Pilot is an account of the death of Mr. MEANOR's cousin, Jacob MYERS, who will be remembered by many of the older residents of this locality. "Jacob Myers, one of the most respected and highly esteemed citizens of the town of Farmington, died Friday, August 7. Several weeks ago he was stricken with paralysis and from that time he sank gradually until death claimed him. Mr. MYERS was born at Imperial, Allegheny Co., Penn., on November 4, 1849, and came to Wisconsin with his parents on October 38, 1849, and since that time he resided continually in Farmington. When the war broke out he enlisted in Co. A, Forty-fifth Wisconsin Vol. Inf., as a private, and later he was promoted to non-commissioned officer. At the close of the war he returned to Farmington and on April 10, 1866, he married Miss Jane LITTLE. The latter and two sons-Harvey of Milwaukee and Willard of Colby-survive him. Mr. MYERS was one of the most whole-souled gentlemen that we have ever had the good fortune to become acquainted with. He was an ideal husband and father, and as a neighbor was good and kind, ever ready and willing to as! sist wherever and whenever he could. He was a man beloved by all who knew him and his untimely death is regretted by his many acquaintances and friends. Deceased was a member of Andrew J. FULLERTON Post, G. A. R., of West Bend, the members of the post attending the funeral in a body and also conducting the services at the grave in their usual custom. The funeral took place Monday, Rev. HENNE conducting the services at the home. Interment was made in Union cemetery in West Bend. The very large attendance at the funeral attested to the high esteem in which the deceased was held in the community in which he resided nearly fifty years. To his bereaved widow and sons we extend our heartfelt sympathy." *Imperial column

Mrs. Minnie YATES, who was charged with the selling of liquor illegally, and who gained the sympathy of the attorneys, pleaded guilty to the charge Monday before Judge TAYLOR and sentence was suspended owing to the fact that her baby is ill in jail. It is understood that an effort will be made to get the woman and her small babe from jail. William AYRES was the prosecutor in the case. Mrs. YATES resides at the Shaw mines. Her case has attracted a great deal of sympathy, as it is stated that she was not in the liquor selling business, but that some thieves entered her cellar and carried off a keg of beer which she had purchased for her own use. It is alleged that she afterward found out who the guilty persons were and demanded that they pay her $1 for the beer, which they did. The charge was later brought and she was placed under arrest. She has been confined in jail now for some time. Mrs. YATES also pleaded guilty to assault and battery and was fined 6 ¼ cents and costs of prosecution.

The first was an appeal from Squire EATON's court for shooting in the borough April 1. The other was for assault on July 25. The last case was from Squire A. B. COCHRAN's court at McDonald at which MCCURDY waived a hearing and gave bond for his appearance at court. Judge TAYLOR sustained the charges and sentenced MCCURDY to pay all costs and bound him over to keep the peace for a year and a day in the sum of $500.

To Lists, I want to thank all of you who have helped me for several years trying to find Lois Astons birth date and place. Finally I asked British Ancestors to find it for me and Carol did just that. Most of you will remember I was almost positive she was born in 1852 because she was not with the family on the 1851 census, I was wrong. Some will remember she had a sister born 1850 (Lydia) and couldn't find Lois after that. To make a long story short I am putting the information here for those who might be researching the ASTONS or the BIBEYS. Registration District - Monmouth Sub-district of - Coleford Counties of - Gloucester When Born - 7 November 1849 Where Born - West Dean Name - Lois Sex - Girl Name and surname of Father - James ASTON Name surname and maiden name of Mother - Eliza Aston formerly JOHNSON Occupation of Father - Woodcutter Description and residence of informant - The mark of X Eliza Aston- Mother- West Dean When registered - 19 December 1849 I had sent to all Lists earlier but forgot that I had unsubscribed while I went on vacation and didn't subscribe back. It just dawned on me why I didn't get my e-mails returned today. It takes awhile for us old people. Anyway, thanks to all. Alice California

The History of a Boom How It Began, Grew Great, and Withered, in a Day Thirty Thousand Dollars for a Glass Plant Raised on McDonald's Streets on a Day's Notice.-But Not This Plant This Time Will Get It, But Some Other Plant Some Other Time. A glass works is forced to move by high fuel rates and taxes. They said they would bring their works to McDonald if our people would buy from a tract the company would get here one hundred lots at $400 each. The works would employ not less than 250 and maybe as many as 500 men. Half of these would be skilled workmen getting $5 or so a day. The company's monthly pay-roll has been for years about $10,000 a month. The managers liked McDonald for two things-the good and cheap fuel and water. The company paid for fuel last month $1560. This money would be paid to McDonald coal miners, for coal would bee the fuel here. The company would get sixteen acres from Edward MCDONALD lying in a block just north of the Catholic church and running from Station across Third and Fourth Sts.; and in this were the hundred lots. The money from the lot sale would be put in one of the McDonald banks, and when the glass company would have done what they said they would do, the money would be paid to them. If the company would not have their plant set up and running by September next, the money would be returned to the lot buyers. There was no risk to the lot-buyer; if the plant came, he bought the lot; if it didn't, he got his money back. The lots were worth the price any day, plant or no plant. The lots would be sold for cash, or for $100 down, $100 in six, $100 in nine, and $100 in twelve months. It was suggested that the buyers draw lots for the lots they get. The plant would cover 8 acres, and would likely be in the East End bottom. They thought to build one "twelve-pot" and two "ten-pot" furnaces. The facts given above wee put before a citizen's meeting Tuesday night by Chairman C. R. BUCHHEIT. Mr. Edward MCDONALD, Mr. HOEY, Mr. T. T. GILLESPIE and others spoke at the meeting saying what a boon such a plant would be. Several present said they would take lots, and the chairman appointed P. HOEY, F. F. FRENCH, Henry ROGERS, Richard GLADDEN and E. S. MCWREATH a committee to go around and see if they could sell the hundred lots. The committee named walked about on Wednesday and Thursday, and the following citizens and firms signed a paper, wishing to take lots: P. HOEY, John M. ABRAHAM, Henry ROGERS, D. L. WILLIAMS, C. R. BUCHHEIT, W. H. YOUNG, Pierre MATHIEU, A. C. FORINGER, J. R. GLADDEN, F. F. FRENCH, J. C. MAY, A. VALENTOUR, E. S. MCWREATH, Richard GLADDEN, S. H. COOK, J. P. SCOTT, Samuel SHANE, S. S. JOHNS, MCCARTY & ROBB, W. T. REED, J. A. BASTIAN, C. R. POTTER, G. S. CAMPBELL, G. J. BUCHHEIT, F. L. ROBBINS (5 lots), Neil MCGINLEY, James J. DONAHUE, Thos. GILLESPIE, S. D. JONES, T. WALKER, Geo.

WEITZEL, Sr., R. M. CONLEY, James ROBB, Wm. O'BRIEN, J. S. JOHNSTON & Co., J. G. COOK Well-here was $30,000 subscribed to bring here the glass plant. And on Friday Edward MCDONALD and C. R. BUCHHEIT went to tell the glass men to come on; and the glass men backed square down-said they couldn't come at all. And that is the end of this story. But it shows how easy it is to get $30,000 in McDonald for such a thing. And this will be useful again. The McDonald Board of Trade desires to thank the public for their cordial support in this matter. The Board will now try to have a branch of the Lake Erie Railroad run here from Montour via the Champion valley.
