Book-Keeper Resigns.
Miss Mary Walker the efficient
book-keeper at the Bank of Beaver
City who hastcrvcd so fuith.ully and
io capably In that capacity for tho past
few years resicned her position Satur
day and is now enjoying a real rest so
much deserved.
During her servica in tho Bank ol
Beaver City her work has been so sat-
isfactorily that it was with a great
deal of reluctance that the officials of
that inst tution accepted her resigna-
tion. Slio has always been found
willing and capable and with an eye
single to the interest of the institution
vhose bonks si.e managed with accura-
cy ard neatness one whose services
were appreciated and whose absence
will bo felt.
A Keal Snow Storm.
A snow storm that was the real thing
bwept down on us Tliurrday niRlit of
last week nnd marked the heaviest
snowfall and cold wave of the winter.
The storm came up sudd nly on the
night of the 13th and continued most
of tho following day. The snowfall
was quite heavy and was accompanied
by n nigh wind which drif'cd it badly.

Tho moisture will bo of benefit to

Put in a Crossing.
We understand a petition will be
presented to tlio City "Dads" at their

If there ever was a crossing that was
needed it is this one. At this point)
the street is very muddy at a wet time
the covering being ted dirt nnd one
must wade shoe mouth deep to pass
from ono side of tho street to the
other
Since tho post office has been moved
to this localltf it makes the need for u
crossing all tuu moro urgent. It is to
bo hoped that the petition will bo

John W.
McCool Dead.
n Old Soldier and Honorable
Citizen Passed Vway Fri-
day of Last xVqek.
Tho -community was shocked on
Friday of lnt week when it was nn-
ununeed t i.ii John V. MoUool of
Riverside one of Heaver County's fore-
most and honorable citizens had pasted
away at an early hour .iftor a linger-
ing and painful illness of neuralgia
and complications of a few weeks
duration.
We could write columns of this
worthy man as a citizen neighbor
husband father and friend and when
we had expended all that lays within
our power to laud the memory of sch
n noble hero there would yet be un-
told columns left unsaid which might
truly have been said of him as n man.
The esteem in which he is held by
all was manifest by the universal sor-
row which followed the news of his
demiso. Ho was honored bolovcd and
cherished bj all and his passing will be
felt for years to come His good
sound advice and logical judgment
will bo lacking in future political and
business circles of which he was n fac-
tor for good. His was a life well spent
in service to his God his country and
his family nnd ho lived to n ripo old
age thrco scoro and ten to enjoy the
blessings of a life well spent.
The grief-stricken wife who is nlso
nearing life's sunset has the sympathy
of a host of friunds in her deep
borcavpment is well as also the child-
ren who are deprived of tho lovo and
counsel of a kind and indulgent father.
OniTUART.
Died On February 13 1008 John
W. McCool of Rivcrsids aged 70 years.
Funeral services were held at tlio farm
resilience on Sundny February ID
1008 and burial service unUor tlio
Masonic Ritual at tho Beaver ceme-
tery Sunday evening.
Joljp W. McCool was born in Ve-
rango C-ounty P nsylvania in 1838.
and received a common scnool edu-
cation. .
On September 21. 1801 he enlisted in
!ompnny Ii lOJrd Regiment Ponnnyl
vnnla Infantry and was discharged at
fortress Monroe Virginia on tho 8lh
lay of March 1833 by reason f disa.
oility and wound in right kpeo
He recovered Ills health and e-
enlisted in February 1801 in the 188th
Pennsylvania Infantry nnd nerved un-
til June 180') when ho was discharged
by rea-on of wound in left nip
Afier tlic war ho came west and be-
. mill' one of the o rly settler o' Bca-
or County then known in "No Mini's
Land" and has re.-ided here ever
liuee. When Beavor County was at-
tached to old Oklahoma Governor
.Steele appointed Mr. McCool as the
first sheriff of tills county a position
he leld until after thu iirst general
election.
It was while holding this office that
Mr. McCool had an ndventuro which
came near ending his life nnd endured
suffering which few men could have
passed through and lived. At some
future time wo may wrlto nn account
of it.
John W. McCool was n farmer nnd
stock raiser and made a success of it.
Ho suffered privations nnd hardships
along with t) o balance of tho old Bot-
tlers of' Beaver County without ccm-
plalnt lie was culled on to Jill many
leading positions in his county nnd was
always a lender In his own neighbor-
hood Ho has many staunch friundi
nnd made somo enemies us every man
will who amounts to very inu-h. Ho
sold tho old homestead Inst spring and
had just completed a comfortable rem
deuce in which ho hoped to spend
some happy (lavs with his wife child-
ren and prandohildren to cheer him.
But man proposes and God disposes.
Comrado McCool was n member of
Oklahoma Post No. 4 G. A. R. and
has llllud almost every office in tho
Post with lidollty nnd honor. Ho was
also a Mas n and wo think of tho A.
O. U W. Ho was a member of tho
Christian Church and was always
zealous in any work for thn Master.
Well our comrado has answuroi the
last roll call and it is certain that wo
old soldiers must aoon answer roveillo
in tho eternal bivouac beyond tho
river where we can sing the glad song
"War shall bo no moro. wo havo
reached the shore safely reached tho
last grand camping grounds."
