that Mrs. G. G. Clawson, of Bon
ANA is quite feeble this fall. We
learn that she has been taken
out to Ketchum, and from there
will go to New Mexico to spend
the winter with relatives.
Little Anna d. Willis is dead |.
This is sad news to chronicle.
She was taken away in a very
few hours sickness, at her home
in Pocatello, Idaho, on Saturday,
October 26, 1895. The little child
was about z years of age. Little
Anna was the daughter of Frank
B. Willis, who used to reside in
Challis. and the little girl was
born here, but its mother died
when it was but an infant, and
the child was caeed for in Salt
Lake City by its grandmother
until about three years ago.
Little Anna was the pride of its
fathers heart, and this will be
a sad blow % Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lis, and they have the sympathy
OF their many friends in this com
munity in their bereavement. A
bright gem has been called to
heaven in its spotless innocence.
Little Anna was a handsome and
and bright child. and was dearly
beloved by all who knew her. 1t
seems cruel that one so young
and fair should be summoned, but
there is one consolation, we know
that the angel form is ''Safe In
the Arms of Jesus" For Christ
said: Suffer Little Children to
Come Unto Ne, for such is the
Kingdom of Heaven.
The remains of Charles J.
Farley. who died of pneumonia
at Holy Cross hospital on Friday,
October, %. 1895, were buried in
the Catholic cemetery on the fol-
lowing morning. A requiem
mass was celebrated at the cath
edral at 9 o'clock, Rev. Father
lO'Mahoney preaching the funer-
al sermon. The casket was Gov
cred with floral offerings, and
several carriages filed with
friends followed it to the grave.
Deceased was 3S years old, and
a native of Albany, n. Y, and
had been 10 years in the West,
engaged in mining at different
points. He spent the last eight
years at Bayhorse, Idaho, where
he made many friends by his
good qualities. He was a broth
er of Hiss Julia Farley, for years
a trusted nurse in the family of
10. J. Salisbury. and his last
hours were soothed by the low
ing ministrations of his sister,
Salt Lake Herald.
This is sad news to the many
friends of Mr.. Farley in Custer
county where he resided so long.
The deceased was cut down In
the prime of life without warn
ling. When he left here about a
month ago he was the picture of
health. The relatives of the de-
ceased have the sympathy of
host of friends in this portion of
Idaho where he was so well and
favorably known.
Senator Chandler says war be-
tween the United States aid
England is inevitable. It will
a. ise ON account of British diSIe-
gard of our direct interests. 1t
will also be forced by British
encroachments upon other ma
taions all over the world. Ii will
be fought by us, having Russia
as a European ally. AS a war Of
fensive on our part it may not
happen within twenty years; as
a defensive war it may come
sooner and should be welcomed.
The sure result would be the
capture and permanent acquisi-
ton of Canada by the United
States. England proposes to
seize from the United States a
a portion of Alaska. She is de-
stroying independent govern
ments in all parts of the globe.
She treats American sentiment
with disdain and remonstranceS
with insolence and defiance. For
the vindication of the Monroe
doctrine in the western hemis-
phere and the protection of these
Independent governments in the
eastern hemisphere and the
islands of the oceans. it is neces-
sary that the United States
should prepare for war with
England. 1t had better come
now and be over with than 20
years from now. We ought to
define our position and say that
/ if not aSsented 10 we shall fight
TO maintain it. 1t viii take some
time to prepare for an offensive
