Joseph Ford, died Monday evening at the
home OF her sister, Mrs A. d. Olmstead,
after long and painful illness.

tient endurance OF great trouble and suf-
fering.

Burlington hospital while undergoing an
operation, and her husband, who was in
the employ OF the Central Vermont for
a long time, was killed by the cars about
three years ago while at work on the Sec
ton.
Shattered by these Affections, Mrs. Ford
suffered shock OF paralysis, and grew
constantly more and more feeble, being
tenderly cared for in her sickness by her
daughter, Nellie, and her sister, Mrs. Ohm
stead.
One other daughter survives her, Mrs.
Herbert Dodge OF West Brookfeld, Mass,
who, with her husband and child, arrived
Tuesday evening.
The funeral service was conducted at
the house yesterday afternoon at three
o'clock by Rev. Seward Robson, pastor OF
the Baptist church.

FRANCES NEXT FAIR.
Owing to State Dfiaforiness Amerl-
can Exhibitors May Suffer.

Washington City. Aug. 23.-The French
government Is rapidly perfecting details
for the International exposition TO be held
in Paris in 1900 COMMUNICATING the birth
OF the century, and in this connection has
asked the state department for the name
OF the commissioner general who VIII rep
resent the United States, and for such
other information available as to the par
ticipation OF this country. To this Acting
Secretary Rockhill has replied that the
commissioners general has not been nam
ed, as the American congress took no
steps at its recent session TO provide for
American representation at the exposition.
He expressed the belief. however, that the
approaching session OF congress Will bring
about an acceptance OF the invitation OF
the French republic.
President Cleveland called the attention
of congress TO the invitation in his annual
message last December and expressed the
most earnest hope that steps would be
taken for an adequate representation by
the United States. But congress acts slow
~ on these affairs and no measure was
considered, the idea being that there was
plenty of time before 1860. 1t appears,
however, that Great Britain. Germany
and other leading powers have been quick
TO accept, and the French government Is
allotting space to them. The American
exhibitors are beginning TO make inquiry
as to where their goods will go, but no
answer can be given 10 them. The pros
pect is that the best space viii be taken
before the United States accepts the In
vitation and makes application for space.
This was the case at the last exposition,
when American exhibitors were at much
disadvantage in point of location.
1t is expected in official circles here
that when congress acts ii will provide
for a commissioner general and an assist
ant. This was the case with the last
French exposition, when Gen. Franklin
was commissioner general at a salary OF
$40 600, and the assistant commissioner re-
ceived $500.
The opinion prevails that as the appoint
ment will serve after the present admins
tration President Cleveland Will not make
the appointment even though congress
passes the act before March next. Aside
from the direct emoluments attached 10
the Offices, a fund is provided for office
and living expenses. In the case OF Gen.
Franklin. the French government con-
ferred on him the exceptional honor of the
cross of the Legion of Honor, while the
assistant commissioner received lesser
distinction.

whatcom. Aug. 2s.-Specfal--The report
OF the Republican county convention, as
published in the Observation-Disclosures yes
ter3ay, stated that al the present Repub-
Iican officials OF the county who were can
diaates for denomination were defeated.
An exception should have been made in
favor OF f. W. Purdy, treasurer, who was
renominated by reclamation
By the way, the message reporting the
nominations was transmitted upwards of
three thousand miles 10 reach Seattle,
The coast line wires were down and the
operator, to use his own expression. sent
the message around the Horn"-that Is,
from here to Vancouver, thence to Chica-
go and from Chicago to Seattle.
At present there Is no doubt that most
of the delegates from this county are
favorable to the denomination of both Doc
little and Secretary of State Price. and
they viii support candidate for governor
from some other section OF the state. Will

There is a strong feeling that Whatcom

ticket. II is the sixth county In the state
IN point of size. wealth and population,
and Ii has never had place on Repub-
lean state ticket with the single and I'M
important exception OF Mcpherson for

Times from Leayenworth. KAN. SAYS: Six
miles west of Tonganoxie. in Jefferson
county. two farmers engaged IN a battle
Saturday afternoon. mounted on traction
engines. As a result one man was mortal
~ injured and both engines were wrecked.
The threshers. one named Peat and the
other named Stevens. aspired TO do a job
OF threshing for John Earhart. who.
through misunderstanding, had engaged
both men to do the work.
It happened that both of the threshers
arrived at the farm AT the same time.
approaching the main gate in opposite
directions. At the gate they stopped their
traction engines. and a quarrel ensued.
Then they both started TO steam through
the gate at the same moment. A collision
resulted.
Then both engines backed of again and
began jockeying for positions. Another
rush for the gate followed with throtties
wide open. The result was a terrific col
lision. One engine was thrown into the
air and fell back upon the other. Stevens
was CAUGHT between his engine and the
water tank and so badly crushed that he
cannot live. The other engineer escaped.
There have been no arrests.
