Pipher is Dead.

Colonel John W. Pipher died early Monday at his home at 530 Pierre street, aged 78 years, 58 of which had been spent in Manhattan. He had been failing in health for three or four years and his death was not a surprise. He is survived by his wife and son, Harry, ana one sister, Mrs. G.

W. Brown. The body was buried Tuesday, Dr. C. O.

Kimball preaching the funeral at the Methodist church. John W. Pipher was a son of John Pipher, and came here with his father on a river boat, "The Hartford," in 1S55. John Pipher organized the original company of the Cincinnati and Kansas Land Company of 150 men. The original plan of this company was to have each man pay $1,000 and come to Kansas and lay out a city to be known as Manhattan.

They started on the "Hartford" by way of the Ohio. Mississippi, Missouri and Kansas rivers'; when they reached the mouth of the Kansas river that stream was so low that John Pipher, with" a companion, proceeded overland to where Junction City now is. Here they were at work laying out a town site, when the Hartford reached the junction of the Blue and the Kansas rivers. A party went over to where Mr. Pipher and his companion were laying out the town and induced them to return to the present site of Manhattan, which was known then as Bostcn.

The proprietors of the town of Boston offered the Cincinnati and Kansas Land Com-v pany half of the town site and agreed to adopt the name Manhattan, if they would stop here. The Ohio company agreed to this contract, which afterwards gave birth to an almost endless controversy over the land of the cicy. John Pipher was three times elected probate judge and three times elected police judge of the city. He was a member of the first city council. He was a staunch Methodist, and while enroute on tile Hartford organized a class which has grown to the present Methodist church of Manhattan, which now has more than 1,000 members.

The bell in the Methodist church here is the bell that was cn the Hartford. Comrade John A. Sterrett. There passed away on the morning of August 9 one of the members of Post No. 271 of the G.

A. R. at Manhattan, John A. Sterrett, who had been a member for nineteen years, and twice commander of the post. He enlisted in che 75th Ohio on September 5, 1861, and served until December 22, 1864, when he was mustered out.

He was first sergeant of company in his regiment. Death occurred at the home of his son, Orloff, ten miles south of Topeka, and was due to cancer of the stomach. He had gone to Topeka for medical treatment some weeks before. His great wish was that, he might get back among his old comrades again, but it was not per-mitted he was mustered out of earth's trials and struggles. Besides being a member of the post, he was also a member of the Masonic lodge and the Grange.

Many beautiful floral offerings were sent by these lodges and friends. Pall bearers from the Masons brought, the casket from the Union Pacific train to the post rooms, where services were held, and ihe veterans bore it from there to the last resting place in Zeandale cemetery. Rev. A. Docking' officiated.

Many neighbors and friends gathered here, as he had formerly lived in the community and was well known. A short service was held under the direction of the post. He was laid to rest beside his first wife and children. Comrade Sterrett was born at Hartley ville, Athens county, Ohio, March 14, 1841, and was about 72 1-2 veers old. He was twice married.

His first wife, with whom he was united on January 13, 1S59, at Athens, Ohio, Melissa Jane Dew. There were born to this union seven children, three daughters and four sons, all of whom exeeiit Tarl and Orloff have preceded him into the other world, as also their mother, who passed away July 81, 1905. He was married next to Mrs. Edith Honora Perry on July 5, 1907, who survives him, and whose privilege it was to care for him and cheer him during his last days. Besides the two sons, there remain five grandchildren and three great grandchildren to mourn his loss.

Precious memories are theirs, of this loving husband, affectionate father, and good neighbor.

The thirty-fifth annual camp-meeting of the First Society of State Spiritualists and Liberalists is being held p.t Delphos.

Several from Manhattan are in attendance. Jud Johnson writes in part as follows: The Delpohs camp is a nice place to stop, as there are amusements continually on the list. From nine in the morning till ten o'clock at night they are grinding out the spiritual grist. Everyone is busy each hour of the day reading or studying or exchanging of thought or giving messages from the loved ones gone that true knowledge may to us be brought. The lectures are fine.

They are hard to excel as the inspiration there given is devine. Everyone that 'hears them are all of one thought that the sentiments are truly" sublime. The music is grand as it inspires the soul and brings harmony to all that are here, and the philosophy that is taught from rostrum each day can be grasped without trembling and fear The "mediums are doing all that they can to relieve the mind vnd the aches and the pains, and good thoughts are given to all those that come, regardless of sunshine or rains. Delphos camp is one-half mile from the station with autos running to and from each train, and there is a wel-r-ome to all that wish to come here, that are seeking for true spiritual gain. are few now, these men who helpod maintain this Union, one and undivided, and kept the flag unsullied in '61-'65.

As they leave earth's battle ground and enter the peace and rest of the other side, may the memory of their service be tenderly cherished, and its message find its way into the hearts and lives of those who enjoy what they struggled to save. May the mighty purpose of Him who doeth all things well be unfolded to us as we turn history's pages, that we. realize that the march of its progress has been made obedient to the word of the Great Commander.
