WHEREAS. In the inscrutable progress
of events. our comrade w. HAYWARD
FOWLER by death, was taken from our

DRY;
Therefore be 1t resolved, That while we
accept the decree of the unknowable will
in thus removing him, yet we can but re-
greet that in the strength of his young
manhood. in that first fullness of summer
which succeeds the spring-tide of youth,
ne received the summons none may DIS
obey. Industrious, honest. and reliable in
all affairs a business; he was good citi-
zen. and gave promise OF a life OF useful
ness which he was not permitted to fulfill.
No better tribute to his kindly character
can be gwen than the words of his SORROW
ing parents HE was good and dutlful
son and never gave us any trouble"
Resolved further. That in his too early
death we have lost one. who. had his health
and business permitted, would have been
one OF our most reliable and active men,
bers; and that our profoundest sympathy is
rendered his parents and relatives In their
grief and distress. May he rest in peace.
After he has answered the last great roll
call may he stand perfect inspection.

Mr.. Charley O'Donnel and family
left Oh Monday evening by the Par
goud for New Orleans, where they will
reside in the future. Mr.. O'Donnel
regretted very much in having to
move his family from our town, but
on account of his levee contracts be-
ing in the lower district and having
enough of work on hand to keep him
there, he wanted his family near him.
Before he left though. he purchased

Hoods Calendar for 1896 is out aud
it is greatly admired. Many pro-
nounce "the handsomest yet" 1t con-
sists of the head of a beautiful young
woman in an oval panel with stylish
gold frame. The background and pad
are printed in harmonious brown
tints. The remarkable growth of the
editions of Hoods Calendars from one
million copies few years ago to over
thirteen millions for 1896 is only par.
alleled by the Nonderful advance in

On the goth inst. young Harvard
Fowler passed away after a brief ILL
ness, in the freshness of young man
hood aud with life before him. 1t
seems strange sometimes that the
young have to be taken away, but
such is the mysterious will of God.
He was good boy, obedient and
respectful to his parents and attentive
to bis business. His good mother was
heard to say, as she leaned over his
coffin, that he had never in his life
given her a cross word. Very few
mothers can say this of their sons
Harvard was a great help to his father,
and his strong arm will be greatly
missed. He was popular among the
young men, good natured and temper
ate. The Banner-Democrat extends
to the bereaved family its heartfelt
sympathy in the hour of trouble.

in MEMORY OF j. NJ. KENNE-
DY, JR.

We do not mean to write an obituary of
young Joe Kennedy. 1t seems. dreadful,
almost, to mention his name now that il is
made holy by1death but the loss of him is
felt so keen by those that knew him, aud
SO tragicaly by the family that loved him,
that we cannot help from offering this
tribute OF since respect to his memory.
Few of us will ever forget him; his
power as an orator. his steadfastness as q
friend. bis selfcontrol as sufferer, his
bravery and his manliness.
Then when we think of him AS he was,
we realize that though dead. be still liveth.
We realize that that.vivid personality has
not beensextingmshedl like a torch. We re-
alize that that young life has not gone out
into darkness and oblivion. Thank God
we realize that though Joe Kennedy has
passed through the death change, he has
not ceased to exist. Christ's love and
Christ's crucifxion. have ovecome the
sharpness of death,
The shaft of Joe Kennedy's lite is ike q
broken column. We look back upon it and
ask. What would it have been? How
would he have used those gifts Of intellect
and character with which God 80 plent
eously endowed him. We ask this. ane
then we remember how he did use them
how that strength which would have en-
abled HIM to be leader of men, enabled
him to bear maniully, without murmuring
long hours of suffering, and finally t.
meet death.
"They also serve which only stand ant
watt Joe Kennedy. SO fitted for activ,
life, learned this hard lesson, and the prac
teal acceptance of this truth made him sub
lime.
To the grief-strickened family, Judg
and Mrs. Kennedy, and to their children
we offer our heartfelt sympathy.

The ball passed through his head just back
of the eyes, binding him.
Soon afterward poison in small doses
was administered, from the effects of
which he died last May. His wife was
convicted of murder and sentenced to life
imprisonment. After the mother was sent
to the penitentiary Cora began writing to
her, and in one letter told how she had
assisted in poisoning her father, and i'm
plicated her aunt, Mrs. Ellen Leader. She
said she was willing to pay the penalty.

OMAHA, NEBR., March 3O-A special to
the Bee from Fender, Nebr, says that
trouble on the Winnebago reservation over
the Flournoy Cattle Company leases bids
fair to result in bloodshed to-day. Sheriff
Muffin went out on the reservation last
night and returned to-day with white
man under arrest, who assisted the Indian
police IN electing settler, and at once re-
turned to the agency to arrest the Indian
police Tor whom he has warrants
1t is bel1eved that the police will resist
arrest and the outcome is awaited here with
great anxiety.
Captain Beck, the Indian agent, has been
instructed from Washington to swear in
all the men necessary to eject the settlers,
but what move he made to-day is not
known.
The Sheriff returned tonight. He says
that the deputy United States Marshal re-
ported to have gone there to swear in more
men did not show up at Winnebago to-day,
put Is somewhere on the reservation sery-
ing notlces on lessees to vacate. He says,
however, that Captain Beck advised him
not to attempt to arrest any of the Indians
and also that Beck threatened to arrest
him, but did not do So He claims that
there were no signs of trouble and seems
to be OF the impression that all of the talk
OF Beck intending to eject lessees by force
IS CANNON. The report is his arrest
caused citizens to talk of raising a COM
pany to rescue him, but all is quiet now.
