obituary
MRS. HENRY MUEssE

In Lancaster. March 81. 1898, Mrs.
Eliza Muesse died. aged fifty:years md
five months.
Mrs. Henry Muesse was born N
London. the daughter of Thomas and
Susan Reynolds. October SIst 1912
Here the first ten years Of her child
hood were spent, giving her memories
and habits never to be forgotten.
With her parents coming to America
in 1852. settling at Cleveland. Ohio.
and a year and half later coming to
Lancaster, the child. Eliza, grew to
womanhood at Lancaster. The. family
at first lived on farm and the district
school continued the education begun
in London. Later she attended the
Lancaster schools and afterward
taught scnool several terms.
Her marriage. Oct Is, 1860, to Henry
Muesse, was an event which established
here pleasant and prosperous home.
MIR. MuesSe was, at the time of his
marriage, contractor and builder, in
which business he continued till 1873,
when he established also q lumber
business.
They have a large family of bright
and handsome children who rise up to
bless their parents; the older members
are already engaged in affairs distant
from home.
This fact made il impossible for them
to be much with their mother during
her long illness. Last year at one time
they we're all here, fearing their moth
ers danger.
krs. Muesse's illness has ebeen of
long duration srd seemed to be chiefly
nervous prostration. She was bright
active woman, member of the Epis-
copal church, devoted mother TO her
children. 1t is loss and sorrow too
sad for words to express that one so
needed in this world should be prema-
turely called to the next.
The children away reached home
before the funeral. Her eldest daughter
is Mrs. Prof. Z. NJ. Wood, of Baldwin
Kansas. Harry l.. is with her and at
tending college there. taking the law
course. The eldest son.. John II. is
book keeper in q Minneapolis lum-
Der firm. The second daughter Hattie,
IS Mrs. Frank Nathan Of West Superior.
The younger children at home are
Frank. Susie and Ralph. The heart
felt sympathy of their large circle OF
friends is with the bsreaved husband
and family and her aged mother who
has been with them many years.

CHARLES RYAN.

Charles Ryan, son of James Ryan of
North Andover, died very suddenly on
Friday night Of last week. He had
been in his usual health all day. and
had been working in the field Toward
evening he remarked to his father that
he would leave the work he was en-
gagged in and 60 and do the chores. A
younger brother was assisting him, and
in passing a door to one of the stables
beheld Charley lying on the floor in an
unconscious condition. He at once
called for help and the unfortunate
young man was carried into the house.
Medical aid was summoned and every
thing possible was done to save his life,
but in vain. The doctor pronounced it
epilepsy in its severest form, and the
young man passed from one fit into
another until death relieved his suffer-
ings. Several years ago he received a
kick from horse on the side of his
head, breaking his Jaw and severely
injuring him in other ways, since which
time he has suffered more or less at
times with bis head
Charley was a good, sober, industri-
Gus young man, faithful son and a
kind and loving brother, ana the family
have the heartfelt sympathy Of the en-
tire community in their sad bereave-
ment

REBECCA TAYLOR.
Again has death been in our mids,
and laid his icy finger upon one we
have long known and respected. Miss
Rebecca Taylor passed from earth Sat
urdsy. April 8. after long illness. She
was born in Pennsy lvania Dec. "a, 1914,
aud came to Wisconsin in 1849 and has
since resided in this state. She never
married, but her life was spent in devo-
ton to those she loved who were
dependent upon her. A helpless sister
was tenderly cared for by her until a
few years ago death relieved her of the
burden.
"Aunt Becky" as she was Familiarity
and afiectionately called, early pro-
fessed the Christian faith and Joined the
Baptist church in her youthful DAYS,
and has always been a faithful and
consistent Christian, and her faith gre W
brighter as she neared her heavenly
home. Kind friends ministered to her
during her last illness, and for every
act of kindness she was truly thankful.
About four years ago she fell, breaking
her hip, and has since been cripple,
yet she did not complain and always
had pleasant word and smile fol
everyone.
The funeral services were held on
Monday at the Baptist church, Revs
Jackman and Nuzum ofliciating, and
the remains were inferred in what is
known as the Dodge cemetery

The Annexation Of Hawaii.

Relative to the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands, it is matter
which Congress should not be slow
to derermine. 1t is true that the
United States is not seeking more
territory, but if the people of a
country which is only weeks sail
from our port want to become citi-
Gems of the United States, and find
protection beneath the stars and
stripes, there seems no good reason
for declining to acquiesce to their
appeal. The welfare of the United
States demands an acceptance OF
the offer. lt would be hazardous
to the interests of our country to
allow the islands to fall into the
hands of England or Germany, both
of which countries have for many
years looked upon the islands with
covetous eyes, and have tried in
various ways to undermine the in
iluence Of the United States there
England is slyly and steadily. in.
truding upon our commercial inter.
ests in the islands, and absolute
annexation would be- an effectuaI
barrier to further encroachments.

Peter Jackson has temporarily
retired from the ring, and will soon
make his appearance as dramatic
star on the San Francisco boards
in the character of "Uncle Tom" in
Uncle Toms Cabin. A special COM
pany has been engaged to take part
with Peter in the play. A number
of actresses objected to support a
colored man on the stage, even if he
is a champion prize-fghter. There
is one advantage Peter will have
over the other members of the COM
pany, he will not have to lose any
time putting on burnt cork.
