflowing goodness of God. And the mother, who nursed him in the days of infancy and saw him grow to become her stay and sapport, how poor is langnage and how worthless words to comtort her.

Only this can we is not for long." The years are not many before she, too. will pass through the gates of the Setting sun and come again to her own. Mr. Starkey's funeral occurred in Syracuse on Wednesday, Kev. Bicknell preaching an appropriate discourse in the presence of a lurge concourse of people.
