Mary Anna Weber, mention ̂ whose death wan made in these columns last week, was the daughter of Stephen John and Antoinette Bantes. She wap born at Johnsburgh, 111., oritFanuary 17, |846<, she ®rew to wom^hood smd on May 15, 1873, she was united in laarriage to Antop Weber, who had preceded her across the dark shores to the land of everlasting sunshine and bliss. Her hua&aad passed away March SI, 1902. - After her n^arriage she came «o Ma- Henry to reside and has made this vil­ lage her home ever since. Sfhe was the mother of six children, of which number two are dead. The living chil­ dren are Peter H., who conducts the Northwestern hotel and buffet on the West Side; Katie and Gertrude, who have always been j^t heme with their mother, and Mrs. Jacob Miller at Zen- da, Wis. The death of this good woxqan came most suddenly and the family was not aware of the se riousness of her illness until a oouple of days before she an­ swered to her Master's call. She first complained of not feeling well the Sat­ urday evening preceding her death. Every aid was given her by medical skill and loving children, but in spite of all that was accomplished she passed peacefully away on the morning of October 19. The deceased was one of those ex­ ceptionally kind women that have done so much to better this world of ours. She was born and raised a true Cath­ olic and has always lived a life con­ forming with the teachings of that faith. She was a member of the Mar­ ried Ladies' Sodality of St. Mary's church here and has always been a most zealous worker. To her family she was a loving and devoted mother and her departure is keenly felt, espe- oially by the two daughters who have always resided with her. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic church here laat Sat­ urday morning at nine o'clock. Rev. A. Royer, pastor of the church, per­ formed the last ssd rites. The body was followed to its last resting place in St. Mary's cemetery by a large con­ course of sorrowing relatives and friends, who extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved ones. The floral offerings were qtost beautiful. CARD OF TSANKS.

After a general discussion the major­ ity were in favor of having the fair the last week in August and the secretary waa ordered to. fix upoja that time, pro­ vided it did not interfere too seriously with other doings in the nearby towns.

I have no exouses to offer for the management or mismanagement of the 1911 fair. All of the officers labored unceasingly to make the fair a success, but the things that^ worked against it were impossible for human hands to overcome. I had made,a mark to pay off at least $1000.00 of the fair's in­ debtedness and had the weather been favorable and scandal mongers had had their tongues chained to keep from maliciously* and wilfully knocking the town and the fair, my ambitions would have been more than gratified. I would suggest that another year the fair be held in August at a time when the summer resorts in our ooun­ ty are filled with city people. I would suggest that horse racing be either eliminated or reduced to such an ex­ tent AS to sut down the, MMMM ma­ terially. 1 believe that this year's fair demoMtrftted thai" the people cure We %re against a serious problem to work out thej^ture \jinancial success of the fair, but I am satisfied that a couple of years' favorable weather condition, with good management, would reduce the indebtedness so as to be easy of final solution. I still believe that the people of "th(6 oounty want a fair. I also beiieve that with the expenses cut down and with the amounts limited for amusements the receipts should far exceed the expen­ ditures. It is my further belief that when we get the additional transpor­ tation facilities, which seem to be as­ sured from "the southwest; our attend­ ance will be increased enough to make success sure. In conclusion I wish to thank all of the officers and superintendents for the loyal support that they have given me in trying to make this year's fair a suocess. The fadr iraq a suocess in every respect except the finances and for that no one was to blame, except circumstances over whi6h we had no control. The time and efforts I have given to the fair have been a personal sacrifice to me and I am in hopes that you will find some one who has more time and who is better adapted for this kind of a job than I. With best wishes for your future success, I remain, THEO. HAMKR, Seoretary. LEPTUXJ! COURSE PTNUEX.
