MRS. JAMES K. POLK.
Death Of the Ex-President's wido
 at Nashville.

Death of the Ex-President,s Widow at Nashville.
 NASHVILLE, Tenn, August 14.-Mrs
 James K. Polk, widow of the tenth Presi- dent of the United States, died at 7:30 this 1 morning at her home in this city.
 Mrs. Polk had been in perfect health un- til last Wednesday evening, when, on re- suddenly ill, and never rallied. The cause
 of her death was simply exhaustion re- sulting from old age. No arrangements
 regarding the burial have been decided on. The maiden name of Mrs. Polk was Sarah Childress, and she was born near Murfreeshoro, Rutherford county, Tenn,
 on the 4th of September, 1903, so that she
 was within 8 month of the completion of her eighty-eighth year. Her father, Joel Childress, owned a prosperous farm and
 sent his daughter to be educated at the
 Moravian institute at Salem, N. c. Upon her return home she married James K. Polk, who was then a member of the Ten
 nessse legislature. The following year he
 was elected to congress, where he
 served for fourteen sessions, and
 during those years Mrs. Polk occu- pied very prominent position in Wash ington society, winning general favor and
 admiration by her courteous and pleasing
 manners, her many accomplishments and
 her unfailing tact. When she became the
 mistress of the white house she held week ly receptions and abolished the custom of giving refreshments to the guests. She also forbade dancing, as unbecoming these entertainments, but incurred no loss of popularity thereby. On the con- trary, her dilgent, cheerful and grace ful discharge of all the duties of her po- sition made new friends for her in all di-
 rections. Madame" said distinguished South Carolinian to her, "there is woe pronounced against you in the Bible, | shall speak we'll of you" She WAS hand
 some woman, distinguished in style, car
 riage, and address, well qualified in every
 way for the high station which she occu pied.
 Mrs. Polk became communicant of the
 Presbyterian church in 1884, and was
 member of that denomination at her
 death. During the forty years of her wid-
 owhood she lived in the Polk place at
 Nashville in dignifed and easy retirement,
 retaining to the last the esteem and good
 will of all her neighbors, and receiving voluntary tributes of respect from visitors from all parts of the country. In old age
 she preserved the courteous and social in-
 stincts which made her so charming @ hostess, and her death removes one of the last surviving examples of what was best in the womanhood of an almost forgotten generation,

FARMERS ASKED FOR MONEY.
A One-Cent Assessment for the Peo
 p1e's Party in Kansas.


 p1e's Party in Kansas.
 TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 14.-Only S1,100 was expended by the Peoples state central committee last fall in campaign which elected five congressman, eighty-four legis- lators, United States senator and a majority of the county tickets. This fall the committed has decided to expend s1O,- 900. Every man who voted for Willets will be asked to contribute one cent to the central committee. It will come through the county central committees, and where 2,000 votes were cast for Willets, the county committee will forward S20 to the state committee, which will be turned over to J. B. French, secretary of the state all iance.
 A committee of three members from the Peoples central committee will advise with French in regard to expenditures The selection of an alliance state officer to handle the funds shows that the Peoples party and the alliance will be more close ly identified in the campaign this fall than they were last. The campaign will be conducted on the principle that the voters who contribute one cent can be depended upon to do better work than the voter bought for $100.
