M'KINLEY AND SILVER.
The Wyoming Republicans Will Make
Their CRY.

Sheridan, TVyo., May 14.-It IS nOtpos-
sihle for the Republican state conven-
tion to meet much before p. m today,
and a lively time is expected. Upon two
questions to be acted upon in the con-
veation there is practically no division
of sentiment.
Judge Van DeHeater, who has been
engaged in an active canvass for the
Endorsement of wyoming Republicans
for the place upon the national com
mittee viii be supported without any
contest, and Mckinley will be endorsed
for the presidency, probably by accla-
nation.
Upon the silver question, however
everything points toward a contest
with the forces somewhat evenly di-
vided, although the balance appears to
lean toward free silver.
Sound money men are handicapped
in their fight bv the pro-silver declara-
tion OF the state Republican platform
of 1894, and also by the active influence
of the Wyoming congressional delega-
ton.

Topeka
one sister, Mrs. PoweIson of New
Philadelphia also survives her
Mrs. Roberts had been a resident of
Topeka more than quarter Of a cen
tuTy, and a member of the Lutheran
/ church Sc years
Few people who live to extreme old
age are so hedged in with loving care as
was Mrs. Roberts. 1t is this no doubt
which accounts for the bright cheer
fulness which was always hers. even
to the fitting end of a long and useful
life
Mr. Byron Roberts had just returned
from a business trip a day earlier than
he expected to arrive at home. Though
to be expected in the natural order Of
events, his mothers sudden death was
a sad shock to him and to the family.

residence. 315 West Tenth avenue, to-
| morrow (F'riday) afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Rev. Mr. Wagner. assisted by Rev
J. B. bacAfee will conduct the ser
vices. Friends of the family are invi-
ted to attend Interment will in the
/ Topeka cemetery.
THE blessing of her quiet life
Fell on US like the dew
And good thoughts, were her footsteps
pressed,
Like fairy blossoms grew.
Sweet promptings unto kindest deeds
Were in her very look;
I We read her face as one who reads
A true and holy book.
/ Alone unto our Fathers will
One thought hath reconciled
/ That He whose love eXceedeth ours
Hath taken home His child
