William G. Gossler, father of Hra

Wintermeier, died at tlie home of the
latter In Eugene Wednesday, March. 20,
1918. Mr. Gossler had been ill for some ,
time. The body is at the Gordon and
Veateh chapel and funeral arrangements
await the arrival of a daughter, Mrs. W.
H. Curtis, of Cherokee, Iowa. The in
terment will be in the Odd Falows ceme-
' 'A TRIBUTE. ' '
The timo comes to all of ns when those
we loved, quietly pass through that cur
tain of twilight we call death. We who
are left behind and in life called him
father and friend take pleasure in listen
ing to tl e memories he left behind. And
when mi the 30th day of March, 1918,
the spirit: of William H. Gos.j'-r was
called by its Maker from its material
abode, and all that waa mortal was laid
to rest by true and loving hands, to some
it may appear that he has gone forever,
but to those who knew him his memory
will ever be a Jiving thing.
Mr. Gossler was born at Banbury,
Fens., in 1834. On August 21, 1868, at
Lower Augusta, Pena, he married Char
lotto Weaver. In the early part of their
married life they moved to. southeastern
Iowa, which at that time waa a wilder
ness. But there came to him now and
then a few words of a wonderful country
on the Pacific coast. The wonderful
posibllities of the Oregon soil and cli
mate found a responsive cord in him, and
from that time to his dying day there has
never been a more ardent lover of the
magnificent Willamette valley. In 1892
he began to prepare for the Journey to
the Padfio coast, and in the spring of
1898 he started for that country that he
loved. And yet, his Journey waa one of
sorrow, for Just prior to his departure he
lost that true companion whom he hoped
to win back to health in this new won
derful country. Mrs. Gossler died on
the 22nd day of February, 1893, and her
body is laid at rest at Ida Grove, Iowa.
Upon his arrival -at Eugene, Or., he
purchased a farm. This farm he sold in
1900 and after investing in Springfield
and Eugene property he retired from
active work. Since 1904 he has made
bis home with his daughter, Mrs. C. A.
Wintermeier.
Mr. Gossler started In life without i
dollar, but by his fine business qualifica
tions made a success of every enterprise
in which he was engaged in.
He loved bis wife with a lore that is
seldom surpassed and his constancy to
her memory was characteristic of his love
for her, when living and after her death
he lived for his children, and no thought
that would in any manner reflect upon
the welfare of his children ever found
itself in his mind.
Mr. Gossler professed the Christian
religion and was a life-long member of
the Methodist church. He died as he
had lived, loving and loved by his chil
dren and cheered by their presence at his
bedside and trusting in the saving power
of Christ he peacefully laid down his
tired body and went to rest beside his
youngest son, William H. Gossler, Jr.
The funeral services will be conducted
at the Gordon and Veatch chapel upon
the arival of Mrs. Curtis from Iowa, by
Rev. J. T. Abbott, of Portland, and Rev.
George H. Parkinson, of this city.
He leaves to mourn his loss the follow
ing children: Nelson B., Philip M.,
Emoiy W., Mrs. B. F. Goodpasture and
Mrs. C. A. Wintermeier, all who live in
and near Eugene; Mrs. D. P. Day, of
Bellinghum, Wash., and Mrs. M. H. Cur
tis, of Cherokee, Iowa. Besides the sons
and daughters he leaves 23 grandchildren
and two great-grandchildren. He will be
lsid to rest in the I. O. O. F. cemetery.
AMUSEMENTS
ENGLISH OPERA COMING
The BoBton English Opera company,
which by its excellent work during Its
four months run in Chicago, haa become
the talk of the musical world, comes to
the Eugene Theatre, Wednesday, March
27.
In spite of the many attempts during
recent years, it remained for this organ
IzaJtion to prove that opera could be pre
sented by a capable company, and per
formances of the standard operas given
in so creditable a manner as to leave
little to be desired. It has shown that
proper business arrangement, combined
with the art of knowing how, can give
the public real performances of opers at
prices ithey can afford.
With such artistis as Joseph F. Shee
han, John W. Warren. Hasel Eden,
Florentine St. Clair, Elaine De Sellem,
Alice May Carley, Arthur Deane, Fran
cis J. Tyler, W. R. Northway and many
others, there can be no doubt aa to the
excellence of the performance, particu
larly when augmented by a chorus such
as one seldom hears nowadays, it is not
surprising ghat the advent of this organ
isation in the west haa proved Just as
welcome, and Is the talk of theatrical
circles here, aa it was in the cast, during
its four months season in Chicago.
The press and public of San Francisco
endorsed the verdict of the east and pro
claimed the Boston English Opera com
pany America's finest singing organiia-tlon.
What opera would Eugene like to
have II Trovatore, Martha or lioho
nilan Girl? Write manager of Eugene
Theatre and let him know your choice.

"A Man's Man," which is the first
l'arnlta production to be phown, and
which stars the popular flim favorite,
J, Warren Kerrigan.
Peter B. Kyno, author of "A Mau'n
Man," has a hnppr faculty of wrltln
stories that not only grip you In the
reading, but which make corking picture
plays. "A Man's Man" is no exception.
It has been adroitly adapted to the
screen by Tom Geraghty.
The story carries one to South Amer
ica, where a one-cylinder republic de
mands the attention of a Yankee like
Kerrigan. He gets mixed up in any
number of fights, and shows himself a
scrapper. Indeed, the first thing in
which it appears' a man should qualify
nowadays for screen work is a course
in athletics. Mr. Kerrigan knows how
to fight in more picturesque ways than
even Douglas Fairbanks, and ho has
something of that gentleman's cheery
insouciance while doing it.
But moat of all, "Jack" Kerrigan
has at last an opportunity to prove
himself the actor he really is, virile,
forceful, yet conveying a fine sense of
the dramatic We shall look forward to
great things from Mr. Kerrigan. Lois
Wilson is the charming heroine, daugh
ter of the president of the South Amer
ican country.
The story is full of strong situations,
smashing climaxes, real originality of
plot. In fact, no fan can afford to miss
it. It is told With wonderful clearness,
and the photography demands s para
graph all to itself.
The cast is an excellent one, and. in
cludes Kenneth Harlan, Ed Coxen, Ida
Lewis (who does gome really wonderfi'l
work as "Mother Jenks"), Harry von
Meter, Eugene Pallette, Ernest Pasiuo,
Arthur Allardt, Joseph J. Dowllng, John
Stepping and Wallace Worsley. To be
seen at the Eugene theatre Friday and
Saturdoy, March 22-23.
